Skins @ Giants: Halftime

Win-or-go-home-time.

So far the Skins look like they want. The biggest thing right now is that they are putting points on the board despite the high winds.

In recent years they haven't been able to rely on all these field goals, but Shaun Suisham is getting it done like John Hall never could. Three field goals in the first half and Betts' ballsy touchdown run have the Skins ahead 16-3 in the Meadowlands.

They need to keep the ball on the ground. Portis has 16 carries for 88 yards and the skins are consistently getting in the redzone. Collins is struggling — 4 of 18 — but still has 105 yards and the wind is bothering Eli just as much. Lil Manning has only 51 yards and is 6 of 21.

I'd like to see the blocking backs, whether it is Betts, Sellers or Cooley to get in behind Stephon Heyer who's struggling with that monster D-Line of the Giants. But once that ball is past the line of scrimmage the Skins wide-receivers need to continue blocking down field cause a big play or two could put this one away.

Check back after the game.
