Tiki Barber, 'nuff said: Giants 34 - Redskins 28

I have been all over Tiki Barber all week and I could not be happier that he crammed it in my face. Tiki, I beg you to reconsider your retirement and stay with the Giants for at least one more year. For anyone who did not see this game tonight, it was a perfect example of what Tiki Barber is and what he has been to the New York Giants. In what could potentially be the final game of his career [still a possibility] he had the very best game of his career. He single handedly beat the Redskins and possibly carried them to the playoffs on his shoulder.

Tiki managed 237 rushing yards on 23 carries and 3 touchdowns. He added to that with 3 receptions for 24 yards. What more can you say? When the entire world was questioning his mental state and focus on football, he stepped up and reminded us all just how great he truly is. Every time the Giants started to slack Barber would grab the ball and make a huge run. He was absolutely determined to give it everything he had left and refused to lose.

Sadly the Giants defense did everything they could to give it up but on a 4th down and 10 with 2:01 left on the clock Gibril Wilson tipped away any final hopes the Redskins had.

What else is there to say? I am sure I could pick things out of the air but I feel like it's Tiki's night. He played one of the most amazing games I had ever seen an individual play and think I should leave it with that. Tiki, if that was your last game we'll miss you. The Giants have never and will never have a running back quite as talented as you.

I hope I get to see him again next week but if not, adios Tiki, you will be missed!

Giants 34 - Redskins 28.
