TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed to know the answers even before Eli Manning and the Giants’ offense provided the test Sunday in their National Football Conference wild-card playoff game.

Instead, Tampa Bay looked frustrated as Manning meticulously picked apart the Buccaneers’ defense during a 24-14 victory, a lesson in game management.

The Bucs’ defense, ranked No. 2 in the N.F.L. and No. 1 against the pass, did not intercept a pass or cause a fumble, turnovers Tampa Bay surely figured it could count on entering the game. A defense that claimed to be ready to slug it out against running back Brandon Jacobs and to bewilder Manning into game-breaking errors appeared worn down and unable to make basic adjustments.

“We knew what they were going to do,” Buccaneers strong safety Jermaine Phillips said. “They did what we wanted them to do. We thought they were going to go downfield more, and they never did. They were scared of our pass rush, I guess. But they were really patient.”

Manning’s longest completion was for 21 yards, to the rookie receiver Steve Smith, who accounted for about half the yardage after the catch. Manning was 20 of 27 for 185 yards, and his 9.2 yards per completion might have been seen as airtight coverage on the part of Tampa Bay’s pass defenders had the Giants lost.

But Manning was so accurate that only two of his misfires were credited to the Buccaneers as passes broken up (compared with seven for the Giants).

“It was all dinky-dunk routes,” defensive tackle Chris Hovan said. “If we had a little more pressure, get Eli patting the ball a little bit back there, we might have got a big play or turnover and given our offense a short field to work with.”

Manning was sacked once. His pump-fakes and quick, improvised throws to secondary receivers seemed part of the Giants’ strategy, although Manning said the Buccaneers caused him to recock his arm numerous times.

“They just did a good job of guys flashing in lanes,” Manning said. “They do a great job getting turnovers. My thought process was to play really safe, don’t force anything.”

The Buccaneers’ defense guessed wrong several times during a 15-play, 92-yard drive that started late in the third quarter and that gave the Giants a 24-7 lead.

As they had much of the game, the Buccaneers seemed inches from deflecting Manning’s passes, only to see him complete 6 of 7 attempts on the drive, which took 8
minutes 37 seconds off the clock.

“We were unable to make plays like we’re used to making them,” cornerback Phillip Buchanon said.

“Eli, he really played kind of poor,” Buchanon added. “He was not even trying to make any longer throws or do anything drastic. But the game plan they had for him was a good one. They played it safe. It was all real controlled, safe pass patterns.

“He did a good job. But we missed tackles on crucial plays and couldn’t get many pass breakups.”

Giants wide receivers Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress often used their bodies as shields to aid Manning and keep the smaller Buccaneers at bay. Toomer caught seven passes for 74 yards and Burress had four receptions for 38 yards.

In all, seven Giants caught passes as Manning compiled a 117.1 rating, the second highest against the Buccaneers this season.

“Their passing game is tough to defend,” Bucs cornerback Ronde Barber said. “You had to position yourself against Plaxico and Amani and we had a hard time doing it. Those guys are good. I wish them well.”

Barber said last week that Manning could be easily forced into bad plays, perhaps wanting to dare Manning into bravado.

On Sunday, Manning did not take the bait and responded with a near flawless performance.

“We gave him some good looks, some easy reads, and he made a whole bunch of quick throws that were hard to defend,” Barber said.

Phillips added: “We definitely left some plays out there. We tried to adjust, we tried to get them out of their game plan, but it was just too late.”

For Manning and the Giants, the answers came in a timely manner.
