GO GIANTS!!!

[andyzee]

I've got a problem with the Giants lately. I used to be a big fan, new every player, knew all the stats. Last few years I kind of lost interest. All of the sudden, it's a whole new team. Is it me or do they have a ton of new players this year?

No, lots of new players. Living in Boston for two years without Cable = no Giants. So now I'm back in the flow and there is a new coach (kudos), Quarterback (double kudos), and some decent offensive guys (that Plaxico guy :roll: Sorry...).

Still got Tiki Barber and Michael Strahan. :beer:

It's a long plane ride from NY to Frisco...line opened up at 9 1/2....this is not good....

Definitely a trap game for the Giants...if they're for real they have to win this game.

OK, I'm convinced they're for real. The reasons:

1) They win a road game against a bad team after an emotional win the week before. Poor Giant's teams would have certainly lost this game.

2) End of first half, 4th down and a 1/2 yard for a 1st down. Poor Giants teams would have called an unimaginative running play for no gain. Instead, Coughlin goes for it all and the Giants score on a gorgeous pass play to Shockey. That was the game winner!

3) Second half, 1st down, ball on the 49er's 2 yard line. Time for a typical Giants red zone meltdown? Nope; one running play, the O line moves the entire right side of the 49er's D out of the way and Jacobs scores.

4) The defense is starting to play well.

Looking good!

Did it feel that way? Hell I thought they were one or two plays away from losing that game....

Yeah, Thank god shockey didn't drop that one...which is usually the case...AND manning overthrew him on that play...some many plays that were a matter of inches...

3) Second half, 1st down, ball on the 49er's 2 yard line. Time for a typical Giants red zone meltdown? Nope; one running play, the O line moves the entire right side of the 49er's D out of the way and Jacobs scores.

This IS the 9er's remember....and You have to like Brandon....now if some one could teach how to run....

4) The defense is starting to play well.

Finally...but the did have another dropped INT....

Looking good!

Hardly....here are some stats though....

Total Yards: 344
Sacks Againts: 0 (That's a big #)
Sacks against 9ers: 3
Penalties: 10-81 yeards (bad, very bad)


quote of the day...

In the NFC, Where teams are imploding, a victory, no matter how ugly, goes a long way....

Next up: Vikes in the Meadowlands...

If this is a blow out...then I'll relax a little...

Betcha Jet tickets will be easy to come by.

PS Finally a Monday night game to watch...

Now if only the Eagles had Brett Farve....

A nightmare?

I had a dream last night where the Giants traded several key players, big bucks and draft choices for Terrell Owens. I woke up in a sweat happy to realize it was just a dream(nightmare).

 

[Brettski]

I don't think there is a team in the league that will take him....although Coughlin would kick his a$$

That sounds horrible!

I give the Eagles alot of credit for suspending Owens, even though it may have cost them their game yesterday...what a jerk!

Despite the fact that the Birds lost last night, I was encouraged to see them play as a team, instead of 52 + 1.

I seriously hope T. whO? is keyshawned for the remainder of the season. Rather see my team go 4-12 without him, than 12-4 with him.

True, very true

They won, I'm happy.

I would say relieved is pretty much how I'm feeling this Monday...

 

[Charlie Schuessler]

Beating Washington during an emotional week, then go to San Francisco and win decidedly on the road, it appears the offense is playing well and the defense is coming together. Leads me to believe that Coughlin is a pretty damn good head coach. Next Game please…

Next up: The Vikes at the swamp

Anyone got tickets?

I totally agree...im totally no Eagles fan, but that guy is WAY outta line....I know Micheal Jordan used to say "theres no I in team, but there is one in WIN". but man T.O. is pushing the limits...dump him he's a moralle destructor.......

I didnt want to quote the long response, but man you're pretty tough on the Gaints for someone who says there a fan. what do they have to make no mistakes? In my world they are in first place...and WINS are WINS.....Theres no pictures on scorecards..

Tough on the Giants? I've been a Giants fan all my life...it's still a very long season...and the hardest part of their schedule is just coming up

They also have 4 road games in the last 6 weeks...if you remember Eli just won his first road game...ever.....They get 2 home games...vikes, then the Eagles...and if you think the Eagles are gonna roll over and die..forget it...

Plus they lost to the Cowgirls when the couldn't stop a OT Drive....

True Giants fans are a bit more realistic...Hey, I'm happy...do they look like world beaters?

No, not until both the offense AND defense start to click.

It is a very long season I agree...but first place is first place..I dont think ANY TRUE Giants fan EVER thought they'd be where they are right now...

As for the Eagles...I think with the loss of T.O. the tide sways more in Giants favor...we have a lot of options on offense...the Eagles really only had that ONE tool...I dont think they'll lose to the Cowgirls...and they'll crush the Redskins AGAIN...Eli got over the road win "hump", it'll only get better..that kid truly looks like the "real deal" to me..

Oh im not trying to start anything Brett, just thought a little overly critical even after wins...wins are wins...plain and simple...it doesnt have to be pretty, or be a HUGE yardage game...its a WIN..

Did you watch the Colts last night?

Did you draw any parallels between the teams or the brothers?

Neither did I

EDIT: Dog, where do you live?

Well i DONT think Eli is his brother by any stretch of the imagination, however I think he could be that good. If you remember Peyton didn't put up huge stats first couple seasons, so i'm not too worried. I just think the kids good...

We've discussed this before...im in Denville...we're "neighbors"..
