GO GIANTS!!!

Glad to see my boys rollover the Redskins today 36-0. :flag: This could be the year I tell 'ya, could be the year :wink:

Eli has become a man before anybody expected him to. He doesn't have any superstar receivers and giving recognition to all of his receivers while the game is in play and off.

Last week, he showed he could handle the pressure and bring a come back that some veterans in the league can't do.... This week, he just kicked butt and gave their tribute to the late owner.

After watching the Giants pummel the 'skins, it's time to watch the Pats pummel the Bills with BRUSCHI back!

Wellington has put the fix in, Superbowl!

Been a Giant fan for over 45 years, today's game was GREAT but you guys need to reel it in. :lol:

Only a third of the way thru the season. Today it was obvious they were motivated by the emotional tribute to Mara. Beginning to look like getting Eli was a brilliant move, he seems to get better every game. Having Tiki in the backfield and having 3 quality targets to throw to doesn't hurt either. Glad the defense finally stepped up.

Might have had a little something to do with today's game. But this team has just been getting better with every game. Manning, has been gaing more confidence with each game, the Giants have made some good moves with players, and it's all jelling

Agree 100% but was surprised at Mannings passing stats.
I guess when your running game is outdoing the total offense of your opponent you don't have to pass much.

I guess I have seen too many times the Giants go out of the barn quickly only to falter along the way.

When I was a wee little lad I loved the team with YA Tittle, Alex Webster, Joe Morrrison, Del Shofner, Frank Gifford, Rosey Greer,Sam Huff, heck I can name the whole team. The Giants have had some great teams(Simms and company comes to mind) but not like the team from the YA Tittle era.

Don't get me wrong I am loving what I am seeing so far this year.

I've been a Giants fan for 40+ years (even though I root for the Patriots except for when they play the Giants) and watching Eli (10) scampering around the backfield against the Bronco’s reminded me of Tarkenton.... (the dark years)...

It’s fun to watch a lively offense with balanced running and downfield passing...now if the defense can play consistently week after week, then maybe we can start talking about the playoff’s…

Thanks Wellington!

Hey, I bleed Blue...BUT Manning was lucky to have such a strong supporting cast yesterday...he was awful...Not Vinnie and the Jets awful, and he did get the job done, and it's a win. But the defense and the offensive line are the true heroes of that game

Manning will get better, but he left several TD's on the field...wide open Plax...puleaze

 

[JimG.]

I've been a Giants fan since I can remember...I've learned to not get too excited about their fast starts because they have a habit of coming back to the pack, but...

this team looks very good. Tiki Barber is one of the best all purpose backs in the league. 206 rushing yards is an All-Pro performance. Eli did enough to win and stayed out of the way for the most part. Best news was the defense...they took the Redskins O apart.

wow thats rough...you make it sound like the kids throwing interceptions? In actuality he's thrown VERY few in comparision to some of his peers...take Favre yesterday...Tikis having a GREAT year...holding onto the ball...but really to say manning was Awful...thats harsh..wasnt there a 0 on the other teams scoreboard???? To me that says....good job Eli..keep up the good work...
Yesterdays game was a tough test...least it was supposed to be and the Gints ran over that team like a freight train...Mara's death or not they showed they are a contender...Highest scoring offense in the league no??? You certainly arent doing that with an "awful" QB....

Well he is...in the end zone no less....

Did you read the link?

He had a passer rating of 51.3%....that needs to get waaaaaaay better if they are going to make some noise.

Hey, don't get me wrong.....this kid is smart, athletic, humble, and is going to an all-star

Read the link....

...the dark years...

The darkest Giant years were the Craig Morton/Larry Csonka/Parkway Joe Pisarcik era from 1973-1980. Look it up - their record in those 8 years was 33-84-1. Yuck......

 

[ski_resort_observer]

Who was the quarterback who simply had to take the snap and put his knee down to win the game but instead fumbled, the other team recovered and scored the winning touchdown with like no time on the clock? Was it Joe P. against Philly?

Yea, those years with Fran were strange. The defensive lineman hated trying to catch him... :lol:

 

[Brettski]

Doesn't anyone remeber it correctly?

It's Patterson Plank Joe, and it was a hand off to Larry Czonka, who was not thrilled about the call.

The D back that picked it up was Herman Edwards of the Eagles.

The offensive coordinator was fired the next day...

I got a link somewhere...

And I remeber watching that game....

 

[JimG.]

Yes, it was "Jersey Joe" Pisarcik who authored one of the sorriest gaffs in NFL history. I think that was the year that Giants fans were burning season tickets outside the stadium.

 

[ChileMass]

The Miracle of the Meadowlands.......

I was living in the dorms and we were laying it on the Jets fans who had just lost to Buffalo (I think) to miss the 1978 playoffs, and the Giants were going to beat Philly in a HUGE upset. But then Joisey Joe's handoff hit Csonka in the butt, it took one bounce right into Herm Edwards' arms, he ran into the endzone and the Giants lose humiliatingly - again. The next day a NY Post article asked rhetorically if that was the way the coaches had drawn it up on the Giants "blackboard of buffoonery"......

 

[ALLSKIING]

The Giants are playing well at this point in the season. Did I say I was a Vikings fan :blink: . What a year for them..Tough year to be a viking fan.

 

[bill9009]

You have to give it up for jay feely also, he only missed one field goal, out of 6 i think,

plus i had feely and the giants defense on one of my fantasy teams, so they earned me 40+ points alone!!
