Giants

8 November 2009

Ugh, I remember this feeling.  The Giants are once again an excruciating, exhausting team to watch.  They have been for most of my lifetime, yet somehow, they put it all together at the end of the 2007 season.  They won the Superbowl, beat an undefeated team, and even carried that momentum into the majority of the following season, but overall this has never been a team that handles prosperity well.

mind, it's going right into this post...

-New York football is riding high, as both the Jets and Giants have improved to 3-0. The Giants had a walk in the park against the laughable Tampa Bay Bucs, but the Jets had to work extremely hard for their victory against the desperate Tennessee Titans. Rex Ryan's boys (and my favorite team) certainly earned the win, but Tennessee's wide receiver drops had a little something to do with it. Kerry Collins' statistics were very misleading today; he actually played well.

            Each week, on Friday, I will look into my (never wrong, just misinformed) crystal ball and give my predictions for that weekend games.  I will always prognosticate on the Eagles and Cowboys games and then pick two more games of interest (to me, that is, not necessarily to you).  Keep in mind, that this is for entertainment purposes only, and that I do not endorse any sort of legal or illegal gambling.  That being said…let’s see what’s in my crystal ball!

NFC East

Week 4

Hello East fans,

Since there was only on division game this week the world was focused in Dallas.

The G-men were off this week and off out scowering jail cells for their great wide receiver. I am sure they will have enough time to bail him out since he ahs been suspended for a game for missing a team meeting. The Skins were in town to try and upset the undefeated Cowgals.

NFC East

Week 3

Hello East fans,

After some great games this Sunday, it is time to analyze the teams in our great division, because no other division really matters in this league. Well let’s start off by evaluating the G-men, whom I really don’t know what to make of just yet. They struggled against a winless, defenseless Bengals team that looked like their season has just started. They went in at halftime losing by three but in reality it could have been more if their D-line had not stepped up and sacked Palmer at the end of the half. Their offense looked somewhat anemic against the bottom feeding defense, if we can even call it a defense of the Bengals.

Let’s take our New York Giants as the example. What a great year to be a fan of a great Giants team, a team whose fantasy point value is expected to be high. So, to those Giants

Wow did St Louis stink it up last week. The Giants beat them like they owed them money. Marc Bulger's back must be killing him. The Giants D-Line was on his back all Sunday. Six sacks! Oh yes. So many doubters out ther talked about the fact that #72 was out for the season and #92 had retied after last years Super Bowl win. The

E. Butler, Mississippi State, 6-3", 255lbs.  Interesting, but Shockey isn't going anywhere.  Let's see how the mending TE responds this year.  Does he play all 16 plus games?

A whole bunch of it.  This bodes well for the Giants in 2009.  Please note:
Dallas - F. Adams, M. Colombo have 17 years of combined service.
Philadelphia - T. Thomas, J. Runyon have 24 years combined service.

In the 6th round, the Giants selected Robert Henderson of Southern Miss. Productive, strong, potential as an edge rusher as well as possibly a Tuck clone, slipping inside to conquer with quickness and strength.  He'll take a year or two to develop in Spag's scheme and he may have competition.  The

I never thought my obsession with the Giants would lead me to blogging but here we go.  The New York Giants have lost some key pieces to their superbowl team with the departure of Gibril Wilson, Kawika Mitchell, and Reggie Torbor.   Mathais Kiwanuka will be back from injury which takes care of the loss of Torbor.  We have signed Sammy Knight to replace Wilson, but have not found anybody to add depth to those positions.

It's been just three days since the Giants won the Super Bowl and to tell you the truth, each day just keeps getting better.  The weather is warmer, jokes are funnier and the highlight clips are endless.  I mean, how many times have you watched the Manning to Tyree play?  Today I want to get into Eli, Strahan, the Coach, and the Tom Brady Snub

After an unforgettable game for the ages the Giants lifted the Vince Lombardi in the heart of the Arizona desert. And I'm speechless. No, I'm not speechless. I just keep screaming the same word to myself while smiling and pumping my fists, "YES"!! "YES"!! "YES"!! Sing it like Marv Albert.

On one side we have a Giants team that is best suited to try and play ball control and keep Tom Brady and the vaunted Patriots' offense off the field. But football is unique in that days of gameplanning can be shot to hell almost instantly. The Patriots can win the coin toss, receive the opening kickoff and, if they execute as they have for the majority of this season, put the

I guess the reasons why I am so jacked are:

A. The Giants haven't won a SB since I was in the 4th grade

B. New York hasn't won jack since 2000

C-Z. Forget it, I could go through the whole damn alphabet at least 100 times with reasons why I want the

an 48 hours before Super Bowl XLII.  There’s a wide eyed excitement in the air about the Giants that I haven’t seen in a very long time.   Dare I even undermine my own New Yorkness for a second, and say that I find it quite refreshing to see this town lose its cynicism and view their “underdog”

Come Friday, Giants fans are going to be pulling their hair. Hopefully, if your not already bald, you'll still have a full head of hair come gameday. It's tough, because you have now waited twelve days since the Green Bay win and you are coming up on 48 hours away from the Super Bowl. Your legs are shaking, you're on your fourth cup of coffee (or Pepsi in my case) and you go to ESPN.com ten times before noon. Not to mention, you have read the sports pages of the New York Post and the Daily News three times each, front to back, strictly

watching a sports highlights show recently, and saw Coach Tom Coughlin call his Giants the team of destiny. Huh? I thought all along it was the Patriots and their pursuit of perfection deservant of the "Team of Destiny" moniker. I rethought the situation and the words of Coughlin and came to the conclusion that he is right. The

As the Giants are preparing for their first Super Bowl appearance in seven years, both fans and the N.Y. media are starting to wonder if the team and Eli Manning are better off without Jeremy Shockey. The answer to this question is one thousand percent NO. Now I'm not saying that the stats can't provide a good argument in this case, but I ask these people to consider this.

Was I watching “Jerry Maguire 2” Sunday night after the Giants/Cowboys game? T.O.’s tearful comments to the press came off as the emotional climax of a melodramatic Rod Tidwell scene. Where’s the T.O. we all know and love (except for the love part)? Why wasn’t he ripping Tony Romo for his previous week’s exploits or ripping Jason Garrett for limiting him in the second half? Where’s the negativity which reared its ugly head in Philadelphia and San Francisco? What’s with the teammate act he’s trying to pass off as genuine? Is it just another media ploy or is this the new Terrell Owens?

Even as recently as this past weekend prior to the Giants/Bucs kickoff, the FOX studio crew was pondering which Eli would show up? The Good Eli or the Bad Eli? And yet as recently as halftime during the same game, the same studio crew was praising Eli saying that we may be witnessing the coming of age of the young quarterback.
