Giants Blow 21 Point Lead, Lose To Eagles In Final Seconds

It should have been easy. The Giants were up 21 points, with 8 minutes left in the game. Should have been easy. But, as it always with this team, it wasn’t easy. 8 minutes later, the Eagles are on top, walking away with a victory. A 31-10 lead became a 38-31 loss. Just like that. [...]

Just Venting After One Giant Implosion:

I am out of town this weekend but caught the last few minutes of the game today at a local watering hole.  I’ve completely had it with this team. Winning 24-3 and losing that game is baffling to me.  I didn’t get a chance to see the whole game (thankfully) but what I did see [...]

Thinking About The Eagles

Once again, biggest game of the year. Once again. Philly is invading the Meadowlands, with Mike Vick playing like a superhero. It should be fun, no? -Mike Vick Giants actually did a good job on Vick last time around. It resulted in a loss, but he wasn’t dominant. You have to get pressure on him. [...]

Thoughts And Musings

A day later, but it’s here. Thoughts and Musings after the Giants beat the Vikings in Detroit. Let’s get it. -Weird game. First, it was in Detroit. Second, no Favre. Three, no real rhythm. Lots of penalties, especially by the VIkings. Slow game. A bit boring. -Good win. But have to see what comes of the injuries. Manningham, [...]

Travel Doesn’t Faze Giants As They Beat Up On Vikings, Win 21-3

This was just a weird, weird game. But it worked out for the Giants, as they beat the Vikings 21-3. The Giants rode a good running game and stifling defense to beat the Vikings in their game in Detroit. The Vikings started off the scoring on a 21 yard field goal, after an Eli Manning interception. That [...]

Giants Vikings Halftime Thoughts

Okay, let’s be honest: Have you seen a weirder game? I mean, first there’s the fact that they’re playing this in Detroit, with barely any fans. Then, Brett Favre isn’t starting for the first time in 297 games. And then the game itself, for the most part, was slow. It all adds up to a [...]
