Giants Hang On, Beat Jets In First Game In New Stadium

A star was born at the New Meadowlands as the Giants beat the Jets 31-16  in the first game at the Stadium. Paterson, NJ native  WR Victor Cruz stole the show and pretty much singlehandedly won the game for the Giants. The Giants started the game off when Antrel Rolle returned an interception to the [...]

Patriots Beat Giants 38-27 In Final Preseason Game

It may have been the final preseason game, and the Patriots may have been playing all their scrubs and youngsters, but the Giants looked really, really good in a 38-27 loss to  the Pats in Foxboro.

Giants Patriots Halftime Thoughts

Sure, the Pats are playing their scrubs, but the Giants looked pretty damn good, as they’re beating the Patriots 24-14 after the first half. Receivers were catching the ball (shocking,I know), Eli and David Carr were sharp.  Eli was 3-3 with 76 yards and a touchdown. Carr was 6-6 for 153 yards and two touchdowns. [...]

Giants vs Patriots Game Preview

The 1-2 Giants head to Foxboro to take on the 2-1 Patriots in the preseason finale. Traditionally, the final preseason game is the one where the starters play the least, and that’s the case here. Expect a series or two for the first team offense and defense. You don’t want to have any injuries. Backups [...]

Jets Beat Giants 27-25

In the Battle Of New York, it was the Jets who ended up on top, beating the Giants 27-25, thanks in part to a ton of drops by the Giants receiving core. The Giants fall to 1-2 in preseason play, while the Jets gained their first win and are now 1-2 as well. The Giants [...]

Giants Jets Halftime Thoughts

The Giants looked a lot better than they did in Chicago, even if they missed some opportunities, and even if they are losing 17-13 at the half. Steve Smith dropped a sure 90 yard touchdown pass. Domenik Hixon dropped a pass that led to an interception. Other than that, they looked smooth. I thought Manning [...]

Giants vs Jets Game Preview

Week 3 of preseason is upon us. That means we actually get to see the starters play for more than a couple series. The 1-1 Giants take on Mark Sanchez and the 0-2 Jets at the Meadowlands. The Giants are the home team. Again, as with all preseason games, we’re looking at the backups, the [...]

Giants Lose To Bears 17-3

After last week’s thrilling last second victory, the Giants came out flat and looked over matched in a 17-3 loss to the Chicago Bears Saturday night. The first team defense did not get any pressure, and Jay Cutler looked like the second coming of John Elway, while Matt Forte looked like Barry Sanders. The Giants [...]

Giants Bears Halftime Thoughts

For some reason, the Giants didn’t look as sharp as they did against Carolina. Maybe it’s the short turnaround, but they just didn’t look sharp. Defense wasn’t getting as much pressure. Offense didn’t look as crisp. Just a flat, uninspired effort so far. But, it’s good that it’s the preseason. This is the time to [...]
