Time For The Giants To Close Up Shop

Can The Giants Stay In The Playoff Hunt?

In his first full season of starting for the Cincinnati Bengals, Carson Palmer had a QB rating of 101.1. Over the last two seasons, Palmer threw for over 4,000 yards. Sunday, Palmer will bring his 37.1 rating and the worst passing offense in the league into the Meadowlands to face the Giants. Is this some sort of statistical anomaly? Perhaps, but don’t expect Palmer to return to his old form against the Giants. more ›

Cory Stillman scored the winning goal for the Hurricanes in overtime on a power play. more ›

  • Will The Giants Make It To Arizona?

    Will The Giants Make It To Arizona?

    There is a lot riding on the NFC Championship Sunday. Yes, a trip to the Super Bowl may be the ultimate prize, but how about a whole lot of food or a place in a wedding party? And, look at the lengths that some “fans’ will go for victory, is it ethical to deprive someone of the ability to watch Seinfeld? None of that will matter on Sunday when the Giants take the field in frigid Green Bay. Brett Favre and the Packers are used to these types of conditions and as they showed last week, bad weather will not slow them down. more ›

    John Madden said it best on the air, “Osi Umenyiora made the Pro Bowl in one night tonight”. Umenyiora turned in one of the greatest games by a defensive end ever, sacking Donovan McNabb six times officially and just missing out on a few other opportunities. And it wasn’t just Umenyiora, the defense had a dominating night. recording 12 sacks and holding the Eagles to only three points in the 16-3 win. Aaron Ross added some coverage to the secondary, Michael Strahan broke LT’s sack record, Kawika Mitchell had a fumble return for a touchdown and Antonio Pierce was everywhere. more ›

    The Giants Are Defenseless

    The Giants Are Defenseless

    Hopefully, Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo didn’t buy a house when he moved to New York this off-season. After two games it looks as if Spagnuolo and Tom Coughlin will be looking for new jobs very soon. The numbers are hideous, 80 points allowed in two games, over 800 yard allowed and opponents have completed an astounding 71% of their passes against them, but the visual evidence is even worse. Mathias Kiwanuka looks lost at linebacker. Kawika Mitchell’s play makes you long for the days of Carlos Emmons and Webster and Madison can’t cover anyone. more ›
