Can The Giants Stay In The Playoff Hunt?
Barring a miracle, this will be the last game for the Giants at Giants’ Stadium and New York desperately needs a win. While Monday’s thrashing of Washington kept their playoff hopes alive, the Giants still have a lot of work to do and need a lot of help.
Can The Giants Stop Anyone?
For the third-consecutive week the Giants face a NFC East opponent in a huge game. With Dallas’ victory over New Orleans Saturday Night, the Giants will probably have to win their last three games to have any shot at the playoffs.
Giants Put Their Best Foot Forward Heading To Tampa
The Giants are having a hard time getting healthy, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Justin Tuck, Kevin Dockery, Aaron Ross and Chris Canty are all expected to miss the game on Sunday. Kenny Phillips has been placed on Injured Reserve, which means his season is over, so the defense will be thin again, especially in the secondary.
Giants Look to Stay Perfect against Cincy
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.
Big Blue Feeling Blue With Flu
to clean up the mess. The New York training staff has been giving the players every type of preventative medicine they can come up with to ward off the flu and hopefully having all the players together on a plane will not have an adverse affect.
Last Night's Action: Knicks Fare Better This Time
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.
A Giant Test: Will the 3rd Time Be a Charm
The degree of difficulty is going up this weekend, way up. Dallas finished with the best record in the NFC at 13-3 and dominated the Giants in two games already this season. Only New England had more points than Dallas’ 455 and with Terrell Owens practicing, the Cowboys should be able to score a lot this weekend.
Giants Outlast The Jets
It was a tale of two halves at the Meadowlands on Sunday. In the first half, the Giants did everything they could to hand a game to the Jets, in the second half, they woke up and took control of the game.
Umenyiora 6, Philadelphia 3
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.
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.
The Locals Get Defensive At The Draft
The Jets and the Giants took very different approaches to the draft on Saturday, but when the day was over, both had primarily upgraded their defenses. Five of the six selections made by the locals were defensive players and both teams hope they addressed some key needs.
Giant Troubles
What is going on with the Giants? They cut three starters before free agency began and have so far only replaced one, their idiot coach seems to think it is acceptable to compare himself to Hitler and fans may got stuck with paying for PSL's in the new stadium.
