Game Day Open Thread

Let's get this started!

I'm not sanguine about this season (and it appears that I'm not alone here), but that goes out the window once game time rolls around. KICK DALLAS' ASS!!!!

I'll be back around game time. Right now, it's time to watch Pedro Martinez make his Shea debut and mow down the Astros.

Come back Tiki!!!

Get ready for a butt whoopin

Giants fans.

GO COWBOYS!!

by Terry on Sep 9, 2007 7:11 PM EDT 0 recs

the jacobs era

begins. It is going to be weird not being able to turn to Tiki in the 4th quarter. I'm interested to see if Strahan sees limited action.

by seamus on Sep 9, 2007 8:24 PM EDT 0 recs

WOW!!!!

Manning his his receiver right in stride!!!! I never thought I'd see this day!!!!

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 8:27 PM EDT 0 recs

That was sweet!

Too bad the PAT brought around memories of Trey Junkin.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 8:34 PM EDT up 0 recs

nice

Touchdown Burress!

btw, Seeing no Parcells on the Dallas sideline is comforting...

by seamus on Sep 9, 2007 8:30 PM EDT 0 recs

So Strahan...

is playing only 3rd downs?

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 8:33 PM EDT 0 recs

What's with our horrible

pass coverage?

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 8:35 PM EDT 0 recs

d line is getting pushed around

need more pressure

by DieEaglesDie on Sep 9, 2007 8:38 PM EDT 0 recs

No offense to Justin Tuck,

but we need Strahan to play all 3 downs.

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 8:39 PM EDT 0 recs

And the D bends

but does not break.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 8:39 PM EDT 0 recs

that was quick

Not even through the 1st quarter and Umeniyora is headed to the locker room. Wonderful.

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 8:41 PM EDT 0 recs

Any clue on the injury?

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 8:42 PM EDT up 0 recs

phew!

Finally stopped a third down. Need to do better, but at least we kept them out of the end zone.

Osi hurt is not good.

by seamus on Sep 9, 2007 8:41 PM EDT 0 recs

Damnit. Did not want Strahan

to play the whole game in replacement of Osi.

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 8:48 PM EDT 0 recs

having missed camp

I'd worry about Strahan's stamina to play the whole game.

by seamus on Sep 9, 2007 8:50 PM EDT up 0 recs

Absolutely right.

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 8:56 PM EDT up 0 recs

that sucked

6 inches from 13-3. Damn.

So far, Manning isn't tossing wounded ducks into double coverage. His passes look great.

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 8:50 PM EDT 0 recs

i like the call

I like the decision to go for it. That said, I was disappointed with having Ward in on 3rd and short and not Brandon. 3rd and 5+ I'd be ok with it.

by seamus on Sep 9, 2007 8:54 PM EDT 0 recs

geez

how many 3rd and long conversions is the secondary going to give up?

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 8:57 PM EDT 0 recs

I hope they make a bobblehead of Romo

getting that snap he wasn't expecting.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 9:00 PM EDT 0 recs

yeah what a dork

red 24, red 24, hut hut -- whooaoaoaaoaoa heeeeeeeey!!!!!!

by DieEaglesDie on Sep 9, 2007 9:03 PM EDT up 0 recs

ok

I'll take some self-destruction on the part of Dallas' offense.

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 9:00 PM EDT 0 recs

Who replaced Glenn?

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:03 PM EDT 0 recs

so nice to see toomer out there

he makes a big difference

by DieEaglesDie on Sep 9, 2007 9:04 PM EDT 0 recs

Eli's really zipping the ball.

Me likey.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 9:05 PM EDT 0 recs

Wade Phillips has one of those faces

that I'm glad to see on the other sideline.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 9:06 PM EDT 0 recs

To tell the truth

Coughlin does too, but, well, can't win 'em all I guess.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 9:10 PM EDT up 0 recs

Jacobs=Beast

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:08 PM EDT 0 recs

catch the ball first ward

then run

by DieEaglesDie on Sep 9, 2007 9:09 PM EDT 0 recs

Should of had Steve Smith in.

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:10 PM EDT up 0 recs

Someone has to tackle Milli Vanilli there.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 9:12 PM EDT 0 recs

BULLSHIT!!!!

Where are the blocks?!?!

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:16 PM EDT 0 recs

ugh

Manning and Jacobs could be the greatest QB-RB tandem in Giants history, but this team isn't going to win much if the defense can't tackle.

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 9:17 PM EDT 0 recs

awful tackling

webster completely punked out.

by DieEaglesDie on Sep 9, 2007 9:18 PM EDT 0 recs

I hope the botched PAT

doesn't define the winner of this game.

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:18 PM EDT 0 recs

there was a major hold

on that TD. Whitten was holding (Kiwi?)..

by seamus on Sep 9, 2007 9:19 PM EDT 0 recs

Great Osi done for the night.

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:22 PM EDT 0 recs

damn

that sucked.

by seamus on Sep 9, 2007 9:24 PM EDT 0 recs

dammit

That wasn't Manning's fault.

Maybe the roof will cave in on the Giants bench, considering how snakebitten they've been so far tonight.

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 9:24 PM EDT 0 recs

wtf plax

get some new turf spikes. jesus.

by DieEaglesDie on Sep 9, 2007 9:25 PM EDT 0 recs

ed hoculi's arms are effing huge

and hes like 70

by DieEaglesDie on Sep 9, 2007 9:25 PM EDT 0 recs

No doubt. HGH.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 9:31 PM EDT up 0 recs

pressure?

How about knocking Romo down for once?

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 9:28 PM EDT 0 recs

FUCK

Where is the pressure? WHERE?

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:30 PM EDT 0 recs

another 3rd and long converted

The Giants secondary is awful, but their pass rush might be even worse.

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 9:30 PM EDT 0 recs

Whatever our scheme was for Witten

it needs a review. Stat.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 9:31 PM EDT 0 recs

I wonder if letting go of

Lavar and Emmons was a mistake.

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:33 PM EDT 0 recs

Why is Jacob's out?

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:39 PM EDT 0 recs

Strined right knee, they said.

More tests tomorrow.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 9:39 PM EDT up 0 recs

Jacobs

That is not good. I can't see the Giantrs running game in the hands of D Ward for a long period of time.

by ETVal on Sep 9, 2007 9:56 PM EDT up 0 recs

Tlaking about Tiki coming back

that might be the one way he can redeem himself.

Nice job by Shockey there getting the 1st.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 9:39 PM EDT 0 recs

With the way we're playing,

Coughlin will be out by week 5.

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:41 PM EDT 0 recs

Thank you, Burress.

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:46 PM EDT 0 recs

Eli

I've been his biggest detractor over the past two seasons, but I'm really, really impressed with his performance tonight.

That was huge to get back into the game right before the half.

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 9:46 PM EDT 0 recs

Your assertion is correct.

Hopefully this performance continues throughout the season and this game.

-Nice fumble recovery, Giants.

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:48 PM EDT up 0 recs

Eli

Playing really well so far. The INT was not his fault. Can't do a thing about a receiver falling down.

by ETVal on Sep 9, 2007 9:59 PM EDT up 0 recs

Has Eli's accuracy gotten better?

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:49 PM EDT 0 recs

Seems like he's putting more on the ball

for sure.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 9:51 PM EDT up 0 recs

Beautimous!

Damn PAT the difference right now.

by Mr Met on Sep 9, 2007 9:50 PM EDT 0 recs

I know right.

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:51 PM EDT up 0 recs

alright!

If not for the flubbed snap on the first PAT, this would be tied. Either way, this is a game again.

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 9:50 PM EDT 0 recs

Grades

Offense-B+
Defense-D
Special Teams-C+

What do you guys say? About right?

by HeAvyHiTTer218 on Sep 9, 2007 9:53 PM EDT 0 recs

I'd give special teams a B

For forcing that fumble.

Come back Tiki!!!

by Greenpoint Ian on Sep 9, 2007 9:54 PM EDT up 0 recs

It's a ballgame

Don't know about you guys, but I love what I've seen from Eli so far. The Jacobs thing stinks and I hope it's not serious -- Osi, too. How many injuries can one team have?

Gotta love big plays from the special teams. Fired up for the second half, but praying like hell it doesn't come down to Jay Alford needing to make a good snap to win the game.
