I don't have much more to say on this one, other than I'm fired up and ready for the game to start.

This is your open thread.

Hopefully, next week we are talking about the next round instead of next season.

DT Manny Wright
TE Jerome Collins

That means we'll see at least some of Corey Webster today, and maybe a lot depending on how much Kevin Dockery can play.

Gray Reugamer will play for Shaun O'Hara, so that hurt the offensive line.

Kawika Mitchell will play.

So, last week's stellar effort against New England ends up costing the Giants two key players. Let's hope that doesn't end up killing them today.

no Moss drops or short patterns on third down

today. Yea!

A Good Thing

One plus to today's game is (and I know some could care less) that Walt Coleman and his crew WILL NOT be officiating this game.

This is reminding me

of Dan Reeves again. Could we be any more predictable on 3rd down?

Tough start

Three 3-and-outs. We need to figure out a way to get these guys blocked and make some plays. Also, where is the blitz on d? Nothing but vanilla so far.

Eli and Toomer

were absolutely great on that TD drive. We needed that.

They made us change our game plan, but in the

secound half they'll have to change theirs. I've never seen Eli throw the short ball so well.

Loving Eli right now

Have to be impressed with the way he commanded the Giants -- and threw darts -- on those two touchdown drives. Say a prayer that Eli and the Giants can keep this up.

too bad

would have been nice to get 7 off the turnover

Bright Orange

Pam Oliver looks like the Sunkist orange today.

Corey Webster is having some game

I've killed dude a lot over the years but he looks like the player we were told we're getting. BTW, this is downside of Garcia he simply can't beat you deep.

by DoctorK16 on Jan 6, 2008 2:57 PM EST reply actions

No deep threats

Galloway is hurt, Ike is old. Really, all they have is is the short game. Also, Giants pass rush does a lot to take away the deep game, not giving time for the plays to develop

its funny when Aikman

talks about receivers pushing off because he benefited from playing with the master at that in Irvin.

Damn FOX!!

Missed half of that last TD drive. How the hell can you lose the picture on a 70 degree, sunny day. Geez!! On the bright side, 24-7 baby!! Gotta love it right now.
