Amidst all the Tony Gonzalez talk, let's not forget the Giants have a huge game tonight agains the Cleveland Browns.
With the losses by Dallas and Washington this weekend the Giants could take a big step forward in the NFC East race with a win tonight. Let's not forget, the last 11 games of the schedule are brutal so the Giants can't let any of these 'should win' games slip away.
Here is your Open Thread for tonight's Giants-Browns Monday Night Football matchup. Enjoy the game!

I have a paper due tomorrow morning
that I haven’t even started, some of my favorite TV shows are on tonight, the baseball playoffs are in full swing, and the Giants are on MNF! Sensory overload…
I’m gonna try to watch the Giants game while writing my paper. We’ll see how productive I am…

for me is huge
I have not been able to watch the giants play since the opener, I work on sunday mornings, if the games were at 4 then yes, so I became an internet junkie listening games over the giants.com page. So I won’t be here to comment, but I will read everything tomorrow (unless they loose wich is unlikely, I hope)

MNF
This would be a huge win the way the NFC East is shaping up. The tough part of the schedule is yet to come, and building a cushion would be a great thing.

yes
Like I said earlier, I’m glad the GMen saw how teams lost yesterday so they are more focused, I don’t care if they win by 1 point, as long as we get some distance from the other teams

Here are your inactives tonight, courtesy of Mike Garafolo.
K Lawrence Tynes
S Sammy Knight
RB Danny Ware
CB Sam Madison
LB Jonathan Goff
OL Adam Koets
DE Dave Tollefson
WR Sinorice Moss
Surprised to see Moss on the list. What does the guy have to do? He caught two touchdown passes last week.

who should he be leapfrogging on the chart

A poster on NJ.com made an interesting point
Is Moss inactive because he is on the trading table?

I need 9 more points out of Edwards and Jacobs to get off the snide in my fantasy team.
I hope Jacobs runs all over em. And god forbid the Browns get a TD it better be Edwards.

strange sequence of kickoffs
they drop the ball and it bounces into the endzone. Ours bounces before a player can catch it and we have to dive on it. Have you ever seen 2 consecutive kickoffs with no return that weren’t kicked into the endzone or onsides kicks?

Maybe an attitude adjustment
Giants are not matching the intensity of the Browns

give the Browns
some credit. Their not a bad team, are at home and hungry for win number 2.

I disagree
They ARE a bad team, they’ve been terrible so far, and they are taking it to the Giants

When Pierce is getting beat by Darnell Dinkins that tells you he does not belong on the field. Yikes!

Alright
lets get some points before the half, then get the ball back to begin the 2nd half. Still a lot of football to be played.
by cjmulrain on Oct 13, 2008 9:53 PM EDT 0 recs
Well, worst case *knock on wood*
We get 3 here, and hope for a TD to open the second half and to retake the momentum
by nyg2008 on Oct 13, 2008 10:04 PM EDT 0 recs
Yes!!!
Plaxico is such a nice red zone target. That was a huge drive
by cjmulrain on Oct 13, 2008 10:05 PM EDT 0 recs
17-14 at half
This could have been much, much worse. If the Giants can get some stops on defense they can win this game. But, nothing is easy in the NFL.

Not bad. I have a nagging feeling that we are going to come back. This game should not be this close.

It feels like
the Browns should be winning by 3 scores or more. This has just been an ugly game so far for the Giants. Hopefully they can pull it out and never play a team from Ohio again

what the hell
they couldn’t swallow their whistles earlier, and that wasn’t a hold?

this is shitty
the lack of pressure on the QB didn’t burn us last week but it’s burning us tonight

we’re not getting there, stop blitzing, this looks like the first two games last year

How many times will they send 6 guys and have it not work before maybe they try something else?

this is the most frustrating game
I’ve watched in a loooooong time. I almost wish they’d just march down and score, but the constant penalties then first downs are killing me.

They have the Giants Def playbook or something. this is frustrating.
Not over yet. Still the 4th to play.

still not over
look at the Colts-Texans game last weekend and like every game yesterday.
That said, they need to figure out how to stop these guys. They haven’t let a team go down the field on them like this since the Patriots in the regular season finale, but at least that was understandable.

Derrick Ward
he was kinda the unforgotten man this offseason, we were all so enamored with Bradshaw and Jacobs, but so far you could argue that he’s been the Giants best and most important back this year.
