Are you doing 5 questions with this Joker? They can ridicule our pass rush? BJ’s no good? A “non factor”?………oh boy

This is the dumbest thing, anyone has ever said, ever:

“The offense did decline, and given time, so will the defense”

What is he basing this on? Unless by “time” he means “20 years”, because yeah, I could see how Fred Robbins might not be as effective when he is 51.

And does this genius know the Giants have a few other running backs besides Jacobs, and that they have been effective when Jacobs has not?

I just went over there and read it, after about 10 words it all sounds like an adult in the “Peanuts” cartoons.

Between this guy, and the other genius who caused a stir with his Seahawks blog the other day, this has become a game I want the Giants to win VERY badly.

One last thing, when the Seahawks were sucking nightly at the Kingdome for all those years, had anyone even heard of a Seahawks fan?

right on the head jrs. " Between this guy, and the other genius who caused a stir with his Seahawks blog the other day, this has become a game I want the Giants to win VERY badly." As far as the blogger , it goes beyond bad taste and a lack of discretion, I can’t really respond the way I’d like to.What good could it do, I wish he’d come say those things to my face though. The SB nation guy has me kind of stunned though, Even without Burress we can still pass the ball, I guess he forgot that. Ward and Bradshaw are chopped meat? The defense is going to show their “softer side”? Yeah I’ll have an extra rooting interest Sunday!

To me, this is an incredible over-reliance on numbers. If you just want to throw stats around you can make any team out to be anything you want, which is pretty much what he did. What matters is the result on the scoreboard at the end of four quarters, and we know how the Giants have been doing with that stat.

the field gulls post doesnt get me any more fired up about the game, unlike the 9/11 piece of shit guy.

he makes some valid points but really over states the affect they will have on the game. plus the c-hox blow. seriously, who do they have on their team? its a scrub-fest. still, what is the guy supposed to say ‘oh yeah, we suck, gaints by 2 TDs sounds about right.’?

Check out this article they did regarding the Plax suspension

Then Johnny Morgan steps in and basically turns it into an Eli and Toomer bashfest.

This bodes very well for the Hawks. The only thing slower than Brian Russell is Amani Toomer

Amani Toomer is slow like I’m skinny. He may not be as fast as he was 5 years ago, but I think he has shown he can still get the motor going.

Oh and then he contradicts himself here:

Needless to say, the loss of Burress creates a cascade that weakens the Giants offense and improves Seattle’s matchups. It doesn’t, however, weaken New York’s still dominant defense.

So wait, one minute this defense is “still dominant”, but the next it “will soon show its softer side” and will “decline like the offense”? Which is it? Would you and the rest of the “12th Men” like to confer for a minute?

By the way, does anyone ever remember hearing about the “12th Man” when they played in the Kingdome? Funny how a few years of moderate success can get people talking about what devoted fans you have.

This is what happens when you live somewhere without enough sunshine, kids. It makes you say dumb things.

The link didn’t work, and BBV does not play well with the firewall and restrictions here at work, so I can’t even preview a post.

A thousand pardons, Giant fans, I live only to serve.

I disagree with what he’s saying for the most part, after watching the Giants, I think they’ll make the playoffs easily barring there is a major offensive injury.

I think it’s even lamer that you’re ripping into another SBNers post (of the opposing team) just because he isn’t going to bend over and just say the Giants are great. Don’t let that power rankings crap get into your head because it is all subjective.

It’s 1 opinion, no need to just bash it and calling it “dumb”.

Is all I can say.

Ah, come on boys, need a refresher course? The week leading up to a game both teams fans can have an equal shot at claiming glory. You don’t want Seahawk fans writing about how they are going to get crushed do you? (Maybe you do.)

John Morgan puts together a great blog. He analyzes tape, finds trends in stats, and consults a whole lot of PFW data. He is no dummy. He might come off as an over-confident homer in these pieces but I think his point is all is not lost, the Seahawks have a chance of winning if the GMen revert to the mean and the Seahawks D can stuff the run. Those are both very big IFs for the Seahawks so take it all with a grain of salt.

For me, I think the Giants will win by a decisive margin. However on any given Sunday you never know what could happen and I can dare to dream. I like these games against the GMen, I have several friends that are big Giants fans so its always a good time trading jabs. Instead of me texting them “get a new kicker” after 3 missed filed goals, I’ll most likely be getting a text saying “when does the 1st team show up?”

Later dudes.

You guys are defensive! C’mon, you just beat the Patriots in the Superbowl. Are you really going to get that worked up about some nerd from Seattle questioning your team?

You’re 3-0 and we’re 1-2. You’re playing at home. If the situations were reversed I would be very confident of a win at Qwest.

Frankly it makes me feel better about our chances. I think you all must not be as confident as you could be in your team.

I’m very interested to see his answers to your questions Ed
I have to imagine they’ll be a consistent once Mora Jr. is their coach.. hahaha (until he leaves for the huskies job)

I figured pointing out the ‘Field Gulls’ stuff would get you guys riled up. I guess I wasn’t wrong.

….I’ll take the legacy and the Super Bowls, thank you very much.

I will allow the Seahawks to pipe up when they’ve proven something/anything. Until then, this is all sort of just white noise.

For what its worth, the Seahawks retired the 12th man jersey in 1984. Sorry, its easy to ignore a team that’s been mediocre for most of its existence.

Here’s to you 12th Man!

Must have taken a wrong turn.

I seem to have stumbled into a pissing match.

;-)

You simply CAN NOT tell me this wasn’t expected.

i have to watch the birds this weekend (i wish they had sunday ticket here)

Breath in, breath out……….

make sure to wash your foot really well Sunday. It’ll taste better,Love Bob. (off the record though I could go for a couple af cold Raineers and dungees it’s been a while!)

is this the longest non-game day thread in BBV’s history? Who’da thunk it. I have to say, I read the comments over at Field Gulls, and I wasn’t too happy with the way they were talking about BBV, they seemed pretty condescending. The blogger over there said he wasn’t gonna answer your 5 questions, which seems kinda petty to me, especially for a blog that’s pretending to take the higher road. Oh well.

This game does worry me a bit: not b/c the Giants aren’t good, but b/c I think the Seahawks are better than people are giving them credit for. As others have mentioned, they’ve won the NFC West 5 straight years. Now, I know the West isn’t the NFC East, but it’s still impressive to win it 5 straight times. Hopefully the Giants don’t have another post-bye week let down. I’m hoping the Giants win and Jacobs runs for 200 yards just to rub it in, but I’m not over-confident.

Seattle @ NY Giants: Oh goody I finally have to do actual analysis for a Seahawks game instead of 8 word sentences on them crushing the Rams. Well, Seattle is getting healthier, the Giants are the opposite in the front 4. You cannot however, deny the amazing depth and youth they have with Justin Tuck and Jay Alford, and still have one of the best rushing defenses in the league despite losing Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan. I heard some Plaxico Burress guy got suspended for insubordination, and he is Eli Manning’s go-to-guy. This significantly changes both teams’ game plan, it is a positive for Seattle, but can they cover Eli’s other new security blanket in Steve Smith? Most of Manning’s 3rd down passes this year have gone to Smith and they have converted just about every time.

On the Seattle side, this is their test of how good their running game really is, after they ran over the 49ers and Rams, who have anything but good rushing defenses. I think they are for real however, Julius Jones runs with a purpose, Mo Morris seems to perform well as a backup, and TJ Duckett is very big. I think they are for real, and will perform well against the Giants, who let Chris Perry run by them on several occasions. I see a lot of audibles my Matt Hasselbeck, resulting in draws to Jones or Leonard Weaver while the G-Men bring a 7 man blitz. Speaking of Hasselbeck, your receivers in Deion Branch and Bobby Engram are back, and can actually catch the ball, so you better do well the next few weeks, you have gone from rags to riches in the receiving corp, so make use of them, and your new favorite target, John Carlson. Oh yeah, before I forget, I have to pick a winner. Er……Seattle can win this game, their defense has produced 2 poor games from Eli Manning in their 2 meetings at Qwest, and can produce another one at the Meadowlands (especially since Burress is not there), but I think the Giants are the more talented and better team overall, and will pull off the win. Also, Seattle folds like a lawn chair when playing a 1 PM game on the East Coast.

Giants 35 Seahawks 20

This thread just goes on and on … at least it has taken a friendly turn. :-)

I will say this much: I’m just happy that the GMen finally get a crack at the Seahwaks @ NYG. For a while there, it felt like NYG was traveling to Seattle for the game for years in a row. And kudos to the “12th Man” because they seem to make that a hostile environment for any opposing team. I wish that NYG had that kind of home field advantage, in fact, I will go so far as to say that it is probably one of the toughest places to play in the NFL.

But it will be nice to get this game in NJ. And, what’s even better, and the sole reason I give the edge to the Giants, is that Luke Petitgout is no longer our starting T (he has had some rough games @ Qwest).

It’s nice to have somewhat of a rivalry with a random NFC team. I like that.

One final note: I would gladly take an “L” in every regular season game to the Seahawks for eternity if it means more Super Bowl victories. And I would happily take “poor games from Eli Manning in…meetings at Qwest” if it translates into more Super Bowl MVP trophies….
