Giants vs. Panthers, Open Thread

or just a typo?

Was laid by Brett Favre

are proving how worthless “momentum” is. It’s a made-up word in this sport, IMO. And it’s exactly why I’m confident that the Giants will be playing a game in Tampa Bay in a few weeks, regardless of the last 2 games.

Is more prevalent in sports like hockey and baseball, where you play every day or every other day.

Westbrook just limped off, what a surprise

nice drop DeSean.

Has fullback hands

you couldnt pay me enough to take one of those over the middle hits from Landry, that dude is brutal

next week now means everything to the Vikes

could the last 24 hours have gone any better?

Cowboys implode, lose.
Atlanta wins at Minny.
Eagles lose to a lifeless Redskins team.
and the cherry on top, the Jets score 3 points against the putrid Seahawks.

Only one thing left to put the cherry on top….

Giants 24

Panthers 17

that was shades of the Titans-Rams Super Bowl, losing the game on a last second tackle at the 1 yard line. That’s 2 games this season for the Eagles that have ended at the 1. Ouch…

Thank you, Atlanta. Now I just want to see the Giants play really well tonight.

RB Brandon Jacobs (knee), WR Domenik Hixon (foot/ankle) and DT Fred Robbins (shoulder) are active and will start tonight for the Giants.

Eagles are still technically alive, so they have a reason to play Dallas tough next week. And Tampa plays Oakland, I believe, so they should win. If Tampa and Philly both win, Tampa makes the playoffs, and Eagles, Cowboys, and Redskins all get to watch us defend our title from home.

37 comments and no one mentioned my headline typo — which I have now fixed. LOL!!

Giants only have 4 WR’s active tonight, and one of them is “Wrong Way” Manningham. I’d expect to see alot of Bradshaw lined up as a wideout, if weather permits the Giants to try and spread the field.

being interview by Tiki, “I just had Popeyes so I weigh 265 now”

aka nobody loves you like the first team that drafted you." – Tiki Barber

does that mean Tiki is an orphan?

that’s the first time I’ve seen him say anything resembling a desire to have played on the Super Bowl team. You know it must kill him…

hate the Geico caveman commercials as much as I do? The first one was really good, but now they’re so stupid, and they really don’t even make sense anymore!

35 degrees, wind chill of 25, winds gusting to 20 MPH, temp is expected to drop rapidly, and the wind will pick up. Temps for the 2nd half will be in the Mid 20’s

75 degrees, windows are open, light breeze off the Atlantic

Made them last week, Giants lost, I figured the string was broken. Plus, budgetary and time constraints prevented it this week, its not a cheap meal.

That Philly can get into the playoffs by going 2-4 in their own division

with a head of steam, Jacobs could’ve run for a long time there.

that play remind you of anything?!?! Awesome

is never allowed to retire. That’s a fabulous hold.

they looked more in sync on that drive than they have in 3 weeks

what having Jacobs back just does to them psychologically

that’s a compliment to either of us, LMAO!

talk about a guy finally realizing his talent.

why is Hedgecock playing for the Panthers?

that the Panthers have two players in their starting lineup that went to Utah, but their tackle named Otah went to Pitt?

I’ve had nightmares about those ever since the 2006 playoff game. Ugh.

illustrates what Robbins means to this D.

It’s STEVE SMITH. Why is he alone on an island out there? WHY?

The one guy in that receiving corp that you need to cover tightly.

Ugly ugly ugly

terrible start for the defense.

has that happened 3 weeks in a row?!?!!! Up the f’in middle!

the last few weeks. Are we sure he wasn’t the one who got shot in the leg?

but why was McKenzie trying to wrap him up?

Brandon Jacobs is easily the biggest X Factor on this team.

is looking good. At least we can exhale there.

That baby has no business being out at a football game in that cold weather

Sorry, I’m a Dad first, giant fan second, LOL

1st down.

great coach. i could see Spags being successful like Fox once he moves up to an HC position.

Jacobs is back, and all of a sudden DW is running better too

especially on 3rd down. But when it goes for 10 yards, I’ll take it…

this worries me

that’s more like it.

welcome back BJ. God, I missed him.

A stop on the next Carolina drive would be a big bump to the momentum.

Eli was barely even touched

is gonna be starting off with real good field position in the pro bowl with Carney kicking off

Robbins and Pierce…

I noticed during the Cowboy game last night how much I like that the NFL network doesn’t go to commercial after every dead ball. I loved the fact that they stayed with the game after the kickoffs.

not very Spag-like.

out of the backfield, oh this is ugly

that doesn’t bode well…

are they deciding not to call holds in this game? i saw at least four on that cutback by DeAngelo.

on who ever was blocking Aaron Ross

where is webster?

4-5, 71 yds.
unacceptable.

he’s a midget, he celebrates too much, and he’s freaking awesome at football.

If we can’t, forget about tonight. It will be a quick playoff exit.

as to why Hedgecock doesnt carry the ball

GIVE THE BALL TO HEDGECOCK? (slams head into wall)

and DWard looks good too.

Third down and 1.. hmmm… You know what? Fuck it. Give it to Hedgecock…

Seriously?

because otherwise this defense would be driving me crazy.

‘06 vs. the Bears, ’06 vs. the Eagles, ’07 vs. the Cowboys… when’s the last time this team won a big game at home? 2000?

he was down

Is Carolina going to run the EXACT SAME PLAY and the Giants don’t read it?

but hey, why not?

who has gagged & dragged our D away from us? where have they gone the last few weeks and how do we fix? I have no clue right now & neither do they.

But this defense has now gotten pushed around three weeks in a row. You can’t win a Super Bowl when you can’t get stops.

Fantasy monster (noun) = 1) a player that is absolutely ridiculous in fantasy football; 2) see Williams, DeAngelo.

how is that not PI? you have to be kidding me.

Pass interference? Held his arm?

on either team?

should’ve been 1st and 10 at the CAR 45 with the blatant pass interference and instead a sack puts it at 3rd and long at the NYG 40.

down three scores

maybe it’s better to not have homefield.

if the defense can stop the bleeding, they’ll have a chance. i think the offense and the blocking up front have been good so far, but the D isn’t giving them a chance.

the way they play at Giants Stadium late in the season in the Eli era, I’d almost be ok with a loss tonight.

is that we can’t go into the playoffs playing this badly. The team needs some kind of confidence and momentum or it’ll be over quick.

where a corner can jump on you and grab you when you’re trying to make a catch. It’s a good change to the game…more exciting that way.

That was pick 6!!!

have the worst hands in football

The worst thing about it is watching how they played just 3 or 4 weeks ago and I cant believe we are looking at the same team.

Carolina is definitely a good team, but they have just embarrassed us so far at home. Delhomme is not that good, but good enough to destroy us at home like this.

and I swear ig Hedgecock ever gets in on 3rd and 1 again, I am going to puke, wrap it up for Gilbride and Fedex to him. (I was Tivoing and just caught up).

SO CATCH THE DAMN BALL!!!

huge run!

since I let my girlfriend throw a reverse pass in a flag football game

to learn not to throw into quad-drouple coverage in the middle of the field.

he couldnt even see where it was going????

I hate to say it, but I don’t know if this offense can score in the red zone without Plax. Eli can’t make plays down there without just lobbing it in the corner.

down by a score at the half

It will be ok

We can move the ball, and we need to stay close enough that we can continue to run the ball. But, geesh, I’m worried about this defense.

have there been two worse playoff teams in NFL history? Cards have given up 1,000,000 points over the past month and Denver lost to a pathetic and lifeless Bills team at home with a chance to clinch.

is painfully annoying, has there ever been a collection of more pompous asses?

Our DBs have the worst hands in Football is right. The cannot keep their hands on the ball.

/ feelin’ optimistic

19th in the NFL entering this week (2 trips: TD, FG).

61 trips, 31 TD, 24 FG = 50.8% TD pct.

as a refernece point, the Colts (a dominant Red Zone team for years) have converted 70% of their Red Zone opportunities into touchdowns…and that’s with the 31st rated rush offense in the league.

when I finally came up with a good name for the jets giants super bowl.. The Swamp Bowl. I can’t wait to hear Frensecha lose his mind

they’re really just going to let the Panthers DBs go crazy tonight, eh? this is unbelievable. i can’t believe what i’m seeing.

this crew calls the least penalties in the league

no flags today.

apparently you haven’t been watching this game if you think that warrants a flag…

I was going to fly into JFK and burn Giants Stadium down.

Awesome signature….Cousin Eddie

Jeez, how do they continue to let that happen.

where it’s impossible to actually commit a penalty, would Eli Manning find a way.

i tip my cap to him.

just curious

HOLY CRAP
