NEW YORK GIANTS (2-0) GAME #3 CINCINNATI BENGALS (0-2)
Giants_icon_medium
VS. Bengals_icon_medium    

Date: September 21, 2008 Location: East Rutherford, NJ
Time: 1 p.m. EST
 Stadium: Giants Stadium
TV: CBS
 Radio: WFAN (660 AM)
Final Score: Giants 26, Bengals 23 (OT)

Here is your Open Thread for today's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. I will be in and out today, and will probably have to DVR the second half.

I don't know about you guys, but I am extremely nervous about this game. All the respect the Giants seem to be getting lately, the under-achieving Bengals being in town and the Giants history of making things harder on themselves than they have to be are part of that.

I hope I'm wrong. Remember, leave your browser open to the comments to follow along 'live blog' style.

Enjoy the game!

Lets Go Big Blue!

I also won’t be online. Damn Redskins are on at 1 again, so I’ll be heading to a bar to catch the game (then, unfortunately, am being forced to watch the Eagles/Steelers game with my Eagles fan friend). Go Giants & Steelers!

that guy

should have burned the jersey long before the Vikings game for being suckered into buying the red jersey…

How could any Giants fan

Ever do that? Oh wait, I know how, he was drunk.

If I was in the parking lot and saw that, I would have stopped it. You just don’t do that.

I’m with Garafolo on this one. Very curious why McDougle is not playing. He was solid last week.

Saw MG

on NFL Net this morning, talking about the Boss story, good stuff.

Could McDougle’s inactiveness be for disciplinary reasons?

the first preseason game for both teams

Why does the defense look so soft…?

by Woogie526 on Sep 21, 2008 1:56 PM EDT   0 recs

Dockery

Anyone else see him as the weakest link in the chain?

by ETVal on Sep 21, 2008 1:56 PM EDT   0 recs

he's a high risk

high reward guy. I still think Butler is the weak link

Giants fan from the womb to the tomb

by jrs1940 on Sep 21, 2008 1:57 PM EDT   0 recs

High risk, high reward?

So, where is the reward?

I almost vomitted when I saw that

by queler on Sep 21, 2008 3:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

E. Manning passed to S. Smith to the right for 13 yard loss

sorry i’m watching on gamecast and i need someone to explain that to me.

by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Sep 21, 2008 3:24 PM EDT   0 recs

check out the giants home page they’ve got the radio feed. i’ve got a direct link too if anyone needs it

by queler on Sep 21, 2008 3:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

it was a gain

by jrs1940 on Sep 21, 2008 3:26 PM EDT   0 recs

anyone know what the Red Zone TD/FG ratio this year is?

the Washington game wasn’t good, and the St. Louis game had multiple TDs of 20+ yards, and they’ve settled for two chippies today.

by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Sep 21, 2008 3:31 PM EDT   0 recs

this

is why the Giants are never double-digit favorites, no matter how bad the opponent. i hope Vegas learned their lesson today.

I'm getting nervous

Butler

is garbage

Giants fan from the womb to the tomb

by jrs1940 on Sep 21, 2008 3:43 PM EDT   0 recs

i propose that the Giants

play all road games, every game, every single year, playoffs and postseason.

there’s no team in the NFL that plays shittier on their homefield. inexcusable.

by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Sep 21, 2008 3:43 PM EDT   0 recs

papa

Bob Papa just called him out, said basically, how did he not swat that

by queler on Sep 21, 2008 3:44 PM EDT   0 recs

why doesn't anyone ever play-fake on first down

you think they won’t fall for it with the Beast in the backfield

by queler on Sep 21, 2008 3:52 PM EDT   0 recs

i dont feel like they've gone playaction

this year as much as they usually did in similar Red Zone situations in the past. usually that’s eli’s bread and butter.
