I was watching the highlights from the last Super Bowl last night – and re. the pass play on the Helmet Catch: watch that again. Eli throws a wounded duck. I mean that thing is a serious wobbler. So, I guess my point is, he doesn’t need to throw the best looking ball: he just needs to put it on the money. I keep thinking back to that first pass to Steve Smith where it glanced off of his fingertips. Ugh. I’m still so mad.

Anyway, the other thought I had was this: everyone compared the Gmen last yr to the Patriots when they beat the Rams. Well, the next yr the Pats didn’t make it to the Super Bowl (which was the yr. the Bucs beat the Raiders): yet they won the next two SB’s (over Carolina and Philly) to start their dynasty years. Point is: this team will be back; and will be that much more focused next year. The team won’t be so unlucky with injuries and will catch more breaks with the schedule.

Point is: they will be back. Simple as that.

good to see plax’ actual teammates arent so sniveling.

shaun o’hara is a scarlet knight and a great man.

I’m actually happy to hear the Giants players willing to forgive, though not forget, a person who is for now a teammate. Had they thrown Plaxico under the bus and subtly blamed him for their recent loss, I would have had less respect for the players left behind.

Made many big plays, has lots of talent but…too much ego. Pouts when he doesn’t get his way, can’t be bothered to run every route, consumed with himself. And in my opinion, most importantly will never stay out of trouble. We’ve already paid the price for his departure this year . Let’s not start the whole mess over again next year.

The Giants can’t just give lip service to keeping the high standards we are all so proud to point at.. Let him go.

There are several issues the Giants have to consider, not the least of which are the contractual / salary cap issues.

Let’s say for a second that he is cleared of all charges. Can the Giants NOT take him back without ending up with a huge salary cap problem? If they were to say now, “well, even if he clears all the legal hurdles, we don’t want him back” they are open to all sorts of potential lawsuits.

Let it play out. Don’t take any action before June (again salary cap issues)

you just have to do what you know is right and I think this is one of those times. You can’t let the possible salary cap consequenses be the deciding issue here. It’s Plaxico and his likely potential to cause trouble again. I see no remorse in the guy. He just seems to me to be the kind of guy we need to avoid unless we want to compromise the high standards we all said we support. Otherwise we are no better than the Bengals or the Cowboys.

The lawyers will figure out the details.

Is starting to have a T.O.-like effect on the Giants. You can’t let his talent as a receiver get in the way of what’s more important, team cohesiveness and chemistry. There are other receivers out there, Jerry Reese will find the one right for this team. I also believe Hixon will get better, you know he’s mad at himself for dropping key passes against the Eagles— in our past two games against them. Ugh this past game. Why didn’t we run the ball, why didn’t we run any draws, why no slants, why give the ball to Eli for a sneak on 4th and 1 when we have a bulldozer of a runningback…. uuuuuuurggggghhhhhhh. I can’t wait for next season, though.
