New York Giants news and notes: Big Blue still licking their wounds

D.D Brown, as in doo-doo

Plays on his initials and makes the most sense.

That said, if he gets burned badly again, I say roll the name. Maybe it was just “one of those weeks” (not likely since he looked bad in the pre-season too, mind you).

Ed……I don’t see how you’re saying Eli audibled to those deep plays, he’s talking about an in play read of the safety sitting down on the crossing patterns and him seeing a receiver streaking down the field. The way Eli described it doesn’t sound like an audible.

Man, Hixon is a very good returner but was it me that Hixon was thrown to alot this game and he barely had any catches..

Hixon should not be a receiver, maybe when we go 4 wides, but should not be the main guy to be thrown too..

come on manning..get your boy Steve Smith the ball..

Even if Kenny had played this game, i dont think we win. maybe the score is closer but if you leave a quality QB, untouched and all the time he wants to pick a part your secondary. somebody will get open.

Until we can rename him “Kilroy Brown”.

but I saw “Good grief, CC Brown!” on the FO Audibles page and I thought it was pretty funny.
I think he had about as much success trying to cover a Saint receiver Sunday as Charlie Brown did trying to kick that football on all those Peanuts strips. Plus that was pretty much everyone’s reaction after each play he was involved in.

Some funny comments too from Texans fans and other AFC South fans about CC’s “skills”.

"Welcome to the wonderful world of CC Brown…. I just know you and your fellow Giant fans are going to love it. He’s the ultimate football player – a cross between Deion Sanders and Jeremiah Trotter. Unfortunately, that’s because he tackles like Sanders and covers like Trotter. Of all the God-awful defensive backs that have (dis-)graced the Texans secondary over the past five years, Brown is by far the worst… "

“I have to admit that the joy I find myself feeling that someone other than Texans fans finally knows the rage and agonising terror that is the experience of rooting for a team that starts CC Brown … I spent three years, every week and every off-season, praying to read that he’d been cut and replaced by a practice squad player/street free agent/homeless heroin addict/blind quadriplegic grandmother…Please don’t bother trying to convince yourself that this week was some sort of aberation. He really, truly is that bad”

“I’m a Colts fan. I can assure you that C.C. Brown is always like this.”

This is just some random postings, but I always find the FO crowd to be pretty sharp overall. We love to praise Jerry, and overall he’s brilliant but I don’t think the CC signing will be hailed as one of his better moves.

is going to get abused. kurt warner is going to be in a world of pain

What can Brown do for you?

i get the "can’t cover “brown,but in honor of elvis”toast"patterson,how about this?c.c"3rd degree"brown!

The E-girls losing to Oakland was a worse defeat and will actually have a bigger impact as far as the division race goes. That should have been an easy one game pickup for them with the NYG loss. However…..

While we did get beat down and blown out. I feel there were quite a few near misses…….while we’ve all talked about the deep pass misses, how come nobody is talking about the Interception that Webster missed that resulted in Lance Moore’s first reception of the game that I believe gave the Saints a big 3rd down conversion. I think the game could have been different.

“That’s a first down Brown”…and “Gave up another Touchdown Brown”

If last Sunday is an indication, Brown has a LOT of improvement to do to be as good as the one we knew as Toast.

That we are calling out one guy when all ten others stunk..The whole defense stunk…I love the analogy about Brees having a coffee from one of the guys..Heck, he could have left to go thru the local McDonald’s drive-thru to get a Egg-McMuffin and come back in time to throw..He probably would have if not for the fact they stop selling them at 11am.

Can we please stop with the psychoanalyzing. The Giants got beat by the best team in the NFL. Point. Blank. Period. This is not the same Saints team of years past, this is a team that can play on BOTH sides of the ball. We knew going in that they were going to try and put up big numbers. For as good as the Giants defense is, we’re missing at least 4 starters on defense, you don’t go up against Playoff caliber teams missing 4 starters and think you’re going to blow them out. We would have been lucky to escape with a win this weekend, they were at home, they were coming off of a bye and they had two weeks to prepare for us.

The shots that Eli took down the field were shots that 30 quarterbacks in this league would have taken. When you have your man open on on one deep, you take that shot…on your first possession in the first quarter, how do you know your defense is NEVER going to stop them? Remember, Corey Webster SHOULD have had an interception on that first drive, ball hit him in the hands, that would have changed the momentum. With the play to Steve Smith, if Smith lays out for that ball, it’s a touchdown…you can tell Eli adjusted and put less air because on the previous possession the Cornerback was able to catch up and knock the ball away. Both plays were the right decision in my opinion, however they look bad because again, the defense didn’t stop them.

I’m sorry, but this loss goes to the Defense. Just like in the past we’ve had to put losses on the offense. But the Giants could have scored 45 points and STILL lost. Do ya’ll realize how BAD that is? The only team that scored enough points to beat the Saints this weekend was the New England Patriots.

Most folks say pre-season results don’t mean squat, and in some respects they’d be correct, but you can tell somethings about a team in the pre-season — bad habits being one. Bad habit I saw in the bears game (was there) no pressure on the QB, inability to cover RB’s catching passes out of the backfield, easily psyched out DB’s. I wrote about it too, but folks said I was just a pessimist. Nah. Just a Giants fan who doesn’t and refuses to, look at his team through anything less than an honest prism. The Giants one ‘real’ game before the Saints was against the dysfunctional, shit-coached Cowboys, a team that was begging the Giants to take the game away from them. Being a good, (though far from great team) the Giants did what they were supposed to do. Take away Eli’s semi-habitual moments of brilliance on the last drive — Giants lose the game to a team that happened to have the Gods rooting against them at the time. I love the Giants, have for forty years, but lets be real — this D is a major, major issue. The pass rush IS not what it was advertised to be and the DBs and LBs are easily deluded into mistaken complacency. Now, i will admit I was wrong about the WR’s in the pre-season. Smith, Manningham and Nicks are each special. But their are issues that can’t be overlooked on the defensive side that need major overhauling if we’re going to go anywhere beyond the first round in the playoffs, or even get there. Don’t count the Cowboys out. They are dangerous. So, what will I do this Sunday, seeing how I feel?
I’ll root for the Giants, cheer and curse and pound and kick and shout and send good vibes to the men in blue, just like I’ve been doing for 40 years, and always ready to exercise my fan’s right to criticize and moan after a loss, and gloat and honor after a win. I mean, it’s all vicarious triumph and loss after all, isn’t it then? Go Blue!

and unfortunatley, “Thong” (doesn’t cover much) was pinned to that ex-Dallas safety Roy Williams already (and that would be perfect for old CC).

I’ll go with “Bites”, since that’s what he did every time Brees went play action (and why Dockery never had the deep help he was expecting).

How about UPS because we should be shipping him off to somewhere else asking, “what can Brown do for you?”…..suck

Our OL and DL’s were not quit what they were last Sunday. Every play starts with these guys.
QB’s don’t have time if the OL isn’t there. Most opposing QB’s will have great day if the DL
didn’t show up.

Isn’t it something, When the Giants are kicking ass no one at the work place have anything to say, when they do lose a game, everyone line-up at the cube talking smack. I guess that’s what you deal with when your team hardly loses.
