Got both TV's setup
Giants will be on the 55" the yanks will be on 32" on the side. :)
What are you saying
This setup is only temporary?
I would find a way to implement this into permanent! lol
I can't believe the dolphins
30 pts in the second half, 2 key dropped passes on the same drive, and interception, and stupid penalties. Just can’t believe it
That last drive was awful, Ted Ginn proved himself to be a bona-fide bust and a WR gets called for an illegal forward pass.
Henne looked decent, can't help that his receivers were dropping his balls
Do you think Henne can make it more than a year for the Dolphins?
The phins have something like 7 qbs in the last 4 years, and if theyget some stability there with their running game, they could be pretty good
I soooooo wanted to see the Saints fall on their @$$
but leave it to Miami to blow a lead like that and then let the saints scrore 43 points in the 2nd half. At least it might give teams a blueprint on how to play the Saints better.
Pay back is coming Saints
Must win for us tonight..
The Cowboys looked strong today, in all phases. Miles Austin is breaking out big time.
Bah
The only breaking Austin is doing is tackles(or lack of). If players would only understand the fundamentals of tackling, he would be merely average!
Please don’t diminish a man’s accomplishments.. If this/if that.. they didn’t and he made the plays. He did the same thing against the Chiefs. Lots of broken tackles. Not all luck.
He looked pretty good
If CC Brown only understood the fundamentals of pass coverage, Drew Brees wouldn’t have looked so good last week
Thoughts on Sanchez caught eating a hot dog on the sideline?
I thought it was bush league, personally

He’s not Babe Ruth, he’s a rookie QB whose team isn’t that good

Don't diss their D
Its one of the better, and their running game is pretty good. Sanchez still needs work obviously
all he needed was a beer then he'd be like babe

I'll be wearing my first jersey I just got for my Birthday
Steve Smith, #12.
Hopefully we win, otherwise I can never wear the jersey on gamedays again.
Can’t wait to show it off tomorrow (assuming we win, which WE WILL)
I think it's right on time
Smith didn’t do much last week, but I think he’ll be huge tonight. I want to see a Brandon Jacobs breakout also.

I didn't want to get a jersey everyone had
like eli or jacobs, and I think Smith’s going to be great for us
Which Johnson is out?
Hopefully not Michael, we can’t afford another safety injury.

Our DB's
Need to run their heads around and look for the ball once in a while man. Good defensive start with the takeaway but we need to get rolling on offense.
GO NY GIANTS!!
I want Jeff Feagles to punt forever
just sayin’. After forcing a punt, pinned ’Zona at the 16 and then we get the ball back.
nice
they look different already…the Saints might be just that good, they had a sick comeback today again…they are for real…we need this win today for sure. 8 players inactive for today. we some wins until the rest of the team gets off the injury list.
GO NY GIANTS!!
I take back what i said about Cromatarie
But why do they have hixon as WR?
That should have been Nicks
damn it
I bet you guys to win this game (and to cover the spread). How safe is my $?
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
that pick
was half great play by rodgers-cromartie, and half bad play by hixon. you gotta be able to go up and get that ball.
Hixon got no separation
and he does need to fight better.

They look better
the defense looks completely different this week. The DB’s are playing OK but they are benefitting from us getting pressure up front. We need them to hold it together the whole game. there were some close calls there the refs could have called on us already.
GO NY GIANTS!!
I hate how
they keep saying the giants had the best defense in the NFL going in to last week. Yardage wise, they STILL have the best defense in the NFL
Good game so far
Pretty competitive thus far. Of course I would like us to be up 21-0 by now but it’s a nice back and forth so far. Defense will win this game for certain.
GO NY GIANTS!!
Naw if this was Giants football then they would have settled for a FG.

is playing pretty good for a rookie this year. I hope McKenzie heals up quickly though.

Hey
arent they honoring the 1986 Giants team tonight? That would be a little extra spice on the night.
GO NY GIANTS!!

I know that’s not really his fault, but one of those two needs to have some awareness. That was a lucky break

at least Eli has matured to the point where he doesnt throw it up…he takes the sacks when he is supposed to

Yup, another not to be mentioned New York QB would have put the ball on the ground in that situation.

ack! More Plaxico talk
I love how Collinsworth said 6’4’ Plaxico would’ve had a play on the ball to Hixon. REALLY? Plaxico>Hixon?! I coulda told you that.
Dumb Question
Can we rip Fitzgerald down by his hair if we had to? Would that be a penalty lol?

Eli is getting
a little bit of pressure on him tonight, they are stacking the right side where McKenzie is absent from.

May God watch over you wherever you are now and may you be in a better place. We will never forget you!
That was an amazing fluke
bad, bad throw by Eli, but what a great heads-up play by Nicks. Harvin is having a good year as well, but I said it in April and I’ll say it again, I think we came out on top in the WR derby this year.

HALFTIME
very good game so far. The defense looks great. The offense is moving along nicely. Eli Manning has manned up and is playing through the pain. I like what I am seeing so far.
GO NY GIANTS!!
in spite of the turnovers...
…there have still been a few pass plays that have yielded large chunks of yardage. Warner has over 150, on pace for 300+…but most importantly, no TDs.

knock out
was out all day in the hot sun in south florida rooting against the saints at dolphins (landshark) stadium and just hoping the giants to blow the cardinals out so i can get some much needed rest.
I'll obviously take the lead, but this has not been a signature game so far
defense came out fired up, but there are obviously still deficiencies in the coverage responsibilities. We have been seriously lucky a couple of times, we need to come out and stick a serious drive together here.

Biggest difference I see between defenses
their safety play. Wilson has been awesome. Besides jumping around pre-snap he’s making plays all over the field. Our safeties stand in a zone and watch guys catch balls in front of them.
