Lets go Blue!
As inconsitant as Manningham has been it hurts he’s not playing. I just don’t think Hixon can make plays against these corners, he lacks the quickness, agility, and elusivness that Mario has. And he’ll probabbly get most of the snaps today instead of Nicks.
One more thing
the Giants better not take Hixon off of the return teams because he’s starting this week. That just seems like something they would do.
Alright Giants!
Key, key game here. 3 game losing streaks aren’t the death of a season, but it’s better not to have them!
I really hope that Boss finds his way in the game today...
maybe not a 8 catch 100yd 2TD breakout thing we all know he could do. I’d like to see him in the end zone a few times tho, and at least make about 4 catches.
As a side note….been a while since I’ve been really into a Giants game. AZ last week a little bit, but the Yanks were more of a priority.
Before that, was the Dallas game that really seemed like a good fight by the Gints.
Lets do this today.
DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like both.
Maybe even a Darcey Johnson sighting?

A win is a win
But I’d like to put away the whole “Giants are overrated talk” too. Having a 3-0 win won’t really help with that.
"We're only going to score 17 points?"
Time to...
…step up and make big plays.

It is rather familiar
Remember Jackson in the play-offs last year? Quick TD and the Giants were playing from behhind the whole game.
there's Jacobs
bulling through people, as he should.

Nice run by BJ after intial contact on 1st down
an encouraging sign…

AWFUL START
Have to hold em to a FG here, or we better have some good offense today
"We're only going to score 17 points?"
Can they call that a Takeaway?
He really gave it away.
Nice D C-Web
The Redskins don’t have anyone like that on their team….
DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I may be out of here right soon
I am not torturing myself to another New Orleans like beatdown.
Fire Tom Coughlin
This is a what have done for me lately league, and its time for him to go. A lot of great guys available after this season. Shanahan, Gruden, Holmgren, etc.
You JUST joined to post this
Literally less than 3 minutes after you join, you lead with this?
While I don’t believe TC should be fired. he needs to be held accountable for his continued support of Gilbride as the O coordinator. His play calling is an absolute disgrace. In 8 games I can only recall one pass on first down when the Giants reach the red zone. It’s always the same. A running play to Jacobs. The under-utilization of Boss is a joke. It seems when Boss makes a catch it’s a big play.
Sheridan has been badly out-coached the last 3 weeks. A huge mistake by TC not aggressively pursuing Dom Capers.
blocked PAT!
Something went right for us! First time in three weeks!
by long time listener on Nov 1, 2009 1:15 PM EST reply actions
Blocked XP
so we can have a repeat of the 48-27 score from NAWLINS and everything. Scary but possible with what we have seen so far.
No.
Webster is excellent.
The team is really missing Boley right now, he’s be blanketing Celek on that play.
CC Brown sucks in coverage, Michael Johnson has to cover too much of the field cuz of it, but he doesn’t suck.
DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats wrong with this team?
We look so pathetic…it’s hard to watch…

You're on crack
The injuries haven’t lead to Eli’s garbage play. And I didn’t hear you mention the injuries when we were crushing teams on to a 5-0 record.
Please don’t use injuries as an excuse.
yes i did
i have been talking about the injuries catching up to us all year…it doesnt take a genius to see the first 5 teams sucked that we played
GO NY GIANTS!!
BS
Injuries aren’t an excuse. Each and every team has injuries. These are supposed to be NFL players. AP was terrible last year. He’s old and slow. The Giants D tackles get pushed around. They are not getting the penetration they got in the SB.
Antonio Pierce
Decimates this team, we need a new defensive leader. One that can actually produce
DB

giants d-line
sucks, they are a bunch of muts right now. This game is over now Eli will be throwing deep all game. Osi absouloutley sinks he’s a liability on the field. Takes himself out of every play. Watch him on the bottom of the scree he just runs wide and does nothing.
by Landeta on Nov 1, 2009 1:20 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Osi sells out
He plays with no discipline. No containment. He only plays for the sack. He’s no match for the better left tackles. The rest of his game is average at best.
Eli blows.
Most overpaid player in NFL history

No offense
but you use injuries as an excuse for everyone and everything. Again,this is the NFL. Every team has injuries and players playing through injuries.
Everyone needs to settle down!
Including the Giants. Chill out and regroup man. They have to know what is and isnt working by now. I agree the start sucks but lets see what happens.
GO NY GIANTS!!
You say that..

Even if they were undefeated right now it wouldn’t make a difference.
DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry...
I’d feel a lot better if this team was 8-0 as opposed to 5-3, and losing to every team that has half an offense…but you’re right, and I"m just pissed as fuck.

Weak secondary
When you have a receiver on the blind side and momentum on your side, you HAVE to take hime down.
why did they have to mention Brett Farve?
I hate Farve, but more than that, I hate the media that can’t stop talking about him. All week long they were calling Vikings-Packers the game of the year. Fox: NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS GAME. The only way I’d watch is if you guarantee that Farve breaks both legs and they have non-stop coverage of media-types crying about it.

Johnston shows his genius again.
He doesn’t know what is wrong with our defense. Gee, why do they pay your dumb ass to be on TV again? Half the defense is out with injury and the other half is being “guided” by Bill Sheridan. Take a wild guess what’s wrong with the D, Darryl.

Why is Barden still inactive if Manningham is?
Let the big man get some plays in.
P.S.—Those who might still want James Butler over C.C. Brown, he just intercepted a Stafford pass in the end zone, ran it out, and then stepped back and was tackled for a safety.
What has Brown done lately?
Other than watch WR catch balls.
Brown is so bad
it has me yearning for the return of Butler.
Manning looks absolutely terrible
Might be time to try a no-huddle. That usually seems to settle him down.
