Sunday gives Giants fans half of what we wanted

on this subject, ‘57. There’s a great deal of merit in your argument. I already responded in your Fan Post.

but I have nothing against the Jets (might be my not being from NY/NJ playing into things). The Jets went out there and did what they had to do, and bled the clock with the running game, so good on them, even if most of us want them to disappear.

As a Yankees and Giants fan I don’t understand the animosity towards the Jets and Mets fans. Sure, they whine a bit, but they root for such terrible franchises it gives them a right to whine a little. The Jets and Mets are like dumb kid brothers that can never do anything right. Let the Jets have some success. I’m sure they’ll end up blowing it somehow. And Ed, I have to disagree with you about listening to Mike Francesa, the guy gives an educated, well thought opinion. He’s a lot better than that idiot Carton they have in the morning…

The Boys humiliated. Peyton will talke care of the Jets.

The real question after yesterday in Minny, is do we want Wade back or not ? I’m conflicted, as there is always great satisfaction when there is turmoil in a division rival’s staff/roster, but the status quo may be better for next year for us. It’s often addition by substraction (think Dallas getting rid of T.O., Pacman, Tank, etc. last year).

I agree with Aceholioo. Are Giant fans so un-gracious that they can’t root for the Jets? Are they afraid of the Jets taunting? It sounds like the Cowboys whining after Brett throw that last touchdown pass. Dallas lost fair and square and all they can do is complain. The Jets played better than the Giants this year. Root for the giant stadium.

… Growing up in the early 80s, the Island was majority Jets country. Still living off of Joe Willie’s memory, and believing Richard Todd was taking them to the promised land. Giants were the basement team, 81 discounted, 82 and 83 supposedly giving proof to the belief that the Giant would never win anything, were ugly and worthless and the Jets were the sexy beasts of the east coast. In short, I effen hated the Jets. But now… older, mellower, wiser (I hope) and I have to give props where props are due. The Jets are closer to what we desire and thought the Giants would be than the Giants are. The Jets deserve the support of NY fans. They’ are miles above us defensively, and it’s not the schemes (mostly) it’s the players. I agree with a previous post and have been saying it for 8 months now. The Giants do not have a very good defense. We need better players. And until then, we will not be as good as the other NY team. Hate the Jets all you want. At this moment, and things can, of course, change, the Jets have a better future than our Giants. They’re younger, hungrier, more enthusiastic. Can we get three shots of that for our coffee before next season? Hmmmmm. Hope so. Or we will be looking up at that annoying Fireman hat guy for some time.

I am all in favor of the Jets’ success. It puts pressure on the Giants to stay as the top dog in the NYC area.

Their coach has a plan and the players have executed it with glee. While all the other teams are playing Daryl Lamonica vs. John Hadl bombfest, the Jets are playing ball control, defense and have DBs that actually cover receivers. From wathcing the Giants’ DBs, I thought DBs were no longer allowed to cover receivers—some kind of rule change I missed.

I think the Jets could surprise the Colts. Maybe the Jets can see what the Ravens did wrong. The Jets are the Ravens North.

And how could you not like the jets, they remain you what the giantgs use to be about… Solid D, strong run game, smart QB play and great coaching! After wasting a ton of money on giants tickets to watch their D unable to stop a cold… It feels good to see another New Jersey Team show the world Defense wins championships.

an offseason free of the rivers > eli rhetoric that would’ve resulted from the chargers making it to the superbowl.

1 – Much as I dislike the Cowboys, I did think it was disrespectful and classless of the Vikings to go for a touchdown when they were up 27-3 with less than two minutes to go. A kneeldown, giving the ball back to the Cowboys, would have maintained the illusion of respect and would have been a much more forceful statement of the Vikings’ superiority.
2 – Whether you like the Jets or not, it is most interesting to see what Rex Ryan has been able to do with a team that went nowhere under Mangini. Coaching does matter! It also makes me wonder why Holmgren is keeping Mangini in Cleveland.

The guy is good for football. He’s honest, funny, confident in his team, and his players love him. He’s a bit of a loudmouth, but that’s nothing new in the football world…As far as Minn scoring late, what are they supposed to do? Kick a field goal? Just give Dallas the ball? This is the NFL, two W’s removed from a Super Bowl. Man up and stop them. Football isn’t a sport to worry about hurting someone’s feelings; it’s a sport that simulates a battle for land. All’s fair in love and war…

as a giant fan for 55 years it irks me to see the jet defense do everything the giant defense doen’t do. jets tackle, put great pressure on quarterback, hold completed passes to minimum gain after catch. the list goes on. the more i see the jets, the angrier i become at coughlin, sheridan and the pathetic defensive unit. i have never witnessed a team deterioerate so quickly. in the 3rd and 4th games against helpless teams they couldn’t come up with one sack. losing five games by twenty or more points. i hope reese keeps coughlin on a short leash. he can’t motivate them any more. reese must make money available in free agency to rebuild that defense. most of the time the pass rushers never got within a zip code of the quarterback.

I guarantee you that Gruden leaves Broadcasting to take the San Diego job.

It’s so much like the Tampa situation that I see it as a given at this point.

I’m not sure why everyone is so surprised at SD losing to the Jets. SD hasn’t blown out anyone this year and barely beat the Giants with our ridiculous pass coverage. Why did we think they could put up 20pts against the best defense.

If I’m SD – I let Ladanian go ASAP as he is always hurt or comes up short in the big games. A big time Mr. September.

JETS – Why are we so mad at them? Because they are in the playoffs winning or that they play the kind of ball we wish we did in Giant land. I’ll be rooting for them rather than the Colts this weekend. I don’t dislike Peyton and Co. but rather I love hard nosed, attack defense, running the ball down your throat football. That is why I became a Giatns fan back in ’84.

I just get the feeling that Minnesota is going to come up short this weekend.

the giants have as much talent as the jets. what they don’t have are inspirational coachs. coughlin looks confused and bewildered. losing five games by twenty or more points should be a red flag to reese and giant owners. as for fransesca, i can’t watch him anymore. he has fallen hopelessly in love with himself. he talks down to people who disagree with him. even though dog was not a yankee fan at least he was polite and respectful of those who called in. again his arrogance has lost me fore ever.

of Jerry Jones firing Wade and promoting that Off Coordinator. That defense will crumble and they’ll start to pass the ball more and ignore the 3 stellar RB’s they have.

But i wanted the Chargers to lose, Everyday me and my friend(both from New York) argue who is better the Giants or Charger then that escalates to who is better Philip Rivers or Eli Manning. And one of my points is that Philip River doesn’t have a Ring nor Super Bowl MVP.

Their fans aren’t allowed to be happy for once in their miserable lives? I don’t see how any Giants fan would waste any time rooting against a team that is almost completely irrelevant to us.

There’s no rivalry with the Jets. None.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the Jets in the Super Bowl.
 Give the Giants front office a real good kick in the ass. WAKE UP..

I was not pleased to see the NFC East Flame-out especially in the fashion that Cowboys did it 3 lousy points against an ’ol Fart with an arm…I was extremely happy to see the Jets win for one reason and one reason only..with Favre and Rex Ryan winning, I know for a fact that when I walk into a goddamn Wallgreens or CVS there will be a full stock of Kleenex there..It is a total bitch getting Kleenex when Rex loses and Favre retires.

Hey Hey all us Giants fans , thank god that mess of a season is over . I know we all hate the Cowgirls and that other team down the road . BUT ! I think we have to be greatful for what the cowgirls gave us last week against the Vikings , The word is . CRUSHED … got to love that word …CRUSHED …can almost use it anytime Dallas CRUSHEDboys were CRUSHED by the Viks . How many time did Homo get sacked ..ooops CRUSHED …Holy CRUSH the Viks got him again . And lets not froget JJ face after the game ..Yep you got it ..He looked CRUSHED …WOW I love the sound of the ..Giant fan for life

WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR ALL GIANTS FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its was amusing and wonderful to see Romo become Romo again. Classless Jerry, Wade the Befuddled and the whole confused staff got what they deserved, a true butt kicking!!!!. The Jets on the other hand have a real shot at beating the Colts if they play the same intense game. No they cant “blitz” with certainty but they will probably play 5 down 1 lb and 5 dbs the whole way. I will raise a beer to them all the way through.
