New York Giants Notes: Afternoon Reading Material

Quinn with Bomar?

didnt lose anybody major to injury this game for once….or so we know

I was at my kid’s swim meet and didn’t see the game. I recorded it on my DVR and erased it once I heard about how much of a debacle it was. I don’t want to know what happened. As far as I am concerned-it didn’t.

Bottom line-the G-men are 9-5 and will probably wind up 10-6 or 11-5 (I thought 7-9 when Nicks went down) and in the wild card. That’s not a bad year for a team that lost most of it’s WRs and most of it’s OL for a good part of the year.

Yes the Eagle will probably wind up in first if their injuries on D don’t cripple them (Graham, Bradley, Allen, etc…) but Vick is playing on another level just like Fitzgerald did for Arizona a few years back.

The Eagles didn’t quit when they were down by 3 TDs and the G-men won’t quit now. Let’s see if Philly can beat us three times in 1 year despite us dominating them both times (I still think JPP jumping offside cost us the first game). The G-men were one average play away from winning both games.

It’s easy for me to say, but let’s not get too low when we lose or too high when we win.

I got the message too late to call him back, but we had a great conversation..His message was brief: “Bobbie, it’s Blue Gonz..worst loss ever”..So I called him back this morning and we spoke for quite a bit..Great guy..He is an encyclopedia on Giants history..I know alot over the past 40 years, but he goes back even farther..We lamented over the game at length, and then basically agreed that we’re used to this..It is not something that hasn’t never happened before and it’s easier to get over with and move forward..I felt privileged to get a call from him..We also had a few reminiscent laughs..He is a very smart man..and he knows the history of the Giants..I can’t wait to meet him in person..he lives right up the road 60 miles North..It tells you something when a long-time fan calls you about something like this ‘thing’ that ocurred yesterday..not exactly the introductory call I was hoping for but it was a fun conversation..and as a long-time fan, I am not giving up an inch of hope..We are still in the chase..He laughed when I told him I got banned for a night due to the responses I fed the trolls..and said he wasn’t surprised after reading my comments..He asked me how you get banned, and I said I guess you just have to write stuff like I do on occasion!haha..Anyway, both of us agreed that all is not lost..We’ve seen this happen before..and with the talent we have, the story may very well have a happy ending..We never had the luxury of talent to bank on..that we do now..When Blue_Gonz posts something, I listen..

The worst depressing thought is no more Bomar jokes.

And there goes our utility man!

Thx. I’m still trying to process my emotions over this loss.

…who will replace the irreplaceable Bomar on the practice squad now at QB now?

Apologies to anyone I may have offended with anything i wrote earlier

I don’t

It’s the crucial that either causes a team to be reformed as a winner more determined than ever or they totally wither and die.

I’m hoping it propels them and the coaches to a more hardened aggressive take no prisoners Giants.

If not, then we will know by seasons end that changes have to be made.

rolle is a good player. they stopped blitzing him and tried the great aaaron ross and others. they tried to outsmart the eagles. rolle is a good not great player but a real good blitzer.

the d coordinator tried to have a masterpiece instead of just a win.

this was a collective implosion.. coughlin no hands team, ferrel having tuck in coverage etc. the offense going to sleep, dodge being doge and the onside kick.

team implosion of the highest order but I like rollle he is so much better then Ross it is scary…..

the worst loss is still the san francisco meltdown. it was over after that. it is far from over now. if anything, this reminds me more of the loss against the vikings in 07. i remember saying to my friend then, they are not even good at being mediocre. well this team is not mediocre. they have a vicious self destruct button that has not YET killed them. if they get in to the playoffs, they are going to beat philly and go to the show….

you heard it here first.. i think.

how can eagles be #2 if they have identical record as bears and lost heads up? the packers are outside looking in

is your name really fire fewell? did you lose a bet?

whatever. as i mentioned. the outcome of this season will be very binary. either deep run or no playoffs.

but in that “I wanna play these douchebags again” way. Twice the Giants handed the game to Philly, Philly didn’t win it. The Giants defense can harass Vick into mistakes and we can pressure him like nobody else. All I kept saying to myself was “I wanna play them a 3rd time like we did Dallas.” With the 6th seed I have no worries about facing the Bears as they can’t score on us. And Atlanta?? No defense and an overrated offense. After we beat GB and get in and then knock Grossman out, we will go into the playoffs with confidence like we did when we won the Superbowl.

Vikes must like him, 5th QB on roster.

This is the NFL you should be able to cover punts. Everyone blames Dodge not Quinn. This is his third year and STs have gotten rapidly worse since he replaced Sweatman. Yes a 40 year old 35 yard out of bounds punter is needed with him as coach.

There’s a great article on Yahoo this morning about Coughlin handling the loss. Talks about how Eli wanted to address the team before the coach did, and how they’re dealing with moving on. It also talks about how the Giants always do things the hard way. I’ve always felt that way, but thought it was more because I was a fan than actual reality. It’s good to see it from a non-biased source.

Should be another great game in the tundra!
