Same here.
It’s PS, I don’t care about the result I just want see everyone healthy out there.
the casualty report
from this week’s games are already starting to pile up…colt mcoy, larry fitzgerald, ryan grant. some big names getting hurt for absolutely no reason.
i know the argument is “nothing can prevent a player from getting hurt, whether its pre-season or regular”
but come on, there’s literally no reason for the stars and first stringers for be out there for even one possession and take the risks for games that mean nothing.
While i really wanted to vote for the Gilbride, Rex option
I care more about having our guys be healthy and uninjured
No one get hurt
but I hope Rex gets hit in the head with a football and Gilbride says “Ha HA!” like Nelson
I wish I could care about the Jets
as much as everyone seems to pretend Giants fans are supposed to.
But I really don’t. I’ve never considered them to be a rival team even though the NY press seems determined to manufacture a rivalry to sell papers.
The Giants have been to 4 Super Bowls since 1986 and won 3 of them. The Jets have 1 SB in 1969. There’s no juice to this “rivalry” at all for me.
Get out of the game with your roster healthy and intact. I could not possibly care less about Rex Ryan and the “gettem next year” Jets.

I want to see
the Offensive Line and how they perform…..I hope they have a little bit of their attitude, swagger whatever you want to call it…..
I want a return to 08 with the running game and it starts with the Offensive Line
I believe that era is gone
it’s time to use Eli and the WR’s in a major passing assault. Should we give up the run? Hell no, we still need 4 YPC
I really want to see
Rex Ryan punch Kevin Gilbride

No injuries is more important
the list on our team from just training camp is already long and rediculous lets not add on to that.
No injuries is ALL that I care about.
As much as the trash talk is starting to bother me, if the Jets believe that this is what they have to do to build their confidence then so be it. I have enough confidence in the Giants ability to get the job done so a win or a loss this Monday will not sway my thinking. As long as all of our key players escape without harm than that will be the win or loss as far as I am concerned.

I'm a little concerned
with O’hara not 100% and Snee out. I don’t want to see the Jets blowing up the A gap and hitting Eli
No legitimate Giants fan would want to see that.
But what can we do. O’Hara is our best Center even if he is not 100%. Snee can share his experience with his likely replacement. This is the prime time for Eli to fully come in to his own. Thats what is is getting the big bucks and all the credit for. So lets see if he is up to the task.

I guess
what I’m saying is I hope Rex understands this is preseason and doesn’t take advantage of the injuries with all out blitzes.
I know the guy has a massive ego problem.
…but to your point we should get to see how Eli and the WR’s will handle the pressure. I’d really like to see Eli burn them deep and force their hand to pay Revis.
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
Likewise.

I want to see them get spanked...
By our third stringers…
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
How about
i just want to see the Offense move the ball and the defense get a sack. After they leave the field I’m really not concerned.
Our injuries to me are a blessing in disguise.
If this were the regular season, would any of our injured be in jeopardy of not suiting up? This is the question we should all be asking ourselves. This is all strictly precautionary I’d assume, we aren’t as wounded as we appear. At least we know the non participants will be around to practice come Wednesday, instead of us mourning their loss for the 2010 season. Silver lining folks.

It is not really a "Team Rivalry"
It is the fans..Get our first team in and out of there after showing some positives is all. I used to attend these games but gave up when I was on line to use the bathroom..This Jet nut tried to push his way thru the line..I stopped him and told him to get in line..He grabbed my neck, so I kicked him in the nuts..He got his wish..He pissed himself..Security threw him out..wet pants and all. Jets fans are right up there with Philly fans..losers.

couldn't stop laughing
simply hilarious

Yeah a good jolt..
To “Uncle Willy and the Twins” solves issues very quickly..First time I ever got a cheer from folks in a bathroom trying to hold on for dear life to get to a urinal…lol
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
There is another funny part of this..
When I returned to my seat..My wife (who misses absolutley nothing) asks me what that commotion was about..I told her “Nuttinn Honey…would you like more coffee?”..She just looked at me and knew I had an episode..She can read my eyes..

A win would be nice
I’d like the Giants to win the game because it’d be nice to open the stadium with the win, but the game really isn’t that important. It’s just preseason. We don’t have to play to win this game. Let’s just evaluate our talent so we can be successful in the regular season when it counts.
The missing option
is to have the starters leave after two series with a 14-0 lead and get everybody out healthy. That’s the option I’m pulling for. After that it’s a fun game of trying to match figures on the field with the names I’ve been seeing in the practice reports.
We need more toilet paper, I'm taking my talents to South Beach.

The Gilbride punching Ryan option
was too funny not to vote for, but I really hope no season ending injuries. No Osi or Alford repeats

I dont understand the hate on Rex Ryan
The dude is a pretty good coach and has a good personality. Yeah he coaches the Jets… so what? Ya can’t hate on him just for that.
And let the Jets talk all they want. They gotta go through us if they wanna win the a championsip. Talk is cheap.
Posting here for the first time
I grew up a 49ers fan (obviously), but lived in NYC for several years, and like the G-Men a lot.
I second the observations about injuries, find Rex Ryan to be a lot more entertaining than most coaches, but want the following most of all:
I want Brandon Jacobs to return to form, and run over Antonio Cromartie, whose playoff performance against the Jets last season may be the softest day’s work I’ve ever seen by someone who gets paid to play football professionally…Ideally, I would like Jacobs to run over him Laron Landry style.

Seeing all of the starters who are not even going to play
I’m changing my vote to the one about nobody else getting hurt. Geez, this is getting ridiculous.

At this point the Giants are doing ok
all of their injuries ahve been minor, shit we can deal with and still be out there opening day. Sure we lost Hixon, but honestly he was the KR / 4th WR. I was listening to the Opening Drive on Sirius NFL this morning and man, there are a TON of teams out there who have lost BIG pieces. And they didn’t even mention Ty Warren with the Pats. That’s about the 4th most important player the Pats have. Gone. That’s like us losing Tuck or Smith for the year. Jesus Christ in heaven, no injuries! And F the Jets
You play to win the game!
