Good morning fellow Giants fans. It's hard not to feel a little Deja vu--as the G-men are stockpiling wins with a daunting schedule ahead. The team is 3-1 heading into Sunday's home game against Seattle, and I haven't looked, but I'm guessing the Giants are favored by more than seven points. That doesn't mean this game will be easy, because it won't be. But no matter what happens on the field, the Giants are expected to win and to reach 4-1. The one difference in this year's team, however, is that they beat the Eagles, giving them confidence that they can beat contenders. In addition, Eli Manning is playing very much like his big brother--being efficient and finding ways to win. So yeah, it's a familiar feeling, but then again it's not. Here is what is happening around Giants' cyberspace...
Seahawks.com Blog | Up next: New York Giants "
When: Sunday, 10 a.m. PDT, MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, N.J. Record: 3-1 and tied for first in the NFC East after Sunday’s 31-27 win over the Cardinals in Arizona Where they rank: No. 21 on offense (24th rushing, 13th passing); No. 18 on defense (21st rushing, 18th passing)
This caught my attention for the statistics alone. Wow, those are not good numbers.
Seahawks | Seahawks can use recent history against New York Giants as measuring stick | Seattle Times Newspaper
But this is Seahawks history we're talking about, and the Giants have been a measuring stick for better and for worse over the past six seasons. Seattle beat New York twice in the span of 10 months, a pair of regular-season victories sandwiched around the Super Bowl appearance, establishing the high-water mark of the franchise's greatest success. The Giants helped illuminate the floor, as well, Seattle suffering two lopsided losses over the past three years to show how far this franchise had fallen.
I didn't want to remember those two games we lost against Seattle--the Feely game and the one in which we fell way behind and made a feeble attempt to come back. But at least that is not immediate recent history.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin, linebacker Mark Herzlich linked by cause | NJ.com
Both Giants head coach Tom Coughlin and linebacker Mark Herzlich remained busy enough during the past two months that they haven’t spent much time discussing the bond that connects the two more than 40 years apart. Herzlich’s a cancer survivor, battling Ewing’s sarcoma in 2009 while a standout linebacker at Boston College. Nearly 20 years earlier, Coughlin watched what cancer could do to someone’s life while he coached BC.

Welker's on track for 160 receptions this season and about 2500 yards
Calvins on track for 32 TDs. Some crazy WR play right now
Top of the BBV fantasy league! Team Figging lives on
And in relation to Welker's numbers
Brady’s on pace for like 6200 yards passing. Insane.
The year of the offense
It was a particularly small egg...thats why I asked.

Been saying this all season,
Defenses can’t keep up with offenses any more. Scoring is trending up, way up, and teams with lock down defenses are almost non existent. Maybe the Ravens, Steelers D looks old, Jets D is meh. Cincinnati is the #1 overall defense in ppg and yards allowed/game. That should tell you all you need to know. And the Redskins are second.

Im so happy Plax isnt on this team anymore. Hakeem, Mario, and now Cruz are young promising guys who have been playing pretty damn good so far this year. Im excited to watch these guys grow. Plax would have only hindered that growth

Funny thing about schedule
Although we beat Philly, we have no victories over a team with a winning record and a loss to the one team with a winning record. Philly might turn out to be last years Dallas, where they loose so many games early they are out of the playoffs early
We will find out
in the 2nd half of the season with this team, just how good they really are.
Take a look at the 2nd half schedule there folks, just saying.

i feel supremely confident
if Eli continues to play this way and the defense continues to get/stay healthy—we will improve each week.
Eli
No I do not think he is playing like Peyton. He is playing well but still erratic, never elite.
A bad throw, then a few good ones, another dumb throw, then a few good ones.
Peyton throws arrows and even when he misses, you know he knows it and how to fix it. I trust Peyton’s reads more than Eli. Eli still gets the pooped pants look when he goofs.
I want to see more consistency before I say he is playing elite level. I want to see more organization and urgency, esp when he gets to the line. There was a suggestion made by a commenter that we do a direct snap while Eli is giving directions. That seems like a worthwhile idea BTW.
That said, the game winning drives were the good Eli, want to see more of it.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
Tom Quinn Must Go!

…but when he’s on he’s as good as anyone in the league. The last two games he’s been darn near flawless in the thrower of the football position.

There is only one Peyton
As long as Eli keeps the turnovers to a minimum, he is plenty good. Ive said this before I don’t know if he is Elite or really care, because I know if the guy plays his game we can beat a lot of teams. At the end of his career he will probably go down as the best QB the Giants ever had.

I agree
After its all said and done
Eli will have 2-3 Rings on his finger… and will be without question the Best QB the Giants have ever had.
Giants are young, and injured... Most importantly they are winning.
You may...
But if Eli keeps putting up the number he has, and stays healthy, he’s going to finish top ten in NFL history in yards and touchdowns…

Are you guys talking about Yelberton Abraham Tittle?
I met him on the 1st day of training camp at Fordham U. He and Shofner had just arrived. I stopped him on one of the college roads after practice for a signature (I was holding a stack of trading and index cards about 5" thick. A lot of cards) He reached out and I pushed the stack forward It was Joe Pasarchik type handoff that went wrong. About 150 cards flying around on the street and he and Kyle Rote gave me a hand picking them back up while Shofner directed the little bit of traffic around the three of us. YA was embarassed because he felt he had knocked the cards out of my hand (not true). What a guy.

I realize this, its nothing on you in particular.
Just feels like its all been done before. Nobody really is going to change their opinions of Eli whatever side they’re on. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better off to just leave it alone. Good game or bad game it always seems to turn to peyton, rivers, and this vaguely defined “elite” word everyone uses.

I disagree about the "bad throw....another dumb throw" comment
That’s actually the one thing that’s stood out to me in this early season. I think I can count on one hand the amount of so-called “dangerous” throws that Eli’s made all year so far. Even the pick against the Skins, while partially his fault, was just as much a matter of Uncle Phil missing his cut block and the deflected ball landing right in Kerrigan’s lap. Eli’s been very smart with the ball so far. Now the question is if he can continue to do that in November and December.

Then by your definition only Tom and Aaron are elite right now
I’m not sure it’s meaningful if we say less than the top 10% of QBs are elite.
Personally I think the whole elite argument is nonsense. I think Balt wishes they had kept non-elite Dilfer over the guys they thought might become elite.

Lather, rinse, repeat
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
Again with his face
I don’t give a rat’s ass about how his face looks at any time ever. Don’t care. That’s his face. It’s kind of dopey, kind of “huh?”. Don’t care. It is not reflected in the way he plays and I doubt it has anything to do with the way he thinks or what he says to his teammates.
Not really jumping on you here, this is a build up of years of that kind of thinking. Who cares if he looks like a troll or has a 3rd eye? He’s clutch, steady and he makes adjustments with himself and his guys. That’s all you need to know.

No offense intended here M @ C
but you got to stop this haters shit. Not everyone agrees with you and you just can’t make your point by shouting like a town crier, suggesting that “haters” are defficient as Giants fans. It’s all very similar to statements like “you’re either with us or against us” or “love it or leave it”, how about “better dead than red” .
I personally get annoyed at attempts by people to pollarize a group of folks who are mostly on the same page. We’re Giants fans, by default, we all want the same thing: the rush, the deep satisfaction and excitement of a Superbowl win and everything that builds up to it. I would like that to be the common goal here..
I’m enjoying the hell out of Eli and have nothing to complain about but in your eyes I would be an Eli hater because—-well, I’m not gonna go there.
I’ll leave it at that.

What?
He said Eli is making bad throws, another poor throw than a good one. That’s not even close to accurate. When someone posts about Eli still making poor throws when he’s really not, the person more than likely is not an Eli fan. And also, there will always be two sides. Deal with it. I am an Eli fan, but I’m not overly apologetic like some. He makes a bad play, I’ll say so. Stating your opinion of him in a negative light that is completely inaccurate is pretty much hating on the guy. Get a grip.

You wrote "Haters gonna hate"
It’s a steady theme here. If one tends to be critical of Eli, he gets a steady pounding by some and you might as well carve a capital H on their forehead. You can’t deny that using the word “hater” is used to diminish the value of a person’s opinion. “you’re a hater”, thus you’re delusional, not really a Giants fan, clueless, stupid or something less. Am I wrong?
And Eli has admitted to making some bad throws including the 2nd TD pass to Cruz. You gonna call him an Eli hater? Me, I’m glad he made that throw but he admitted it wasn’t the wisest throw.
Two sides? Maybe that’s part of your PROBLEM. There is always more than two sides. There could be an infinate number of “sides”. If you have the same goal in mind (the giants winning), and if you think you are part of a community (which I’d like to think it is) then there are a couple of terms you might include in your package of social skills; Consensus and agree to disagree.
Haters gonna hate is divisive, and it’s sort of like circling the wagons. You don’t get it, that’s fine. I understand what you’re doing. It’s distasteful.
I was in the Viet Nam war in 67-68. USMC. If some dumb F*%k LT would put the platoon in jeapardy because he was a dope or maybe a loony tune there was an act called “fragging”. I’m sure you know all about that.
I’m just saying I know when to circle the wagons and when to get along.
I’ve got a grip. I’m married 39 years, three good (adult) kids, I’m 64 and retired and I’m alive to enjoy my favorite team’s performance. If that isn’t a grip, what are you talking about.

It is hating when
a guy makes up things about a guy portraying him in an inaccurate negative light. You obviously don’t know what it means. If he had said Eli is p[laying well, but he’s still making a bad throw here and there, I’d say true, but you’re nit picking. To say I see him make a bad throw, then another, then one good one, then a bad, and another is hating on someone for no reason other than just because you don’t like him. It’s clear as day. You don’t like it, don’t read it.

Reese
Its fine that Reese predicted we would make the playoffs. But the object is to win a Championship.
The question is – can this team, as constructed, beat the likes of GB, the Saints to make it out of our Conference, then beat a team like the Pats.
There will be some that will say “once you make it in, anything can happen”, but I think that logic is lame. If you are going to hope that Rodgers hurts his arm and Woodson breaks his ankle, I am not sure what percentage of a real “chance” you have.
I hope Reese will do something before the trade deadline to move this team from the middle of the pack, to a real contender.
well
What moves do u think Reese should make ?? GB NO NE are not without flaws…I like the giants chances against them…Reese just snatched a very Good nickle CB ! There are no “must” have players out there…we have the talent to Win against anyone !

Agreed
Couple that with the guys coming back from injuries after the bye and hopefully a healthy Tuck, Im not sure how much more Resse can do to improve the team at this point.
The only option I see is an Os trade which I would not support.
no trade Osi
I agree w/not supporting an Osi Trade,off the edge there’s non better…once he gets his legs under him & we Scheme to his strengths he will be fine !

by Mr.Williams on Oct 5, 2011 8:56 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I don't agree
While I would say we could beat any one team on any given day….
To win a championship, you have to beat a bunch of good teams in a ROW without losing.
We are not that good. We are a middle of the pack team thats been impacted by injuries, that has beaten some relatively weak competition, and struggled mightly to do that. If we don’t pull the Cards game out of our butt, the tone on here is alot different.
Without making moves, this team does not have enough offensive firepower combine with a weak pass D to beat teams like the Saints and Packers that will hang a big number on anyone.
Love my Giants
But I have to agree with every word of this post.

You need to explain why they aren't a real contender now
For a team that suffered a ridiculous amount of injuries on D and reshuffled the OL they are playing up to expectations and beyond. So I’m not going to argue about what JR should do, but demand an explanation as to how you KNOW they aren’t contenders right now as constituted.

The chances of key injuries happing to any contending teams is very high
in this league, things change in a flash so while you don’t “hope” or expect key players to get hurt the chances are a few of them will and it will affect teams down the streatch, it just cant be predicted.
Do you really think GB will be playing this well in December when we play them? I highly doubt it. Who knows how well the G-Men will be playing by then but the 08 Giants looked unbeatable through 12 weeks. Freaking NE was the best team ever in 07 and I think we all thought as Giant fans how in the world will we beat them. 06 Colts were unstopable then layed an egg in the playoffs. 09 Saints were on fire and looked to go undefeated then dropped there last 3 games. NE last year was blowing out playoff teams like the Bears and Jets and looked unbeatable, then they lay an egg in the playoffs.
The difference between 12 wins and 6 wins is marginal and pure chance has more to do with it than talent and coaching. Thats why the league is fun to follow but hard to take seriously or make predications about December in October.
funny thing is
This team is 4-1 and really has yet to play to its full potential save for the philly game ! In yrs past we wld be firing on all cylinders early only to flame out…there are no unbeatables on our schedule…just like there are no gimmies !

Eli will never be Peyton
but I’d blame Gilbride, Coughlin, the young WRs and the Giants controlling ways more so then Eli himself. When he’s allowed to go no huddle and call his own plays, he’s as good as anyone.
And the Giants statistical ranks don’t really matter. This team still hasn’t put it all together yet, not even close.

We can't do that.
The Giants are one of the few remaining teams predicated on playing “team” football.
We are at our most successful when we’re only passing 20-25 times, we’re running 25-30 times, and the defense is staying fresh.
I don’t know if that’s the type of game Eli would call, but I know that’s the type of game Gilbride attempts to achieve.

do u disagree, though,
that eli is very successful when running the no huddle?
by The Blood of Eli on Oct 5, 2011 9:16 AM EDT up reply actions
Hell no I don't disagree.
But is it successful because we save it for the two minute drill? We don’t know, but we do know that it is successful when the game is on the line, and we probably shouldn’t mess with that.
Far more often than not, when the game is on the line and we have two minutes to go get it, Eli leads the charge and gets it.
If we played like that all game, who knows how successful it would be? Watching how Eli performs you would think it would lead to these great scoring drive son a regular basis, but that also means the defense has less time to recover, and would be asked to be on the field a lot more. SO while the stats would be pretty, how would the W-L column look?
I prefer we save it for crunch time like we have been…it leads to wins.
Win ugly.
by tito (eight and oh) on Oct 5, 2011 9:19 AM EDT up reply actions
I wouldnt mind seeing the 2 minute drill earlier
Us scoring fast is better than 3 and outs which we have planty of
You can only run it
for stretches of the game, because the drawback is IF you have three and outs, the defense is not going to get a rest. I would like to see them run it a little more, Elijah is very comfortable with it.

And if we ran the no huddle all game

every time they take the reigns off Eli
like in 2 minute drill, he’s lights out. I dont understand why they dont run a hurry up offense more often. Eli can read defenses. He knows whos blitzing and uses dropping into coverage more times then not. He can call his own plays based on his defensive reads, and has the WRs to get the job done.

- Eli
- JPP (he’s getting doubled on every play, with Tuck that means the LBz run free)
- experience Lots of young guys coming into their own (we could start with Beatty)
Last year I saw guys still learning everywhere, and I still worry about the LBz that way, lot of inexperience out there. Gotta keep Tuck in game shape. He and JPP together just limit what an offense can do.

"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
@"No. 21 on offense (24th rushing, 13th passing); No. 18 on defense (21st rushing, 18th passing)This caught my attention for the statistics alone. Wow, those are not good numbers."
Goes to show how eliminating mental mistakes (to a large degree), reducing turnovers/winning the turnover battle, efficient (TD scoring) red zone offense and stout tightened up red zone defense (all at times Giants buggaboos and areas TC has relentlessly tried to improve and address with some good success these past few games) can really go toward earning W’s.
Now if they can keep up that progress AND improve on the standard stats mentioned above, then we can really compete with those top teams mentioned upthread.
(Another area, 3rd down efficiency, I haven’t been following the trend. Is it improved? Seems like it might be with Nicks and occasionally Cruz converting, and Ballard a few times too. I like Ballard. And Nicks is going a little unsung I think for how huge he’s been. He’s every bit the MVP as Manning is in that AZ game, being the key making multiple big plays in both of a couple long TD drives that were essential to winning the game in both the 1st and 2nd half.)

"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I for one
am very impressed with our team… Stats are only for people that want something quantifiable… The only stat that matters is the one everyone here is happy about and the major one people on BGN are rioting about.. The Win – Loss Columns.
I dont care if Eli throws 2 times in one game for 2 yards, He is not on my FF team… As long as we get the win. Wins will allow the team to “Gel”. Wins will allow the Giants to focus on refining, instead of retooling… Most importantly.. Wins will put you in the playoffs. Wins will get you into championships.
Not personal stats… not whether MM has 1 catch or 15. Not whether Eli throws for 500 yards in a game (by which everytime he comes close, we usually loose)..
Wins are beating the team you are playing that week. This week, it is the Seahawks… Every team is looking for Wins.. The Seahawks are not going to shrivel and die.
We are a young team with a lot of our starters injured… but the thing is, we keep winning.

it's true!
but Eli needs to pass for more than 2 yards for us to win—and he is usually the direct result of a Giants win or a Giants loss. So far this year, he is playing like a man who can lead us to another superbowl.
unfortunately, too many people are caught up in the argument as to wether or not Eli is “Elite” becuase after a win, the Eli lovers need to say their piece, and after a loss the haters do their thing. Like the Giants, we need to take it a game at a time.

With the loss of players, new Oline, and key injuries I think most of us have a fingers crossed every game. Great starts we’ve had in the past I feel we all expected them, then saw our team crumble.

by hit_hard on Oct 5, 2011 10:10 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
Bottom Line
with all the injuries this team has suffered and with the transition of the OL, the team is doing remarkably well. The maligned coaching staff and GM must be given credit. If Tuck can get healthy, Prince becomes a contributor and the running game comes around, this team could be a legitimate contender.

the coaching staff must be warming up to Cruz

of course
especially after the “prefect storm” of Sunday games. I’m trying to be in the players shoes and keep their eye on the prize. Just play week to week, correct mental mistakes, young players grow, get healthy, etc.

I'm with this
The mood has shifted and it should but nobody should be buying tickets for the NFC Championship game just yet.
The same sort of thing is happening in Buffalo (I know…I know…the Giants are not the Bills but hear me out). After the Bills beat the Pats and were 3-0 the entire city was talking playoffs and how great they were. It seemed odd because for the entire off-season every single person was predicting a 4 win season. After they lost last week all they talk about is how horrible the defense is and they will go nowhere. The thing is that their defense was horrible in each of their games (minus the Chiefs).
It’s great that we have a team that plays a full 60 minutes but we can’t rely on last minute comebacks each week.

MAKE IT WORK!!!
well said
My brother in Buffalo called the CINN game being a let down game. Same goes with the Lions… they can’t keep coming back from 20, 24 points each week.

This. I will call it here first. Chicago goes into Detriot this week and smacks the Lions in the mouth and wins.
Lions have not played a physical team yet. When they do, enter bears D, they are in for a surprise. There will be no coming back from 24 down on the Bears D.

It won't matter.
I’m not talking about the offense. Bears D is going to punish the Lions, like I said, I like the Lions, love the team they have, but they haven’t gotten hit in the mouth yet. We’ll see what happens when they do.

Suh is not human, agreed.
But let’s see how the glam offense of the Lions reacts when the Bears hit them hard every play. I have a feeling they won’t do so well.

I don't know about that
The rook and Steve Smith had a solid day against them last week.
Quinn must go !!
Stats mean nothing
all they are doing is measuring yardage which is telling but does not tell the whole story.
The D is playing well in the RedZone, getting sacks, and turnovers and not letting up big plays or a lot of points. Factor those stats in and our D looks a lot better. Also considering no Tuck and TT it looks really good. The injuries will hurt us down the streatch when we play the tougher games though and that is my big concern.
Ofensively I’m a little more worried. The only thing we’ve improved upon is fewer turnovers, which is great, but the O still lacks consitatncy and continuity. They’re only good in spurts and cant put together 60 minuest of good football. I don’t expect 40 points a game, but they can’t go 3 and out as often as they do. They need to get first downs and even if they don’t always score turn around the field position and keep the D off the field. I beleive this is a product of the work in progress O-line and a new fullback and TE. They don’t run the ball well at all and need the pass to set up the run but it takes Eli about a quarter or two to get going. Eli’s playing great but he needs to turn it on a little earlier, get a few first downs and allow them to run the ball a bit. KG has done a nice job with more screens to the RBs and WRs, would like to see some quick slants to Nicks to get 5 or 6 yards to make up for the lack of a running game.
Bottom line if the O can improve the defensive will continue to improve. Injuries might hold this team back this year as they are already decimated with key injuries and the Tuck situation will be a back breaker if he cant play much this year but they’re playing hard and improving which is nice to see.
Wholeheartedly agree.
i’d love some consistency on offense.

That was a good book.
seriously though, I couldn’t agree more. Our 3rd down conversion ratio is still not where I’d like it to be. The offense totally runs hot and cold right now. seems like we’re either going all the way, or 3 ‘n’ out. I agree that if our run blocking improves, it will go a long way toward fixing this.
Defensively, we do WAY better in the red zone because we don’t have to worry about giving up the big play. Guys can be more aggressive coming up field. I’d like to see what happens if they play this way to start with. Let our pass rushers prevent the big plays by getting sacks.

I can't stand watching this guy..His face is bent!!
Everytime I tried I found myself moving my bottom jaw bak and forth try to ensure it wasn’t stuck crooked…Please don’t post this monotone moron anymore..gives me the creeps..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
The defense is
Playing bend but don’t break style of ball which scares me but Our red zone d has been outstanding. I just don’t want to keep putting the players in these type of positions all game. i would like Perry to play a little bit more aggressively. As far as the playoffs please let,s just beat the Seachicks.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
It's also killing our avg starting field position.
I don’t have the figures, but it just seems like we’re starting at or inside the twenty on a lot of drives.
Win ugly.

That might also be a product of our O's slow starts
Our O gets the kickoff and promptly goes 3 and out gaining little to no yardage early on in games. If our O got a first down or two and moved the ball to midfield before punting our D would be in better shape. I think we’ve actually improved on field postion with fewer turnovers and better punting from Weatherford as compared to last year it’s just the hot and cold nature of our O that seems to put us in holes early on in games.
Prince Amukamara is NOT expected to practice until after the bye week.

More Injuries
Dont much care about BJ. Think he’s pretty much done. But Boley worries me. Been playing well and calling D signals on field. Think BJ injury might be opportunity for Hynoski to show if he can run. Seems like he can catch out of backfield. What about Andrews as blocking back?
Marfar
If BJac is out expect to see Ware
And Paysinger if Boley can’t go.

BJ can only run thru gaping holes. Not able to power rush anymore. A shame, but that was his value to team. And even on short yardage was never great but now awful.
Marfar
He scored on 1st and Goal from the one on Sunday
On his first attempt.
Since when does that equal “awful”?

Only b/c of a great block by Andrews. But he doesnt get it done on short yardage most of the time. Stutter steps looking for a hole and not able to overpower people like he once could.

Hard to get to full speed when the line isn't opening holes. Watch some film.

Holes do need to open up first for a man of his size...
BJ needs to be run more often off tackle, where he can get a full head of steam up.

So you're saying if BJ gets some run blocking he'll be successful?

I would settle for BJ being “average.” Do you think he can still overpower the Dline like he did 3 yrs ago?
Marfar
by overpower, do you mean
not having to face the 8th man in the box because they are doubling covering the main WR like 3 years ago… then yes I do

BJ's always needed gaping holes
he’s still running hard the holes are not there he’s just not good enough to creat them. If the blocking gets better BJ will be gaing 5 per carry soon enough.
