PrintGood morning, New York Giants fans! Just a little bit of reading material for you before you head off to whatever activities you have planned for this Saturday.
Giants-Eagles game preview: A look ahead to Sunday's meeting at MetLife Stadium | NJ.com
There's a lot about this game that favors the Philadelphia Eagles, I believe: their starting cornerbacks' playing well of late, the absence of Giants' linebacker Michael Boley possibly opening the door for a big day from LeSean McCoy, the rookie linebackers who will have to fill the void for Boley and the fact it's do-or-die for Philly whereas the Giants have some wiggle room.
The line (Giants by 4) is also talking to me because that should be higher. But frankly, the move from 3 to 4 means it's talking to me less.
All said, I could see an Eagles victory on Sunday. But I don't see an Eagles victory on Sunday.
Coughlin's Corner | Giants.com
Q: I understand that you're not particularly a reflective person, but this is your 250th regular season game as an NFL head coach. Can you tell me from your first game until now something that is significantly different about the NFL?
Coughlin: "I think the style of play has changed. I think the colleges have changed. The colleges have changed their style. Therefore, the players coming out of college football have grown under different systems, many times, than what we feature here in the NFL. So there is an adaptation, a training, a developmental period, with a lot of players that are coming out. And I think it's, quite frankly, nothing to see 40 passes per game now. That's changed a lot."
"The better I play, the better my story gets," Herzlich said. "And obviously my goal right now during the season, in general right now, is to play better. I've beaten cancer, it's in my past, but at the same time I continue to be proud of what I've accomplished.
"I'm itching. I'm itching to play defense. I've been playing special teams my whole life, too. I mean, to people who don't play in the league or follow it real closely, they think special teams is just something off to the side. Just because the camera doesn't follow us on every play doesn't mean we don't take it very seriously. I know we take a lot of pride in special teams. If I get a chance in defense, great; if I don't, I'll get my pride on special teams."

Ha!! Check out this qoute from a Yahoo! commenter regarding Aaron Rodgers' popularity.
I’m a dolphins fan so i have no love for the pats but i really can’t stand aaron rodgers obnoxious @#$%. At least brady and the pats stay humble. So i hope they destroy the packers
On what planet is this true?
Okay…now I’ll read the post.

the Patriots are by no means humble
but the Packers this year do seem a bit full of themselves. they don’t have that toughness factor they did last year. they’re more of a flashy Cowboy-like team now
I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee fan.

I don't know..I just think they deserve credit for the way they are performing..
I don’t see it as arrogance, I see it as confidence..There is nothing wrong with that at all.

...but we the Giants DID humble the Patriots... '18-1'

Let's Go Giants!
If I had my choice..as long as
We stay ahead in our division, I’ll take a loss..then humble Green Bay in the playoffs..

i am concerned
that the giants are going to blow this game against a 3-6 team with a back up qb.

I know I know
It’s human nature to always think of the negative things about something instead of the positive.. . ie last years game vs Philly and Dallas, or 2008 . . . I tend to do that about the Giants
I just feel any sort of condfidence is overconfidence and it’ll come back to bite you in the ass. Don’t know why I feel that way so I always say the Giants are going to lose so take my “predictions” with a grain of salt, I’m sure you do anyways.
Ha...I get worried if I start feeling like they are definitely gonna win
Then I try to mute my cheer-leading.

This team
We still have a lot to worry about with this team. They are still very dangerous. It will take a great effort and much focus to finish them off. That said, there is nothing I want to see more this season than a sweep of philly GO GIANTS!!!!
This will no doubt be a tough game..they always are..
The spread I’m looking at says our guys by 6 points…The local papers down here say us by 7..but yes this is a wounded animal we’re playing…
"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..."
Take 7 points
if you can get them in FLA, LOL! Dolphins make it 3 in a row, over the Jills, yippee!

Of course if we lose this one too, after the Seahawks...
guess who gets blamed for it and called a jinx ;-D
As always we'll make it interesting
We just dont know how to “strangle” desperate teams like this & put an end to them. I wouldnt be surprised if we lost & it catipults the Eagles season & they go on a run right into the playoffs.

On prime time TV? With the whole country watching?
the New York “Hey everyone, watch this…” Giants??
…ya
I can see that happenin…
agreed. the giants have much to lose in this game.
i am deeply concerned that they are not taking the situation as seriously as they should. they are going to drop this game.

I agree
the eagles will drop this game. I am not concerned though because I do not care about them.

Even if the Beagles pull out a win,
they aren’t making the playoffs. It’s almost impossible at this point. It will catapult them into a loss next week maybe… That’s about it. Turkey, er uh….. Eagles is cooked.

I was wondering why they don't ask him to help
I’m assuming that it has to be a LB because everyone else is further away. Minus linemen…of course.

I heard Banks say it on FAN yesterday
sometimes safties make the calls for D-Backs, when I played in college our Free Saftey always made the d-back calls. Not sure DIII football compares to the NFL but it might not be all that uncommon for it to happen
Won't be a rookie and Andi
said Rolle didn’t want to have the mic if he didn’t have to
Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.
-John Madden
[Jake Ballard] has 4 speeds actually:
Stop→Slow→Truck (he shifts into that when its time to carry 4 defenders for another 4 yards)→LEAP!
-Raptor 22
I would bet on Kiwi
but possibly also KP

Calls
Probably Kiwanuka, but the Giants have not made any announcement on who will do that. So, we just have to watch the game and find out.

Yeah that would be my guess..Kiwi..

Rolle
Call it a guess but I could see him wearing the helmet. Needs to be a guy on the field for every play. Then you let the MLB call audibles.
by Madhops on Nov 19, 2011 11:01 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Could possibly..I was thinking about him..
But it depends on what idotic defensive plan Radio has…If he’s playing back deep he wouldn’t be able to do it..If they play press..which they should… yeah he could do the calls..
"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..."
How about Fewell from the sideline with a megaphone...

Hahaha!!!.."Now hear this!!!"...LOL

Looks like hertz may get the nod over Jones…if he gets 10 tackles I won’t be shocked at all…this game may be a slaughter…as VY isn’t as slippery as Vick ! Contain Shady and we win easily !
kinda sorta almost in a slight way,think this team is gonna be special ,but dont quote me on it .....im drunk

i'm excited to see Herzlich
and maybe SpittyP get some snaps. that one hit on Alex Smith he had last game was great. maybe he can give one to VY

Wiggle Room?
Who are you kidding? We have no “wiggle room” man! The NYG MUST win this game or it will reek of another 2nd half meltdown. If they win the game they regain their confidence, get some momentum going and bury the damned Uggles once and for all. Wiggle room my ass.
I agree psychologically
But realistically we need to sweep the boys +1 additional win and the division is ours. I mean don’t we all realize at this point it is somehow, someway going to come down to the last game of the year. Then Emmit Smith will trot onto the field with a dislocated shoulder…
by Madhops on Nov 19, 2011 11:04 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Well one thing is for sure..we'll now how important this game is..
After we see the outcome of the Dallas Washington game..Id Dallas beats the skins then we must win this game…Gotta maintain the division lead..

Would love to see him start over Jones at this point

World Series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing every changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
I agree
I love Mark and he is a warrior but the whole cancer thing is getting played out. He is an amazing kid and I want him to be successful. I think I am more critical of the media because they are the ones who have to bring up the cancer every time his name is mentioned. He probably wants to start making a name for himself on the field now.

It's solely on Boley to keep the other team's RB in check?
I thought it was the job of all 11 guys on the field? Not sure what your point is, other than you subliminally saying Boley sucks, which is not the case, since he’s been playing at a pro bowl level all season, and in addition to Kiwi, JPP and CWeb, has been our best defensive player. Move along, nothing to see here.

Boley not playing will hurt
Now I hope the rookies play well because they are gonna have to play 60 minutes of disciplined football to contain McCoy.

Yeah we are going to miss Boley out there no doubt..
But we have enough talent to stuff McCoy mouth up his butt…Then chop Jackson in half..and Vince Young?..He’s thrown one pass..one..He hasn’t been under game pressure in a very long time..His Uncle willy and the Twins will be shaking like a leaf..
"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..."
Now, I am in no way saying that the rookies can't perform at a high level.
They may go out there and play like a bunch of maniacs off of their meds. I hope so.

I don't understand the argument.
You have to acknowledge that Boley not playing could prove to be the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Boley is the one who tackled McCoy
on that key 4th-down run. McCoy had open field and Boley made the play.

The trade off of having williams and jones on the field who are more athletic but make plenty of goofs vs mark herzlich is who knows where to be on the field, has a high foot ball iq to sniff out plays but not so atheltic hmmmmmmm if we could mold williams and herzlich into one line backer we might be saying LT part 2 lol

Vick and Maclin officially out for Sunday.
Not that it should matter much. Giants just have to take care of business.
because they have both played so poorly against the giants in the past
like when maclin caught 2 tds and vick threw 3 and ran for another last time they visited giants stadium.
by andyfrombrooklyn on Nov 19, 2011 10:28 PM EST up reply actions
Just meant that they'd clearly not be 100% if they did play ...
so not that different than healthy back-ups.
ESPN is saying Herz might get that start
I’m so excited about the possibility you guys might as well label me a homer for this weekend. I’ve been waiting for this guy to get his shot all season. We need a defensive QB in the middle, and this guy has the ability to be that. I’m feeling good that Eli is gonna be Eli and Herz can up the quality of that defense and keep McCoy down.
in a little over 24 hours
we will know if the giants lost to a 3-6 team and their back up qb.

Don't have to wait 10 minutes to know when the Eagles will play their next meaningful game
That would be in 2012
It’s already a wrap… might as well not show up tomorrow.
