Plaxico Burress: 'This Is What New York Is All About'
Amazingly, we have hit Thursday of New York Giants-New York Jets week and Plaxico Burress has barely been mentioned all week. Burress was available to the media on Wednesday, and was of course asked about what it would be like to play against his former team.
"I'm still in contact with some of the guys that still play over there and we did some special things while we were over there, obviously winning a World Championship. I still share good relationships with some of those guys. But, when we go out there on (Saturday) and we go out there and lace them up, we're enemies for the next three-and-a-half, four hours," Burress said. "So we all understand that it's going to be some good competition and I mean, just look at the circumstances of this game. The loser of that game won't go to the playoffs, Christmas Eve, Jets versus the Giants. This is what New York is all about. It couldn't be a better setting."
Burress did, of course, predict a Jets victory.
"Somebody’s going to wake up with a bittersweet Christmas," Burress said Wednesday. "And it’s not going to be me."
Burress has not been a great player for the Jets this season, but he has been good. He has 38 catches for 521 yards (13.7 yards per catch) and eight touchdowns.
Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer had this to say about what Burress has brought to the Jets:
"I think big-play ability, obviously. (He is) just that threat where you get isolated one-on-one. You go back to last game, we didn't do many things very well, but that one time they singled him on the backside, he was on Nnamdi (Asomugha) I think, late in the game, and just the catch that he made. (He is a) consistent player that's a big-play threat and he's been nothing but a pro. I mean, he works. It's been great to see and he's obviously excited about this week.
Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell was, of course, asked about Burress this week:
"They're the number one red zone offense in the league and he's a big part of that. He's a big target and the guy is good," Fewell said. "I think it's size and I think it's skill. He made the touchdown catch last week against the Eagles. That was a phenomenal one-handed catch that he kept himself inbounds. I think he just has a feel. He knows how to play the game."

I was just watching ESPN first take and it amazes me how disrespectfully they are to the giants. they were debating who would win the NFC East whethered be the Cowboys or the Eagles and completely wrote us off as losing to the jets. I hope we crush them then the cowboys. Then I’d want to hear Skip and co. take on that

What else is new....
The Giants never gets any respect and at times it’s deserved especially the way we played the last game it’s hard to take us as a serious playoff team. But I believe in Eli and if we just get the defense to step up for a minute you just never know. Another point, we get no respect because even though we are a classy team we need a few tough guys on this team. Recalling when we played mcnabb and he went to our sideline and picked up the phone then this season when Desean tossed the ball at Perry, do you think this would happen to the Ravens or Steelers,those guys would make sure they kick ass for those actions but the Giants are just mild mannered

We deserve disrespect
I’m a hard core Giants fan since the late 1960s. I’m also a “glass half full” kind of guy. But, there’s no way i can feel good about our chances. There have been times when we flat out sucked, but I don’t know if I’ve ever been as frustrated with the team as I have over the past season and a half.
- they cannot play defense. This is the Giants, for chrissakes. They have lineman. they have at least decent secondary. They have two reasonably good LBs. They should not be this bad, but they are.
- they cannot run the ball consistently.
- when they play crappy teams, the play crappier.
- when they play mediocre QBs, they make them look like All Pros.
- they cannot play on their home field.
- They have no return game.
They have a hero at QB, and some talented wideouts who are prone to major mistakes. That’s it.
I hate a lot of the blabbermouths at ESPN, but tell me: have the Giants done anything to deserve respect?
They may make the playoffs, and I surely hope with every fiber of my body that they do, but it will take something that the Giants haven’t shown the ability to do all year: play consistently well over two games on both sides of the ball.

The Eagles have just as much of a shot as the Giants do at this point.
THe Eagles have also gotten a ton of breaks the past couple of years, I would not be shocked if they win out, we will lose vs the Jets but we’ll somehow beat the Cowboys to put the Eagles in the playoffs.
Agreed 100%.
I think we’re gonna get blown out.
I think they’re gonna be able to run on us, at which point Plax will put on a show. We’ll get behind and have to pass, and…it’s too ugly to contemplate.
Of course, this is precisely the kind of scenario the Giants thrive in. I could also see Jacobs running wild, and Eli-to-Ballard all day long with a side of Ham, and JPP going absolutely buck-nutty.
But I don’t have a good feeling. Sigh.
11/1/2010
That won't happen...We've knocked out every good runner we've faced..
And Ballard won’t be playing, so if they are smart..they’ll line up with 4 wide sets..The Jets can cover what we have..if of course our offense shows up this week..Lets see Nicks, Cruz, MM and Barden..Who the hell can cover all of that?..Just need to protect Eli he will perform surgery on them..and our idiot coaches better dial up heat on Sanchez…

Why would they have respect for a team
Thats about to miss the playoffs doctor the 3rd straight yr??? Would you? A team that hasn’t beaten an elite team since 2008 aside from the patriots this yr. I kinda feel like we’re cursed
Maybe we should’ve just let the patriots win in 2007! We’ve had nothing but bad luck eve since
by AHoustonGiant on Dec 22, 2011 12:25 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
We are cursed
we’re the new Jets. We’ll be old men talking about Eli and SB 42 the way Jet fans pine about Namath and SB 3. Look at whats happened since 07
08 on a roll then our best offensive player shoots himself with a gun which gets him suspended for the rest of the season and the captain of the D is distracted with legal issues for the rest of the season right before the Eagles game. Think about how unlikley that is. THat would be like Mike Vick gets caught drowing dogs in the Delaware river and Trent Cole’s driving the get away car.
We then proced to lose to the Eagles in week 13 which would of ended their playoff hopes but instead they get on a roll but still need outside help the last week of the season, Texans beat the bears then Jamarcus freaking Russel the biggest bust since Ryan Leaf overcomes a 2 TD 4th quarter deficite for a 4 win Raider team over the Buccaneers who were shoe-ins for the playoffs. Next thing you know the Eagles are in and sure enough the Giants get to play them again. Not Atlanta, or Arizona or Carolina but the Eagles the worst possible matchup for the Plax-less Giants. Eagles humilated us and rub it in and end our chances of a reapeat.
09 5-0 start 8-8 finish. Close out Giant Stadium with one of the most humiliating losses in Franchise history. One of like 2 teams in the history of the NFL to miss the playoffs after starting the season 5-0
10 – 31-10 with 7 minuets left. Giants loose to . . . sigh the freaking Eagles . The first game in NFL history to end on a punt return. A dog killer and a punk end the Giants season in historic fashion. Giants loose 3 of their last 4 division games to miss out on the playoffs.
11 – 6-2 to start again at best 3-5 to finish good shot at 1-7 to finish but knowing whats happend the past few years they lose to the Jets, beat the boys while the Ealges win out and once agian its another miracle finish by the Eagles. Beating Dallas in week 17 will not help us but help the Eagles.
Throw in the fact that the Jets led by the son of Buddy freaking Ryan have made two straight AFC championships while at the same time disrespecting and trash talking about the Giants for the 3 years he’s been hear and have actually backed it up on the field its kinda hard not to think the Giants made a deal with the devil for that SB a few years ago.
Oh my goodness...
you make a good point. That makes me sad.

I randomly thought about this as a real possibility
Last night talking to my best friend who’s a patriots fan. He said yall should hav just let us win our Super Bowl and the football gods wouldnt be mad at yall for ruining one of the best would be stories ever. “Yall took that away from the fans the media the football gods, who knows yall could’ve won the next yr especially starting out 11-1 PLAX would’ve never shot himself. Yall screwed yall selves over”
I really believe he has a point. when we miss the playoffs this yr it’s going to be the ultimate drop from where we were just a few seasons ago. It’s starting, let me rephrase that, it already feels like forever ago. If we miss next yr as well which is def possible bc of the NFC south and Afc north schedule we hav to play, I’m really going to believe we’ve been hexed

The Giants have not missed the playoffs 3 straight years
since the Dan Reeves era 94,95,96 but in his defense it was the end of the Phil SImms era and the begining of the Dave Brown era. Not only that the Giants have not missed the playoffs 4 straight years since the wilderness years of the mid 60’s and seventies. Since 1981 the Giants have only missed the playoffs 3 straight years once and thats when the greatest QB in franchise history and greatest player in franchise history retired. Simms and LT after 1993.
What spooks me the most is not just our ineptitute on the field but the amazing luck our biggest rival and little brother have had, the aformentioned 08 luck that hit the Eagles, not to mention what might happen this year and in 09 the Colts lying down for the Jets to let them into the playoffs. I’ve never seen stuff like that happen watching the NFL. I know the Jets are’nt some hated division rival but still it’s got to chap every Giant fans ass that they’re better and they do it taking shots at the Giants along the way. As GIant fans we are in dark territory my friends
medicocrity
Medocrity seems to fester on itself. Lets hope this mediocre 7-7 team is closer to 12 wins then 12 losses. It could be either one at this point!
luck can be equated with all teams
a lot of luck went into the Giants winning in 2007

There is a really smart guy around hear who convinced me that someone with the Giants sold their soul to the devil for that win.
I think he’s right.
I take issue with the Patriots winning was what the football gods wanted because if that was the case then they would have won. I told a buddy of mine during the week leading up to the Super Bowl that the better story for sports history would definitely be a Giants upset that year. It was David vs Goliath. It was the upset to top all upsets. It was a team that wanted it more beating what appeared to be invincible. The 2007-08 Giants are the definition of a “Cinderella team” and I think that win showed players, coaches, and fans that anything can happen. It’s just like they labeled that season…it definitely wasn’t perfect but it had the “perfect ending”. I agree.

The Ray Handly years were awful and that was a Jet like hire
but when Reeves came in after those two horrible years with a lot of the SB 25 team they went from 6-10 to challenaging the Cowboys for home field advantage.
It fell apart the next 3 years with Simms and LT retiring and George Young who was brilliant in his day but he failed to adopt to Free Agencey and invested too much in Dave Brown. That was the last time the Giants missed the playoff’s 3 straight years. We had Dave Brown at QB, we’ve had Eli Manning the past 3 thats the differance. It’s not like Dallas and Philly have been jugournouts the past few years the way Dallas was back then. If our franchise QB retired and we lost a HOF head coach then I could understand a rebuilding period like back then but thats not the case today. I’m not saying we should be winning SBs every year but lets face it the NFC East has been very week the past two years no reason the Giants should not of won it last year or this year.
how did all of this become a response to my
Plax in a shoot out comment? I never mentioned anything about respect for the Giants

Glaxico has just one problem
he needs Sanchez to throw to him. It appears he’s rarely smart enough to do that and always looks to throw to Holmes or Keller.

Barden
He has played well and made good catches when targeted and gets a decent throw.
TC/KGs heads are so far up each other’s butts that they cannot see it. It pisses me off to no end.
Burress with Eli would have been great but that is not really our problem. Not sure Burress would have gotten along with TC.
Our problems are injuries and coaching. We cannot do much about the former but the latter can be fixed. I hope JR and the Maras don’t follow the TC/KG lead and insert their respective heads in each other’s asses.

Hope Eli and the O are back from their Vacation last week
As for the D, I could write a whole bunch of stuff down about how they should cover and put pressure on Sanchez, but than I remembered Perry Fewell is our DC and he will stick to his marshmellow soft defensive schemes that most of the guys on the field still don’t understand. Which means, the Jet’s are going to have a good offensive day on us.

Great...Fewell knows that they are the best red zone offense in the league.
That’s perfect because the Giants only play defense when the opponent is in the red zone.
Which means I’m probably going to be seeing red on Saturday.
