Giants Game Ball of the Week: Time to Vote

by Mike Farley on Dec 27, 2011 12:00 PM EST in Sprint Game Ball of the Week

Hey folks....so this week the Giants actually won so giving out the game ball is not only more fun but more appropriate. Still, it wasn't easy, because quite a few members of Big Blue stood out. So I'm going to let you, the readers, vote.

Do you like Justin Tuck, who came to life after coach Coughlin inspired him to dig down deep?

JPP, who once again was a loose cannon who loved the smell of the football and kept chasing it?

Victor Cruz, who single-handedly gave the Giants the spark they needed late in the second half with a 99 yard score?

Ahmad Bradshaw, who scored twice and introduced Brodney Pool to the MetLlife Stadium turf?

I could probably find a few more, but those are the four guys in my mind who were difference-makers. And I'm willing to bet it will be a close race. So who do you like? And feel free to add your own honorable mentions in the comments section. I'll start by saying Chris Canty. And Pete Morelli (oops, was that out loud??). Have at it, fellas.....

Cruz has to win. Has to. Broke Amani's franchise record. Even if Cruz only had 1 catch for like 3 yards, he'd still win

because that is one hell of a feat.

This week’s Justin Tryon “fight through the pain” award probably goes to Justin Tuck tho.

I support the Giants like bras support Kim Kardashian's boobs. It can be a struggle, we've had some jiggles, but we're still firm.

Man tough call.

First instinct was Cruz… and I am such a huge fan of JPP, I could vote for him if he was lousy.. Bradshaw’s run (over and through) Pool was legendary… and a few others played great but I think I have to go to Tuck, who has fought, against injury and pain for weeks and simply willed himself back to 100%.

For all the complaints about Tuck, his lack of vocal leadership, his sub par performances due to injury, etc., he stepped up huge and it was good to see.

i agree

I just voted for Tuck too, and then noticed that almost everyone voted for Cruz. I really have no problem with any of the four winning it.

Tuck. He was a difference maker on D and the impact he has on the psyche of the team is huge

Cruz deserves it

But I had to vote for AB, watching him truck Poole in the hole never get’s old.

Tom Coughlin!

Guy’s limping around on the sidelines…I’m feeling the love for TC today.

Ahmad Bradshaw running over Poole

Was by far my FAVORITE play of the game, but I have to give it to Tuck for stepping up to the coach’s challenge and getting stuff done!!!

I had a real hard time choosing..

But I voted for Tuck..mainly because I am happy to see him back..We’re not going anywhere without that guy..But it was a tough list to choose from..

Had to pick Tuck

Lots of really good performances all around, especially on the defense, but Tuck’s coming back while still not completely healthy really set the tone for the defense in a lot of ways, which was the stronger side of the ball this week

Victor Cruz (nuff said).

Went with Cruz...

who should have been tackled twice, out of bounds once, and instead stepped up and….(I’m sure someone will finish this for me)…..

by Cranky50 on Dec 27, 2011 3:10 PM EST reply actions

Fewell would get my vote

for playing a simple defense and letting Sanchez do his thing (suck).

Not only the game..may very well change the season..

Eli needed help and finally got it for a change…Especially from the defense..That got me so excited I had to take my dog for a walk..

Aaah, nobody can blame you for this comment..

That guy is just a big blowhardand he may think he is instilling confidence with his players, but after awhile that gets old right quick..I said it a couple of weeks ago and since then alot of these so-called experts have chimed in with the same thoughts..I take a beating about Bulletin Board material..I’m still a firm beleiver in it.. a coach should never do that..He’s making a fool out of himself, and he is eventually going to lose his team in the locker room..He’ll be talking to deaf ears..I’ll take a Tom Coughlin over him anytime..“Talk is cheap..Play the game”..and I’ll tell you this..Everytime I find reason to criticize Coughlin, he pulls a fast one on me..You all must know that that man got hurt real bad..but he insisted on getting back to his post on the sideline..He’s one tough old bird that guy..
