Giants Game Ball Vote

in Sprint Game Ball of the Week
Email
PrintGreetings everyone. It's that time of the week again, and I love doing this post after another stunning performance by the Giants. There were so many incredible individual achievements, but mostly the upset over the Packers on Sunday was a total team effort by the coaches and players. So here are your choices for Game Ball of the Week:
Tom Coughlin--I'm sure John Mara and Jerry Reese never came close to having Bill Cowher or Jeff Fisher on speed dial, but many of us wanted them to a month ago after that awful home loss to the Redskins. Then somehow, some way, Coughlin yanked every last ounce of pride and performance out of his players, and they haven't lost a game since. Even better, though, is how they are winning games--by playing hard nosed defense, forcing turnovers, executing on offense and converting on huge third downs and big plays. For all of that and especially for knocking off the nearly undefeated Packers, Coughlin should be first on this list.
Eli Manning--I remember at one point watching Eli drop back in the pocket, and stand there like he was waiting for a bus before delivering a laser 15 or 20 yards down field. We believe in Eli, and he believes in himself and his teammates.
Hakeem NIcks--It was either Tom Jackson or Trent Dilfer on NFL Primetime that talked about Nicks and how physical he plays, and how physical and dominant he was on Sunday afternoon. Those drops late in the season seem like they were three years ago. And yes, Nicks put on a clinic Sunday, fighting for the ball, for position, and for yards. And for as amazing as the Hail Mary was, the first touchdown was even more impressive.
Michael Boley--Boley had maybe two of the biggest sacks in Giants history on Sunday--seriously. Boley also had nine tackles and played QB of the defense remarkably once again. And he gets extra credit for doing the Discount Double Check move after sacking Aaron Rodgers both times.
Perry Fewell--As much as we were calling for Coughlin's job, we were even more so doing that for PF. But once he decided to let his players play more simply and do a better job on stopping the run, defending big plays, getting to the QB, and forcing turnovers--the defense suddenly looked like the Big Blue Wrecking Crew again. And let's face it--they held the Packers to 20 points, but without a few gifts from Bill Leavy, it could have been much lower than that.
Okay, have at it.
But first, let's give a few honorable mentions:
Karma--Let's face it--we got hosed by Bill Leavy and his crew at least three times on Sunday, but no call was as blatant as the fumble that he ruled not a fumble by Greg Jennings--AFTER he went under the hood. It's hard to have respect for NFL referees and the league in general when that happens, and for whatever reason it's happened in three of the last four games (or maybe four straight--I can't remember any bad calls in the Dallas game off the top of my head). But hey, we won and got the last laugh. That's called karma, Mr. Leavy.
Ed Valentine--For posting that superstitions piece on Sunday morning. I think the combination of all the quirky things we did on Sunday added up and affected the outcome of the game. I even told two buddies who texted me congrats in the fourth quarter--"don't put the whammy on this!" right before Leavy called Osi for roughing the QB, another horrible call. I mean, the freaking Eagles taught us never to celebrate until the clock runs out.
The Chiefs--For giving the Giants a bit of a blueprint for how to beat the Packers. Thank you, Romeo
Aaron Rodgers and his receivers--For being horribly off in many instances with their timing--resulting in misfires and drops like crazy.
Finally, I'd also like to give a special honorable mention--a serious one--to Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, who called the game from the booth a couple of days after burying his 21-year old son. Many of us in the BBV community are dads, and that's just an unfathomable thing to have happen to any family. Our thoughts remain with you, coach.

I stopped choosing Eli week 5
When I realized he’d win it every week.
This week my “other” game ball goes to Boley. Dude was a beast sunday.
FIRE Perry Fewell

+59
Eli could get the game ball every week, I agree. Boley has played like a beast all year for us, and has been an absolute stud when we really need him.
Boley deserves it, for sure. And he did the Discount Double Check, and then did a double-Discount Double Check, after the 2nd sack. Props for that
I disagree this week
In that age old argument of who makes who better, the scales are weighted towards Nicks this week. He turned the first long play into what it became, and kept the hail may from being a meaningless incompletion. So game ball to me, based on difficulty of execution, would shift towards NY Nicks this time.
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....

I agree about Nicks and his two super efforts
in addition to his solid efforts on the other receptions. I voted Nicks as you did. Eli could technically win the game ball each week. Eli is masterful and is even more so in crunch time. Nicks edges out Eli. Nicks is having a great post season run so far……
Persistence is Omnipotent.
14 points on superb individual efforts
Easy call this week. Thank you Hakeem
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
Boley, Canty, Bernard, Rolle
Giants rightfully so, avoided Free Agents for years and years. And this group, especially Canty, Boley, and Bernard looked like total washouts their first season with us. It is so hard to find FA who don’t just sign for the big money and then retire on the bench. It took some patience, but we ended up with all highly motivated, high level performers. Not only are these guys great, may lead us to the Blow, but mean that the front office is excellent at judging character.
Isn’t it great not to have a single player on the team that you just can’t stand?

Bernard and Boley were hurt
Rolle has always done what he was asked at a high level
Canty is another story but hes been lights out as of late.

I'm not convinved
That with a full off-season Fewell doesn’t try to return to his old ways so I’m not giving any Kudos to him yet. Its a toss up between Eli and Coughlin.
I voted for Perry
Lord knows I mean Tebow that I have lambasted this guy for his shitty schemes all season but He has changed and so has this defense.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.

I voted for Eli
He made several clutch plays on third down for the Giants, and that went a long way toward them winning.
I voted Boley
His discount double checks were what put him over Nicks in my book.
by SFloridaMetsFan on Jan 17, 2012 2:37 PM EST reply actions
Yeah
And it was even better watching the highlights on NFL Network and hearing Irvin add sound effects to the double discount double-check after the 4th down sack. lol

Voted for Eli
He won’t always be here and we should appreciate him.
My prayers are with Joe Philbin. He suffered the worst of all personal tragedies and I hope he can find some solace with time.
Go Giants!
We'd be crucifying Boley for the Discount Double Checks if the Giants had lost.
Let’s leave other players celebrations to those players because I don’t want to see any 49ers salsa dancing on Sunday night.

"The Block"
Eli gets it for the block alone ..
Anyone read this piece on Yahoo ..
“So here came Eli the Pulling Quarterback, charging down the field and throwing a shoulder in on a Packer defender to spring Bradshaw for 24 backbreaking yards. Across the Giants’ offensive line there was a measure of disbelief. Before anyone could ask if Manning had actually just thrown his weight around, he was pointing at the replay screen, pointing at his block.
"Not quite a pancake," said guard Kevin Boothe with a smile.
"A chicken wing," Justin Tuck said.
"It might not have been the best technique but it got the job done," Manning deadpanned in defense.
The offensive linemen were already shaking their heads. This would soon become legend.
"We heard about his scramble last week [a 14-yard momentum changer against Atlanta]," Snee said. "Now we’ll hear about his block. It’ll be called, ‘The Block’ "
"I’m still staying proud of my block," Manning said with a laugh.

I vote TC
The old guy has proven me and countless others wrong. While I always thought him a good coach, I also thought the game had passed him by. Hat meet mouth. He has motivated this team, gotten them to believe in themselves when it looked like many (myself included) did not.
Side note: I read a post calling me out for staying away and that my life must suck, glass half empty philosophy and all. To that poster: you really don’t know me. I haven’t stayed away. I’ve been reading the blog, celebrating the play off run, and wishing the Giants and all their fans well in this new year. I have learned a valuable lesson not to let immediate emotions dictate what I post. Restraint of tongue and pen all that jazz. It’s a long season. The Giants are still standing. My half-chowed stetson is off to them and all the fans who remain positive at all costs. Happy belated New Year. Go Giants!
Nice.

Don’t sweat it, It’s a freaking football blog, not work or something where having a short fuse is gonna cost ya.
But it’s good to see ya come around on TC. Same thing happened for me this year but it was around week 6, when he kept this team competitive when a lesser coach would have melted. I used to go off the handle and ask for his head last year especially, but that old fart totally proved me wrong this season.
Go Giants
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
NIcks gets it
Voted for Nicks – he was the game changer this week in terms of momentum and big plays. And having him and Eli in my playoff fantasy league just propelled me back into the money positions after two monster games…
Hakeeeeeeeem the Dream!!
The ultimate football chicken & egg argument:
What came first? The great talent or the great scheme?
I voted Perry Fewell
For someone who was universally panned (I’ll admit it, I joined the Fire Perry Fewell blimp for a while) for single-handedly destroying the Giants’ defense to turn it around like this?
Definitely the winner in my book.
I never doubted any of the other choices, especially Tom Coughlin.
Btw, where are all the trolls from the middle of the season? Like “Fire Perry Fewell” and all those guys who wanted the Giants to tank the season and clean house?
GIANTS! 2011 NFC East Champs!
Osi said it best to Pam Oliver, the team personifies their coach, he's tough!
The hit he took to his leg is but one example of selfless service to the team.
Quote From Rolle
“I don’t give a damn who we are playing,” Rolle said. “That is my take. I don’t care who we play. I take any opponent. That is how I am and that is how I was raised. I don’t shy away from any opponent. My heart doesn’t pump any Kool-Aid, only blood.”

No way to vote for the DB's
But they played their best game of the season. Every one of AR’s runs came after a lengthy time drifting out of the pocket. Clearly no one to throw to. Pass rush picked up considerably in the 2nd half, but until it did the DB’s locked things down exceptionally well.
Much-maligned group, perhaps more than any other unit on the team (perhaps tied with the O-line for the # of disparaging remarks made by BBVers over the length of the season) earned big Kudos AND a game ball, IMHO.

That's the trouble when they won't let us see the coaches view
We got to see Rodgers in a panic all game, but we rarely got to see the stifling coverage. Like others have said, the Prince must have had a great game, but unless you were in the stadium you can’t have seen it. We seem to have a really good secondary now. How did that happen?? And GB DB’s were the ones saying “Was i supposed to cover that guy?” although for the most part they DID cover the guy. But he caught it anyway.

Nothing like watching the opponents secondery
looking at each other with outstretched arms and saying “what happened?”.
Very few “coverage shots” on the AR running replays. Yes, we know he could tuck it away and run with about 18 yards of open field in front of him…but what was he seeing down the field that made him run?

Old man reminiscing here...
yes, tv coverage is far superior today, I know…but way back when, before 9 replays of a 4 yard running play, endless promo spots, and Cleatus running across the screen, the networks used to pan out and you could see situational substitutions and the D backfield sets before the snap.

It really wasn't a bad idea
I remember the broadcast, and it made it a lot easier to talk over the game. No one told you to quiet down because there was no announcer to listen to.
I think they had like double or triple the field mics at the time to get a lot of ambient sound.
Bring it back, I say. If we need someone to tell us what’s going on after all the football we’ve watched, we’re in trouble.

"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..."
Unfortunately, I still don't think its really good - more like above average
There were still two Jennings touchdowns that didn’t happen because Rodgers just missed the first one and Osi stripped the second one. That being said, none of the much-discussed drops occurred when a Packer got behind the defense. To me, that’s the biggest thing – they were surrendering 15 yard completions, but they never surrendered the backbreaking mistakes that happened over and over this season.
Go Giants!
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
This could have been titled
the 2012 Eli Manning Ceremonial Game Ball. It feels like every player on the team partly owes this extended season to the work Eli put in this season. Having said that, Nicks went beyond expectations in the Green Bay game to help put pressure on the Packer offense. If the score had been closer late, Green Bay may have been able to run more and attack with a more balanced offense. As it stood, they were too far behind and played right into the teeth of the NY defense.
And he was able to do that
Because finally everyone was looking at Cruz instead of tripling him. Aaaaaah at last some air !

the fumble (non-fumble) was really bad, but i thought the Ware spot in the 4th quarter was worse because of the situation and point in the game. i replayed that a few times in slo-mo, and that spot was unbelievably wrong, almost 2 yards back from where the ball was when his knee hit. i also thought the holding call in the 4th that put the giants back to the 10 was also bogus.
but they persevered.
Shoot the puck Barry!!!
On the other hand, I agree with the roughing the passer
At risk of being unpopular, the rule now is, and very very strictly enforced: If your helmet touches the QB’s helmet in any way shape or form, even incidentally you will be penalized. The hats touched.
I love the rule when it protects Eli. Would like to keep him for another 8 years.

And isn't it a gas
that we can keep enjoying this, while we know that they are actually working on the theory of delayed enjoyment. The Ware spot I think is the most egregious in that there are no possible arguments to defend it. It was definitely piling on. Unsportsmanlike conduct. The refs did it intentionally as a protest of not having full time jobs. On monday, Goodell announcing ten full-time jobs.
Hell they should all get full time paychecks. How much is it worth to the league. Ref’s salaries: Are you kidding??
We unfortunately were the victims of an action by the referees to get full-time jobs. And they won, so we provided an excellent service.
And they were careful not to have us lose because if it.

Adam Rank
If Alex Smith can take down Drew Brees, I’m confident he can do the same to Eli Manning. What’s funny: Everybody is debating the Hall of Fame credentials of Manning — nobody seems to be giving much consideration to what Smith accomplished on Sunday. In fact, he was much more impressive than Manning.
The Giants’ defense controlled and corralled the Packers to move on to the NFC Championship Game. Smith had to lead his team to scoring drives late in the fourth quarter — and he did it twice. Smith’s winning touchdown pass to Vernon Davis was threaded through the smallest of windows.
Many felt the defense was going to carry the 49ers and Smith was just along for the ride. He showed against the Saints he can make the plays to get it done.

Hall of Fame credentials
Still a tad preliminary when the HOF already has too many QB’s and not enought trench guys. But leading teams that beat Brady repeatedly, Favre, and Rodgers we can get rid of the question marks about being among the top QB’s at the moment. But a bit like my sister’s image of me, the world views Eli based on how we was when he was much younger. Unless you have watched this year, you actually don’t know that he is elite.

Let's drop the "seven OCs in seven seasons" mantra...
…Smith has been mediocre his entire career until now. He is now in a system that minimizes his mistakes, and has performed well this year. But he has six years of futility to hang his hat on, and many of the pieces on offense (e.g., Gore, Davis, Crabtree) have been there for a few years now. years.
The SF wideouts don’t strike fear, and the way to beat this team is to make Alex Smith beat you. If we get a good push up front and create havoc, I like our chances…

Smith IS mediocre
Happy for him when he has a good game. Love to see both him and Frank Gore doing well. Mr Gore is not mediocre. He is like Steven Jackson. A potentially all-time great running back forever on teams who never have the lead.

I was thinking the same thing.
When they say the “seven OCs” line and use it as an excuse for his sloppy play it doesn’t make sense. If that were the case then he has a new OC this year so he should be playing poorly. Are they saying that he is a player that needed to go through 6 OC before finding one that made him a good QB? Doesn’t make sense.

I think he's earned more respect than that this year

He’s not flashy, but I agree with Harbaugh: he’s not just a “game manager.”
He reminds me a little bit of Simms when Simms ran what was primarily a running attack. Smith has mental toughness and a defense that can help him out.
He doesn’t have to be Brady or Manning (either one) or Brees to win. Not with this current version of the 9ers.

I don't think the 49ers are anywhere near the offense that GB or ATL are...but their defense helps the ST
a TON. Defense stops alot of elite offenses, and their PR/KRs are awesome. On top of that, they pin you back with Andy Lee and David Akers was insane this year beyond 50 yards. On top of that, they were tied for tops in the league in turnovers, so they do EVERYTHING to help set up their offense in the perfect position. Gore and Davis are tough mudders that can get it in on a short field…
