Giants 2011-2012 Season In Review, Week 2: Giants 28, Rams 16

This was the game bradford torched them for big, big plays and 330-yard day. I came away extremely frustrated with the way the giants played.

The rams settled for field goals in the red zone and had a turnover on downs in the red zone as well. They arguably outplayed the giants. The Giants could barely get a 1st round or sustain any drives but they somehow had a 28-9 lead. It was pretty incredible. One of the worst, worst feelings I’ve had from a Giants win in a long time.

The middle of the field and intermediate defense was absolutely ATROCIOUS in this game as was Aaron Ross. Watching the defensive film of this game tells just how much of a huge difference Chase Blackburn made in his return. If only the Giants signed him the week Goff went down..

I had to adamantly defend A. Ross, asking everyone, how the heck is he supposed to cover a WR when he is 10 yards off the LOS.

I remember he started out 2-11 but then the rest of the game (as mentioned by Mr. Valentine) and the rest of the season he was, as we all know now, ELIte

From BTB…..

On a personal level, I have long felt that the Giants are the luckiest teams in sports and 2011 was certainly no exception. The Giants finished with a positive variance for the seventh year in a row. The next closest teams are the Cardinals with four consecutive years and the Saints with three consecutive years. Only once in the last ten years (2004) did the Giants have a negative variance. The Giants are lucky on a metaphysical level that transcends rational numbers. And please spare me all that motivational-poster-nonsense about how “luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity” or some other overused cliché like that./blockquote>

and the Kudos and WW thread very well

my comments speak for themselves.

All well and good but… too bad David Carr looked like sh*t in the preseason and would of been a huge downgrade.

for predicting Cruz’s breakout game against the eagles the next game

he looked much better last night
he may have a bigger role come sunday.. cause of injuries of course

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Giants go DT. Rocky Bernard and Jimmy Kennedy are free agents. Marvin Austin is now 3 years removed from playing meaningful football. Martin Parker is signed through 2014 but he’s a UDFA who hasn’t played.

The Giants would be one injury to Canty or Linval from being screwed.

that’s the only defensive (or ST) TD for the Giants in the last 2 years.
