AP out with neck injury

 

 

Out indefinitely.  Blackburn may be starting in his place.Blckburn's solid, dependable, slow, but physically, IMO, a step or two above AP.  Will he be able to call D signals?  Adequately, I should think.  He's been around for a while.  We'll be seeing more of the young guys for sure.  I guess Boley will start ar OLB?   I know a lot of BBVers wanted to see less of AP, but I don't think anyone wanted to see it happen this way.

What are the chances...

what do you think the chances are of the Giants completing all five of these ideas...?

  1) beating Atlanta this week,

  2) winning in Denver (regardless the traveling saga),

  3) winning 2 of 3 out of the three consecutive division games to begin the December season (Dal.,Phi.,Wsh),

  4) beating favre at the end of the regular season,

  5) and finally surviving the playoffs, making the superbowl as a result!?

   100-85% (very good chance)

    84- 70% (its a possibility)

    69-50%  (hmm...not so much)

    49-20%  (it would be a miracle)

    19-0%  (it cant happen AT ALL)

BBV week 11 pool

The hot hand for the second week in a row is from G-Brit. Let's bring this thing back stateside, G-Fans in America!

Seriously, though, G-Brit is on a tear with a record like 88-3 in the last 2 weeks, and got all 5 of his hot hand picks correct last week. So this is probably worth a good look:

Locks of the week
 
ARI at STL: ARI. As hard as the Rams played the Saints, it does not get any easier with the Cards coming to town. 
 
CIN at OAK: CIN. No doubt no one wants to play the Bengals now, and they are unbeaten on the road facing what must be a very demoralized Raiders team.
 
Hard to call
 
MIA at CAR: CAR. Both teams run the ball and both could struggle to stop it. I will take the Panthers as Delhomme, yes Delhomme, is less turnover prone than Henne.
 
SF at GB: GB. Which GB team turns up? Will the 49ers have any offense? Take the Packers in a low scoring game.
 
Upset special

The only game that stands out as an upset is TEN at HOU: TEN. The Titans are hot at the moment and the Texans have not taken their game to the next level. Something about Vince Young and Houston at the back of my mind - but I cannot remember what.
 
Cheers

 

Week 10 results:

13-2: G-Brit

Ask The Falcoholic!

I come before you a broken fan.

The biggest story coming into next weekend's game might be where we find ourselves at this moment. Before the season started, I have to think you guys were favorites to win the NFC. We were supposed to be a chippy Wild Card contender through the entire year. Now we're likely battling it out for a wild card, and if the Falcons lose we're in big trouble.

So I'm coming over to answer any questions you have about the stupid Falcons, who are coming off their worst loss of the year against the Panthers. Do you want to know why Matt Ryan is slumping? How long Michael Turner will be out with an ankle injury? What kind of beer I drink to forget the fact that we just lost to a team that employs Jake Delhomme as its quarterback? Ask away!

Also, if you could please recommend this post so it stays up top for those asking questions, that would be great. Thanks.

Glimmers of Hope


We all know what a difference 4 weeks make. The roller coaster that has been our season can turn out to be a fun ride afterall, though. Here's why:

I never would've though that Carolina would edge out Atlanta today; I never would've thought Tennessee would CRUSH Buffalo today; I never would've thought St. Louis would give New Orleans the run that they did today; I never would've imagined that Washington would beat Denver; and I surely wouldn't have given Cincinatti the nod over Pittsburgh.

My thinking may be skewed in all of these situations, I'll give you that. Maybe I am not the NFL-cyphering guru  that many here are.

And yet, these unthinkable things, however mighty or small, have happened.

There's hope for us yet. Now let's get healthy and play to win instead of playing not to lose.

3-4?

The 3-4 is the new defense in the NFL. the Steelers, Ravens cowboys and chargers have all been using it for a while for a big amount of sucess. Denver and and others used it this offseason with good results. I think it will help bring pressure. The only position that we would need is possibly NT but i think the Steelers NT is a FA after this season and maybe we could steal him or maybe trade for Cleveland's Shaun Rodgers.

Whoah


First time I've seen THIS. I believe it could compete with...well, I will have to plead the 5th, other than to say: Dayum lol...take a gander and let me know what you think. At least this will provide a break during the bye.

We oughta make some kind of calendar, and if you think about it, have all the chicks wearing NYG blue, and it would be so easy to name it - "The Big Blue View"

Should we be resting Bradshaw?

For the first part of the season Ahmad Bradshaw was blowing up defences and Jacobs was starting slow, but now Jacobs has improved and Bradshaw's production is dropping. It seems that Bradshaw's injured foot/ankle is hindering his performance and he might need a rest for a while. At the very least we should start to limit his carries a bit. Jacobs is playing well and is getting fewer carries, which I think we can all agree needs to change. My question for you guys though is: Should we be resting Bradshaw when his productivity isn't at the level we had come to expect?

Poll
How should we handle Bradshaw's injury?
