Talk is cheap. Play the game.

Well, this is it. No more talking, no more prognosticating, no more pontificating, no more nothing. Super Bowl Sunday is at hand.
I’m not going to go into any detailed analysis here–we’ve all seen, read, and heard enough about how these two teams match up in the last two weeks, and nothing I would say here […]

Dead calm

The Saturday before the Super Bowl is usually very quiet, except for the odd arrest or misadventure of a key player the night before the big game. (Remember Stanley Wilson of the Bengals?)
Anyway, the teams are having their final practices today, which should be nothing more than a walk-through and some final film sessions. Obviously, […]

What’s wrong with Plax?

We need this like we need a hole in the head…
Reports indicate that Plaxico Burress’ left knee is swollen and sore, and he has missed two straight practices (Wednesday and yesterday).
Of course, Plax has been dealing with right ankle problems all season long that has caused him to miss the majority of practices, so on […]

So what does Big Blue have to do to win this game?

It’s now Thursday, and we can pretty much surmise that both the Giants and the Patriots are putting their game plans in place for this Sunday’s game. This is when things start getting really serious and we’ll see the talk die down and the strategizing begin.
With the Giants being the decided underdog, it’s going to […]

Plax makes his pick

I’m not sure it’s on the same level as Joe Namath’s guarantee of a Jet win against the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, but Plaxico Burress has come out and made his Super Bowl prediction and, as one would guess, he picks Giants to beat the Patriots by a score of 23-17.
Now, of course, […]

Giants beat Dolphins. Badly.

Everyone is so worried about overconfidence and overlooking the underdog. Eh. The Dolphins suck. That is a proven fact. Their fans are not optimistic. Best aspect of the forthcoming game is the trip to London. The football part is not exciting at all. The GMen are going to destroy the fishes. Ronnie Brown is out […]

Opening night was a disaster with Eli Manning, Brandon Jacobs, and Osi Umenyiora all getting hurt. The defense was pathetic. the offense put up points, but it was too little too late. Then came the loss to Green Bay, where the defense was even worse. At 0-2, the Giants were headed towards 2-14 and the […]

Giants on the brink of NFC superiority?

Posted by giants

October 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment

This season is a weird one so far. Last weekend, the Giants played poorly in the first half before turning it on against the Jets, getting a big play from Plaxico, some help from the defense, and finally a 3 game winning streak after the season appeared to be spiraling down the drain. Ever since […]

Goal Line Stand!

September 26, 2007 | 1 Comment

Things have improved dramatically. The worst defense in the league rose to the challenge of stopping another team, and with an assist from the Washington Redskins inexperienced signal caller Jason Campbell (and perhaps some confusing writing on page 684 of offensive coordinator Al Saunders’s playbook) the Giants survived and won a game. The 0-16 nightmare […]
