The Giants D has been a joke this year, and Bill Sheridan can't hold Steve Spagnolo's jock strap when it comes to play calling and strategy. As a Giants fan their defensive coaching has been an embarrasment. I now understand why Osi Umenyoria had some conflict with Bill Sheridan, because Bill does not know how to coach and is not a leader. If you're going to make your pro bowl defensive end angry who has no history have having difficulty with coaches, obviously Bill Sheridan is the problem and upper management needs to understand that.

ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio interview with NY Giants QB Eli Manning and Head Coach Coughlin was positive in terms of the young wide receiver corp, but that's how all coaches and players come acoss! Thanks Den.
-Over the final 23 quarters of the season, Manning threw zero touchdown passes to his teammates who play receiver. And that group included veteran Amani Toomer, who has since joined Burress in the category of “former Giant.” On the positive side, both Coach Coughlin and Eli like the fact that you can get more done as a team when players show up and are ready to work hard at practice unlike Plaxico: -“It sends the right message,” Coughlin said. “It tells everybody that every guy is here for the same reason and trying to help our team be as good as it can be. It is very difficult to get that done when we are not here. Guys are here working. You have the older guys sharing with the younger guys. You have that natural process. And obviously you are trying to create the team concept with everything that you do. And to have everyone here certainly helps escalate that.” and -“It’s not exactly like starting over, but we are trying right now to get on the same page,” said Manning. “I’m trying to learn their body language. I’m trying to talk to them on the field and in the huddle and in the meetings, trying to develop chemistry. You don’t want any bad habits to develop.” The projected WR starters are Steve Smith and Domenik Hixon, with Sinorice Moss in the slot. Mario Manningham and David Tyree are in the fourth and fifth spots, while rookies Hakeem Nicks and Ramses Barden ramain at the bottom, for now. Should be a fun and interesting 2009 season finding how Eli & the Kids progress, move the chains and score TD's! Any thoughts?

Well, I am sure everyone is still in shock. What a horrible ending to the game. Despite the overage of penalties and mis-steps, and despite Lawrence Tynes' dumb-ass move, it was pretty damn exciting in the 3rd during a few of those drives - looking like the Giants are supposed to look. Eli was on the ball. Steve, Mario, Nicks, BJ, Ahmad, Boss; some nice play by the Dee from Osi, Tuck, Bruce Johnson and Thomas.
And then... that horrible final SD drive. I blame it on Bill Sheridan for not keeping the communication together on the Dee to rally and close it off. And then to rub salt in our wounds - DALLAS goes on to beat the Eagles. What a HORRIBLE football day! I need a break.

I predict the NY Giants go 10-6 overall playing in the rugged NFC East. This zany NFL fan predicts 13-3:
http://history.giants.com/video/6564848/NFL+Season+Previews%3A+New+York+Giants What do you predict will be the Giants regular season record in 2009? 13-3 and homefield advantage throughout the play-off's the final year of present day Giants stadium would be special. I like the kids confidence!!

After today's last pre-season game Vs the Pats, the NY Giants 2009 regular season game begins next week against Divisional rival Washington. Playing twice against the Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins in the NFC East will make or break the season.
NFL analyst Kirwan likes the Giants the win the brutal NFC East, even without Spags!: http://history.giants.com/video/7342842/Kirwan+says+Cowboys+fans+are+quiet Interesting to me is that Kirwan says he talks to this guy and that, but really, is Mr. Reese, Coach Coughlin, Marty Mornhinwig (Eagles Off Corr) or any other decision maker really going to say anything other than positives thoughts about the D, WR's and Michael Vick going into the season. Excellent analysis by Kirwan comparing Hicks to both A. Boldin and D. Bowe in terms of ability and Rookie production possibilities. Funny, he quoted Bill Parcells when speaking about Tony Romo this season without TO. I agree, Giants will win the NFC East!

Listen to this interview from 2 years ago. The Giants and Falcons have both improved since then to get to where they are today, facing off in 2 weeks:
http://history.giants.com/video/8097089/FOOCH+GIANTS+BLOG+WITH+PAUL+SCHWARTZ+%2810%2F12%29 This interview could almost fit this year's Giants. Coach Coughlin winning "close games" is what the rest of this season is all about. Osi and Strahan stepped up huge 2 years ago, now that the present D line is as healthy as it has been, it's their turn to play like a super unit and as All-Pro's. Special Teams was a slight problem 2 years ago and again today, shore that up, you can do it. A 3rd receiver for Eli, this Big Blue squad needs one. Smith, Boss and then who? Manningham is back and can be that guy. Has Hicks hit the Rookie wall and is Barden still not NFL ready? Moss is mentioned in this interview, could he be the guy who's time is now? The Giants are in a "good position" right now knowing that if they just take it one game at a time, when all the dust settles, a play-off spot is a strong possiblity. Unfortunately, unlike the 2007 NFC, the 2009 Saints and Vikings are pretty scary right now, even Dallas is once again red-hot like 2 years ago. GMen don't focus on anything else but beating the Atlanta Falcons in 2 weeks! |

The Giants host the San Diego Chargers this week. The Giants hope to end their 3 game losing streak. The Giants are favored by 4 points. The Chargers are coming off a win over the Oakland Raiders. We all know what effects the Oakland Raiders had on this Giants team, lets hope same thing happens to the Chargers and the Giants can right themselves heading into the bye week. The Giants and their fans do not want a 5-4 record and four game losing streak to linger through bye week. Some help may be coming defensively has DT/DE Chris Canty and LB Michael Boley are both scheduled to practice this week. Still no word on CB Aaron Ross who has'nt practiced/played at all since season started. Questions abound in Giants land, Can a back to basics philosophy translate too a win on sunday? Will a sense of urgency permeate the Giants locker room and bring about a win? Can the "communication" problems that were mentioned by several defensive players after last weeks loss, get resolved? Can the Giants eliminate the mistakes and turnovers that have plagued them in the last 3 weeks? Can Eli snap out of his funk? Can the Giants rely on the running game to pace the offense and take some pressure off Eli? If the Giants have any hope of a playoff appearance, winning football has to return! This is the week! Go Giants!

I searched the 'Discussion' board and could not find a "Top 10 Giants of All Time" thread. The Giants.com poll about your favorite 2009 Giants player got me to thinking about the history of the team, the many players and the elite Hall of Fame members over the years. Who are the top Ten and where would I put Eli? :)
This Giants fan has one good opinion: http://history.giants.com/video/6351351/Top+10+New+York+Giants+of+All+Time What is your opinion of the top Ten Giants of All Time? Den, GMen, Ali, everybody, let's hear it... LT on top is easy. Is Jacobs worthy of #10 already? I love Carl Banks (Spartan) but not at #5. I am impressed with his ranking of Bavaro at #2! Need some more time to think this over myself will put my list up shortly. Have fun!

Been a while since I last posted a thread but here's one that's interesting. What do you think is the greatest game of all at Giants Stadium and the greatest single play ever. I've been to alot of games somewhere around 200 and from a pure Giants fan point of view the 2000 NFC Championship has to be the greatest game ever played there. Not a very objective choice cause there have been alot of well played very close games throughout the years but from a solely Giants fan pov this was the most complete game I think ever played 34-0 halftime 41-0 final with the season and a trip to the Super Bowl on the line I think says it all.
The greatest play in my opinion is Amani Toomer's 36 yard TD against the then 13-0 Broncos. Even though the Giants were just 4-8 this is one of those moments that seem to define the entire organization and history of the franchise. It's they're 75th season, not much left to play for but pride and finishing .500 (insert cliche here) the Giants play a good game against a great team on they're way to a 2nd consecutive Super Bowl title and in one single play remind us that any one can lose on any sunday(see 07 Patriots) no matter how great they are

What a week to be a NY fan! First the Pinstripers return to the World Series to play the Philadelphia Phillies, after an extended absence; at least for them. Next, NYG gets the opportunity to exact their pound of flesh vs their hated rivals who knocked them out of last year's playoffs. NY Daily News has a good read and reminder of D.McNabb picking up the phone on the Giant sideline and rubbing their underdog win in the face of Big Blue and their home fans. This fan is anxious to see just how determined our guys are to play like that playoff game truly haunted them. Football experts saying to expect more of the same from Eagirls battered defense. Stack the LOS and make NYG qb beat them with his arm. Thankfully, we may not have to face GIANT killer, Brian Westbrook, who is still trying to remember his ABC's after getting whacked and sustaining a concussion. Looking at the injuries, strengths & weaknesses of both teams, and the under/over, perhaps weather permitting, we see a shootout instead of the typical smashmouth, hard hitting games we've come to expect from this rivalry. Let's hope our jolly "green" GIANTS (Beaty, Nicks, Mario and other newbies) are prepared for the magnitude and intensity of this epic battle.......NYG, NYG

OKay kids: see if you can jive with this one. What are some of the funniest, most outrageous, slickest, or coolest stories you have stocked up about an encounter with the Giants?
Example: when I was something like 14 or 15 years old, I was a MAJOR Joe Morris fan. I used to have this poster of Little Joe on the door of my room, and I kept a Joe Morris card in my wallet for superstition during the games and good luck. One day, my dad was playing in a Jaycees basketball game against some of the Giants, including Joe, in my town. There was this little kid sitting behind Joe in the bleachers. I decided to pay the kid off $5.00 so I could sit there instead. I got to chatting with Joe and showed him my card; then a couple times I went up to Offense Defense Football Camp to pick up my brother and connected with Joe. In essense, we became friends. Joe ultimately ended up calling my brother and me when it was time for training camp for a few years, and invited us to come down as his special guests at Fairleigh Dickenson when they practiced there. Joe gave me protective warnings over the years about not falling for any of the guys on the team (cause they were sleezy 20-somethings), he got the '86 team to ALL sign a special plaque for my birthday (maybe it was my graduation), and he also invited my brother and me to sit at his table at LTs restaurant the night they did the Joe Morris retirement party. Special times. I am not really sure where Joe is now, but boy he made this kid feel pretty cool! I bet there are some fun stories amongst us. Care to share?

Hey Giant Fans, let's put down some thoughts about Tony Romo in this thread so we can back up Brandon Jacobs, one of the Giants most popular players, he has some juicy quotes here:
http://www.comcast.net/sports/russakoffrules/30228/plushestoonicetohomelesspeople/ No sense looking past game 1, however, game 2 in Dallas just got amped up a bit more. The Giants D will come ready to play against the Cowboys O and show that Romo is a pocket passer only, right!

It's tough to compare players of different eras, but with that disclaimer, who are the best trio of Giant linebackers that played together? I'm leaning to Taylor, Carson, and Reasons. Anyone have some other great linebacking trios for the Giants?
