I don't care about penalties, etc, all the bullshit. Jay Feely needed to make a Field Goal, that is HIS JOB, and he didn't, despite having 3 (2, really) chances. It's his fault.

I'm looking at it this way, there is a "next week". If this was a playoff game, I'd need to get on a plane and take a vacation. Fortunately it wasn't, and we still have a chance to take control of the NFC East next week. Something no Giant fan could have predicted at the start of the season.

Man, the New York Media will be whiney for the next few days, and Sports Media...oh God, imagine the angry death/injury threats from Giants fans:

"Feeley missed 3 kicks! Well, I won't miss my kicks when I beat his ass!"

:p

For most of the season Feely was perfect on his kick attempts, and nailed all his kickoffs deep. He was considered the best thing since Pat Summerall. Now the fans want to string him up at the stadium next week. He blew the game this week, but the fans need to get over it and move on. They can't boo the shit out of him when he comes in for his first kick next week. It will not do anything to help his or the Giants' cause. The morons on one Giants' forum say he shouldn't be allowed on the Giants' flight, and be released. :rolleyes:

Damnit. Idiot me goes to bed early during the 4th of this game. The video will be set for tonights proper game.

Why can't New York teams kick field goals when it matters. :p

Sadly, the kicker gets the spotlight and it's burning REAL bright. It does seem unfair to blast him. How about Petit-goof with his 5 false starts - 11 for the team. They might not have needed a FG if those penalties were eliminated. If, if if...if.

Feely SUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God, what a win . Eli looked pretty shaky, but at least they still pulled it off thank god. If the defense keeps it up, and Barber keeps having a really good season, then the Giants should definetly be headed for the playoffs.


BTW... I still hate Jay Feely

He was great for 10 weeks, and terrible for 2. I don't know what the Giants' options are. He has a mental block now.

I'm just glad the cowgirls lost to the Giants!

Feely is still one of the premiere kickers in FB. He'll get over this mental block. He needs to boot a long one or a game winner, and he'll be over it.


Don Cardi

The only thing that will help him is a good game where he kicks
3 for 3, or 4 for 4.

Did u see Shockey wide open in the end zone the other day against Dallas, and Manning just over throws him!

Just a generic question for NYers. I was wondered how you chose you NY teams to support? In England if we've got two teams for a city the real fans will choose the team which is closer to them. Liverpool, for example, has two teams - Everton and Liverpool and their stadiums are seperated by a park. Whichever side of the park you grow up in decided whether you're blue or red.

But NY play in NJ. I can only assume it's the way you're brought up, your family supports them and that's passed along?

My family had NY Giants' Season Tickets from before I was born, so I really had no choice.

I guess he redeemed himself

I'm writing out the check for playoff tickets right now.

Yes. My dad was a die hard Giants fan and he took me to many games when I was growing up. So I grew up rooting for the GIANTS.

After that game, I'm writing out a check for some heart medication right now!

I already can't wait until next week.

Eli better start playing better. He's been bad too many games lately.

I grew up in the era of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford...so I was a Yankee fan. The Giants and Dodgers were moving to California, so good riddance. Then the Mets came along, but I was the right age to become a Yankee fan; 8-12 years old from 1956-1960, good years for Yankees and Giant fans. The Football Giants played in Yankee stadium at the same time, so the baseball Yankees and football Giants were like a match. My father was a big football fan of the Giants, so that influenced my allegiance. I also liked Frank Gifford; handsome, virile, suave and a good football player.

Mets-Jets go together also since they evolved at about the same time and played in Shea Stadium. Since Shea is on the east side of Manhattan, a lot of folks from that side of NY (Queens and Long Island) are Mets-Jets fans.

It's not that he played that badly yesterday, it's just that when he did make a bad play or mistake, it was a crucial one! So it naturally stands out.

He finished the day 28 of 44 for 312 yards and rushed for a 1-yard score and threw a touchdown pass. The interceptions that he threw were horrible and costly, no question. But his stats were impressive. He needs to, and I believe he will, learn how to cut down on those crucial mistakes. It will come with experience.

He impresses me with his poise on the field and his ability to move up in the pocket at times when he is getting pressure from the backside and around him. His instincts are not something that can be taught. There is no doubt in my mind that this kid is a natural.

Overall the kid, at times, looks like a seasoned veteran and other times he can look like a rookie in training. I think that we forget that he is really still just a kid learning the postition as a pro. IMO he's going to be one of the leagues best in a few more years.

Well said, DC. I concur. Sometimes he has the accuracy of Dave Brown, but you can see the potential developing. We can't possibly know what its like out there. The speed of the game must be incredible to deal with.

I agree he'll be great, and is farther along than I could have hoped for. His accuracy has to improve though, and if the Giants want to go anywhere in the playoffs, he has stop throwing the ball to the other team in crucial situations. The only number that stands out from Sunday is the 3 interceptions thrown late in the ball game.

10 - 4 G-I-A-N-T-S ...................GIANTS!!!!!!!!!


TIKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Don Cardi

Just about clinches it.

Hell Yea GMEN!!

Congrats Giants! I'm so happy for them. I loved it because 3 out of the 4 "experts" in the CBS booth (Dan Marino, Shannon Sharpe and Boomer) ALL picked K.C. to win

Yeah, since no one ever picks a wrong winner. :rolleyes: :p Nice win for the Giants, this means the 'Skins game will have playoff implications, no doubt.

Sure they can be wrong but I think it's pretty funny when not 1 of them picked the Giants. I just like seeing the "experts" be wrong (especially former players)

I'll agree on the experts part, though. There are no experts. Pfft.

It's also always funny to see after the game back in the studio, all the "experts" who said the team would loss, recant their statements and never really "admit" they were wrong or underestimated them.
