I think us Big Blue, G Men, New York Football Giant, fans should have a new thread. The old one was "The Big Blue Thread" and had 819 posts. Let's start fresh. Let's not rest on the laurels of a Super Bowl Championship. Repeat is hard to do in the NFL.'

I've been a Giant fan since about 1957-58. Frank Gifford was my hero. He could do it all; run, pass, catch and kick if he had to. Charlie Connerly was the QB. The Giants had a long stretch of sucking; mid 60's (Allie Sherman coach, up until Parcells took over and mid 80s saw a resurgence led by LT and Phil Simms.

The Giants can go 2-14 as long as those two are the Cowgirls.

I agree, been a fan since '88, Im a youngin'... I see us going 10-6 prolly bumped in first round, Ahmad Bradshaw already hurt.! And D.Ware gettin the reps in practice, I guess D.Wislon is not ready yet for the reigns.... Who knows... I just hope we smash on the Girls awell, hate them the most....

Did you all see JPP getting in trouble for throwing that corner back in the ice water tub??

Coughlin was mostly pissed at Weatherford (punter) for posting the video.

Coach Coughlin always appears to be pissed, just his demeanour of course!

Yeah he shouldn't of posted that. I was kind of surprised by the fall out from this, you would think much worse stuff goes on behind closed doors. Iv'e played a lot of sports and these kind of things all ways go on, I remember the big thing on our school tours was shaving off people's eyebrows.

Shaving off eyebrows and putting various human bodily waste in either shoes or lockers......

bodily waste? like ear wax and boogers

Nicky,

The media is all over anything that they can make a story about. Like you said, this stuff probably goes on all the time, with every team......just like Prince Harry getting caught frolicking with some babes.

Sports media, especially ESPN, think they are the story, not the atheletes.

Back to the Giants. Left Tackle is a concern now. First string Beatty is out, 2nd string Locklear was a right tackle, he will have to switch over. Getting ready to run Eli!

So true about the media, it makes me sick, they blow everything up, but it was ok when so and so was tied up side down to a goal post with his hair shaved and shaving cream all over it was cool then wasnt it...

But the Left Tackle is a BIG issue for us now, what the hell are we gonna do, Beatty was hurt last yr aswell, and moving Locklear isnt gonna helpus for to long we are gonna have to sign a vet OLINE man quick.. We will see tonight as we get the first dress rehearsel when we play the Bears.....

Very disappointing start; lose to the Cowgirls at home, opening game.

I'll credit the Cowgirls. They did look pretty good. The G-men looked flat. And as I've said for many years. KEVIN GILBRIDE SUCKS! Wow, that offense was offensive. Nice running game. The O-Line looked lost. Unforgivable to have Michael Boleys interception put them 3 yards from a TD and they went backwards for 2 plays.

This could be a long season. More injuries in the D backs. Not good.

I met Kevin Gilbride at Animal Kingdom Lodge in Disney in January, 2002. At the time he was working for a company that was training a large number of college players getting reeady for the upcoming draft. My brother-in-law recognized him passing us in the lobby one night (How does anyone recognize Kevin gilbride in a crowd?), and the following day we saw him poolside, charting offensive drills.

My brother-in-law spoke with him and came back to me telling me that Gilbride wanted to meet me. I wondered why the hell anyone would want to meet me, but my brother-in-law had mentioned to him that I knew Mike Munchak from my home town, and Gilbride spoke more glowingly of him than I had ever heard anyone praise a person before. He described him as the finest player he had ever coached and the finest man he's ever known. He also accurately predicted that he'd be head coaching in the NFL.

Another thing he told me that I hadn't realized was in that epic playoff game where the Bills trailed 35-10 in the third quarter against the Oilers, of whom he was OC at the time, Houston actually had greater time of possession in the second half.

Quite simply, the Giants OL better find a way to block someone , the CB's better start covering people, and Victor Cruz better start concentrating more on football instead of being a celebrity.

Don't hit the panic button yet. I'm not a Giants fan, but they'll finish ahead of the Cowboys in the standings.

Victor is going to look like Salsa if he doesn't get his head in the game.

Kly, will you be panicking when Peyton runs up the score?

Somebody said Osi Umenyiora was playing the other night???

Was he??

I never saw him or heard his name mentioned.....

There were a lot of guys that were invisible Wednesday.

The super D-line....D for Dud. They had 2 sacks and one was from Rocky Bernard. Romo was 22 for 29. I'll bet Coughlin gave out an ass-chewing after that game.

Bucs have a good defense. That O-line better dig in this week.

It was a points fest for sure!

Looking forward to the Giants v. Eagles, Sunday night. Game is in Philly. Eagles have won 5 of last 6. Its time for a thumping of the Eagles. Vick has been fairly stinky; lots of turn overs. These are always grudge matches. Being I live in Eagles territory, I need a big win for braggin' rights.

Reckon Giants can get the win here, don't know what's going on with Vick but he's not going to last the season getting hit like he is, he keeps hesitating under pressure instead of just running the football like he's good at. He's already had some big hits on him in the first 3 games. On the other hand loving Eli at the moment!
Anyone know when we will see a little more of David Wilson?, felt sorry for the kid, he has one fumble and hardly a look in since, he's had all this time just to think about his mistake.

I'm still not talking to MaryCas for starting another Giants thread because my six year old "Big Blue Thread" was the most successful thread I ever created (I don't have much, MC ).

But I'll say this much: Eli is the best second half qurterback in football right now. Bar none.

He could go down as the best 4th Qtr QB ever if he continues to do what he does best.

Maybe our moderator can take this thread and stick it on the end of your thread so then you can talk to me. I must have been crazy that day to do such a thing. Be my friend, Pizzaboy?

I'd have to say that in the same way Coughlin and the Giants seem to have the Patriots' number, Andy reid and the Eagles seem to have the Giants' number.

Sorry, Mary Cas. I was rooting for the Giants because of my wife.

and she must be a wonderful person. Especially to tolerate a Stee (gag sound) ler fan.

BTW, had a few slices of Sabbatini's this weekend. Still the best pizza sauce to come out of a hose.

I actually had some Sabbatini's three weeks ago when passing through the valley. I'm meeting a friend in Old forge later this month and am not yet decided on Revello's Arcaro and Genell, or ghigarelli's.

Oh boy. 49rs on Sunday. The G-men better be ready for this one. The defense has to come alive and show some fire.

Tough, tough game!!

As good as a regular season win today against a great team that you're ever going to see.
