ELI HAS NOTHING TO PROVE TO REAL GIANTS FANS

It,s been awhile since my last post. Actually, its been over a year. But something has finally got me pissed enough to bring me back!

It's the ridiculous notion the Eli Manning somehow has to "prove" he an "elite" NFL quarterback.

Even worse than these retarded statements, is the fact that some Giants fans are getting sucked in by these stories, and are actually believing, and repeating them.

I understand that beat writers have job to write such stories. But, Giants fans, please think for yourself. Don't allow these people to think for you just because they happen to be employed by a newspaper, or they have 18,000 followers on twitter. I promise you, you know just as much about football as they pretend to know.

Back to Eli Manning. Let's get to the facts about this guy, who because he happens to be facing Tom Brady and the New England Patriots this week, has to "prove how elite he is".

This is Eli's 7 season in the NFL. To date, Eli has 24,773 passing yards (two 4,000 yd seasons '09 & '10), 169 TDs, and 118 INTs. His accomplishments, that of which a few hall of fame QBs I can think of would kill for, are as followed; 2008 pro bowl selection, 4 straight seasons of playoff appearances ('05-'08), 2007 Super Bowl winner over an undefeated Patriots team, Super Bowl XLII MVP, and he's an iron man. Eli hasn't missed one start! And as of this 2011 season, Manning in 7 games has passed for 2127 yds (including a career high 420 vs Seattle) putting him on pace for 4800 yds; 13 TDs, and only 5 INTs. On top of all that, the guy that needs to "prove himself" is also clutch. Manning own's the league's best fourth quarter passer rating at 119.3. And there's no other QB this season better at fourth quarter comeback wins.

Fact is, if you're a TRUE Giants fan, you know Eli has nothing to prove in relation to being an ELIte NFL QB. Anybody who says different either wants you to read their links, or is fucking retarded. For me, Eli Manning went beyond the call of duty in only his fourth year in the league. And his elitness only did, and will get greater.

Eli Manning and his New York Giants play Brady, the QB that apparently has nothing to prove, and his Patriots this Sunday. And yes, its been 4 years since Eli beat him and his Patriots to win Super Bowl XLII. But Brady, who has nothing to prove, has been losing Super Bowls, missing playoffs, and been getting stomped out in 1st rounds since '05. Winning or losing this week 9 game against New England WILL NOT make, break, or define Eli Manning's great NFL career. I promise you.

The New York QB Killers Are No.1 In The NFC!

It was sloppy at times for both teams, but the New York Football Giants ended up at the winning end of another Giants vs Cowboys classic on Monday night 41-35.

The final score was 41-35 but by no means was the game that close. The game was easily over with in the 3rd quarter. New York buried Dallas, figuratively AND literally.

Giants killed the Cowboy's season, and like 4 other quarterbacks this season, almost killed Tony Romo! In the second quarter, Giants' linebacker Michael Boley blasted Romo on a blitz that landed him on his left shoulder breaking his collarbone. Teams are going to start hiding their starting QBs when playing the Giants if they keep killing them every week.

With this win over Dallas, New York now has sole possession of the number one spot in the NFC East, and are showing no signs of slowing the momentum. The Giants, as of right now, look to be the best team in the NFC, and maybe the entire NFL.

New York has a their bye next week, then after that, Seattle is on the menu. Someone please pray for Matt Hasselbeck.

BIG BLUE WORLD ORDER, BABY!

Always An Elite Team, Now They're Acting Like It!

Without taking last season into account, was there really any doubt about how good these 2010 Giants could be? OK, maybe a little. But think about it, we beat, and beat-up a Panthers team in week 1, got beat in week 2 by the Colts, who's arguably been the best team in the NFL the last 8 or so years, BEAT OURSELVES in week 3 to a Titans' team that we absolutely should've beat, then rolled on to dominate, offensively and defensivley, our next 3 opponents, the Bears, Texans, & Lions. And If you ask me, the Giants that played weeks 1, most of 3, 4, 5, & 6 are the "real" Giants. Its no accident how good this team has played the majority of this young 2010 season, and it's definately no accident how good the defense is playing.

Sunday's game against the Lions was actually a bit tougher than the 2 game prior. No surprise to me though, I knew the Lions were no push-overs and that the Giants had to prepare for them like they would for any other good team. That's why im extra proud of my New York Giants because according to how their play looked, prepare seems to be exactly what they did. Last season's team most likely would've looked over Detroit and started thinking about Monday night's Cowboys game.

Speaking of the Cowboys, we have them next on the schedule in Dallas, and just like with the Lions, im a little nervous about them. Their 1-4 schedule doesn't make feel any better about playing them. The thing that does make me feel good is having confidence that my Giants will play next Monday night, with the same dominance that they've played with the last 3 weeks.

All In All, Vintage NYG Football!

Over 130 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns, no Bears' touchdowns allowd, only 59 Bears rushing yards allowd, 10 sacks including a record 9 in the first half, two dead Bears QBs, and a 17-3 win, NOW THATS VINTAGE NEW YORK GIANTS FOOTBALL!

The New York Giants' defense played Sunday night the way we Giants fans expect them to play, and maybe a little more. It literally seemed that every time Jay Cutler, or Todd Collins, or whoever that 3rd string QB was (the only remaining living one), went back to pass, a Giants defender was detroying him for a sack. I mean, these were not normal sacks. Everytime one of those Bears QBs got hit, I swear you could see a number 53, 52, 58, 70, 0r 56 on the jersey of the Giants defender standing over their body. It was "80's New York Defense" bad for Chicago!
As a die hard Giants fan, I just want to say, I enjoyed every damn second of it!

The only bad, but totally fixable, spot about Sunday night was the play of Eli Manning, and bradshaw's fumble. Im not going to spend much time on Eli. He just seemed to be kind of off, underthrowing, and overthrowing receivers. Im confident though, that Eli will be in practice this week correcting whatever minor problems he had. Ahmad Bradshaw on the other hand, I swear, for all the good plays he has, he has an absolute shitty one! Its so fucking hard to enjoy his good runs because the entire time he's running, im screaming, "HOLD THE BALL, HOLD THE BALL...DON'T FUMBLE!" The guy is starting to remind me of a young Tiki Barber. Coaches really need work with him about securing the ball the ENTIRE duration of the play.

Other than those two, I think minor problems, the Giants played a great game Sunday night that I think should be a positive sign of good things to come in this early '10 season!

Also, congratulations to the players selected for The Ring Honor! You deserve it!

What Could've Been. What SHOULD'VE Been

30 points! 30 points, AND the win, is what New York should've had Sunday vs Tennessee. The 10 points we actually scored, 2 would be touchdowns that never happened because of an interception that Eli threw deep in the redzone and a fumble by Bradshaw that also occured in the redzone after a great New York Giants drive, and 2 fairly easy missed FGs. Add it up, thats 30 points!

But don't get me wrong, im not upset. The game was actually encouraging, to me at least. Offensively, New York had a total of 471 yards, 364 of which passing. And Defensively, for the most part, the defense was able to keep the league's best RB, Chris Johnson, bottled up for the majority of the game. If only the Giants could've put those 20 points on the board that were negated by stupid turnovers and mental errors, I have no doubt that New York would've won a game that would'nt have even been close.

But, reality is that those turnovers, missed FGs, and countless stupid penalties DID happen, and as a result, my Giants were beat by a team that they are clearly better than. But its early, Skins and Cowgirls are both 1-2 as we are, and we still got plenty of time to correct the mental retardation that was shown Sunday. If the Giants come out Sunday night and play the same way they played against the Titans, but without the stupid mental errors, I have confidence they will beat the Bears easily and everything will be right back on track. It would at least be a positive point to build from.

It's Early, Get It Together!

"Peyton's one the greatest to play this game. He makes almost every defense he plays look bad. We're just having a bad night"

These are all the things I told myself after Sunday night, and for the love of God I hope i'm right!

Even if it was just a case of Peyton being great, for the life of me there's one thing i cant figure out...what the hell's up with our D ends? We supposed to have two "great" defensive ends, but unless we're playing a terrible team, they NEVER FUCKING SHOW UP!

There's Osi, who at one time was considered one of the best ends in the game, and there's Justin Tuck, who I see more on stupid-ass TV commercials than I do in highlight replays on Sundays! You would think that the other lineman would at least get pressure due to these two getting doubled, but of course thats never the case.

I'm not going to spend too much time on this, because the more I type, the more angry I get, and I start to forget why we lost Sunday Night, "Peyton's one the greatest to play this game. He makes almost every defense he plays look bad. We were just having a bad night".

C'mon G-Men, its still early, get this thing together like us real fans know you can!

NFL Opening Sunday: Payback! That Is All.

41-9! That was the score last Dec 27th when the Carolina Panthers beat the Giants in the last football game in old Giants Stadium. As embarrassing as that game was, it really didnt mean much as far as playoffs for either team. Fast forward to Sunday, opening day 2010 season, and its a whole different story, and the game meant a whole lot more.

The New York Giants destroyed the Panthers in the 1st ever regular season NFL game in The New Meadowlands Stadium, and almost killed QB Matt Moore in the process! Overall the Giants looked really good on both sides of the ball. Besides the punting situation, I really didn't see any weaknesses in the team.

Compared to last season, the defense seemed to be 2000% improved. The D looked really good against the run, and with the arrivals of Deon Grant, Antrell Rolle, and the return of Kenny Phillips, the defensive backfield looked to be filled with 2010 all-pros! The only thing that was kind of annoying was the 1st 3 quarters when the D line failed to get any kind of pressure on the QB. But in the 4th quarter, the line got their motors going, and not only pressured Matt Moore, but also knocked him out of game. Needless to say, rookie Jimmy Clausen just about got himself killed as well. He did nothing.

Despite a slow start, Manning and the Giants' offense looked great! Eli completed 20 of 30 passes for 263 yards and 3 TDs. He also threw 3 picks, but none were his fault AT ALL! They were all results of players letting the ball deflect off their hands and not catching them. Hakeem Nicks, who was the recipient of all 3 TD catches, caught 4 balls for 75 yards, and Mario Manningham had 4 grabs for 85 yards.

So overall, The Giants had a good, dominating game. They got payback against the Panthers in a game that will surely matter, and the defense actually looked like a defense.

So i'd say today was a good day for the Giants, and us fans.

If our G-men can stay healthy and play the rest of the season like they played on Sunday Night...lets just say our future can look mighty "Super"!
