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"!
