    cliff--meant to ask you guys this.....how do you look back at the coughlin/manning era as a whole? i mean obviously there are 2 sb's and not many other franchises in history can say that, in that time frame.

    but to me, it's kind of weird in that i never felt they were a dominant team throughout a season. i think they represent the new parity driven nfl more so than any other team in that if you're playing your best football at the end of the year and get in, anything can happen....

    I don't disagree, but I love this era for obvious reasons. Don't need to be the favorites, just win it all. People were calling for Coughlin's head half way through the season the first time they won.

    That said. Those two games are two of my favorite games ever.
    yeah i love that more teams have a chance...but i do long for the days of year in, year out, dominant teams...even if they are teams i don't like because they make for better villains.

    They've had some really good players. But they were either injured or didn't play to their full potential at times. And there were probably a handful of games we lost because our kicker couldn't kick a 30 yarder.
    you know what i mean though, right? like heading into a season, i never looked at the giants like world beaters, but yet they have 2 lombardi's in the last 6 years or so. in contrast, i look back on the parcel days and remember feeling the exact opposite of that era but the result was the same. just think it's weird.

    also--nice move trading your kicker instead of cutting him, so the eagles couldn't have claimed him off waivers. you bastards!
    The year after the first SB they were dominant. But Plaxico had to shoot himself.

    Why Monday? The day we hardly win. And especially when we don't know how long our offense will click?

    Just switched with a guy at work to get tomorrow off. Game starts at midnight here in Ireland and with the normal consumption during a Giants game I wouldn't be fit for work at 8am. LOL

    Let's do this!

    I hate when I miss the first quarter - this parent thing really interferes with important stuff!! Let's go Big Blue!!! Eli - if I believe - you've got to believe!!!!

    How was the offensive line so far? Are they protecting Eli? Well, from what just happened, i'd say no.

    Line obviously doesn't look great. Game started out terribly but got a bit better

    Look at your QB, do what he says, complete passes, hold back the people trying to get to him, perhaps stretch or leap to get a freakin' catch. Sheesh, perhaps be looking in the correct direction when your QB is throwing the ball? Arrgghh. Eli doesn't usually show this much emotion in an entire season.

    Thanks Cliffy, glad I missed the first quarter, less antacid consumption.

    Typical Giants defense giving up 3rd and longs for a first down

    If you have protection and your receivers can't get separation. The Qb won't play well. But it's always Eli's fault.

    Just got home. Listening on the radio. Was that an interception or did it hit the ground first?

    We knew the offense wasn't going to be great. Was hoping the defense would at least step up.

    Brutal. D was good at times, but obviously not a good game on either side. Couldn't stop the run.

    Well, that was not what I was expecting. @-) That was horrendous.

    I still love my Giants and hope they remove their heads from their asses and start playing football next week. And 'work in progress' and 'fine tune' should never be used again. 'Get their shit together' is acceptable. >:P
