It pains me to see them make it to the WS for obvious reasons but they earned it.

It seems as if the Giants were just 100% comfortable with the Boss-man. Reese and company are smart, they had to of known a 6th would never be enough to get Gonzo, especially considering that the owner from KC is a tightwad. The Packers offered him a 3rd and he turned it down and he has a history of being stingy. We never upped the offer of a 6th from what I've read basically in a way saying that they're more than happy with the improvements the Boss-man has made and were never seriously interested to get TG. I know it looks like I'm only saying this now because we didn't get Gonzo but I stated earlier in this thread that I wouldn't have been pissed at all if we didn't get TG.

The matchup that this adds to the Cowboys worries me tbh. As for what they gave up- their 2009 1st, 3rd and 6th round picks for Roy and Detroit's 7th? WOW is all I can say. That's a shit load to give up. Kudos to Detroit on making the move. Roy more than likely wouldn't have re-signed with them after this season and they got a ton for him. It's about time they started making good decisions and I'm not surprised that this happened in the post Millen era.

What the fuck? The Giants played a game last night?

Jacobs is a fucking Mack truck cleverly disguised as an NFL running back!

BOOM MOTHERFUCKER

WIIIIIND

Nice move by Smith.

edit sorry wrong thread I forgot I switched from the gameday thread like 15 minutes ago

Anyone else think Osi was pretty good on the pregame? Anyways GO BLUE *cracks open first beer*

Not sure why we wouldn't do it for a 3rd. We have 2 second round picks next year. A 3rd for one of the best TE's in football who still has 3-4 good years left in him seems fair to me.

This is what happens when people who don't know about our team try to judge us. How many times this off-season did we see that us losing Reggie Torbor was a "significant loss" LOL. No offense to Reggie whatsoever but cmon now. Boss has improved his blocking since last year but you don't hear about that because TE's are mostly judged by receiving statistics. Here's an article written by surprise surprise someone who covers our team on a daily basis, Garafolo. http://www.nj.com/sports/index.ssf/2008/10...ll_finding.html

I don't think so TBH. The Cowboys of the 90's and Niners from the 80's were loaded with talent. It's one more match up for defenses to have to deal with.

I won't be heartbroken at all. If can get him for a nice price I'm all for it but if not oh well we'll still have shit load of draft picks to possibly move up in the draft or make a different trade in the off-season. I still think the Boss-man is the future TE of this team and I'm sure he realizes that. But I will say having a guy like Gonzo at tightend on an already solid offense would give DC's nightmares.

Yeah Reese is probably just starting low with the 6th round offer. At least I hope so because a 6th won't be enough for Gonzo.

Yeah they love the guy. Gonzo to them is like Strahan or LT to us. He's one of the best TE's ever. I feel for those guys.

I saw that too but the poster at the forum said neither team would confirm or deny it. Unless he mis heard it or is lying wouldn't both teams just come out and deny it? You could very well be right though. I think I found the online site of the radio station he was talking about. I'm listening live but they're broadcasting some local college or highschool game right now.

Let me start by saying that this is only a RUMOR and should be taken with a grain of salt considering that big trades rarely happen during the year. It is at the very least worth mentioning though. A chiefs fan from another board I go to posted that he heard that the Giants were talking to KC about trading for Tony Gonzalez at a Chiefs board. I found the board and the topic starter said he heard it on a local radio station and neither the Giants or Chiefs would confirm or deny it. Again, I remain highly skeptical of this happening but I figure I'd post it. link to the aforementioned thread http://www.chiefscoalition.com/Forums/inde...?showtopic=4138

I was realistic about our chances in the playoffs had we made it. It's just the way it ended at Shea. I don't know, '06 and '07 were bad but this just felt worse. Nothing we can do about it now but it's clear some major changes are needed for '09 and not just with the bullpen.

This was the toughest loss I've ever endured. Honestly, it wasn't even that bad immediately after the game but hours later it's starting to sink in. To go from such a high after watching Johan pitch one of the best games ever by a Mets pitcher to what happened today... brutal man. This is worse than last year IMO. It's like having your heart torn out and stomped on. I was so pumped yesterday and today before the game. I can't even watch highlights of the game. This one's gonna sting for a bit. *Cracks open another beer*

Nice post game ceremony. It really really sucks to go out on a loss but what are you gonna do? It was nice to see some of the guys from those 80's and 90's teams I grew up watching. I was a huge Strawberry and Doc fan as a kid. I remember mimicking the Strawman's batting stance when we played sandlot baseball , good times So long Shea, thanks for the memories.

That was still an exciting game. I know I was as loud as I've ever been. It hasn't been pretty lately but hey we're still in it! Big weekend coming up. Go Mets!
