NYG Hampton 27

Yeah it was a tough loss GB but it's just week one. A lot of football to go.

 

Good luck this sunday, it's going to be a great game

he was doubtful so I am doubtful he actually sees the field.

Fair point.

 

Might see time like Gronk did in the SB, more as a diversion than a playmaker. Dude is good though, got to keep an eye on him.

No Witten, eh?

I'd go Osi.

 

 

I'll be rockin my authentic Hampton

I guess we're some lucky Mofos to be watching Eli from his Rookie year and into his prime... and God Willing his eventual retirement.

I agree completely, Nas.

JPP is #24 on the list

this post reminds me of awesome.

hahahaha

Chris Canty said he’s impressed by Justin Tuck’s new facemask, but he has something better coming. “I know he’s got the new one,” he said. “I’m waiting to unveil mine … Tuck’s is pretty cool. But I’ll unveil Maximus pretty soon. Maximus is what we’re going to call it.”

Reminds me of Zoolander talking about Magnum.

This. I was hoping he'd be back in just enough time to get his conditioning ready for the regular season. Getting back any earlier than that just needlessly (IMO) exposes him to further injury.

Exactly.

if he's recovered in 4-6 weeks it wouldn't be rushing him back to action.

Right. But for a guy who has yet to play a full season, and who suffered an offseason injury and surgery, I see no reason to get him back ASAP for preseason games.

For goodness sake, don't rush him back to action. Let it heal.

I don't think that's fair to say at all... when people play a game.. at least when I played, I didn't take it easy because it's a mere pick up game... I had my ankle crack when I was tackled from behind by a guy 100+ lbs heavier than me... he heard a pop too.. i was in pain.. limped to the car .. grabbed some tape and taped the fuck out of my ankle... later in the ER i was told it was fractured. This is not to say one person is tougher or what not... I happened to think humans tend to be tougher in general... he was well enough to play...

Ummm yeah. He did play in the game. He didn't do shit in the game because he was hurt and playing against professional athletes in the Super Bowl, not randoms in a pick up game in the park.

Fucked up ankle is a very over-rated injury. Adrenaline makes up for it. I kid you not I played on a fractured ankle.. I finished the game .. a pick up game.. and in the ER it was an "oh shit" moment... I just think he was over-hyped.

Let's be fair here. First off, one ankle injury isn't the same as the next. And, the competition in the Super Bowl was probably a bit stiffer than your pickup game.

 

Gronk is a very good player, and he did not look 100% in the Super Bowl. Whether he is a top 7 player in the league is a different argument, but he did average more than 1 touchdown per game. He's pretty damn good.

Could spin that pretty easily to emphasize his toughness playing on a pretty fucked up ankle. As nice of a play as it was for Chase, let's be a bit more realistic here and agree that Gronk's bum wheel had as much to do with that play as Blackburn. how awesome Chase Blackburn is.

I think that falls on Eli. He is at a level where he should know what plays to run. Especially late in games.

Yes and no. A mid third quarter 'oh shit the clock is running out' when Gilbride is calling the plays, can't be on Eli, at least not entirely. If it's in a hurry up offense, then sure, but it seems to me that Eli only calls the plays on hurry up.

 

But, and I could be wrong, I remember them mostly happening in situations like mid third quarter on a 2nd and 6; where you don't expect it at all.

Niiiiiice

If Tollefson signs elsewhere for a reasonable price tag, because the Giants stuck to vet minimum, it would be a stupid (non)move by Reese.

 

Sorry, but Tollefson and Blackburn should have been re-signed already.....we aren't talking rockstar demands here.

Agreed.

In Tynes I trust.

 

 

 

Plus I want Tothe9ynes to stay on the game thread, haha.

EXCUSE ME? I love Hoge. He gives excellent, condescending commentary and if you were to personify a penis it would look like him. The guy does great work.

Haha, you can see that prick squinting at the cue cards.

Damn. I didn't expect him to leave.

Which is y I find these matchups so intriguing. The thing about 2000 is we ran into a World Beater Defense and let one play spin momentum for the entire game (Phantom Defensive Holding). I still think 07 would win though. Our Oline in 2000 was old as hell and the 07 front 4 would've had a field day against Collins. The issue would've been stopping Tiki Barber.

 

I think 2000 vs. 11 ends up a Shootout with 11 taking the game. Nothing against 2000, but there's no one to match up with the receivers. The 2000 defense would get torched unless Strahan had a career day.

I see where you're coming from.

 

I don't think 07 or 11 would've been able to run on 00, Strahan Armstead Barrow The Hammer would've shut down Bradshaw and Jacobs. Both 07 and 11 running over Collins is a good point. It would really come down to the 00 oline play, with time Collins would be able to pass over these LBers. Tiki would be running a clinic on how to run a screen pass (unless Pierce sniffs it out...hmm).

 

As far as the 11 receivers, I think Sehorn would take out one, but Dave Thomas would get smoked by another. It would be the throw at Dave Thomas Day. Stoutmire and Garnes would be laying down some hits though.

I say just to make it easy we take each team playing their absolute best football.

 

As far as 07 vs 11 defense I think the Dlines are equal, but I think the current secondary is better than 07 because I think Rolle, Phillips and Grant are better than Johnson and Wilson. I remember Pierce and Mitchell but I can't remember who took over after Kiwi went down with the injury so I can't make an assessment.

Everyone at their best?

 

Then '00 might beat both '07 and '11.

 

I mean I don't think '07 or '11 had a game like the 41-0 bashing of the Vikings, granted it was followed up by XXXV...

The fact that Shannon Sharpe gets paid to talk is very humorous to me.

 

I'm a big fan of Siragusa on the sidelines.

 

I don't mind Daryl Johnson either. Baldinger is a pretty cool dude, just seems like a regular guy who loves football, and of course played it professionally, but he never comes off as pretentious, IMO.

 

Merril Hoge is a wanker.

Sign Mario Williams and Osi and send a warning letter to every QB in the league.
