This has Coughlin's thumbprints all over it He pushed out Tiki, Toomer, Shockey, and now Burress......also refused to even consider bringing back Strahan when Osi went down Coughlin has now gotten rid of anyone who had the audacity to speak back to him He is THE KING........we'll see how the king does now that he has gotten all he asked for. Bellicheck operates under pretty much the same atmosphere and thrives so we'll see......Bellicheck also has Brady

I did say the 2007 SB may have been a fluke.......we seem to have hit a crossroads I meant a fluke in terms of a 4-5 year run as a SB participant We could not sustain our momentum last year.....if we do not regain it this year history will judge this era of the Giants as johnny one note

IF Plaxico is available, we draft an impact LBer, and Sheridan dials up an agressive D I think its possible. Pierce has become an unbearable liability on the field, especially in pass coverage. We also need to see accuracy improvement from Eli, and some of those young WRs to step up. Tuck and Osi must be 100% If Danny Ware is as good in the regular season as he was in last pre-season (where I thought he looked like a #1) that would also help immensely. I also think we need an experienced saavy vet at WR, not so much to play as to help coach the young guys on the sidelines. Ideally Toomer signs for a pay cut, and plays his last year as a Giant. We are still a top 5 team, and from that starting point anything is possible. You can argue last years team got derailed by injuries but good team can overcome a few injuries........we didn't.

ohhhhhhh thats cold

I read that 80% of those in his situation just got probation, and perhaps community service (that alone could be a problem for Plaxico)......hes a first offender with no criminal intent (he shot himself)......these are routinely reduced to a lesser offense and no jail time despite Bloombergs campaign

What exactly did Amani say anyway? I missed all that in my coma over our 4 losses in 5 games

Dallas could easlily have beaten us the year we won the SB......it was a very tight game Neither team is as good as they were 2 yrs ago. Minus Burress, Mitchell, Wilson, Ward, Toomer......and a laundry list of others we are not as good right now as the SB team 15 months ago in my opinion I hope Jerry drafts a LBer that can come right in and play......our Jerry, not Dallas's

Bergen Record today calling for Giants to rid themselves of Burress Their contention is he will only screw up again if this is dismissed.......I'm not happy about Burress attitude but come on this is entertainment, not a church service Imagine if all public figures with a crime conviction were banned from the public eye......it would be a much smaller talent pool As long as he is a free man, and complies with team rules, and performs on the field- I would like him to remain on the team If he continues to defy team rules the fines should get stiff, very stiff.......ultimately he must be replaced unless he truly redeems himself. Right now we need his WR capability to compete at the highest level. He is a very good WR, and very entertaining. I can't forget Vince Lombardi's statement to a player who despite a $1000 fine broke curfew and slipped out at night. Vince raised it to $5000 (a lot of money in 1960) and told the culprit that if he still wanted to slip out at that price, to call him and he would party with him. The guy was Max McGee who went on to win the MVP of the SB that year. Personally, I would advise Burress to hire a couple of good body guards and not carry his own weapon if he feels that threatened.......or stay home. His gun handling capabilities (all legal issues aside) seem pretty weak....if someone did approach him Plaxico is more likely to shoot himself than anyone else.....the "Barney Fife" of gunslingers LOL I have a feeling if we release Burress he will wind up in DC playing for the Skins.

I'd like to see the NFL Champs play the College All stars in the 1st pre-season game at Canton Ohio before the regular pre-season slate starts Then go 18 regular games, and 3 pre season games ......

Ok granted Wilson got ridiculous money but as it worked out it was not the long term payoff he thought it would be Mitchell signed for $5 million as I recall.......he was worth 5

I don't think so......Toomer like the rest of the Giants did not have their best year Toomer has come back from the dead before. He brings a vet savvy that we really need in that young receiver corp I heard the Giants would not bring him back due to comments he made after the Philly game......that ridiculous but typical Coughlin-esse Coughy does his nice guy act unil he has a chance to ban you for good......then he is unforgiving

I was watching the SB run today on NFL network Amani was a big reason for winning the Lombardi, especially in the Dallas game. By the way Canty looked awesome in that game, as did "gulp" Strahan, and Mitchell. Also Strahan was much bigger in 2007 than when he slimmed down to 250 for the ladies in 2005/6....Skinny Mike was horrible......... 270 lb Mike was a load and a terror Canty is going to make Dallas much worse and us much better up the middle. He is very tall, and makes opposing QBs pass around him......hes also a sure tackler Too bad we let Wilson and Mitchell go........big mistakes....they were pivotal that year. I also heard the NFL thinks we will be vulnerable this year on D......they look at this as a learning year for Sheridan, and hope to out maneuver us while he learns to call plays Mitchell was directing defensive allignments often in the Dallas game.....I never noticed that part of his contribution in the one too short year he was with us.....when you think about it Mitchell brought a lot to that 2007 team, and he played his best ball ever.....he might have known more than anyone on the Giants that year that was his one shot at a ring. Mitchell, Wilson, Osi and Strahan brought a defensive physical presense we lacked in 2008. Kiwi is a fast player but a little slim in the waist. My other observation was what a good QB Eli was down that stretch, and also Romo.......say what you want but Romo is a pro bowl QB, and not the reason Dallas can't get over the hump......its other factors that deny them glory I fully expect Dallas to reload this year and give us fits

Yes guys like Ron Dayne??? LOL Rocky Thompson??? This guy might be the exception....I would take him- Darrius Heyward-Bey Is he Ironhead's son? does anyone know?

Not only was it the last game Poor Mark Gastineau graciously attended the game and was dumbfounded by the farce in the 59th minute Mark was speechless, and embarrassed.....all caught on camera the whole thing smelled should have been taken away by whoever in the league approves these records

I don think WR's,QBs and RBs are credible coming out of college ......you really cannot judge their college book of work to well Joe Montana was drafted inthe 5th round, Johnny U in the 6th Lineman and LBers are much easier to grade coming out........this is why a lot of teams do not like to get top 10 picks and trade down in the draft....they trade them away, or go for the beefier players besides we need a LBer over any other position Our mangement team will do the right thing.....they usually do

any WR in the draft is a krap shoot they run the ball in college its not the same game...... best we draft LB, OTin 1st and take care of WR RB in later rounds we ned to draft 2 LBers, 2 WRs and a saftey

I did......the passing game was dreadful without Burress.......bad

i read that in the record this morning i hope Osi is right he admitted his information as hearsay evidence though bloomberg has stated he wants to lock up Plaxico and throw away the key who knows........whatever we needed him badly last year, and I for one was surprised no one could step up and fill his shoes

who said anything about the starters I've been asking for Diehl at LT since Flinch had about 5 offsides before halftime one Monday night a ways back people assured me Pettiflinch was our "best" OT Really good grief if he was our best how bad was our worst to Lukes defense though he was being paid enormous money and had a terrible disk problem in his back......he played in a lot of pain The Giants should have paid off his contract and sent him home

thanks for the trip down memory lane admittedly mine is sputtering as I age Eli's a good kid, a good QB, and knows how to keep his mouth shut When you think about it Eli, Ben and Rivers were the best 3 to come out together in 40-50 years I'd like to see Eli improve his spiral and accuracy this year.....He also tends to blow hot and cold.......hes still learning the position but doing well

my point was Kurt Warner was doing well The giants should have waited a bit longer before pulling the plug As I recall Eli was running for his life the second half of that season

Wow you are so right i did say that Apologies on that one.........Tuck was so strong that day we could have won with Britiney Spears at MLBer I still think Rivers was the pick of that crop, but Eli aint so bad......hes actually good and has some rope to improve yet as for Warner I think he had us at about at 5-0 before he had a bad game so the could rush wunderkind into the battle

We do,and Deihl is just fine but we have no depth We need O-line rotation like we have on the D line

Palmer is irrelevant now let it go. Weren't you one of the guys jumping all over HOF QB Kurt Warner's bones as a NY Giants QB? enough said about your QB picks I would guess your now going to tell me Eli is better than Warner..... LOL......please save it...... HAHA LOL Ben, Rivers, and Kurt all better QBs than Eli who is decent, but not great.....we can win with Eli but it takes a tremendous supporting cast, and btw we even won with Pegleg patrolling the middle so anything is possible if your team is that strong

So I'll tak that as a NO he was not given a fair shot in meaningful games Dan Reeves once said you cannot evaluate an NFL QB until he has played 3-4 "meaningful games" in the NFL. We'll never know how Jesse would have done.......so let it go I have the 3-4 sorry ax games Jessie played the giants played to lose......the funny part was Palmer almost won one of those games single handed and that must have really pixxed off Giants Management as they drove for Manning draft status The sad part, as it was they had to trade away a ton to get Manning anyway and would have been better off to just keep Rivers who they drafted and traded seriously what would you rather have had River and Merriman, plus all the other draft choices we gave up.....or Eli....
