    Unfortunately yes.....its called cross marketing....its why 5 of the last 6 Super Bowl half time acts have been all about drawing vags to the game:

     

    Lady Gaga

    Coldplay

    Katy Perry

    Bruno Mars (who is cool)

    Beynounce

    Madonna

     

    C. Wagon

     

     

    If you where to choose a food that most closely tastes like vagina what would that food be?

  2. The O-line is being scapegoated. Eli has been awful. The O-line cost the Giants a couple of times, but aren't completely to blame for the past 3 losses. They were very, very good against Minnesota, for exampl

     

     

    Right and game planning on quick ball release doesn't help the line out at all. The oline sucks and it without a doubt makes it harder for the QB. Throw on top of that the complete lack of disciple this team has = crap

  3.  

    I hear you but the team is built around the pass. That's their identity. They knew they were going to have to win the game through the air, that team is stellar against the run. They had chances and they didn't come through.

     

    You can just repost this for the rest of the season after each game. Cause nothing is gonna change.

     

    You can't have a passing game without an oline despite with Jerry Reese thinks.

  4. McAdoo is a clown.

    This team is a complete and total joke. The oline stinks.the 200 milion dollar defense can't pressure the QB. PLayers running there mouths in the press. Players acting completely inappropriate in the locker room.

     

    When it looks like a rat smells like a rat...it's a rat.

     

    Mara has personally turned this franchise into a pile of garbage.

    Game Preview: Washington Redskins at New York Giants, September 25, 2016

    THE STORYLINE:

    This is a big game. Going up 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the NFC East this early would put the Giants in the early driver seat for the division title. The Redskins are the defending NFC East Champions and we’ve seen what happens when the Giants and their fans take the Redskins too lightly (see last year’s game in Landover, Maryland). The Redskins season teeters on the brink as losing would give them a 0-3 record and a 0-2 division record. Expect their best effort.

    THE INJURY REPORT:

    • RB Rashad Jennings (thumb) – questionable
    • RT Marshall Newhouse (calf) – out
    • DE Olivier Vernon (wrist) – probable
    • DT Robert Thomas (illness) – out
    • FS Darian Thompson (foot) – out

    NEW YORK GIANTS ON OFFENSE:

    The Washington Redskins are struggling on defense, currently ranked 28th overall (21st against the pass, 27th against the run). Their defensive line is mediocre at best and the secondary has had issues. That said, there are some match-up concerns for the Giants in this game. The Redskins operate a 3-4 defense but they will switch things up quite a bit with various packages. With Marshall Newhouse out, expect the Redskins to try to isolate their best pass rusher – Ryan Kerrigan (who has given the Giants problems in the past) – on Bobby Hart or Will Beatty. Preston Smith and Trent Murhpy are two other LB/DE ‘tweeners who can rush the passer.

    The Giants will likely attack the Redskins with a balanced attack, employing an equal amount of running and passing plays. Jennings’ left thumb injury is a concern as the Giants have had issues holding onto the football. The team has one solid rushing game and one poor effort so it will be interesting to see how the team is able to run the ball against a Washington defensive front that has had problems.

    What we have seen through the first two games is that Ben McAdoo is heavily relying on the Eli Manning to Odell Beckham-Sterling Shepard-Victor Cruz trio. There has been talk all week about Beckham versus Josh Norman, who is clearly Washington’s best defensive back. Norman did not shadow Cowboys’ wide receiver Dez Bryant last week but there has been some reporting that he will shadow Beckham in this contest. The Giants can’t and won’t get caught up with these concerns. Beckham is talented enough to beat any cornerback in the NFL and the Giants can exploit the other defensive backs in the secondary with any of their top three receivers.

    What the Giants do need to stop doing is turning the football over. That hasn’t cost them yet, but it will if it continues. They have four turnovers in first two games. They also need to get back to their Week 1 success in the redzone.

    NEW YORK GIANTS ON DEFENSE:

    On paper, this looks like a good match-up for the Giants. Much of the success of the Redskins offense is based on their ability to run the football. While they are currently ranked 25th in rushing in terms of yards per game, Washington is 6th in the NFL in yards-per-carry (4.7). If the Giants can duplicate their early season success in stopping the run, that will place a lot more pressure on QB Kirk Cousins, who has been shaky thus far. Cousins has had some rough moments against the Giants and the Giants are due for some turnovers (none so far despite a far more athletic, aggressive, and talented defense).

    That all said, while the Cowboys get all of the attention in the division for their offensive line, the Redskins have a pretty darn strong group as well. The Men in Blue up front had better not take them lightly. Matt Jones is a very talented running back and the Giants need to keep him in check. Much of the Skins offense is also centered around play-action – look for a heavy dose of that as Washington tries to sucker the Giants young and aggressive safeties. Landon Collins and Nat Berhe are going to be on the spot.

    Cousins is a strange quarterback. At times he looks terrible, at other times he looks amazing. While he has justly been criticized for a rough start (1 touchdown, 3 interceptions), he still is completing an outstanding 65 percent of his passes. Cousins tends to throw more underneath (hence his higher completion percentage) and when he throws farther down field, he tends to get into trouble. That said, the Redskins have some very dangerous outside weapons including DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon, and Jamison Crowder. There will be a temptation by the cornerbacks to sit on the shorter stuff, but they need to be very careful of the occasional deep shots. In addition, Washington will employ bubble screens to the wideouts so the corners will have to be aggressive in countering that. Tight end Jordan Reed is an exceptional receiving tight end who has giving the Giants fits.

    The game plan is obvious. Stop the run. Get after Cousins and force him to make bad decisions.

    NEW YORK GIANTS ON SPECIAL TEAMS:

    The added talent and athleticism on the Giants roster is starting to translate to special teams. For example, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Janoris Jenkins are a threat on every field goal attempt. What the Giants need to clean up is their punt coverage (kickoff coverage – knock on wood – has been good so far). Dwayne Harris is due to break one.

    FROM THE COACH’S MOUTH:

    Steve Spagnuolo on the safety position: “Yeah, it’s getting to be a concern. We’ll miss Darian Thompson. He kind of communicated back there and kind of glues things together. Landon’s just got to step up and help out the guy that’s next to him, whether it’s Nat Berhe or whoever it is. But, we’re getting thin at safety.”

    THE FINAL WORD:

    This is a game that a Tom Coughlin team (circa 2012-15) would lose. It scares the heck out of me because this is probably the Redskins season. Meanwhile, the Giants have been feeling good about themselves and talking a bit too much trash for my taste this week. The Giants are the better team, but if they don’t match the Redskins intensity, they will lose.

     

    I can't call it. My gut says giants win my heart says they will revert back to losing the close one with play peppered with BS turnovers and a poor oline

  6. Reports say McAdoo had to chastise the team for not practicing hard on Wednesday, and now we have Cruz and Norman going at it... plus everyone is picking the Giants. Let's not forget how many three-and-outs we had against that terrible Dallas defense.

     

    This has the makings of a team that reads its own press clippings and is feeling a little too good about eeking out a one point win vs a rookie QB last week. Giants come back to earth this week.

     

    Saints 41

    Giants 28

    I can't argue against this but IMO the match ups favor the Giants and jury's out on the chemistry of this team. Last week says things are off the norm. MAYBE...HOPE...PLEASE.....

  7. Giants 31 NO 28

     

    Some players want payback from last year. The ones that where here. NO not impressive on both sides of the ball

     

    I think this article is spot on.

     

    Game Preview: New Orleans Saints at New York Giants, September 18, 2016

    THE STORYLINE:
    The opening day victory against the Dallas Cowboys was huge. The obvious goal now is to get off to a 2-0 start by winning the home opener against a team that has given the Giants issues in recent years. Steve Spagnuolo and his defensive unit were humiliated last season as the Saints put up 52 points against New York. That marked yet another game where the Giants struggled on defense against an elite quarterback, in this case Drew Brees, who has had some of his best games of his career against the Giants. Enter Olivier Vernon, Damon Harrison, Janoris Jenkins, Eli Apple, and Darian Thompson. We’re about to find out how much things have really changed on the defensive side of the ball.

    THE INJURY REPORT:

    • DE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder) – questionable
    • DE Olivier Vernon (wrist) – probable
    • DT Robert Thomas (illness) – out

    NEW YORK GIANTS ON OFFENSE:
    The Saints are going to put points on the board. So will the Giants. The traditional ways to approach this game are to either (1) slow the game down, maintain possession, and keep the Saints explosive offense off the field; or (2) be aggressive against a terrible defense and beat the Saints at their own up-tempo game. In the dome in New Orleans last year, the Giants got into a shootout and Eli Manning threw six touchdown passes – yet the Giants lost. But now the defense is improved. So the temptation will be to attack, attack, attack against a weak cornerback group that just lost its best player. That said, Ben McAdoo also has to like what he saw out of his ground game against Dallas last week combined with the possibility of wet weather on Sunday.

     

    The 4-3 Saints defense is not good. They lack talent at all three levels. But they do have some strength down the middle with ex-Lion Nick Fairley at defensive tackle, ex-Ram James Laurinaitis at middle linebacker, and Kenny Vaccaro and Jairus Byrd at safety. Right defensive end Cameron Jordan is a very good player. We’ll get a far better read on Ereck Flowers this week. This is a match-up that could be a problem for the Giants. I’d be tempted to shift a tight end over there to help out Flowers. The cornerback situation for the Saints is a mess. Their best corner – Delvin Breaux – is out and all they are left with are no-names with little experience.

     

    If I’m the Saints, I play it safe on defense, give up the underneath plays, and force the Giants to drive the field without making mistakes (penalties, negative yardage plays, turnovers). If they aggressively challenge Eli Manning, I think Odell Beckham, Sterling Sheppard, and Victor Cruz will eat them alive with big plays down the field (assuming the weather cooperates). But if the Saints play off with more defenders in coverage, like I suspect, then Manning will have to be patient and the ground game will have to produce. And like against the Cowboys, the Giants need to score touchdowns rather than field goals in the red zone. My guess is this is a game where Shane Vereen could possibly thrive as a runner and receiver. I think the short pass to him will be there all day long.

     

    NEW YORK GIANTS ON DEFENSE:
    Drew Brees loves playing the Giants. But historically this Saints team is not the same on the road as it is at home, including against the Giants (see Giants 52-27 win in 2012 at the Meadowlands). And the 2016 New York Giants defense is not the 2015 version. Brees and the Saints are going to score. The key is to limit the damage. New Orleans is very, very good at converting on 3rd down and keeping drives alive. Again, weather could play a factor here too.

     

    Brees is the heart-and-soul of the offense. He makes it go. They key is pressure him, make him uncomfortable, without leaving gaping holes in the secondary for him to exploit (like last year’s game in New Orleans). I would not send a lot of blitzes but rely on the front four to apply pressure, and often utilizing the Nascar package when the down-and-distance enable the Giants to do so. This is a game where ends Olivier Vernon and Jason Pierre-Paul can really make a difference. Brees is not a scrambler. The Giants can pin their ears back and get after him. Now the risk obviously is that Saints cross up the Giants with a heavy dose of running back Mark Ingram, but that’s a risk they are probably willing to take. The thought here is Damon Harrison and Johnathan Hankins can hold down the fort and limit the damage.

    The Giants do match up well on the back end because of their corners. Janoris Jenkins seems to have the ideal skill set versus the quick and speedy WR Brandin Cooks. I’d use Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Eli Apple to take out the other wideouts – Willie Sneed and Michael Thomas. The Saints will probably try to free up Cooks by moving him to the slot quite a bit. Ex-Colt tight end Coby Fleener was added in the offseason, but so far he has not produced as expected. Still, given the Giants poor history of defending tight ends in recent years, the defense needs to account for him.

     

    NEW YORK GIANTS ON SPECIAL TEAMS:
    The Saints have good coverage teams and Ben McAdoo has voiced his concern that the Saints will take some chances with trick plays on special teams. Josh Brown returns from suspension and a butt-load of negative media. It will be interesting to see how he responds.

     

    FROM THE COACH’S MOUTH:

    Ben McAdoo on Saints DE Cameron Jordan: “Jordan is a guy that is a very talented player, as well. He’s a guy that can wreck a game and destroy a game. We have to make sure we’re aware of where he is. He’ll line up in multiple spots.”

     

    THE FINAL WORD:
    Many Giants fans are gun-shy of the Saints because of recent history when playing them down in New Orleans. But the Giants match-up extremely well with the Saints on both sides of the ball. Look for the Giants to win by at least 10 points.

     

     

     

  8. There's literally zero downside to signing Beatty

     

    And multiple teams wanted him on a vet min deal, he called Jerry Reese at the final hour and they hashed away the past.

     

    Multiple teams wanted him....LMAO he was released in February...He's a stop gap days before the season starts. How this could be considered anything other than an act of desperation....holy cow....

     

    I want some of what you're smoking.

  9. There are two things this offensive line has going going it this year.

     

    The Giants defense looks much improved, and the NFC east doesn't look super competitive.

     

    Other than that I don't see an upside. No matter what plug and play players they pick up from the trash heap.

     

    Giants.com keeps spinning that Pugh has more an impact on continuity that most think. Says when he gets in flowers play will improve.

  10. The starting unit ran 29 plays, and none of them were contested further than the Giants' own 46-yard line.

    In eight series, the Giants' first-team offense ...

     

    • Scored zero points.

     

    • Ran 29 plays for a total of 61 yards. That's 2.1 yards-per-play.

     

    • Rushed the ball 13 times for six yards. That's 0.46 yards-per-carry.

     

    • Had three first downs.

     

    • Saw Eli Manning get knocked around frequently.

     

    • Finished each series with a punt, one of which was blocked.

     

    And those numbers, as jarring as they are, feel somewhat inadequate in describing just how poor the Giants were offensively.

    Giants offense thus far S-T-I-N-K-S

     

    Let the spin begin.

  11. Howard Cross has been saying that they went after "five high profile" FA's for the oline three went back to their prospective teams (basically used the Giants offer sheets as leverage) and the other two retired. So Reese's plan of fixing the line was dashed.

     

    They keep (giants kickoff live podcast crew) saying that they almost won X games and that the upgrades on the defense and Skill players on Offense will make them a better team (above .500).

     

    I for one am old school you START WITH THE LINES....

     

    But hey I'm just some moron posting on a message board.

     

    I want to be positive about this team but after last weekends game I can;t help but think same BS different year.
