Eli Manning Game winning TD

 

That was great!

Ditto. A lot of good ones up there, but that was great. I remember my son and I jumpin like crazy. We pissed the neighbors off!

...Can't get to their games,being that I live in NY,but I go to Yankee games and Giant games,so it's all good.

I still make it back home time to time, go to Yankee games when I do. Only been to a few GMen games in the past 10 years or so, but go to the game when they play the Cards here!

The Suns are amazing. I love watchin them. I go to alot of thier games, its a blast!

This is a real good signing, esp. at that price. We have so mnay weapons on offense now, that your 3rd and 4th rec's arent gonna get alot of balls thrown thier way. Plus, he's been injured. My concern w/ him is staying healthy, more than dropped balls or anything. He hasnt had enough playing time to be consistent. With his speed, if he can play more, he'll be a great deep threat.

Tikis's the man. period.

...Good!

I second that!

I hope it doesnt affect his play. Not only is he a beloved Yankee, he's on my fantasy!!

See, think you both have a point. If its in the 1st round, I see a close game with us losing. If we're healthy. But if we make it past Carolina, and get to the 2nd round, Eli has a playoff game under his belt, the teams emotion is peaked. I say we win a close one 24-21.

The giants signing an aging 34 yr old demented personality is

rolling the dice and praying that it works out.

 

He is little TO ! Doesnt have the impact or the mouth but can

be a real pain in the ass and also very productive on the field.

 

BUT the Giants need a DT and OLB getting a 3rd WR to use

along with all the other weapons that we have should not

be such a pressing need!

 

If you have been around long enough you understand that the

 

GIANTS = DEFENSE if we are to return to greatness again

 

then we need to forget about another play maker on offense

 

and put together the best dam defense se can !!

 

 

Selfish players dont belong on this team !!!

 

Sign Grady Jackson DT and draft the best LB's and defensive players!

Totally agreed.

If the Giants sign Keyshawn, do they need to keeep Plaxico? I don't think so. They could trade Plaxico for a draft choice and draft and/or sign a speedster. Keyshawn is Plaxico with hands and toughness.

No way, Plax is tough, they're basically the same.

Keyshawn is enticing, makes the O even more powerful, but its not our pressing need. I say Jackson, or Arrington.

He takes us to the SB and he can keep his 12 Mil

EXAACCTLY.......

Same thing year after year, Yanks 1st, Sux 2nd. Its no big mystery.

GO YANKEES!!

I'd love to have him back on the Yanks, but Cano's upside is bigger, he's much younger.

I took Vidro on my fantasy team, because I thought this might happen.

I'm in the process of dropping Timlin for Jeremy Bonderman. Timlin holds little value in this league because Foulke will get the saves. I might trade away Foulke as well, as I have a lot of Boston players and I try not to load up on players from 1 team.

Whats everyone think?

Not bad, got some power and decent pitching. Deciding on how Bomderman will do. I picked up Vidro in mine cause I knew Soriano would have problems.

So, is the question if the Giants played the bears in the first round of the playoffs last season, both squads 100 % healthy who would win? If thats the question, the Bears would win. Carolinas D ate us alive, as much as I love Eli, he was bad in that game, Chicago's D was beter than Carolinas, so I gotta believe Eli would have looked just as bad even with a healthy Shockey. The score would have been much closer because Carolinas O was more prolific than Chicago's and we had terrible matchups on D.

 

The final score would have been somewhere around 10-0 or 10-3 in favor of the Bears. Now this year should be different, Eli has alot more experience and I have heard the possibility that he was affected by the elbow strain he suffered in pre season (ofcourse that could very well be an excuse for his sub par play down the stretch), and we have some key additions.

Yes, that is the question.

Hard to say: The Bears led the league in 3 and out (for a playoff team) and IF the Giants put together a short passing attack featuring Tiki as a reciever, the Bears would get beat. No doubt in my mind the short passing attack would set up Plax long...and if we'd scored first, Bears are done!

 

Last year, the Giants were a slightly better team (before all of our injuries).

This is the assesment I agree with most.

Here's my roster, I was 5th pick out of 8:

C- Jorge Posada

1B-Derek Lee

Ability is one thing, which Plax certainly has, however, TO always runs his routes fully, you have to give him credit for that. In fact, him and TO are opposites in that manner.

LMAO!!

Frerotte rammin his head, that was so funny!

I'm thrilled we have all this strength in the secondary so that they can tackle the running backs who run through our paper mache defensive front.

Our run defense was good last year,it was our Pass D that stunk. Whats wrong with our front?

josh is going to be a stud mark my words....kid as all the talent in the world.

I agree, I keep tellin people here in AZ. they let the wrong one get away.

I didnt see it, but Tiki is very articulate, and Im sure he did fine.

Sam is going to play safety? What did we get Demps for?

hehe...I just realized I switched those 2 around.

You know what I mean. :brooding:

I still think our team is more solid than those other two, granted the additions work out. With Gibril and Sam as safeties, im fine with that. I just need to see that Demps is healthy, and Will Pete, and Im not worried about TO, Moss, etc.
