  1. no we will get a chance to see the most dynamic offense ever except the team will be the saints not the giants. and the quarterback will be brees not manning, with colsten, horn, henderson, copper, reggie and deuce. with a much better offensive line :rolleyes:

    Good one! :clap::LMAO:

  2. I don't know you BBA but you sure put out some questionable stuff. First, you use an article that's at least 4 years old to suggest that Luke will be back sooner and now this. I sure hope you're not pulling this stuff out of your ass.

    Regardless of whether the article was from 4 years ago;

     

    The purpose was to search for players who had similar injuries to the one the Luke has and the timeframe it took them to come back.

  3. Unfortunately we might have to wait till next year. The sad part is, I always knew something was wrong. How can an offense, with the potentiall to put up 40 points per game, with all the stars and weapons we possess - struggle week in and week out?

     

    Sad part is, if Tiki does retire,we will neevr see what could have been one of the most dynamic offenses of our time.

  4. Oakland cornerback Tory James will be back in the starting lineup for the Raiders this week.

     

    With four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Woodson out after undergoing surgery to repair a broken fibula in his right leg, the Raiders need every available body for their regular season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs.

     

    James started the first 13 games of the year but hasn't played since Dec. 12 when he had his own leg surgery. Like Woodson, James had a cracked right fibula and underwent a 45-minute operation to have a stabilizing plate inserted into his leg.

     

    James practiced this week for the first time since having the procedure and has been given the go-ahead to play against the Chiefs.

     

    "He's ready to go and he's cleared to play," Raiders coach Bill Callahan said. "He looked good. In terms of knowing if he's ready to go, does he appear like he's the same as he was (before the surgery)? It appears that he is, yes."

     

    James originally injured himself during Oakland's 26-20 win over the New York Jets on Dec. 2, though the full extent of the damage wasn't discovered until later. He needed a painkilling injection to make it through the Raiders' game against San Diego the following week before X-rays revealed the cracked fibula.

     

    Team doctors who performed the surgery on James originally estimated he could be sidelined 1-to-3 weeks but he was back on the field after just 12 days. Even James himself was surprised at his quick recovery.

     

    "They said it would be between one to three weeks and that didn't seem right to me," said James, who is second on the Raiders with four interceptions. "But they were right on. I'm amazed."

     

    The Raiders were so impressed with James' speedy recovery that they convinced Woodson to have a similar operation. Oakland's hopes are that Woodson, who has already missed six games this season, will be able to return in the playoffs.

     

    James said he could have played during the Raiders' win over Denver but said the extra time off helped.

     

    "At no time did I think I would miss the whole season and the playoffs," James said. "I knew I'd be back out there. I felt like if I really had to play (against the Broncos) I could have played but I didn't have to."

     

     

     

     

    WTF!!!!! 12 days? :confused:

  5. Woodson has surgery on broken leg

     

     

    ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -- Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson had surgery Tuesday to repair his fractured right fibula and will miss the regular-season finale against Kansas City.

     

    Woodson also could miss the first two weeks of the playoffs. Woodson had a surgery similar to that of teammate Tory James, who also broke his right fibula this year. James had surgery Dec. 12 and returned to practice Tuesday for the first time. He was originally slated to be sidelined from one-to-three weeks.

     

    Coach Bill Callahan said the decision for Woodson to have surgery was made in the hopes of getting the four-time Pro Bowler back at some point in the playoffs.

     

     

    3 weeks? I'd be happy to get Pettigout back in 5!!!!! :TU:

  6. Anyone looking to ditch Eli Manning needs meds - here's why. : Beez : 11/13/06 10:09 AM

    Two words: Phil Simms.

     

    In no way am I saying they're the same player. No, in fact I think that Eli Manning can be (read again: CAN be) a better quarterback in the NFL than Simms was. Those of you - and there is an astounding number (baffling ... baffling) who are throwing No. 10 under a bus after his horrible game last night - who are giving up on Eli Manning remind me of the guy a couple years ago who kept announcing he was going to go root for a winner - the Tennessee Titans. Pappy something-or-other. Maybe this is worse.

     

    I sat there last night listening to a woman bellow, ad nauseum, "PUT IN HASSELBECK! HE CAN'T DO ANY WORSE!" This was with the score 31-20 with plenty of time left. She was right in thinking Manning was stinking up the joint. Don't misunderstand this post to mean I think he can do no wrong. The man has work to do.

     

    But for those of you with short memories, or who are simply not old enough to recall Phil Simms as more than a very good color commentator and "an old-timer," I offer this, stolen from one site (can't recall which - I scanned several):

     

    In 1984, after 6 (SIX, PEOPLE!) years of injuries and a less than stellar offensive supporting cast, Simms finally emerges as a team offensive leader. He passed for 4,044 yards and 22 touchdown passes and lead the Giants to a playoff berth. The next year, he passed for 3,829 yards and 22 touchdown passes and lead the Giants to 10 victories, the most for a Giants team since 1963. In 1986, he passed for 3,487 yards and 21 touchdown passes in a memorable season for the Giants as they won 14 games.

     

    I think Eli Manning has as much or more raw ability than Phil Simms had, coming in, and even with Manning's mistakes and learning curve, he's still just 2 (TWO, PEOPLE!) seasons into what I strongly believe will be an excellent career.

     

    A couple things that have been beaten to death since last night, and a couple that haven't. First, you cannot discount the HUGE impact of losing Luke last night, nor can you lightly toss aside the loss of a clutch veteran like Amani Toomer, having one of his best seasons in a very nice career. We all watched up until last week as Manning looked for Toomer when he needed to get out of trouble. Toomer's replacement(s) is/are simply not as good. We can only hope Whitfield can step in and blend into the line, doing a serviceable job, maybe with some help from No. 69, who, as we all know, IS ELIGIBLE! On top of that, we can pray for a swift emergence of the slippery rookie WR, which would add a new dimension, as we also can cross our fingers regarding Tyree and Carter playing well enough.

     

    Another factor some are forgetting as they rip the crap out of a quarterback with a workmanlike, quiet demeanor is that THIS IS EXACTLY the type of player Simms was. He showed a little more fire at times, perhaps, but he led by example. Simms made mistakes, he got rattled and he had bad football games. In fact, his completion percentages were fairly low (low- to mid-50s) over the long haul. But Simms was a weight room warrior and he became a stronger man, physically, over the years, and this past off-season, we all heard about Manning's regimen in the film room, and in the weight room. Training camp proved the physical side of it, as Manning looked noticeably larger/stronger. Because of what he's shown so far, I expect that to continue through the years.

     

    And I sat in that shyte last night, and for at least a third of the game, it rained ... while for the rest, the wind swirled and it was soggy, overall. Simms took years to work through the challenges of that stadium in inclement weather. Surely Eli needs work in that department.

     

    Look, he stunk it up last night, and some of those throws were all on him. Some weren't. I trust, from what I've seen of this kid so far, that he'll shrug it off, come back and continue to have solid games. Will he be perfect? Hell no. But for those of you calling for a benching, or a Schaub FA pickup ... or maybe a public lynching, you really need to see your family physician as soon as possible. They make medications that should be able to help you immediately.

     

     

    Great post.......

  7. Hmm... nope, don't remember that one. And I've been a fan since 1982.

    And Phil never sucked this bad.

    If you don't remember that, then you're not as much of a fan as you thought you were.

     

     

    And yes, Simms sucked REAL bad at one point.

  8. To put together a mix-tape of evry sulk and pout that Eli, Plax, and anyone else on the team has displayed on the Field. A nice 2 hour blend of non-stop sulking...sulk..sulk...sulk. Then make mad copies and send it to every one in the Giants organization to see how FUCKING EMBARASSING and WEAK it looks when we act like pansies on the playing field.

     

    If I would have sulked in my playing days, he coaches would have grabbed me by my facemask and dragged me across the field.

     

    I can live with the occasional off day, but Eli, please. After an INT or occasional bad play, CLAP your Fuckin hands and get ready for the next possesion with confidence!

  9. Anyone remember the Voltron clucthing the Cowboys pic? (Bledsoe and Julius Jones)

     

     

    Does anyne have it? If so, please post. And secondly, it would be nice for any of you photo shop freaks to replace Bledsoe with Romo. :LMAO:
