Fracture in his fibula.

Literally.

Not to apologize for Whitfield, he had a terrible game; but on the other hand, he was coming in cold mid-game against the best defense in the league. That's a tough situation for anybody, and he has covered for Pettigout pretty well in the other times he's needed to. Let's see how he does next week before we form a mob.

I remember that play. That was a mugging.

Normally, I back up Coughlin. But this was a horribly managed game. Even with the typical 2:00 to halftime lull (which is turning into a disturbing trend, by the way), we were more than in this thing. Until that field goal "attempt," we had momentum. With Feely being so damn erratic this season, how do you even consider a 52 yarder at that point in the game, in that weather? Hell, even with a long pass and int, you would have probably left them in worse field position, let along given away a touchdown. And I don't just blame Coughlin for that--Sweatman is supposed to be one of the best coaches in the league for special teams--why were they taken so off-guard? Tiki hurt his hand, and you still don't bring in Jacobs? Come on...that's just freakin' careless. You don't need to punish Jacobs for a bullshit call--I don't think pretending you're pregnant can reasonably be considered "taunting." That was mild compared to what other players do, and don't get flagged for. If Whitfield was having trouble on passing downs (and there's no doubt he was), does it take a Nobel-Laureate to figure out that you use Seubert as a TE on that side? I mean, rumor has it that he might be a pretty good blocking TE... Oh well, on to Jacksonville. Maybe we can borrow the Texans uniforms for that one.

Did Toomer go on IR yet? Sorry, I'm losing track. Awasome came on and we cut Goddard, right? If so, this makes a little more sense, since this would be a replacement for Arrington? I'm asking this because that would still leave us a spot for WR. I'm not at all comfortable with Carter's brittleness and him getting more playing time.

Me turn down reading a good, absurd flame war? Never.

He was pretty good in pre-season, but this is kind of a wierd decision considering the WR situation.

Yeah, there was no originality, no technique. No sense of the surreal. And even the interesting topics were turned into the same thing. Come on, I'd take 1 good "Booyah really thinks he's the king" thread than 20 "eli isn't any good" threads.

Activity dropped because it was early summer. The "activity" before then was flamewars, not Giants discussion.

I include me in "we all" as well. And Robbins is playing off any expectation I had for him. I actually wanted to get rid of him!

The funny part is how we were all panicking about defensive tackle, thinking we were all set at defensive end.

Chicago: Players are responsible for cattle mutilations in Wyoming; they are the real cause of the Chicago fire; and they have a a penchant for pinching the necks of baby bunnies until their heads pop off. The owners are known for drinking the blood of babies, in order to preserve immortality. (Yes, I've heard the rumors about the Tisch family--but those have never been substantiated.) Their coaches eat bugs. Live ones. With lots of legs. Giants: Players share 5 Nobel prizes among them. On their off days, they research cures for disease, and fight injustice. The owners have achieved absolute enlightenment; and are now capable of levitation. Have been known in the past to raise the dead, and cure blindness with a word. Our coaches eat bugs too, but they are properly prepared, and have all the legs removed. The referees, of course, are gremlins that will as usual crawl out of the muck of peat bogs to create havoc. I like our chances.

Let's see if it works before I commit. If it works, I won't need to be threatened.

The Giants remain unbeaten after their bye. (Happy Rik?)

I would have been nice if he would have waited to see if he was actually playing Sunday. I guess his next remark is going to be "Tim Carter said he's going to kick every Chicago CB's ass!"

He was injured his senior year, and the guy that originally did the surgery messed it up. So he was never really at 100% while he was here. Oh, and

I figured anger to be a running theme the last day or two.

A Link Relevent passage: Discuss angrily.

I wish I was selling the liquor...

wins 1925-1991: ~429 (I did the addition in my head at 7 AM--I take no responsibility) Yes, the giants can win without Strahan. Or did I misunderstand the question? Other uninteresting irrelevent factoids: The Giants have never lost outside of a stadium. We remain undefeated on bye weeks. We've never lost to a team whose name begins with an "X," although we have to share parking with a shopping center which will have the name "Xanadu." How naming a shopping center "Xanadu" didn't spill the beans about McGreevey, I'll never know...I mean, come on, shopping mall? Olivia Newton-John reference? He may as well have hired a totally unqualified Israeli stud-muffin as the head of state homeland security... We've remain undefeated against teams whose mascot is a rodent. I didn't even have to look those last four up. Cower at my amazing statistical skills.

They're ok as a rushing team, averaging 104 yds/game. At least, according to this site. Aren't they also a between the tackles kind of running team? Hope so, since that would be running directly into the healthy part of the D. I'm still a little concerned about their passing game. Their tight end is no slouch, and Muhammid and Davis can still do some damage. And let's face it, if we don't get some pass rush this week, our secondary is going to be exposed again. Still, I think we can take them. The offense is just going to have to carry the load this game. Teams are averaging 3.9 yds/rush on them, so as long as they don't jump out ahead of us, we could probably run on them all day. Especially when you consider that rushing defense has been up against such rushing power-houses such as Detroit, Arizona, Miami and Buffalo; all ranked 21st or lower in rushing rankings.

Chicago is still beatable. We're going strength against strength (our offense vs. their defense) here. Besides, they'll probably lose Berrian for the game with his broken rib. Come on, they lost against Miami, and if Arizona could have had any sort of running game, the Bears would have the same record as we do. Seasons don't fear the Reaper, nor do the wind or the summer rain.

(and then people wonder why I don't have a screen name over there.)

We won. We're 6-2, and have a chance of taking over home-field from Chicago next week, thanks to their loss. We won our trap, they lost theirs. And yet no one calls for Lovie's head.
