Not looking good for the migets.

Hate to be debbie downer but until we actually BEAT the Giants I won't talk

Re: Giants CB likely out for season with torn ACL vs Bears preseason MNF game.
 

I wonder how many teams that had player lead workouts during the stike/lockout have had season ending injuries. I know the migets didn't have good attendance. That could have something todo with it.

Sorry......you all is wrong.

I have to agree Okie. We have been down this road before with looking at an injury plagued intradivisional rival(mostly the Gmen to date) and we still lose. I think this is way beyond bad for the Gmen though, but if we don't have our own A game ready, we might get burnt.

Totally!
I am SOOO ready to kick their ass ALL over the field....but until...

Re: Giants CB likely out for season with torn ACL vs Bears preseason MNF game.
 

The Giants game week one will be a great one, now that we weren't expected to be that good, but have gotten better, and they had a loaded team which just lost their starting CB, DT, and DE. Add to that their most reliable 3rd down receiver, and their starting TE, we now have their Run Stuffing DT, and they don't have a good LBing core, and have a reshuffled OLine, I think it should be a good close game.

Same here. It seems that every year the Giants go through a phase when it seems that all is lost for them and that Coughlin's job is on the line, etc., etc., etc., and all of the sudden they pull a playoff run out of nowhere.

True. Although lately the Giants seem to be the victims of freak injuries that cost them a lot of key players.

My neighbor across the street, big Giants fan from NJ...he's depressed and the season hasn't even started. :D

As long as they have Eli Manning, Hakeem Nicks, and Mario Manningham I wouldn't suggest reading their obituary. It should be a battle nonetheless.

2 things,1) I've noticed that the first game of the season is always a battle. 2) it's not where you are at the start but at the finish that matters.

[quote=rbanerjee23;825966]I have a tough time believing that -- the only real dominating presence in our front 7 right now is Rak IMO whereas the blue men have Tuck, Osi, Kiwanuka, and Canty.[/quote]

By the way, Kinwanuka is returning from IR with a herniated disc injury and we know Osi hasn't been up to par due to knee injuries. Tuck and Canty are beasts.

I thought you were going to say "... and then they play Washington."

We've been a struggling team's best bounce-back opponent for far too long. I agree though -- beating the Giants will be a great barometer to determine how far we've come.

Re: Giants CB likely out for season with torn ACL vs Bears preseason MNF game.
 

I think the Skins have to win their first two games 1) Giansts 2) Cards to be taken seriously.

Well I think the key for the Giants will be what kind of reciever Nicks turns out to be.

The truth is the Giants havent had a real wide reciever threat since Plaxico shot himself in the leg. The Giants are a competely different team when they have a tall wide receiver who can get open for Manning.

Re: Giants CB likely out for season with torn ACL vs Bears preseason MNF game.
 

Nicks is already more of a beast than Plaxico ever was for them.

He came from NJ...he should be ecstatic about his new neighborhood. :)

Neighbors on the OTHER side are new implants from NJ too, but Eagles fans. 3 houses right there...Skins, Giants and Eagles...I'm conflicted. Should be fun during the season though.

Re: Giants CB likely out for season with torn ACL vs Bears preseason MNF game.
 

G-Men are having a tough preseason.

[quote=Mattyk;829122]Nicks is already more of a beast than Plaxico ever was for them.[/quote]

Nicks has potential to be more of a beast than Plaxico but Nicks has dropped a lot of passes that he should have caught in his 1st 2 seasons and has been out with sporadic injuries (he missed 3 games last year do to various injuries).

Also Nicks is 4 inches shorter than Plaxico. Manning's money play was always throwing a jump ball to Plaxico in one on one situations knowing that the taller Plaxico would either come down with the ball or draw a pass interference penaly. He used to do this all the time in goaline situations. I think the loss of Plaxico has been part of the Giants problem in the redzone over the last couple of years.

[quote=TheSmurfs22;829139]G-Men are having a tough preseason.[/quote]

And it was made worst by the hurricane. They played the Jets on Monday and have another pre season game on Thursday vs New England.

The 3 day turnaround has totally screwed up their practice schedule and Tom Coughlin has made it clear that he will rest all his starters on for the NE game.

So I'm sure all those Pats fans who paid full price for tixs to this preseason game will love watching the Giants 3rd stringers play.

Nope, Pax although one hell of a big target wasn't the super target most people claim he was ,the man drops as many balls as anyone and as Sanchez is beginning to find out ...he runs crappy routs.
the Giants biggest problem the last couple of years ...luck,or lack of it ...injuries have killed the Giants, 2 years ago it was the D-line ,last year the wideouts and O-line men...this year so far Corners.Eveyteam has to deal with them and the Giants don't deal with them well.
