Re: Colts/Giants
 

Was it me or did it look like Pierce was leaning over his linemen trying to hear the calls that Payton was calling out then shifting the D. Did anyone catch Aringtons intro "Double nickles from the scool of hard knocks" I did not see him hit anyone the whole game.

I caught it. What an idiot... so glad he's gone.

why is that being an idiot. Football is a game where you try and get an advantage over the other team. Pierce is a very UNDERRATED MLB in the NFL. He probably prepares more than half the LBs in the NFL. that was he does during film study, he can listen to audibles and call change the D. Thats what a MLB does. I dont see how that makes him an idiot. He played very well for us, should have gone to probowl. He was playing very good for NY last year when he got hurt, and notice how the D started to go to crap after he was hurt.

No, I think he was calling Arrington an idiot not Pierce.

I think Pierce is to defense what Manning is to offense in terms of acumen and that sort of thing. Pierce was trying to jam Peyton's calls and audible over him.

Re: Colts/Giants
 

Some might say that the signing of Mark Brunell factored heavily in not being able to sign Antonio Pierce to a long term contract. Same for Fred Smoot.

Not that I'm trying to start a firestorm with that comment or anything.

:D

Re: Colts/Giants
 

I'd take the Brunell signing over Pierce all day long.

I tell you what was another good [I]non-signing [/I]a lot of us are not totally aware of - Courtney Brown. He's out again with a knee injury. Just think, what two years removed from not signing him, I wonder if a guy like Andre Carter is able to come to DC because we passed C. Brown??

Man, you're not kidding. Courtney Brown -- what a sad-luck case he is.

Incidentally, one of the players I'll be watching closely is Andre Carter. He got zero pressure on anyone in preseason, and with only 4 sacks in San Fran last year, I'm not as optimistic as some are about his signing. We'll see what kind of contribution he'll make with Daniels on the other side.

Re: Colts/Giants
 

[QUOTE=mooby;213574]Well if you shut down the Colts passing game, and force them to beat you by running, we might have a good shot at winning the game.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, GOOD LUCK on that one.

My thoughts:

Giants OLine has improved dramatically. Tiki and Jacobs had a lot of room to run, and Eli wasn't pressured.

The offensive pass interference in the 4th quarter was one of the worst calls of all-time, but they still had 70 yards to go. No guarantee they would have scored. However, the Colts had not been able to stop the Giants all day, so no reason to believe they wouldn't have been able to get into FG range.

The D was an absolute disgrace. You cannot allow a team to covert 11 3rd downs, 4 for more than 10 yards. Lewis should be drawn and quartered.

When Burress scored the TD my first thought was, "they left too much time on the clock." When will these idiot Def Coord's learn they cannot play a prevent when a team has all their time-outs.

Arrington? The whole Mr. Nickels thing just shows he is a moron who has never lived up to his pre-draft hype and needs to do something to get his attention, knee injury or not. I was happy when Shockey said, "The University of Miami" rather than , "the U".

Let's go Vikings!!!!!

Re: Colts/Giants
 

Mr. Nichols from the School of Hard Knocks? Shouldn't you have to make some real plays or stand out from the crowd before you go saying dumb shit like that?

Key word there is "trying." From the looks of it, he didn't accomplish a damned thing. Colts only had 3 penalties for 20 yards - I didn't see a single false start or busted play on the part of the Colts, so I'm not sure what good all Pierce's attempts at disrupting the communication did.

I have a hard time believing anyone on the Colts offense was mistaking Peyton's voice for Pierce's voice - really no confusion at all.

You don't cast any blame toward the questionable acquisition of R.W. McQuarters and Sam Madison (Gramps & Gramps) to shore up the pass defense?

I'd have no reason to expect anything different from those two.

I'll give you the Giants D-line – you've got 3 fearsome defensive ends, (though I do wonder how much Strahan has left at this stage). But come on, McQuarters and Madison?

Why not give Everson Walls a call while you're at it?

Re: Colts/Giants
 

I wasn't crazy about Madison and McQuarters who they seem to only be using as the nickel-back, but I did like the Demps pick-up.

However, they ARE an improvement over Allen and Peterson who were absolute garbage the past 3 years. Then again, that is like saying a guy goes to work one day smelling like horse manure, the next day smells like dog$hit. Does he smell better? Probably. Does he smell good? Hell no.

I think it was more about the soft-zone coverage they called. I can deal with Peyton making plays, but eventually you need to mix up your coverage.

Is there something wrong with that? Manning shifts the offense around when he looks at the defense's formations. It's part of the game.

I hope Marcus Washington directs the D like that too.
