Colts/Giants

[mooby]

I'm kinda disappointed that this wasn't a shootout between the Colts and Giants, i wanted to see some big plays and high scoring. Instead, both Mannings looked pretty average, nothing special.

Colts were decimated with injuries. I wonder how they plan on getting by with zero running capability.

They had Rhodes and Addai, which were supposed to be their top two backs. I don't think many linemen were injured either, so their running game can't be blamed on injury.

Maybe I watched a different game than most of you, but I thought both teams looked pretty good on offense. Indy has no running game, but so what...they still have Harrison, Clark, and Wayne. They put up the scores necessary to win. Tiki looked unstoppable and Eli, other than the one really bad pick and average at best clock management, looked pretty solid. I wouldn't want to face either one of these teams right now, but that's just me.

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.

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!!!!!

Peyton Manning reminds me of a politician right now.

[MightyJoeGibbs]

Listen to Peyton spread this bologna about Eli. America knows the truth and who ever was crying about the Manning Bowl Hype well have a seat and enjoy Giants are 0-1. F*** yea

I've had enough of the Manning hype for one day, I'm going to bed.

Well, with Peyton, it'd not hype. Eli's praise is all as fake as Velveeta "cheese" though.

[MightyJoeGibbs]

Me too, but Im having sweet dreams tonite, holla

Colts are going nowhere this year. Where's the D? They'll lose their first game of the playoffs yet again.

Giants should've won today, given how piss poor the Colts run defense was - shot themselves in the foot with penalties. Brandon Jacobs is a monster.

Mr Nichols from the school of hard knocks was a non-factor today, but then again, so was Freeny. Is Freeny playing injured or something? You could've called him Mrs Petitgout tonight.

I noticed and called this last year as well - I can understand players demanding noise from the crowd, but there is somethign pathetic about a head football coach motioning for the crowd to get loud? Could you see Tuna, Gibbs, or Reid, or any other head coach do this?

I lied about going to bed....Mr. Nichols?? What was that bullshit about? Just proves, LaVar is more into himself than he was leading on. I think he had one or two tackles tonight. Good luck with Mr. Nichols Giants fans!

The DoubleNichols, school of hard knocks, I thought was pretty funny. I know you think its because of login name, but if it was someone else I would have thought it was just as funny. Those guys, always try to come up with something that if there own. Some one started the "U" thing, then its "the" infront of every school now. then its giving their High School some cred. I have no problem with guys trying to be original or funny when introducing themselves.

I thought physically, #55 looked pretty good. He got some pressure here and there, and was cover Dallas a lot, pretty much all night when he was on the field. I went to bed, not sure what kind of stats Dallas had other than the TD catch, when Stahan was covering him (what the hell was that about)

I still think the O has the ability to put some points up. The D will get better for G-men over time. they have a new secondary and a couple new LBs. as the year goes on, thats the team we are going to be trying to beat out for the division.

OK Giants looked so-so. They showed some flashes and clearly have some play makers. The season is on the D and Manning. Barber, Burress,Shockey will get the job done when needed. Didn't hear LA's name much tonight. I guess he didn't get hurt so there was no reason to talk about him.

As for the Colts. Color me unimpressed. No running game against what is not really a stingy run D and the Colts D looked like sh*t. Let's be honest if their D is like that they'll win 10 games with a 12 win offense. Sad. Manning can't do it all.
