Speaking of Banks...what the heck was that last play supposed to be. Even RGIII was standing on the field with his arms out saying "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Or maybe he was saying "KYLE, ARE YOU INSANE?"

I still can't figure out what was supposed to happen...it was a worse-looking play than Zorn's swinging gate. That was just telegraphed. I knew what that play was supposed to look like and so did the Giants...but what was Banks supposed to be doing?

There was half a minute left too...down by only a TD...why now throw the ball down the field a few times? There was no need for a backwards hook and ladder or whatever that was.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

Can we get Smoot in here to expand on this?



LL ‏@HTTR24_7

Coaches should trust him more and get off their "3 year plan".. The kid is progressing at a rate that out paces that plan. Let the kid throw




LL ‏@HTTR24_7

Before you hate on Griff understand that he is being held back, he's not a fan of the option.




If he doesn't want to run it or isn't a fan of it, why the **** are we?...lol I understand wanting to start him off slow, but it appears the kid can handle it so why not roll with him?

Was there with a high school friend that was a lifelong Giants fan, and my son who is a Giant fan, but I was hoping the Skins would change his mind in person, the swinging gate cemented his Giants fandom

I can't help but laugh. All you could do when you saw that play being ran. (twice)

Well, not that you have divulged that tidbit ... I have unlocked the secrets of the universe. It was the last piece I needed to complete my plans of world domination.

Mike better get his shit together and fast.
Sorry I've been on this election the past two days, what have players said about Mike?

Nothing publicly that I have seen. I doubt you'll see a quote attached to a name. Again, I'm just guessing or speculating. Smoot could tell you more than me.
