SilverDragonSoun Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Giants sure looked good and they came out of that brutal 6 game stretch 4-2. They are playing as well as anyone right now. Will be interesting to see how they fare against da Bears. The Giants schedule is brutal they only have a few give me games the rest of the way.

ProfD Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 The NYG are the the dominant NFC East team right now--hands down. Both the Skins and Cows have 2 major problems--QB. On the Cards, I have always viewed them as perennial losers. It must be the uniform, stadium, crowd, etc. They will take a step in the right direction once the OL is fixed.

Garrafon Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Personally, I just thought it was fun seeing TO drop such an important pass Of course, a Big Blue stomping of the Cowgirls never hurts either. The G-Men do have to worry about some injuries coming out of last night's game. That's NOT good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game of the day had to be Hines Ward though.. 8 caches, 171 yards, and 3 TD's. That run for 60 plus yards, half of them with with one shoe on!! Great stuff! Yeah, that's gotta be the most exciting offensive game of the year so far. Hines running in his sock - yeah, baby! Sadly, though, I fear that this game was a harbinger of concussions to come (and a very short career) for Big Ben. The Black Knight always triumphs!

Magpel Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Yes, losing Arrington, just as we starting to make plays, does suck. Especially since "the late" Carlos Emmons never seems ready to play. So far, knock on wood, the Giants haven't been hit that hard by injuries. I haven't heard anyone say that Osi's injury is that serious. We'll see.

Dan South Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Originally posted by antimatter: Good win for the Giants. Quite a difference from the Seattle game. I was a little surprised Dallas went to Romo at the half. Clearly that last pass Bledsoe threw was awful, but I don't know about pulling him there. I know it was a cumulative thing, but the game was still winable at that point; and maybe you let Bledsoe finish the game. Just what they need more controversy. That has to be a Jerry Jones bonehead move. I think Bill's hands are tied at this point. Jerry hates Bledsoe and want to start the Tony Romo era, pronto. In the middle of a nationally televised, critically important division game was not the time. Parcells would not have made that move had his hand not been forced. The decision lacked class, and Parcells doesn't. The Black Knight always triumphs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jones is trying to run the show again, which is one of the reasons Jimmy Johnson left. Not to mention that they needed a room the size of Texas Stadium for both of their egos to fit in for press conferences. Instead of spending 10 Million on a signing bonus for TO, they could have got an offensive line. No matter who's the QB, can't make plays laying on your back. I'm not a big fan of Bledsoe, but throwing a rookie in there at this point in the season won't get them to the playoffs. As a Steelers fan, "it couldn't happen to a nicer team" than Dallas. To bad Bill Parcells is going to be the fall guy for Jerry Jones. From what I've seen of old Jerry, he's one face lift from being a Siamese cat. Fortunately, he's more of a jack ass than a cat.

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Thank you, Elizabeth Barrett Magpel. Speaking of things that have no right to be discussed here but are anyway, I was thinking the other day that the Chargers are the only team that changed the meaning of their team's name. The original AFL logo, circa 1960, featured a horse (the word "charger" being "a horse of a kind suitable to be ridden in battle.") But it also featured a bolt of lightning, perhaps as a precursor of things to come. http://www.digitaldeliftp.com/Images/pings/LAChargers60.png By 1962, they'd moved to San Diego and abandoned the horsie altogether, leaving that motif solely to the Broncos. By then, we only associated them with charging of the electrical variety, and the team's nickname even reflected that (the Bolts). Can you think of any other team in any sport whose name stayed the same, with a change only in reference to another meaning of the same word? I, for one, can not. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Zeger Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Speaking of what's on TV, network NFL coverage will get screwed up in a few weeks when NBC's "flexible schedule" kicks in. As part of their deal, NBC got something from the NFL that ABC was never able to get for Mon Night Football: the option to choose which game to air and avoid completely meaningless late season games in primetime. CBS and Fox can "protect" some games from being taken by NBC but they had to make their choices in advance. NBC makes their pick a few weeks ahead of schedule from the games not protected by Fox and CBS. NBC snatched the upcoming NY Giants/Chicago game from Fox (NBC claims it was their originally scheduled choice). I think it's Sun. 11/12. In my business, that's a HUGE loss for the Fox stations in NY and Chicago that already sold the home team game to advertisers and now have to re-sell an alternate, far less valuable game on Sunday afternoon. So if you're making plans to watch a hot Sunday afternoon matchup late in the season, check the TV schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidLifeCrisis Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 How about them Raiders? The Steelers are toast. What a wacky season. Teams fluctuate from week to week looking like world beaters one week and then crap the next. Besides the Colts, I have little or no faith in any team on a week by week basis.
