I was nervous before the season started, especially when I saw the Giants’ 2010 schedule. Read the rest of this entry >>

Okay, so I just had the chance to watch the replay of the Giants/Ravens game on NFL Network. Well, I watched the first half and parts of the second half, anyway. And in what I did see, it was enough. The Giants, despite a few bright spots, were pretty much manhandled on both sides of the ball by a well-coached and talented Ravens’ team. Here are a few random thoughts and observations I had…..

As the preseason wears on, and more and more Giants’ players wind up in the trainers’ room and wind up having MRIs, it’s starting to get disturbing. Read the rest of this entry >>

I don’t know about you, but I’m done with it. Bring on the regular season already! This preseason and training camp has been highlighted by a few things…..mainly, injuries. Eli’s head is the big one, but beyond that, just about every position player has battled some sort of injury or still is. Let’s hope they are just getting these out of the way now so that it doesn’t all carry over into the regular season. Read the rest of this entry >>

The Giants went into Saturday night’s preseason contest with the Pittsburgh Steelers with a major disadvantage. While the Steelers would field three healthy QBs–Ben Roethlisberger, Dennis Dixon and Byron Leftwich–the Giants would trot third-stringer Rhett Bomar out there for the entire game as injuries to Eli Manning and Jim Sorgi kept them on the sidelines in a 24-17 loss. Bomar is a second year player but last night he saw the most game action of his young career, and he handled it pretty well, despite being shaky at times and getting hit hard with regularity.

Subway is sponsoring some webisodes in conjunction with NBC’s “Golf Therapy,” and a couple of them involve former Giant Michael Strahan and current Giant Justin Tuck giving golf “lessons” to comedian Brian Baumgartner of “The Office.” I wasn’t sure what to expect when I clicked on these links, and at first they didn’t seem funny…well, just like “The Office.” Read the rest of this entry >>

I just finished watching last night’s game on DVR, and wow. Before we get to the good and the bad points, let’s just say how ridiculous undrafted free agent WR Victor Cruz was last night. It wasn’t just the 6 catches for 145 yards and 3 touchdowns, it was the way he scored those TDs, and in particular the first one. It was an acrobatic, dare I say Brandon Marshall-type catch, a one-handed snare out of mid-air when only he could make the play and not the defender. Wow. You just don’t see that often in the NFL, much less from undrafted rookies. Read the rest of this entry >>

225 days ago, the Giants’ 2009 season ended with a thud, with heaps of disappointment cascading down on them and on us as fans. That game, as it were, didn’t matter. The Giants had already blown their opportunity for a postseason berth the week before in a horrendous home loss to Carolina. So after they lost 44-7 to the Vikings, the players and coaches all got on a plane back to New Jersey before scattering for the off-season, set to watch the playoffs from the comfort of their own living rooms.
