The audio clips of Ryan from the conference sound even worse than they do in print.....he just stammers and talks total gibberish. I get the feeling Rex spends more time with his foot fetish than he does on football.

What's amazing to me is that the guy can go in and watch the team completely fall apart and then get a fresh start as if he had nothing to do with it. Most coaches talk about their failures after getting fired but Rex is talking about it before gearing up for round two of failure. Whatever, works for me.

Too busy playing Dota 2 to play word games over a game I have no control over. No I'm not very confident about the game.

The Giants salaries by year:
http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-giants/yearly/
Some reasonable stuff there. We have a good bit of UFA's to work through and some decisions on those big ticket salaries.
Here's the list of FA's:
http://www.spotrac.com/free-agents/nfl/new-york-giants/
Victor Cruz
Martellus Bennett
Kevin Boothe
Will Beatty
That's about the extent of FA's that I feel need to be resigned. Stevie Brown could be added to that list if we let Kenny Phillips go but he's restricted so the team could offer an appropriate tender for him. The same for Cruz if contract talks break down (put a first round tender on him).

Not going to dispute that Eli is fantastic in the pocket, but the Giants only played two top 10 teams in sack rate, and 4 top 10 defenses. It's something I've noticed with Rams fans where they get carried away with a guy who does well vs bad opponents. Not saying that's you, but the Giants really didn't go through the grinder with their schedule.
edit: not a critique of Eli but of the other players on O
What's your Steam ID?

Won't find much disagreement from me on that. We have a pretty cup cake schedule in 2013 from the looks of it (maybe. We don't know what those teams are going to be at the end of the day...)squicken said:
I think we have solid players on one side the line. Boothe and Beatty in particular have big upside. The Giants MO isn't to draft high on the offensive line. They look at it as the sum is greater than the parts and that's worked well for them. The 07-09 line is a great example with standouts in Suebert, Snee and Mckenzie and lesser guys like O'Hara and Diehl. Snee being the highest drafted in the group.
Lol. PeyPey is gonna go no Vaseline on that defense lol. Ed Reed occasionally fools him, and that'll probably be their defensive highlight. I just don't see Slacco holding his own against this D. Those bullshit Eli lob throws won't bail him out this week, and Ray Rice will need the game of his life. If they don't stay on the field, they're done. Unless Manning regresses to the Manning who used to turn into a popsicle in cold weather, or RayRay decides the only way to win against elite QBs in the playoffs is to kill them, I don't see it happening. That Ravens D will all be needing oxygen towards the end of the 3rd in Mile High.
The 2012 schedule was pretty much a grinder, but that's a BS excuse for the way it ended the way it did.
The East was full of flops, but Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Baltimore, San Francisco, Atlanta, Green Bay, and despite being awful defensively, New Orleans were never a push-over. Still, even with the schedule, they had no business blowing the lead they had. I do agree rebuilding the defense and adding a few new prints offensively (RG, RT and possibly another TE are the only concerns) is what they will likely focus on.

Alex smith does what kapernick doesnt.
Packers fans just talk big considering we already beat them once in Lambeau this year with Small Hands starting. Point this out and they get more sensitive & defensive than Aaron when someone calls him small.
lol @ the overconfidence, just like week one. Steady improvement is allowing 199 yards rushing rather than 250.
I think I predicted the Packers would lose by three touchdowns in week 1.

I don't remember anyone here acting like we were going to smash week one.
I've said multiple times that I feel better about the Packers going into this game than I did the opener.
Doesn't mean it won't be a game, but I feel like we have a very good shot.
I honestly thought the Niners would get smoked by that same margin. The Niners are way too unpredictable this year, going into next week I wouldn't be surprised by any result.
I just think the 9ers peaked really early in the season, but that doesn't mean you guys don't play tough ass football on both sides, which makes for quite a match up against the Packers.

I think when you play as physically as they do that intensity has to taper off to a certain degree after a long season. I guess we'll see.
Aye, I think a lot hinges on how much Aldon benefits from the week off after clearly wearing down over his first full year and how CK performs in his first truly high pressure game. He's going to need to put up 35+ and string together a few long drives. I don't have much confidence in Justin playing well or lasting long in the game considering his style of play.
I think we're making too big a deal out of the defensive line play. The 49ers only sacked Rodgers once. He was inaccurate, inconsistent and seemed out of rhythm despite having time to throw. They also threw a ton (only 9 runs) so it's not like SF was off balance. The Packers line did a good job in that game and they still got clowned.

Isn't eligible to return until the Championship games.
Clearly wearing down eh? :jnc
Hm? I mean, I get the "omg they hold every play" swipe, but beyond that it's something that even Harbaugh identified as the biggest positive about getting the bye. Aldon was getting abused in the running game, whereas he wasn't nearly as bad (to my eye) earlier in the year. He had no motor left.
he's covering for Aldon. 90% of his sacks are on that stunt. Sorry bro, but he's just not that good w/o Justin
Everyone wears down though. I'm not going to say he's trash because he's only in his second year, but he clearly owes a significant portion of his success to this point to Justin.

Lol we got no pressure on Rodgers in week 1. Our D just played tight coverage and there really weren't any errant passes where Rodgers missed a wide open guy.
We need the same type of performance. I don't see us getting a lot of pressure on him

I was referring to both their offense and defense. My biggest memory of the game is their heavy personnel packages and just being much more physical than our D.
Plus as far as defense was concerned a lot of it was their corners being physical with our receivers and noone being able to get open

Considering how we beat up on the Niners and Packers, there's no excuse for how poorly we played against the Falcons, Bengals and Ravens. In all though, that's maybe 5-6 games in a schedule of 16 that tested the Giants. Those were spread out a bit as well. It wasn't nearly what the 2011 schedule was, IMO.Striker said:
The Saints fielded one of the worst defenses in the league. We should have put more than 52 on them considering the starting position we had all game.
Changing gears, tonight is all planned out for me:
Yeah, don't disagree. I was speaking to the people overly concerned with the health of the cheater brothers.

Might be late but Rob Parker fired over RGIII coments haha
Meh, ESPN was apparently okay with that statement until the public caught on because they replayed the whole segment unaltered on SC and then on the later afternoon broadcast.
Parker is a troll - this is his act and show - but ESPN is even worse for emphasizing the First Take style of bullshittery across the entire network.

Cardinals have their new GM:
Staying with the Cardinals theme, anyone else see the story on Dockett trying to get him some of AJ's GF action?

After his performance last night, I hope The Falcons pick Eddie Lacy in the 3rd round if he is available.

Poor Cierre Wood's run average went down by a factor of 10 last night, from around 5 yards to .5 yards.

After not really playing for quite some time I finally put it in a few weeks ago. Usually way too easy so in found a slider set that I found challenging and tweaks aspects that were a little too easy/hard. Getting some pretty good games lately.
