2nd most bought jersey last year.
8th most bought jersey this year.
That's all I can come up with as to why.
It still boggles the mind but I personally think it has to do with Woody Johnson (Jets owner) hard-on for Tebow and Tebow's potential future in politics (both are conservative).
From all accounts Woody really pushed for Tebow, even interfering in the day to day management operations to get him.
My question is why didn't Woody make a push and force Rex Ryan which by all accounts he would've done.
We'll probably see him in Jacksonville next year but he's a huge locker room distraction so I'd say about 28 teams would never sign him (unless he wanted to play FB or RB).
Giants were the talk of the town with another Super Bowl win so to get the town talking about the Jets he traded for Tebow.
Your franchise
nods head
It wasnt beating the Texans. 0-7 lifetime.

Beat EviLore at pool.
I do too. Didn't like the idea at first but then loved it. Just needed some better games.

Bears game being televised locally? Looks like I won't be live posting my meltdown when they blow it.
Hahahahahaha.
Lol, thanks NFCN.
I don't think it's ever even been an issue whether or not Schwartz comes back for next season. It was a virtual lock the moment he signed that contract extension during the offseason. Lovie I can also understand coming back, given the way that last year was totally derailed by injuries and they're still in the hunt this year too.
Wisenhunt...I'm not sure about his contract status, but him coming back would strike me as more of a surprise.

No. The Giants are incapable of beating the Eagles even if all of that comes to pass.beast786 said:
I'll laugh if they do sneak in. I'll laugh even harder if they actually win a playoff game.
This is true. (more for its story/characters than the "game" portion though)Alligatorjandro said:

Please let Lovie, Cutler, and Schwartz get huge extensions!
Giants sneak in, Packers get the #2 seed, Giants beat the 49ers in San Fran week 1. It would be for the best.

Here's another Black Monday article. Gonna be real interesting. I think Jerry and Payton is kind of the story of the offseason. If Garrett makes the playoffs does that save his job? It shouldn't. If you can get Payton, you do it

The football side was probably thinking "Hey we can bring him in to replace Brad Smith and do some gimmicky shit", the money side was thinking "Hey he will get us a bunch of attention and sell tickets". I think they thought they could control it better than they did, and I'm not too sure they expected Sanchize to shit the bed as bad as he did.

I visit gaming side but half the threads I dont even click on cause I'll just smh. That's probably one of them
Shocked the Cards are going to keep Whisenhunt. Thought he'd for sure be gone after the debacle against Seattle.
No surprised about Schwartz. Say what you want about him he took over a 0-16, worst team in NFL history, and we were in the playoffs 3 years later. Some Lion fans were talking about a 5 year plan after the 0-16 season. Plus we still owe him money and some potential coaches like Jon Gruden and Brian Billick have plenty of teams to choose from.
The problem with our staff lies with Scott Linehan and his playcalling. It worked well the first year but his calling reverses, and running out of shotgun first or second down won't work for long. It did when we had Jahvid Best and the defense getting turnovers but that hasn't worked out as well this year.
If you are a GM/coach, and you can't draft/develop a QB, then you should be fired. It's 80% of your job

Kinda hoped wiz got fired, so maybe the browns could have a chance at him
I agree with what your saying and its essentially the reason Riveria is getting fired in Carolina, but Stafford has developed into one of the best young QBs in the league. The problem particularly this year, has been Linehans playcalling in the redzone (and overall) and lack of explosion in the running game that we had with Jahvid Best.
We're passing the ball in record numbers, and then running the ball out of shotgun with a RB (Leshoure), who is solid but should be run out of the standard I formation. Last year we were running out of shotgun and checking down to Jahvid Best who has insane speed and skill.
Someone like CJ Spiller would work wonders in the type of offense we run. I'd give up a 2nd round pick in a heartbeat for CJ Spiller.
That Giant-Niner blurb -- still going on about the Giants pass rushers. Stop it, media.
I used it earlier, but you guys are horror-movie villains. Not dead until the body is decapitated, burned, and buried
A funny thing about the coaching rumors is "x doesn't want to go somewhere unless there's a QB in place he can win with". Well, if there's a good QB in place, the job isn't usually open. That could make NO attractive, but could also be seen as Payton's sloppy seconds. It's also an older team that would resist a "program change"

Watching Baylor and I'm thinking that between this and the Kirk Cousins thing, IRG3 is a system QB!

I could never say this. No matter how much I hate him because he's not on the browns, the guy is a amazing talent
One rule that I think most of NFLGAF should follow is not making fun of QB injuries. It deeply affects some of us, plus how would you feel if ARod went down? Not funny, right?

I think all those seasons of Matthew Glassford have warped your view.

Ben Roethlisberger, Lawrence Timmons, Ryan Clark, and Shaun Suisham named Pro Bowl 2nd alternates.
It depends on how he goes down. If someone injures themselves celebrating. That's mildly funny. If someone injures themselves trying to injure someone else, that's pretty hilarious. Like if Suh would have pulled a hammy trying to upkick someone's crotch, slipped while trying to stomp on a player's arm, or injured his back trying to choke slam a qb in a pre-season game.
They have, and it'll always scare me.
Despite the overall size and huskiness Stafford has, plenty of players out there will go for a cheapshot ala Steelers v. Palmer.
Never forget.

The biggest cheap shot artist being the guy in your avatar! Warren Sapp's favorite player by far!They have, and it'll always scare me.
Honestly I don't think Suh plays the game "dirty" per se. The game itself is dirty, so dirty shit happens, but I think Suh is so strong physically at his position when he throws a QB it looks dirty when in fact he's just man handling them.
My greatest fear is an opposing defensive player going after Stafford as retaliation for what someone perceives as a dirty Suh hit.

I'm dizzy from the amount of spin in this post.
Ok I'll try to explain.
What Suh did there is perfectly legal in the rule book, but if it happened to Stafford I would be pissed because that could potentially fuck him up and ruin our season.
At the same time the way Suh caught up to Cutler with his speed in that .gif, and brought him down with such fury and strength there is probably no other defensive lineman with the speed and strength that Suh has that could physically make that sack/QB hurry.
Its a catch 22 for me because I played defensive line my 10 years of playing football and loved making hits like that, but if that happens to my QB I'm pissed (whether teammate or Stafford). However what Suh did was perfectly legal in the beautiful game we call football.

Now lets put in every gif of Suh stomping on nuts, legs, heads, whatever his spastic leg deems stompable.

So basically you give a shit if it happens to your guy, but don't give a shit if it doesn't happen to your guy.
This guy doesn't know shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. The Chicago sports radio guys say the Emery front office is on complete lock down right now. Can't get any info one way or the other. This guy is basing purely off speculation for Lovie.
