Injuries are part of the game. Teams find ways to adjust. That Giants D just plain sucks ass especially against the run.
Early in the season they had a complete D!!
Then they got plagued by injuries, Tuck got hurt by that fat slob (which he shoulda been suspended for the 2nd infraction!)!
Injuries killed the D, period!

It was an easy one but, the cowboys shoulda/coulda lost to them had the kicker made one of his misses!
And the Giants easily should have lost week 2 @ Dallas if they had just decided to stick with the run. Cowboys had multiple chances to blow that game open and they were raping the Giants D with the run. JG decided to have Romo throw the football which kept the Giants in the game.
The pats arent any better, they shoulda lost to Buffalo twice, Baltimore & Carolina 2 weeks ago!!
The only big win the have is Baltimore, if you wanna call it a big win, then you can have it!
Yeah but the difference is the Pats are in the playoffs while your team needs all the help it can get just to have a chance. Plus the Pats have only been blown out 1 time all season which was vs the Saints. They were in great position to beat the Colts/Broncos. Giants have been blown out 4 times.
Great position?
NO WAY!
The Broncos D will shut'em down & the Colts are way to powerful!
Too bad that stupid coach gave that game away, he musta had money on the game!
You must not have caught either game this season. Pats were up 17-7 in the Denver game. They had a 17-10 lead most of the 4th. Had chances to win late 4th and in OT and couldn't do it.
Pats had multiple chances to win the game @ Indy. Had a 17 point lead. They were a first down away from ending it.
Thats why I say that are not in a great position, they couldnt come back in that game!!
I also mentioned the stupidity of the coach in the Colts game!
Another reason is in both Dolphin games, the Dolphins rallied back on thier asses, only to get one win! Splittin the series 1-1, when Miami could be 2-0!
Buffalo game (1st of the season, since it was the 1st), Bills played good but ran outta gas at the end!
New England could have easily been 2-0 vs the fins as well. I also never claimed the Pats were a top dog in the afc. I am not expecting a superbowl, but I know they can give any team a run for their money when they bring their best game. Pats lost all of their gut check games but they easily could have won those (Except the Saints game).
Your team is now done for the year. You can't pin this on injuries. They just weren't very good all season which is why they won't be participating in the playoffs.
Sorry I have to do this one more time now that the Giants season is officially over...

Woulda, coulda, shoulda... Giants coulda, shoulda beat the iggles & Chargers but didnt happen!!
Yeah, theyre done! Its very painful! Injuries were a major factor, down the stretch they didnt have a true safety & had to use corners at safety, which you know is a difficult transition! Losing AP, the heart & soul of the D also hurt!
But, they coulda & shoulda won those 2 games & now they'll be watching the tournament like us fans!![]()
...GOOD LUCK to all that have a chance!![]()
Time to bump this thread. They just got a stud in Rolle. This was easily the best signing of the day. The Giants just became the team to beat once again in the NFC.
not really he gets injured too so he will fit right in i guess. cowboys got the nfc east
Anybody who watches the NFC East with any smarts knows that no one has it in March. Good signing by the G-Men though.![]()
Hey, at the time they did..they had just whacked my Cowboys and I was distraught!
But it still wasn't March.![]()
Since the Sunday night game vs the Bears the Giants have transformed in to a complete powerhouse. Coughlin is easily one of the best coaches in football today.
For the O:
Eli is back as a top 5 qb
Bradshaw is a top 2-3 back in the nfl.
Hakeem Nicks is the best wr in the game
Steve Smith is a top 10 wr
The O line is by far the best in football
Now to the D:
Easily the best pass rush and front 7 in all of football.
This is an even better secondary than the 08 team.
This team is healthy which wasn't the cast the previous 2 years. The NFC is gonna be so damn easy to win. The AFC has better compe ion but still not on the level of the Giants.
I would be stunned if they even lose another game this season (unless it is a meaningless game). No one can score on this D and no one can stop this O. Man sucks to be any other team.
I don't know why this team got so overlooked by the "experts" at the beginning of the season. Probably because of the Cowboys hype.
The Giants are good. I predicted a Giants vs Jets Super Bowl earlier. Pittsburgh might beat the Jets though.
Losing DC Spagnuolo in '09 was a blow initially and it showed. They've recovered and refocused defensively rather nicely and Mannings got several weapons at his disposal.
They're playing very well right now.
One amazing stat/ fact is that since the Bears, no team has put together a meaningful drive against the Giants not including garbage time. The only time a team scores against them is when the O turns the ball over 20 yards from the endzone or something like that. Scary team. The Eagles game is going to be a HUGE matchup for the NFC. They also play the Falcons and the Packers later in the year. Lots of great games as we near the playoffs.
