Giants better and Healing

Giants are looking good with Osi and Manningham returning. The receiving core looks better while Osi will only strengthen a solid line, with improving linebackers. The secondary is holding up. Watch for Manning to have a stellar day and for the Giant backs to run for over 200 yards. How sweet it is.

Michael Vick please stop.

Vick has gotten the most calls for roughing the passer. Other passers were roughed up worse and calls were not made. As everyone is saying Vick has to look to his offensive life. Espn's Jackson and others were shamefully racial as they tried to pin the "non calls" as biased.

Shame on them.

Media cannot fathom how Good Eli is!1

It is no secret that Eli did not even have an adequate core of wide receivers last year. Even to this year until Cruz showed what he can do. Now you have two legitimate very good playmakers with Nicks and Cruz. If Manningham can get his act together it can be awesome. Remember Eli was without Steve Smith all last year. Now if we can get a few tight ends it would really help. We have no idea what Eli can do with a solid supporting cast. With the defense emerging as a real force the Giants can be the team to reckon with. Nice game last week. Let's put a few of those together.

Took too long to play Cruz

We knew he was good. He showed that in two exhibition seasons. He reminds me of Fitzgerald who can catch the ball in a crowd. It has been awhile since Manning had some reliable wide receivers. As long as Cruz keeps his eye on the ball he will be a great one.The team has done well despite injuries. Now that the Giants have several down the field threats the running game will open up and the offense will become more explosive. Nice emergence of an apparently very good team. Should be fun.

What will 2010 bring?

After two disappointing seasons the NY Giants go into a season with a new defensive coordinator and some new players. The coordinator is proven so hopefully the defense will resume their dominance which they had in the Super Bowl year.

What a Team!

This Giant team will get better. A hall of fame quarterback. (You heard it here first). The offensive line is peerless. The backs are very good. The receivers are top notch. And what a defense!! And depth all around. Tuck is all pro and the rest of the defensive line are pro bowlers. The offensive line makes huge holes that a truck can pass through. What a team.

See you Monday night in Cleveland.

Two Minute Thrill

Two-Minute Thrill
New York's final drive was a madcap case of crisis management

Burress beat single coverage to haul in the game-winner.

Dr. Russell Warren stood on the sideline agonizing, a mother hen fearing for her brood as he watched the Giants mount the greatest drive in their history.
"Guys doubling over, cramping, I didn't think some of them would make it," New York's team doctor said after Super Bowl XLII on Sunday. "Plaxico Burress, my God, what pain he played in. He fell in the shower on Tuesday. I thought he'd torn his MCL. You didn't know that, did you? Of course you didn't. No one knew. And he'd injured his knee in the Green Bay game.
"He said, 'Shoot me up for this one if you have to. I'm not going to miss the Super Bowl.' "
And he was on the field for the New York march that began with 2:39 left and New England leading 14-10. "Chaos, the whole drive was chaos," said left guard Rich Seubert. "They weren't going to go quietly. They were bringing guys, doing twists and stunts and games, flying all over the place."
The drive, which gave the Giants their winning points in the 17-14 triumph, was a series of crises. In each case the stakes were the same: Fail and the Super Bowl goes poof. The first crisis in the 83-yard, 12-play march came on fourth-and-one at the New York 37. Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride likes to put the ball up in short yardage. Not this time. In came the big boys, 264-pound running back Brandon Jacobs and 266-pound fullback Madison Hedgecock. Jacobs, who had spent the afternoon running into the heart of the defense, went over the right side this time, Hedgecock leading.
"The only play they used me on the whole drive," Hedgecock said. "I knew it had to be special. Tedy Bruschi was in the hole. He dove for my legs, tried to chop me. I knew I had to get as low as he was, lower even." Hedgecock dug out Bruschi, and Jacobs got his first down with a foot to spare.
The next crisis came three plays later, third-and-five at the New York 44. "Blitzing, coming from odd angles, changing every play, that's what they were doing," said Gilbride. "I told Eli Manning, 'Let's go with a combination route.' And what I called was Phantom, a middle read off a hook."
Linebacker Adalius Thomas came barreling in from the edge, defensive linemen Jarvis Green and Richard Seymour came inside. They caught Manning in a squeeze. He was a dead duck, but somehow he escaped. "My man had his jersey," Seubert said. "I yelled, 'Go, Eli, go!' "
"I had a good view because nobody rushed over me," right guard Chris Snee said. "I turned around, and there were a couple of guys mugging Eli. Somehow that scrawny body got away."
"No one pulled me down. . . . I felt a tug," Manning said. "I tried to stay small."
He got off a pass that went 32 yards to David Tyree, a special teams whiz and the No. 4 receiver. He was open at first; then Rodney Harrison caught up. Tyree made a leaping grab, then kept the ball away from the veteran safety as the two fell.
"I guarantee you," Peyton Manning said, standing by his brother's locker afterward, "there were guys on that Patriots defense who thought the play was already over. He gets sacked, that's it, it's over. Fourth-and-15."
"Most amazing play I've ever seen on a football field," Hedgecock said.
The next crisis was third-and-11 at the New England 25. Manning converted it on an out pattern to Steve Smith. "Quick, we wanted to hit them quick because they were coming so hard on their rush," Gilbride said. Nine of the Giants' 11 plays on the drive had been passes, against a wildly rushing defense. Now it was time for pass number 10.
"Café, that's what the play was called," Gilbride said. "Curl with a flag route over the top. They went to blitz zero . . . everyone coming. Harrison blitzed; Plax was left in man coverage. He gave the corner an inside step and then came down the seam. Six points."
And Super Bowl XLII.

Giants Advance to Super Bowl XXLIBy Michael Eisen, Giants.com
Take this story to go! -
Jan 20, 2008
GREEN BAY –Pandemonium reigned in the visitor’s locker room at Lambeau Field Sunday night.
The Giants advance to Super Bowl XXLI!
The Giants players and coaches hugged and high-fived each other. They took personal camcorders out of their lockers to record the moment. The players mugged for television cameras, screamed in ecstasy and chanted, “We’re going to the bowl baby, we’re going to the bowl.”
Indeed they are. The Giants – underdogs every week despite being the greatest single-season road show in NFL history – are headed for Super Bowl XLII. On Sunday in frigid Lambeau, the Giants defeated the Green Bay Packers, 23-20, in overtime to win the NFC Championship.
Lawrence Tynes – who had missed his previous two attempts, including one on the final play of regulation – kicked the game-winning 47-yarder 2:35 into the extra period. It was the first time in the history of Lambeau that a visiting player had kicked a field goal of more than 40 yards in a postseason game. The score was set up by Corey Webster’s interception of a Brett Favre pass for Donald Driver on the second play of overtime, the same Donald Driver who earlier had burned Webster for a 90-yard touchdown.
The victory advanced the Giants to their fourth Super Bowl and first since the 2000 season. They will face the AFC Champion New England Patriots on Feb. 3 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The Giants lost to the Patriots, 38-35, in the regular season finale on Dec. 29.
“Well, that was some game,” said Coach Tom Coughlin, who had lost his two previous championship games with the Jacksonville Jaguars. “I think the thing that I'm most proud of about this team is the way they hang together, the way they played hard. They never say die. It doesn't matter what the odds are. They just keep scrapping and believing and working to find a way to win."
Once again, the Giants made themselves at home on the road. They extended their own record by winning their 10th consecutive road game and they became the first team in history to win 10 games as visitors in one season. The Giants became only the third team ever to advance to the Super Bowl by winning three road games, joining the 1985 Patriots and 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers.
The No. 5 Giants are the lowest-seeded NFC team to reach the Super Bowl since the NFL began seeding teams in 1990. Prior to their current run, only one NFC team seeded lower than No. 2 had won the conference championship - third-seeded Carolina won in 2003. In the AFC, sixth-seeded Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl two years ago. The Giants are just the fourth team since the 1970 merger to reach the Super Bowl after starting the season 0-2. The 1993 Cowboys and the 1996 and 2001 Patriots were the others. The Cowboys and 2001 Patriots won the Super Bowl. Also, the Giants are the ninth Wild Card team to reach the Super Bowl since the merger and the sixth to reach the title game since 1990.
“Words can’t describe the way I feel,” guard Chris Snee said. “I am sure everyone else feels the excitement that is going on now. We are going to enjoy this one for a couple of days.”
“I saw that kick go through and I couldn’t believe that we are actually going to the Super Bowl,” safety Gibril Wilson said. “It is a great feeling. It is something that we worked for since we were little kids and we are actually going to the Super Bowl.”
As they have had throughout the playoffs, the Giants, now 13-6, had a lengthy list of heroes. It began with Tynes, of course, and Webster. Brandon Jacobs (one-yard run) and Ahmad Bradshaw (four-yard run) scored touchdowns. Eli Manning set career postseason highs with 40 passes, 21 completions and 254 yards. Plaxico Burress set a franchise postseason record with 11 catches, for 154 yards. The old mark of 10 was set by Ike Hilliard in the 2000 NFC Championship Game victory over Minnesota.
Defensively, the Giants held Green Bay to 28 rushing yards, forced Favre into two late interceptions and limited the Packers to one successful third down conversion on 10 tries.
The Giants dominated the game statistically, outgaining Green Bay (380-264), rolling up 11 more first downs (24-13) and owning the ball for 40:01 to just 22:34 for the Packers.
“We moved the ball really well,” Manning said. “The first couple times we had to settle for field goals, which was disappointing, but after that we continued to have some long drives, just finding ways to get first downs and getting in the end zone at the end, and it was a fun game to play. It was a very tough game and it wasn't easy. I give a lot of credit to Green Bay. They played very tough. They're very physical and played a great game. We just made a lot of plays.”
