Cards Giants Game Thread 2008

Remember Carney missing that extra point when he was with the saints vs the jags?

We've had some strange play calling this year but this ONK is the worst. Why do it? I'm just at a loss to understand? The fact that it almost worked is beside the point. I mena any points for the Giants ends the game. They've already started in out teritory 4 times, and scored 4 times. For pete sake!!!!!!

hey we only need 2 TDs in 2 minutes with no timeouts left..don't give up

You just answered your own question. As long as ST is going to let that guy return the kicks 70 yards we might as well do it where we have a chance to get to it first.

I think it shows an understandable lack of confidence in our defense.

 

[mjb21aztd]

well lets atleast score a td make the game a little closer

 

[Zeno]

A FG? huh

 

[atikiN]

We see Steven Jackson twice a year.

Is this a joke? Are you comparing Steven Jackson to Brandon Jacobs?

 

[Zeno]

another onside kick, what are the chances of 2 perfect onside kicks?

 

[Zeno]

the kick I mean not the catch

 

[Zeno]

ok game over officially now

 

[mjb21aztd]

Both have durability issues but SJ is clearly the more talented back.
What SJ lacks in pass protection BJ lacks in the passing game & home run speed.
Both very good power backs but SJ has speed & versatility to boot.
Having said that....i think Steven Jackson is soft & i'm not a fan.

I'd like to see a rematch.

Winners today
Anquan Boldin - punishing TD
JJ Arrington - I'd like to see more screens to him from shotgun to the side where Boldin and Fitz are lined up together in those situations. He is a great returner and is definitely mentally tough to perform like this in a season where he wasn't playing early on
Neil Rackers - his Pro Bowl year continues
Justin Tuck - honestly, one of only two players on the Giants that really impressed me. He was getting serious pressure.
Domenik Hixon - instead of pushing off (Steve Smith) or using the ref (Amani Toomer), Hixon used his natural ability to make plays
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie - the gamebreaker had a few big plays today

Losers today
FOX's Broadcast Team - If I were blind, I would've thought that the Cardinals disappeared in between plays. These guys were talking about other games of the day while Warner led the field goal drive and also writing the game off even though the Cardinals were attempting an onside kick within one possession of the Giants.
Matt Ware - pretty bad afternoon

It upsets me when people try to put the Giants in a class by themselves when they really don't do anything special. They are the best team in football NARROWLY. I don't see them going into Tennessee and blowing out the Titans. The Patriots and Cowboys were impressive today and I still think the Cardinals need to win this game vs. Philly, but are likely to win all the rest of their games except vs. New England. I hope McNabb plays because that is more for the Cardinals to overcome and will make the win sweeter for them. This is a game they need to win. The Eagles have been bad on third downs and have turned the ball over a bunch.

I don't care about wins being sweeter... just win.

McNabb is a Cards killer even on one leg. I hope he does not play.
