PLAYOFFS BEGIN...

The Giants lose a meanless game, but the big question is who's coming to the Meadowlands in two weeks? A bigger question...who replaces Sam Madison in the secondary? He's done with a broken ankle...

I never tire of seeing the Cowboys thrashed...so sad....NOT!

Notice how quickly the talk of a Giants-Jets Super Bowl ended...now the question is will the Man-genius and Brett return to Gang Green?

PLAX SHOOTS HIMSELF AGAIN...

In a story that I don't know whether to laugh or shake my head at, Plaxico Burriss is now being sued over a car accident last June in which he didn't have insurance...it lapsed three days earlier due to non-payment of the premium....I can't make this stuff up!

My god - he needs some serious help in managing his life...

Let's see someone defend him on the Giants now....

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!

It wasn't pretty in the first half, but when crunch time hit, the Giants made it count...an overtime 34-38 win means the road to the Super Bowl in the NFC goes thru the Meadowlands. Great games for Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward....Next week's game with Minnesota is meaningless except in y house, where my sister cheers for the Vikes...

I thought the most enjoyable game to watch was the saturday night Dallas meltdown....I couldn't believe they got burned twice in the last 3 mins. And with the Eagles loss, that sets up a win or you are out situation for both teams...how great is that!

GOOD NEWS...

Reports are Brandon Jacobs will be in the backfield Sunday when the Giants face Carolina...that's the type of break we need...

Giants sending 6 to Pro Bowl...that's nice after only one last year...Gotta wonder what Lawrence Tynes is thinking these days...John Carney replaces him and goes to the Pro Bowl...and he's now healthy....

CONCERNS GROWING...

Another stinker of a performance and the Giants are suddenly average...Big Blue now faces a must win for homefield advantage thruout and a first round bye against Carolina...

Not much to say about Sunday...Dallas showed everyone why they were the pick for the Super Bowl in the NFC...but they aren't there yet....A good performance this Sunday night would turn the doubts into believers...

But, as I said last week...without Brandon Jacobs, this is a truly average offense...

A BIG BLUE DISASTER WITH A SILVER LINING

An awful game no matter how you look at it as the Eagles controlled the ball and the game from the outset. The only good thing...the NFC East is ours, and a first round bye on the table Sunday night against Dallas.

You have to be concerned about Brandon Jacobs recurring injuries....the Giants are best when all three backs are healthy...2 out of 3 is bad...

On a day like yesterday, does home field really matter?

The only thing worse than the Giants game was the Jets in SF...that loss will come back to haunt them (and the Oakland one, too).

SMITH ROBBED...AT GUNPOINT

Giants wideout Steve Smith was robbed outside his home in Clifton by someone who is still at large. Kinda ironic, don't you think? As someone said, it could have been Plax....

GIANTS TELL PLAX TO GO

I was curious to see how the Giants and/or the NFL would handle this situation...Report say the Giants trainer told the team he's out for 4-6 weeks with the gunshot wound....so the team suspends him for four games (the regular season) and places him on the non-football injury list which means he's done for the season...Since his criminal case isn't till March, the team obviously is hoping for that to be resolved before having to make a decision. I think he's done, I can't see anyway for him to avoid jail time and that would give the Giants an out to let him go..

If you remember, I said giving him a contract extension was a mistake...the question now is how big of one...

ANOTHER WIN...

I doubt anyone really sweated the game...the Giants offense continues to hum along - Eli throws for 300 yards...doesn't miss Plaxi-gun...Defense continues to impress...

Giants can clinch division and 1st round bye with win over Eagles Sunday.....
