BIG WIN

Nice shutout for Big Blue...Tampa really struggling...
The running game worked well...and another nice job by Eli and the WRs.
Next up - KC....

Can you believe Washington LOST to Detroit? Jim Zorn's gotta be close
to losing his job....

Can you believe Brett Farve's comeback against SF?

WR PROBLEM....NOT!!!!!

A quick check of the stats reveals an interesting fact...both Steve Smith and Mario Manningham are among the league leaders in receptions....while I'm not going to say this makes the WR issue a moot point - it does give Giants fans reason to hope. The passing game is needed to create some breathing room for the running game, which it didn't do last season after PLax went down...While Jacobs/Bradshaw have been held in check these first two games for the most part, the WRs have been better than expected...

Look for defenses to key more on Smith as the season develops, but if Hicks can get back into the lineup and do what the G-men think he can...then the Giants may have one of the better offenses in the NFC....and fans will have one less thing to worry about...

A WIN IN BIG D!!!!!

What a great day in NYC sports on the gridiron...the Jets beat Belichick, Brady and the Pats for the first time at home in 9 years and the G-Men go to Dallas and ruin Jerry's Stadium opening....

The Giants played well on both sides of the ball, although the offense continued to struggle in the first half...The defense played well enough to win, and that's all that counts given the number of injuries. Gotta love WR Smith and Manningham stepping up....Romo certainly hurt his team with mistakes last night....

Prediction - just as they opened Giants Stadium in 1976, betcha Dallas plays the first game at the new Giants/Jets stadium against the G-Men...on a Sunday night...in prime time, if not Thursday night.....

Week 3 brings a trip to Tampa Bay - the Bucs will not be a pushover....

NICE WIN BUT AT A COST

The Giants open the season with a win...the WRs did a good job, and the D was stellar...however, two injuries which could have an effect - WR Hicks and RB Ware out at least two weeks...could have an impact...
On to big D - this game will be a true test. But, I think the Giants can win...more later this week...

IT BEGINS!!!!

Kickoff for the 2009 season is here...alot of folks pick the Giants to win the NFC...looking at their division rivals, I can see why....Dallas will never win with Wade as coach, Washington is a mess and the Eagles will feel Jim Johnson's loss more than they think...I like the G-Men this year...
Obviously, the WR question and injuries will be the main issues as the season wears on...

Today will be a big game from the standpoint of making a statement - the Giants want to show everyone they are ready for this season - the Skins have been underachieving for a couple of years and they want to show they mean business...expect a hard knocking game. The sked doesn't get any easier heading to big D next week and the house that money & Jerry built...

Prediction: Giants 17-10
