Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

Ceetar Sep 19 2011 06:54 PM

What, no thread for this already? Giants already playing badly though. Eli throws a pick, and then the defense gives up a third and long, and doesn't tackle the guy when he tumbles making the catch so he gets an extra 30 yards out of it and just misses the touchdown. Thankfully the Rams are inept enough that they fail to complete first and goal, so it's only 3-0 Rams now.

2011-2012 seems a little optimistic, IMO. After looking, I guess their last regular season game is on 01/01/12.

Hey now, tied with the Eagles and may get to sneak a game against them without Vick, or at least a slightly inhibited one. They do have their work cut out for them though.

Crowd seemed like it was just waiting for the right moment to boo the living daylights out of the team. (As it stands, they tagged Eli quite a bit.) If Steven Jackson and the Rams' defense hadn't suffered the freak injuries it did last week, last night's game would have been VERY different. There are some very, very ugly games looming in the season ahead.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 20 2011 01:19 PM Re: Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

I lean more towards the Giants than the Jets. Not that I really ever watch either of them, but the only Super Bowls I've ever watched are the ones with the Giants in them. Would I watch if the Jets were in one? (1969 is before my time.) Maybe.

I'm a Mets fan who roots for both locals, though not all that intensely until after the World Series. Been a Giants rooter longer -- age 6 versus age 15 for the Jets. A long time in both cases. Growing up in these parts in the '70s, I loathed how the playoffs automatically excluded New York, so when each team started taking baby steps toward "the tournament," as Bill Parcells was fond of calling it, I was on board with the Jets as much as the Giants and I never had the good sense to jump off. On some level, the happiest football weekend of my life was the last weekend of the 1981 season when the Giants beat the Cowboys in OT and the Jets beat the Packers to put both teams in.

my wife is Giants fan, so i've learned to be respectful of big blue... at least in her presence. It's not like they're the MFYs, but i do enjoy the annual pre-season game. Unfortunately, this year, they're also playing at the end of the regular season, on Xmas day no less, so there'll be some tension in the Sage house.

I think the constant over dramatization of football is what i dislike most about the sport. one week a team's inches from being eliminated, the next they can be the best team in the NFC. One week everyone's proclaiming the Eagles are going to win it all, and then suddenly the Cowboys are the favorites. Giants seem to be mostly considered and then dismissed because they lost to the Seahawks. Got one of those must wins against the Dolphins coming up, and as bad as they look you can't actually say "The Giants are 5-2" like everyone has this week. That's not how it works.. Oh, and this is two consecutive days I've flipped to Mike and Mike on ESPN in the morning, and they've been discussing the NFL draft and the Colts worst record in the NFL..And the season isn't even half over!

If the NFL was given the amount of coverage baseball gets, I'm sure that over the top, acting like every game is a mini-Super Bowl, type of hype each week would go to a more normal level for mid-way through a season.

Frayed Knot Nov 06 2011 07:04 PM Re: Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

Very significant win today, but jeez how stupid was that taunting penalty by Manningham after his TD? Hey, we just took a 3 point lead on the Patriots with 3 minutes left in the game ... so let's figure out a way to give Tom Brady a shorter field to work with!!! That it all turned out OK in the end doesn't make it any less idiotic.

Gwreck Nov 06 2011 07:05 PM Re: Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

In fairness to Manningham, his celebration wasn't excessive and it was a stupid penalty to call.

You equate the game to battle but trash talk is no good? Would've been a very frustrating lost had it come to that, with the Manning interception toss after a penalty that should've been at least three points and a 10 point lead instead became a Patriots drive to tie. But if my math is correct the Giants have been losing in the 4th quarter in all but one game this season. 6-2. 2 games up on the Cowboys, even if the Eagles win tomorrow, 2+ up on them.

Nice help. But there is nothing better in this world to me than if that other football team that shares our stadium loses. Even if they had lost to our divisional foe. This result was like watching my mother-in-law go over a cliff in my new car - mixed emotions. Later

metirish Nov 07 2011 08:24 AM Re: Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

I enjoyed it , gun to my head I'm a Jets fan but I'm not such a huge NFL fan that I can't like the Giants too. The last 5 minutes were brilliant viewing.Aikman called it when the Patriots were making the go ahead drive, with about 1 minute 40 seconds left he noted "even if they score now there is plenty of time for Manning to lead a drive". Yes I know most anyone watching thought the same thing but not me, I thought that was it.

He may have said a few magic words that we couldn't hear. Great play by Barden in the 4th on a throw that should have been a pick-6, stealing it away from the DB and getting extra yardage.

Andy Rooney, diehard fan (literally, one supposes).

Frayed Knot Nov 07 2011 05:35 PM Re: Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

What was cool about Rooney going to the games was not just that he went for so many years but that he went the regular fan route - unlike probably most other CBS bigwigs especially back in the days when that network, not FOX, had the rights to the NFC and the NYG games were often the crown jewel of their Sunday programming. - he bought his own ticket (one, he went alone) and sat in the stands. He wasn't there to schmooze and be seen, and he wasn't hanging in a luxury box. He was there for the game. - he used public transportation to get there and back; that bus he mentions in the piece wasn't some early version of the Madden Cruiser nor was he using some phony euphemism for a limo, it was a public bus. - he disliked the food and the prices they charged for them at the stadium so he simply packed his own sandwich with a cup of soup and ate in his seat

G-Fafif Nov 07 2011 09:06 PM Re: Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

First thing I thought of when hearing of Rooney's passing was a commentary he did during the 1982 NFL strike -- when I was in college in Tampa -- in which he explained all the money he was losing: showed his pre-paid Port Authority bus tickets, his new binoculars, et al. Very next day in speech class, this guy who was generally unprepared modeled his presentation on Rooney's...which is to say he crossed out "Giants" and inserted "Bucs" wherever applicable, exchanging "parking passes" for "bus tickets". The professor and the rest of the class was very impressed, and it was all I could do not to blurt out, "Oh for crissake, doesn't anybody else here watch 60 Minutes?"

just when I was tiring of football the Giants play a crazy one like that. On the first play Romo looks like a soccer player flopping for a penalty and it's a safety, and the game ends with the Giants successfully icing the kicker trying for the tying field goal.

Frayed Knot Dec 12 2011 07:00 AM Re: Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

It was a fun game to watch but the fact that the league allows that icing strategy nonsense is borderline criminal. The only good thing about it is that it fails more often than not to the point where it even backfires at least as often as it "works". But even that doesn't seem to deter anyone in the copycat NFL because coaches are now afraid NOT to try it for fear of being accused of failing to do everything they can to win or some such stupidity. That Dallas lost a game a week ago in part because the coach bizarrely iced his own kicker (he probably had something written on his cue cards that says: 'Must call time-out during all FG tries in the closing seconds') shows that any thought process has clearly left the building. Refs should just tell the coach that they need to call their TO now or I'm going to pretend not to hear you if you're going to wait until a nano-second prior to the snap. On the other hand, I could then see the booth upstairs ordering a replay review as America watches in stop-action slo-mo split-screen to determine if the coach's 'T' signal did indeed beat the first movement of the long-snapper.

They didn't officially review it, but we were treated to that split-screen. I agree about the icing the kicker thing, it's stupid and I hate it, but it was awesome last night regardless. The lack of clock-management and shots of coaches hovering over officials with a stopwatch to plan time outs is what I love about baseball, even if the bullpen merry go rounds try to approximate the feeling. Although it wasn't so much the kicker that got iced, but whoever was supposed to block Jason Pierre-Paul.

Frayed Knot Dec 12 2011 07:59 AM Re: Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

Sure it's awesome ... when you like the results. The problem comes when fans, coaches and idiot commentators treat the strategy as if proof of cause-and-effect. I'm sure Coughlin is being praised in papers, on radio, on TV, and on barstools everywhere today because his strategy "worked" even though there's no history of showing that the icing ploy has any better results than a coin flip. It's like bunting with Wright down by two in the 9th and claiming afterward that it was a brilliant move because the pitcher fielded his effort and threw it into RF sending the runner home and David all the way to 3rd.

Ceetar Dec 12 2011 08:12 AM Re: Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

nah, I meant awesome in the sense that it was a crazy way to end a game that was a crazy shootout as it was, and not just because the kicker missed the second time but because it was actually blocked. whoever the broadcaster was actually harping on how it statistically doesn't work.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Dec 12 2011 02:34 PM Re: Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

It has essentially no effect, except when the time out is called after the kick goes up (which favors the kicker, since he gets to see what the weather is like at that moment, and whether anything needs to be adjusted about the trajectory). It draws attention from/creates a reaction in the viewer, and presents nothing more than a slight annoyance to those on the field; in that way, it's less like strategy, and more like wearing pink shoes, or a particularly demonstrative sideline affect.

Ceetar Dec 27 2011 10:02 AM Re: Big Blue Giants, 2011-2012

Whee for the still relevant football team. Can they take down the Cowboys again and continue onward? Will Tony Romo's hurt hand make the Cowboys punch-less and bolster an (hopefully renewed-confidence) inconsistent Giants defense? I'll be watching this one in Philadelphia.

Well, Giants survive despite losing, what was it?, like 9 in a row at one point. And while I know that coaches in the NFL are treated as demi-gods by most of the media ... has any assistant coach ever gotten more air-time than Rob Ryan? I mean it's bad enough that the 'boys are on national TV every week (did I hear Al/Collinsworth say tonight that they had four Sunday Night games alone this season?) but they cut to that fat load every 10 seconds when the opposition has the ball. Good play/bad play, doesn't seem to matter, it's like every play is directly on him.

"Offensive genius" Mike Martz. Any embattled offensive coordinator (see: Schottenheimer). And, going back a bit, Ryan's dad. He's pricey, and he's Rex Ryan's brother, and he obviously gives them a lot of material to work with in the pregame meetings (and maybe Garrett gives them nothing, or at least not as much as Ryan and Romo).

All a middling team has to is be a good enough team for a few weeks here and a few weeks there. Giants found the right few weeks and get one more week at least. Except for the New Orleans game, they didn't suck out loud during their interminable-ish losing streak against good competition, which makes them modestly viable in the short-term. Falcons beware...and vice-versa.
