Victor Cruz And Those Dropped Passes
Big Blue View &bull Dec 14, 2011

The New York Giants vs Washington Redskins - Game 2 Scouting Report
Big Blue View &bull Dec 14, 2011
They shut us down for two quarters, the entire second half, in the opening game of the season. Their quarterback registered his highest rating of the season (101.5) in the first matchup. They scored more points in the first week than in any other week this year. Last week, they nearly pulled out a win against one of the front runners of the AFC, the New England Patriots . Their only win in the NFC has been against the Giants. They have nothing to play for and are out to take down all takers in their final three games. They… Full Story »

Random New York Giants Thoughts
Big Blue View &bull Dec 14, 2011
I believe that if and when Osi Umenyiora returns to the Giants' lineup it is time for him to step aside for Jason Pierre-Paul.

New York Giants News and Notes: Trying to Hang On Edition
Big Blue View &bull Dec 14, 2011
Good morning fellow Giants fans. As we do every Wednesday, it's time to look back on last weekend's game--in this case a stunning come-from-behind win in Dallas, and look ahead to this Sunday's game--another must-win contest against Washington. But this week has a different feel. The desperation is not palpable. The Giants still control their own fate, but as opposed to last week at this time, they now have the division lead and will try to hang on to it for three weeks. And let's not forget, even though it feels like a lifetime ago, the Giants lost to the… Full Story »

My Case Against Perry Fewell
Big Blue View &bull Dec 14, 2011
Back on October 13, I wrote a post titled, " In Perry Fewell's Defense ," double meaning intended. In it I reviewed the whole history of lost for the season injuries to the team, including IR and waived/injured, and tried to place the defense's struggles in context as people were calling for his head. The injuries list did not even take a full ineventory of players lost for more than one game to injury but not for the season. I'll repost that updated list below the fold, but right now, let me present the other side from my point of… Full Story »

If Giants Players Were Portrayed By Movie Titles
Big Blue View &bull Dec 13, 2011
If any of you enjoy Cracked.com, they have a ton of these. If not, go read Cracked now and thank me later. That website is friggin' hilarious. But I digress. I figured I would propose a contest. Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble. John Madden The Ballard of… Full Story »
