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.

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. When Umenyiora has played this season it has been Pierre-Paul who has, without complaint, stepped out of the starting lineup, shuffled back-and-forth from left end to right end… Full Story »

Did The Cowboys Lose Or Were They Defeated?
Blogging the Boys &bull Dec 13, 2011
Another harsh Monday for Cowboys nation follows another heart-breaking loss. This time, Dallas could not manage to hold onto a 12-point lead over their division rival, couldn't complete the last-second rally to force overtime, and ultimately lost hold of the NFC East. For those that still believe in the team, the path to the playoffs has become more treacherous and the Cowboys will have to rally and win their final three games or at the least the rematches with the Eagles and Giants . For those that no longer believe, the Cowboys have once again begun their December slump that… Full Story »

Manning Says Dallas Win Guaranteed Nothing
The Giant Insider &bull Dec 13, 2011
Our friend at Giants.com, Mike Eisen, tells us that Eli Manning cautioned that all the 37-34 win over the Cowboys did was ensure a pleasant plane flight home. They still have much work ahead of them to secure a playoff berth. Late Sunday night, Eli Manning retreated from the noisy celebration in the locker room to the relatively silent interview area and cautioned anyone who thought the Giants' thrilling victory over the Dallas Cowboys guaranteed anything but a happy flight home. It won't mean anything if we don't finish the season strong and win these next games," Manning said. We… Full Story »

Falcons-Panthers Recap: Playing With Our Hearts
The Falcoholic &bull Dec 12, 2011
"How 'bout them Panthers , boy?!?" my roommate yelled as he left the apartment. "Yeeeah. How 'bout those Panthers." I replied sarcastically. Had they scored again? No way. It was just 16-7 and we had the ball last I checked. I couldn't bear to look, but I had to. 23-7. "You've got to be !@#$%!@ kidding me." After the horrifically atrocious safety, I flipped over to CBS. I told a friend I wasn't going to watch the travesty that was unfolding before my eyes. But, alas, I am addicted to the Falcons . I checked back every so often. My… Full Story »

"It wasn't pretty but" How many times have you heard someone say this after the New York Giants put a win under their belt? How many times have you said it yourself? This is, undoubtedly, the single, most used cliche pertaining to the G-Men. There really is only one response to this overused banality - welcome to New York Giants football. If you are looking for a sleek, stylish victory with two coats of Armor All caked all over it, I hear Green Bay is lovely this time of year.

Well, New York Giants fans. This is a very happy edition of our weekly 'Kudos & Wet Willies.' We are celebrating the saving of a season today rather than mourning the death of one. Let's get right down to business. Gi-Normous Kudos Jason Pierre-Paul : Forget the impressive numbers (eight tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble and a blocked field goal), they don't begin to tell you how dominant Pierre-Paul's performance was Sunday night.

Good morning fellow Giants fans. I come to you this morning on very few hours of sleep, but insomnia sure doesn't bother me when the Giants win in thrilling fashion like they did Sunday night. Something was nagging me in the back of my mind--having watched Tim Tebow work his magic yet again , I had this belief that anything could happen. But I also had this sneaking suspicion that we were going to pull this one out--and by we I mean Eli Manning and Jason Pierre-Paul .
