jesus

well dallas has this left

@NYG
KC
@SKINS
@CAR
ST. LOUIS

compared to us

DALLAS
@PHILLY
KC
@SKINS
@OAK

so, it's up in the air

KC has finally found their offense, and at least we have them at home, but so does Dallas...

I think they go 3-2

we go 4-1

i think we go 3-2...we dont do very well travelling out west so i think the oakland game is up in there air. I also don't think it will be very easy to beat washington again as they will probably be looking for payback and philly is never easy.

He was celebrating because Feely was kicking a sure 40 yard FG for the win, and he end up missing it, so Shockey was upset.

shockey didnt get the foot down

but he did take three steps and switch hands with the ball on that one "drop"

and toomers play was a TD...not to mention the article doesnt explain how it "wasnt" a TD

plus there were about a billion other fuckups in that game

they should all just resign

Quote :
"NFL Contradicts Holmgren: The NFL issued a statement refuting a report out of Seattle that the league office had informed Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren that the officiating crew had incorrectly called the Giants' two touchdowns in Sunday's game. According to the report, the league said touchdowns by TE Jeremy Shockey and WR Amani Toomer should not have been ruled completions.

"The report that the NFL informed the Seahawks of officiating mistakes on two Giants touchdown receptions is inaccurate," said NFL Vice President of Public Relations Greg Aiello. "Our officiating department never discussed with the Seahawks the Amani Toomer touchdown reception, which was properly called. The Jeremy Shockey touchdown catch at the end of the first half was not overturned, because the referee determined that there was insufficient visual evidence to reverse the call."

If we can't beat the Eagles this week, we pretty much suck and shouldn't go to the playoffs. Where the hell is our offense?

"Umenyiora strives to be better; Barber earns honors.
By Michael Eisen, Giants.com


December 8, 2005

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Shortly after the Giants broke training camp this year, Osi Umenyiora was asked if 2004 was a breakout season for him. It seemed a reasonable query, given that he had led the team with seven sacks and was honored as the team’s Defensive Player of the Year at the annual kickoff luncheon.

“I’m happy they didn’t trade me,” Umenyiora said. “I’m glad to be here. I’m glad I got drafted by this organization and I’m glad I didn’t leave.”
- DE Osi Umenyiora
“Absolutely not,” Umenyiora answered. “I don’t think I really accomplished a lot of things last year. The numbers were okay, but I feel I’m capable of a whole lot better. I hope that wasn’t a breakout year for me.”

Well, how about this season? Now a third-year pro, Umenyiora has become one of the NFL’s very best defensive ends. He leads the NFC and is tied (with Oakland’s Derrick Burgess) for the league lead with 11.0 sacks. He’s improved his play against opponents’ inside runs, has chased down runners on the outside and has dropped into pass coverage a few times each game.

So is this his breakout season?

“No,” Umenyiora said.

Why? “I can do better.”

Better than leading the league in sacks? “Always better.”

Clearly, the young man is not yet satisfied, which is great news for the Giants and an unsettling fact for the teams remaining on their schedule, beginning with the Eagles Sunday in Philadelphia. Umenyiora, a 6-3, 280-pound third-year pro from Troy State, has a vast array of skills. In the final game of his rookie season, he blocked two punts against Carolina and was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Last year in Baltimore, he picked up a fumble and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown. This season, he has 54 tackles (36 solo), those 11 sacks (eight in the last six games), two forced fumbles, two fumbles recoveries and three passes defensed. He has been a vital contributor to the 8-4 Giants, who sit atop the NFC East.

It’s no wonder the San Diego Chargers tried mightily to pry Umenyiora from the Giants when the teams were negotiating the Eli Manning trade. And it’s just as understandable that Ernie Accorsi refused to part with him.

“In every conversation, his name was the first one they brought up,” Accorsi said. “If it was going to be a deal-breaker then it was going to be a deal-breaker, (because) I wasn’t putting him in (any trade package).”

Umenyiora is glad he didn’t.

“I’m happy they didn’t trade me,” Umenyiora said. “I’m glad to be here. I’m glad I got drafted by this organization and I’m glad I didn’t leave.”

For many years, Michael Strahan has been the gold standard for NFL defensive ends. In Umenyiora, he just might have the best running mate of his 13-year career. Strahan has 9.5 sacks this season. Their 20.5 combined sacks are the most by any two teammates in the NFL.

“Osi is a great player,” Strahan said. “He’s just had to let the mental part catch up with the physical, and this year he’s having an incredible year. He’s very hard to stop. I think as a defensive lineman and for myself, it’s great to have somebody like Osi, who other teams have to look for. You just can’t line up one way and say, ‘He’s worried about this guy and the rest of them you can handle one-on-one.’ Now with the way he’s playing and the way the guys inside are playing, you have your hands full.”

Strahan has been routinely double-teamed for years. Now defenses must give Umenyiora the same treatment, or he will spend much of the game in their backfield.

“You can’t control that,” Umenyiora said of the extra blockers assigned to stop him. “They’re going to keep on being there. That’s one less person that goes out to try to catch a pass. I’ll take it – they can double-team me all day.”

“The one thing I have noticed is that they can double two people on one play,” Strahan said. “Osi always says to me, ‘How are they double-teaming both of us?’ Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

The two defensive ends were at their havoc-wreaking best in last week’s 17-10 triumph over Dallas. Strahan had seven tackles (five solo), two sacks and a pass defensed. Umenyiora had four tackles (three solo) and a sack – a week after victimizing Seattle’s All-Pro tackle Walter Jones for eight tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble. In the first quarter last week, Umenyiora dropped Julius Jones for a three-yard loss. With Dallas desperately trying to tie the score in the fourth period, Umenyiora somehow caught up to Jones on an outside ran and held him to a two-yard gain on second-and-three. After an incomplete pass, the Cowboys punted.

“That’s a play a couple of teams have run before,” Umenyiora said. “I just saw it in time and I was able to run him down. I don’t know how I saw it, but I saw it. That play is really not my responsibility. Once the tackle blocks down I have to honor that and step down. They flipped it to the outside. I saw it in time and was able to get out there.”

“The athleticism, the angle, the speed, the quickness to just control that play and to not let him get the outside and turn the corner on us - that was an excellent football play,” coach Tom Coughlin said.

It’s the kind of big play that helped send Strahan to six Pro Bowls. Although he receives the same treatment from opponents as Strahan, Umenyiora insists he hasn’t eclipsed his mentor as the Giants’ best lineman.

“As long as Strahan is on this team, it’s always going to be about Strahan,” he said. “I’m just going to play my role and do exactly what I can.”

It would be an understatement to say Umenyiora has absorbed a vast reservoir of football knowledge by watching and listening to Strahan. Umenyiora – who turned 25 last month, five days before Strahan turned 34 – said the most valuable lessons have come when they’re not in uniform.

“I was able to watch him off the field to see how he handles himself,” Umenyiora said. “That’s helped my career a lot more than it has watching him on the field.”

Strahan has always been a maniacal worker. It took Umenyiora some time to understand the value of working regularly in the weight room and on conditioning. But after Strahan suffered a torn pectoral muscle that forced him to miss the second half of the 2004 season, Umenyiora vowed to become a weight room warrior – and he did.

“On the field, we’re totally different players – he’s a power player and I’m more of a speed player,” Umenyiora said. “I watched him and realized why he’s great. He works very, very hard – that’s where I get my work ethic from, watching him. In the offseason between my first and second year I’d come in and whatever they asked me to do, I’d do it and then get up and leave. I wasn’t watching extra film, I was getting extra workouts in. I wasn’t doing anything.

“Then I started watching him. He didn’t know it. He would tell me, ‘Come work out with me,’ and I’d say ‘No, I’m tired.’ Then I’d watch him in games and say, ‘Why is he able to do all that stuff?’ It was because he was working out constantly. On the practice field he was running hard and working harder than anybody. He was doing all that stuff, so I knew I had to start doing what he’s doing. Now I work out and do all that stuff, watch film and get my body right. And it started working for me. You’re going to start getting that much better than anybody else, because of the extra work you put in.”

Umenyiora tries to take advantage of his exceptional speed by wearing cleats normally worn by receivers.

“I started doing it my last year in college,” he said. “I felt like I was faster than everybody, so I put on receiver cleats. It stuck – I kept on doing it. I get a little less support, but I get extra tape on my ankles.”

Umenyiora has also learned to use more than just his physical ability. He enters every game with a plan for attacking the tackle in front of him.

“I study my opponent and I see what his weakness is and I try to attack his weakness over and over and over again,” Umenyiora said. “Once I see what I’m doing isn’t working, I start using the other things I’m good at.”

The strategy has worked so well that Umenyiora is enjoying a breakout season – whether he wants to admit it or not."

Man we suck. Eli freaking blew it hard and again, the defense has to win the game for us. I think Eli needs to come through and make it up to the defense for all the times they have saved his ass.

Hopefully McKenzie and Pierce will be alright. We're screwed for sure if Pierce isn't able to return. The D really missed him yesterday.

Looks like he could be out for the season and come back for the playoffs. Hopefully we can still win the division or at least make the playoffs without him. Nick Griesen had better step it up.

^ Because it's a high ankle sprain, and those take a while to get over. I think that he will do everything he canto play against the skins, but I won't be surprised if he is out for the remainder of the regular season.
