Game Thread W8 - Tampa Bay V NY Giants (1 Viewer)

[Bri]

Bryant got that just inside the goalpost. They should name a day after him

 

[Bri]

Is the wind swirling at Giats stadium or one obvious direction?I'd swear the Bucs way they can throw it deep while the G-men keep throwing it deep and having it hung up in the air.It seemed they were only mildly concerned about Carter there

still think the wind was in Tampa's favor this Q. Curious if G-men go deep a bunch in the 3rd Q

 

[Bri]

Giants run out clock

Time for lunch

 

[EdwardCat]

Let's hope Barber does something in the second half. He's been invisible in the 1st half.

 

[Bri]

Tiki 14 for 35 2.5 avg and no catches

Buress wide open a few times

Barber's switched jerseys before the game

 

[Sputnikv8]

Shockey playing?

 

[Bri]

Shockey playing?

He must not be angry. He's not playing well and has 2 or 3 drops

Crud. Must be all the TD's the past 2 games. He's gotten complacent and gentle. I hate it when he does that.

 

[Bri]

Did they switch directions?

 

[Bri]

22 yard run by Tiki

 

[Bri]

Announcer is saying some Giant players say Tiki quit on them? Huh? who? I hadn't heard that

 

[Bri]

Risky punt catch, Giants should have nailed him

 

[Bri]

lol at bank commercial

 

[dparker713]

Is Shockey even remotely open on these targets, or is he dropping passes left and right?

I swear, he's the most overrated player in the league.

 

[harryhood]

lol at bank commercial

during that commercial anyone pickup them showing those two guys in hallloween masks? If you can get that dialogue that he was yelling it is pretty F'n

 

[Bri]

nice run by grads, then pass to becht for 6(?)

 

[Bri]

Bad throw by Grads to galloway, out of bounds

 

[EdwardCat]

It must be frustrating for Giants fans to watch Manning screw up third down after third down.

 

[Bri]

Punt to 20.

Couldn't tell who but some Giant STer pushed his man into Bidwell. Quiet unexciting but very nice play coaches will eat up

 

[Avery]

Announcer is saying some Giant players say Tiki quit on them? Huh? who? I hadn't heard that

A couple of media personalities (New York Daily News columnist Gary Myers and Tom Jackson and Michael Irvin on ESPN) surmised without any knowledge of the situation whatsoever that some Giants players would view Tiki's retirement announcement as a distractions.Tiki lashed back at them by calling them "'idiots' because they have neither spoken to me nor any one of my teammates or any of my coaches".No Giants team members have even hinted that this is true to the slightest degree.

I like ManningBlame I'd guess:Wind on a few, Shockey on some more, then a few with Eli

ahathanks for clarifying

 

[Bri]

Buress dove for an 8 yard catch.

Tiki seemed stuffed outwide by Bolden, then Tiki did a Bavaro impression and carried Bolden

 

[EdwardCat]

Another failed attempt on 3rd down for Manning.

 

[Bri]

Another failed attempt on 3rd down for Manning.

switching game to gameHe was sacked though right? by Niece(sp?)

 

[Capella]

GD these guys are horrible. Philly and Cincy should be ashamed to have lost to them.

 

[Bri]

Shockey and Jacobs were wide there, least Shockey finally caught the ball

BTW Tiki joined Marcus and Marshall as the only RBs with (IIRC) 5k rec and 9k rushing

 

[dB02]

Is there any chance that TB covers +9 for anyone watching the game?

 

[Capella]

Is there any chance that TB covers +9 for anyone watching the game?

It'll probably take a defensive TD.Over 7 quarters since the offense has hit the paint.

 

[EdwardCat]

Manning has to be the worst 3rd down QB I've ever seen. Yet another 3rd and out.

 

[EdwardCat]

Jacobs in there now. It is safe to say that today is a bust for Barber. Amazing considering what he did against top defenses the two weeks before.

 

[a_rackowski]

When is Tiki going to start breaking some of these runs off for 20 and 30 yard gains?

[Capella]

Boy, Gradkowski looked completely lost today. That was ugly.

 

[Biabreakable]

The Bucs throw the ball 48 times with a rookie Qb in adverse wind conditions while only running the ball 10 times (not counting the 3 Qb scrambles).

Brilliant game plan chuckie!!

Giants D is ferocious with the pass rush 3-4 weeks in a row they're all over the QB 3 out of 4 plays. The right team will use their veteran tackle to let em' make that fast first step then hit em' and they'll pound the ball enough to keep em' honest. The last few weeks teams have been in panic mode. Only 2 sacks this week but 3 forced fumbles and a ridiculous # of QB pressures. I think 6 and 7 sacks the two weeks before. Keep in mind Osi sat this week.BTW Accorsi gets major props for going with his gut and getting Kiwi even though the need didn't seem to be there. He really does seem special.I gotta say with Tampa's great D of not too long ago, I thought maybe just maybe they might know how to counter. Instead Brooks watched the opposing team do what he used to do
