Anybody else impressed by how accurate the viking in the Snickers' commercial is with the trash cans?

Very impressed.

More accurate than Tarvaris Jackson.

I don't care what anyone says Randy Moss is the best receiver in the game right now!

He has incredible hands, but his route running is sub-par. He is who he is, because of the team he is on. If he is so great, where was he in Oakland?

"sub-par" , lol.

Maybe he meant sub-par compared to other hall of fame receivers?

I would consider that as a truth.

Just to clarify - no I mean sub-par among any NFL WR standards. He has always been a poor route runner. Back in the MIN days sometimes he didn't even run routes, he just ran down field looking for the open seam or he would just out-jump people for the ball. This isn't my opinion, this was made known from quotes by Daunte Culpepper after Moss left Minnesota. Moss is an incredible talent and that talent has lifted him to great heights, but he is no master at his craft, by any stretch.

 

[TommyKramer]

Kudos to the Giants for playing their starters this long. They have nothing to gain here, and they're playing like it's a real NFL game.(note: I feel that teams that have playoff spots locked up think of these types of games as exhibition games)

As long as this is close they will keep all of their starters in. Two reasons:1.) History2.) Huge confidence boost heading into the playoffs. And, for Manning this could help define his career.

 

[Statorama]

Now really, I'm not saying this to be a jag or anything, but how is that not illegal contact against Harrison on that play?

 

[Bobcat10]

At least Eli and the Giants came to play early...it's not like they're known for this.

Big drive right here...need to stop the Pats.

He has incredible hands, but his route running is sub-par. He is who he is, because of the team he is on and the protection his QB gets. If he is so great, where was he in Oakland?

Randy is one of the best ever but his gaudy numbers are a product of the system. Put TO on that team and he would have several take-it-to-the-house TDs because of the protection.

Plain and simple, Randy Moss is "the system" on whatever team he is on.

What isn't?

Hated that commercial at first but now i think its hysterical

The real Vikings should have him in for a workout at Quarterback.

More accurate than Tarvaris Jackson.

Helen Keller is more accurate than Jackson.

 

[Pat Patriot]

Wow, did Brady ever lift a weight in college?

How would Brady currently grade out in an NFL scouting type of combine compared to other NFL QB's?I mean, does he have a good arm vs. the average nfl QB? Is any of his success raw talent based? Or is he simply just an intelligent QB with good physical skills, and excellent intangibles and leadership?

Physically, hes now 6'4" 225 with one of the stronger arms in the league and decent foot speed. He's in the proto-typical mold now.

His foot speed is well below-average. He just knows how to slide in the pocket better than anyone since Marino.

I bet he couldn't hit the side of a barn in college. It's those damn PED's, you see.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Anybody else impressed by how accurate the viking in the Snickers' commercial is with the trash cans?

I'm with you. I saw him hit that spot twice. Nice aim.

 

[Jiggyonthehut]

JAGERBOMBS

 

[Statorama]

Just going to keep a runing tab of why the Giants lost this game:1. Toomer drop on third down2. Phantom illegal contact call against Giant defending Stallworth, negating a third down sack of Brady3. Moss gets away with pushing off on a TD catch4. Giants punt. You never give their offense the ball on purpose.

HGH, Steroids or Protien?:checks:

 

[PantherPower]

that is a great commercial.

He's no Vick, but he's hardly Leftwich/Bledsoe. Plus, he juked out Urlacher. His legs may not be a bonus, but they're hardly a negative.

 

[Statorama]

The Giants drop back into their "we're happy to only give up 7 yards per play" defense

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

WWelker gets tackled.... just shy....

....wait for it....

"It would appear he's just short''

....

 

[Cptchaz]

Heath Evans rushes...take a shot!

 

[zoonation]

just a thought...

does anyone else think the TD record has been totally under the radar? mean, when Manning was going to break Marino's record it was the biggest story in sports for at least a month.

 

[Bri]

update commercial, he's not a coach anymore

Neither are any of the other 'coaches' in that series....as far as I know.

good point

 

[King of the Wolfies]

when Brady was on pace to have 60 tds it was a huge story, i think its a letdown to the media if he barely breaks it

 

[Jeff Haseley]

Similar to McGwire chasing Maris > Bonds chasing McGwire

You're not crazy, the Manning thing was unbearable near the end of it. The perfect season aspect is overshadowing Brady's accomplishments, as well they should.

 

[Jeff Haseley]

LOL, he pushed off again.

 

[Bri]

that ball took forever to get there

 

[Cptchaz]

Damn, Brady could have run for the 1st

 

[mad sweeney]

Randy took that one off. He could've easily picked that out of the air if he tried.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Moss should have stopped and lept for it. Worst case the LB crashes into him for PI but Moss more than likely could have made catch anyway.

 

[Cptchaz]

NFLN ad...take a shot!

 

[King of the Wolfies]

Anyone have Gostowski this week? LOL

 

[Bri]

before I answer that Q, I must ask-is it man or woman cage fighting?

 

[Toons]

NFLN ad...take a shot!

What do you think the over/under is on NFL Network commercials tonight???

 

[King of the Wolfies]

i only watch about a dozen of the 90ish channels i have

 

[TommyKramer]

Anyone have Gostowski this week? LOL

 

[Cptchaz]

And the war of attrition is underway. Time of Possession does not help the Giants D in the least.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

WWelker gets tackled.... just shy........wait for it...."It would appear he's just short''....

Was about Gumballisms, not a height joke....

 

[MarshallRob]

NFL Network had a great shot set up: Brady on the sideline with Moss approaching him and the two starting to jaw about the TD that might have been and yet they cut away to show Bruschi for no reason. Why the addiction to these quick camera cuts?

 

[zoonation]

What time does that UFC card start?

 

[Statorama]

Just a casual observation, but seeing the Giants get flagged for holding on the kickoff reminds me of how good the Patriots are. I mean, they never get called for holding on kickoffs.

 

[Bri]

that would have skipped twice if Toomer hadn't grabbed it

 

[Jiggyonthehut]

Boss FTW.

 

[Jiggyonthehut]

Uh oh that doesn't look pretty. Shame that this could happen.



Thats the risk you run for trying.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Boss - Nice long term TE sleeper prospect.
