Giants vs Raiders: Keys to Victory
The Giants play the NFL's laughing stock, at the Meadowlands the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, in a game that should be an easy win for Big Blue. Las Vegas seems to think the Giants are going to cruise to a victory, being that the Giants are the biggest favorites of 2009 so far (-16.5). Of course injury concerns may make this a more difficult game for the Giants than any of us could...

Giants @ Chiefs: Keys To Victory
The 3-0 Giants head to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the 0-3 Kansas City Chiefs for their third road contest in a row. Kansas City is a team rebuilding right now, and they do not look like much of a challenge for this physical Giants team. Of course the Giants will be once again missing a few key players, and this is the NFL, where any team can win on any given Sunday. Here are the...

Giants Thoughts 9/29
The New York Giants are fresh off a dominating performance in Tampa Bay, where they beat the lowly Buccaneers 24-0 to improve to 3-0 overall. There were a few things that jumped out at me during this game:
The Giants were dominant defensively, as Tampa was unable to get any drives going, they only had five first downs to the Giants 27. The Giants ran 76 plays to Tampa's 36. The...

Giants @ Tampa: Keys to Victory
I am crushed by this Kenny Phillips injury. Just crushed. When a young player with such a bright future has his season end like this, it is just devastating. We will get to that later. This weekend the Giants, who are 2-0 with both wins coming against division foes, go to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers. Tampa bay has struggled this season in many ways and are 0-2, but they have...

The Giants placed star safety Kenny Phillips on injured reserve this afternoon, as he will have microfracture surgery on his injured knee, according to NJ.com. Phillips was tied for the team lead with 13 tackles and led the Giants with two interceptions through two games this season.
Allow me to be sick.

Kenny Phillips' Season in Jeopardy???
Terrible news, Giants fans. A league source has told profootballtalk.com that the cartilage damage to the knee of star safety Kenny Phillips is worse than the Giants once thought. No final decisions have been made by the team on weather a medical procedure will be needed on Phillips' injured knee.
I would like to mention that, after being shell shocked for a second, I am having trouble...

They have got to be the clear cut favorites in the NFC East right now, and nearly all of the power rankings have the Giants rated as the best team in the NFL.

Giant Fans, Welcome Aboard Air Eli
"Fasten Your Seatbelt" Sign Officially OnThe biggest question going into this season was "Can the Giants'
put some mojo back in to their passing attack?" That question, of
course, was prompted by the glaring hole left in the offense by the
untimely departure of Plaxico Burress.The
last time we saw the Giants' passing game in action, they looked
feeble, small and weak. QB Eli Manning...

Giants vs Patriots and Roster Thoughts
This was a game with many highs and lows for the Giants. The good news is the highs were mostly by players who are sure to make the roster and the lows were players who are likely to be cut within the next 24 hours. I am not going to give a play by play breakdown, just the highlights - then we'll get into the final roster.
Sinorice Moss made his case to stick on the roster tonight...

Sorry we had no breakdown of all of the news going on with the Giants right now, from the Jets preseason game through the situation with Osi Umenyiora, but I just returned to town from a wedding. I am not going to bother with a play by play breakdown of the Jets game, because that is old news by now, but I will share some thoughts on everything Giants:
The situation between Osi...

Hakeem "The Dream" and Notes From Practice
This is some of the most encouraging news I have read all offseason. According to Ralph Vacchiano of the Daily News, rookie wide receiver and first round pick Hakeem Nicks had "a dream practice" in Albany yesterday. Nicks was hampered by a bad hamstring earlier in camp, which he admitted got in his head and caused him to struggle, but he is 100% healthy now. It showed yesterday as...

Preseason Thoughts - Giants in Chicago
I was at a bachelor party all weekend, but thanks to the magic of DVR I am watching the GEEEEMEN take on the Bears on Sunday. The opening video is amazing, showing a bunch of the Giants including Justin Tuck who says "The sky is the limit for this team."
Carl Banks keeps saying the Giants have a lot of JAG's at receiver which stands for "Just Another Guys"...

great draft of 2007, which yielded eight players on the current roster,

windfall has allowed the team to take on greener players in the two
subsequent drafts. For instance, the players taken in the 2008 draft

Bradshaw Integral To Blue Success
The Giants pride themselves on being a "run-first" team.The last time the Giants did not had a 1,000-yard rusher was 2001. Last season they became part of an elite group when both Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward both breached the 1, 000 yard mark.2008
was perhaps the Giants' best rushing season ever. They led the league
in rushing yards with 2,518 and averaged an incredible 5.0...

Ramses Barden Impressive at Giants Camp
Ramses Barden, the 6'6 229lb rookie wideout, has been the offensive standout of Giants camp. If he keeps playing this way, the Giants will not be able to keep him off of the field in 2009. I have always said it is going to take Barden a few years to develop and become a wideout who can contribute on the NFL level regularly. It seems I may be wrong here, and Barden could be a bigger...
