LATEST STORIES FROM GMEN DEN
Pierce could miss rest of season
A day or two after Tom Coughlin was beaming about all of his players practicing for the first time this season and cracking a joke about, “well, we haven’t showered yet”…..shocking news hit the team hard about LB Antonio Pierce possibly missing the rest of the...
Brandon Jacobs should run wild Sunday
If you own Brandon Jacobs in your fantasy league, chances are you have been extremely disappointed. The guy who was a consensus Top 10 draft pick and certainly RB1 has delivered zero 100 yard games and has just 2 rushing scores. He even had to deflect criticism from Fox’s...
Getting healthy at the right time
When the Giants lost to the Chargers 11 days ago, the overwhelming consensus was that they played much better than they had in the three previous weeks in losing to New Orleans, Arizona, and Philadelphia, respectively. One reason for that is that LB Michael Boley returned, as did...
A little late for complaint
One of the funnier things to happen over the bye week was when Giants’ owner John Mara filed a complaint with the NFL about the schedule–namely, that his team had to play on Thanksgiving night away from home. And it wasn’t so much the being away from their families...
Day off Sunday treats G-men well
If you had told me that during the Giants’ bye week, their situation, and in particular, their playoff outlook would improve, almost drastically, I would have laughed. But here we sit on Monday, the day after losses by Atlanta, Dallas and Philly have put the Giants right back...
Another writer puts things in perspective
I don’t always pay as much attention as I should to what everyone else is writing about the Giants, but I probably should. And you should also pay attention to what Sports Illustrated’s Don Banks had to say, because it sure does make a lot of sense.
Basically Banks...
Red zone, green zone, zone of blues
Tom Coughlin refers to the red zone as the green zone, because his take on that is that red means stop and green means go. Well, whatever you call it, the Giants have the blues when it comes to plays inside the 20 yard line. And we’re not just talking on offense here.
These...
So what do we really think about our chances now?
As Giants’ fans, we feel beat up after four straight defeats. And really, after losing to the Eagles as bad as we did last Sunday, I thought the season was essentially over. But after considering history and reality, it only made sense that the G-men would rebound against...
Call it like it is–the sky is now falling
Okay folks. When the Giants lost two in a row, we knew we were in trouble. Then when they lost to the Eagles badly in Philly last Sunday, major problems were exposed and the season was pretty much on the brink at 5-3 with a tough schedule remaining. So naturally when we in the media [...]
Giants vs. Chargers preview
The Giants enter tomorrow’s home game against San Diego with something to prove. They began the season 5-0 but have now dropped three straight games to New Orleans, Arizona and Philadelphia, respectively. Everyone is saying the Giants’ soft schedule to start the season...
We’re gonna win this one, I can feel it
For the last three weeks, I’ve had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when it comes to the Giants. Like I knew they were destined to lose all three games to New Orleans, Arizona and Philly. I hate when that gut feeling is correct, but it usually is. Just like the feeling [...]
5 Questions with Anthony Blake of ChargingBolts.com
Each week we interview the opposing Fanball.com blogger for the Giants, and this week that is Anthony Blake of ChargingBolts.com…..
GMenDen: Now that the Giants are in free fall, how do you expect the Chargers to capitalize?
ChargingBolts: Being that this game is in New York...
It’s time to stop talking and start doing
For the last three weeks, we’ve been hearing the same thing from Giants players and coaches–that they need to stop making mistakes, need to start executing and need to step up their play in general. Kind of sounds like a broken record after three straight losses that...
Um, what was THAT?
One loss to the high-flying Saints? Okay. A tough home loss last Sunday night against Arizona? Tough to swallow, but not a complete disaster. Yesterday’s self-destruction in Philly? Embarrassing, devastating and possibly season-threatening. The Giants looked as bad...
Giants vs. Eagles preview
So tomorrow is the big showdown between the Giants and Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. It’s the first time these teams have faced off since January, when the Eagles ended the Giants’ season in what G-men players and coaches would say was premature. After all, the...
5 questions with Joe Burt of EaglesHaveLanded.com
It’s Giants/Eagles week, and that means one of the fiercest rivalries in sports. Add to this the fact that the Yankees and Phillies are currently facing off in the World Series, and there is a heightened sense of venom between New York and Philly sports teams and their fans...
Giants need to get some pressure on McNabb
We keep hearing from Eli Manning and his receivers about the need to execute and limit mistakes. That’s going to be a key factor Sunday against the Eagles, because it will be noisy and there will be plenty of pressure coming from the guys in green.
But we also keep hearing...
Raise your hand if you have that uneasy feeling….
Even though the G-men have sort of dominated the Eagles in Philly the last few seasons, winning the last four regular season contests there, I have a very uneasy feeling heading into Sunday’s showdown. I know all of you do too, because the Eagles have beaten the Giants the...
Giants squander opportunities again, lose second straight
It’s never easy to swallow a loss, but now the Giants have lost two straight games after starting the season 5-0. It was shades of last season at the end of the season last night, as mistakes and poor execution cost the G-men—and the Cardinals took advantage of mistakes and did...
Giants vs. Cardinals preview
Okay, we got that one loss out of the way last week against New Orleans, and now it’s time to start putting some W’s together like last year after that awful Monday night downer against Cleveland. You remember, right? The Giants went on to win seven straight and clinch...
5 questions with Mark Polishuk of Desert Flock
Each week we talk to our opposing blogger in the Fanball.com network, and this week that is Mark Polishuk of Desertflock.com, the official correspondent for the Arizona Cardinals. Here is our 5 questions interview:
GMenden: It looks like the Cardinals are on a nice roll now and the...
Giants will have to air it out Sunday
Coming off their first loss of the season last Sunday, the Giants would probably want to get back to the ground attack that they have had so much success with in recent seasons. But wait. The Arizona Cardinals come to town, and surprisingly boast the #1 rushing defense in the...
Okay, let’s take a deep breath now
I know you’re all hurting. I was pretty bummed out as I sat at Paul Brown Stadium amongst Bengals fans (who were all bummed out too) watching the scoreboard and its upticks for the Saints. It’s like every time they got around to showing the score, New Orleans had scored...
Ugly Ugly Ugly
The Giants were due for a bad game, weren’t they? I hope that’s how we can explain away their 48-27 thrashing at the hands of the Saints in the Big Easy yesterday, because the elephant in the room here is that against more talented competition, the G-men may not measure...
Giants vs. Saints preview
Sometimes we have life that gets in the way of football. Well in the case of this Sunday, I have football getting in the way of football. My buddy Dave and I meet somewhere each year for a game, and this year it’s Sunday in Cincinnati for Bengals/Texans, which, when we bought...
