In what is called the Meadowlands/A team of green arrived/To quiet the masses who demand/That Big Blue should survive.
After a great week of practice, safety Antrel Rolle says the Giants were prepared to take on the Eagles. But the distinction he made next came as a surprise.
The feeling of euphoria and invincibility the Giants had after beating the Patriots two weeks ago? Yeah, that's gone. Long gone.
What a football game it wasn't! How (not) fun!
Coach Tom Coughlin made no excuses for how his Giants, specifically, the offense, failed to bring the proper intensity needed to beat the desperate Philadelphia Eagles. The horror show was all on tape, anyway.
Tom Coughlin didn't mince words. "This is as big a disappointment as we have had around here in a long time," he said after the Giants' poor showing Sunday night.
Mark Herzlich's debut as a full-time NFL player had its moments -- both good and bad.
Last year, the Eagles destroyed the Giants' season with a 28-point onslaught in the final seven minutes. This time, Andy Reid's team used a slow and excruciating method to hurt Big Blue once again.
Eli Manning and the Giants fumbled on their final drive in the fourth quarter to lose to their division rivals 17-10.
New York also lost backup cornerback Derrick Martin to a hamstring injury.
DeSean Jackson's near replay of his winning punt return of last season helped the undermanned Philadelphia Eagles take a 10-3 halftime lead over the New York Giants on Sunday night.
o speed the growing process, the undrafted Paysinger said the rookies have been practicing all three linebacker positions this week, though it's likely Herzlich will get the start next to strong side linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka.
"We'll just see how the week goes," Andy Reid said of Vick on Thursday. Well, the Eagles have reportedly made up their mind.
Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Justin Tuck is going through one of those seasons that can best be described as an off year.
This may be the most challenging portion of the Giants' schedule, and not just because they need to grind out wins against some of their most difficult opponents.
Who will it be under center for the Eagles against the Giants? Michael Vick? Vince Young? Mike Kafka?
Moving his NFL picks from Thursday to Friday didn't work out well for Neil Keefe. But if starting pitchers can cite an extra day of rest between starts as their reason for failing then Neil can certainly use an extra day between picks as a reason for his struggles.
The "Dream Team" Eagles? Yeah, they're 3-6. Steve Smith has been a minor piece to the puzzling puzzle in Philadelphia, but he still doesn't regret leaving the NFC East-leading Giants (6-3).
You can't blame Tom Coughlin for being a little perturbed these days. His wide receivers keep getting into fixes these days with nightclubs and bullets.
While it might seem Big Blue relies too heavily on Manning's last-minute victory habit, safety Antrel Rolle insists it's not that way it all.
If you thought last week was bad like Neil Keefe did, then you can expect this week this week to be worse. Nine of the 16 games have spreads of three points or less (and the Giants-49ers line is 3.5).
That's right Neil Keefe is guaranteeing an over .500 week in Week 9 because that's how confident he feels when he makes his picks on Thursdays. He hasn't given a guarantee like that since Week 2.
The Giants just barely escaped with a win over the hapless Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Good thing too. Big Blue's schedule is about to get scary.
John Jastermki, WFAN Fantasy Phenom winner, joined Neil Keefe to talk about the Giants-Dolphins matchup, the Jets' postseason chances and other storylines around the NFL.
Neil Keefe makes his Week 8 picks and looks ahead, hoping and dreaming that the New York Football Giants will play a game after Week 17 for the first time in three years.
