BrunellFan 08-20-2004, 02:22 PM What is the deal with all of the attention that the Giants are getting for PRESEASON games all of a sudden?
First, it was Ron Dayne, who had a decent game, yeah, but in the first game of the preseason... which means nothing.
Then we have Eli Manning, who had an allright game, but if you watched Sports shows and looked on the web... its a total media ORGASM over this kid who had one good preseason game.
Suddenly the Giants are playoff bound.
Sorry, but if you look at the Giants, they are easily the worst team in the NFC East, and Im just sick about how a couple of preseason games have somehow made people forget that.
joethiesmanfan 08-20-2004, 02:35 PM i would rather have Eli than brunnel or ramsey on the redskins. the giants are horrible we better not lose to them.
ArringtonRules 08-20-2004, 02:38 PM The Giants are terrible. Their offensive line is not all that great. I hope we play them early and often (if that were possible), as it would make our D look great!!
Eli i think is being hyphed up n is overrated. He was allright, but this was just the first game he was in for crying out loud. Time will tell whether he is going to be good as his brother. His offensive line has to get better if he wants to be good.. they SUCK
Redskins_P 08-20-2004, 02:42 PM If you remember, ESPN has been sucking Eli's di** since the draft.......
I really don't care too much about how much exposure the Giants are getting right now......the Redskins as we all know is the better team
JWsleep 08-20-2004, 02:44 PM Eli was the biggest story in the draft, given the trade, his brother and father, etc. So it's no suprise that they're getting coverage. Actually, I think the coverage is bad news for Coughlin and the gints. The rabid NY press will demand that Eli start, putting crazy pressure on the already suspect Warner. Then, if Eli gets in, everyone will expect him to win instantly, and soon enough, the same press that was shrieking for him to start will crucify the kid. All this as they try to rebuild with a new coaching staff. Good luck, suckers.
Whatever. We must best the gints twice this year if we have a shot at the playoffs. And we should beat them twice. I live up here, and I just can't take it anymore! F*** THE F***ING GIANTS!!!!
NY teams always get alot of media attention, especially the Giants and especially with Manning and his whole refusing to play for SD debacle. Not to mention he comes from the royal family of QB's and of course the media is all over them.
Maybe I'm just used to it living here in NY.
That Guy 08-20-2004, 03:18 PM eli is the next peyton, and everyone wants to watch him grow... he's like a chia pet or something; I don't blame them, people want to hear it. dayne looked better than last year, but he really isn't very good (the gints keep their title as the biggest offensive turnover threat though :))
Carnage 08-20-2004, 03:21 PM I've seen the games, and none of the commentators seem to expect much from the G-men, it's just the Eli angle. Plus, Ratings are ratings, and the NYGiants are probably getting more than anyone in the preseason.
Yeah there is alot of hype regarding Manning, but I haven't heard anyone call them a playoff team, not even close.
Davnpurt 08-20-2004, 03:29 PM How long till Brenda Warner comes out of the stands and replaces Kurt? 2 weeks, maybe 3?
