Now if you just turn 1 TD throw that you have of Eli's into a pick 6 and you are getting closer to the actual score

Funny stuff. Thought I would pass it along.

Coughlin suspects Redskins' motives after signing ex-Giants QB Woodson

[SBXVII]

Wouldn't you know. Just when I think I'm on top of something I see someone already posted it under the QB Woodson thread.

alright any fan here who says that we're gonna get beat by 17 plus points or win by that much are idiots..I'm sorry I'm saying that but come on be real, its a division rival with a great offense and defense..

I really understand what you are saying. And I think you are wrong, for several reasons, and I will try very hard to keep it real.

1. This is definitely a trap game for the Giants. They are likely to remember last year's second game, and the press from the first. But if you really looked at that first game (which is better for comparison, due to relative health), they came out very strong, and in fact I expect that again, scoring on their opening drive. But our D ended up holding their "great offense" to 16 points.
2. Their "Great" Offense is substantially weaker this year, after losing Plax they were 1-3, and now Eli doesn't have a comfortable target to hit like he did.
3. AH is capable of occupying two OL at once, our DE is not sidelined with a calf injury.
4. Our secondary has a bonafide ball hawk in D Hall, and this is the type of "Great" Offense he can shine against. Eli when pressured forces throws wide and high. DHall loves those types of balls.
5. Their best weapon, BJacobs, is gonna have to get past AH. that will be fun to watch.
6. Their "Great" defense was improved by adding several backups to there already strong line, but now those backups are injured.
7. Their LB's and corners remain suspect, and our Receivers have shown that at least this year they will be targeted in games.
8. Finally, I am a homer, not an idiot, and I can easily add all these facts into a 17point swing for our team.

6 in one hand, half a dozen in the other. One division rival will start the season 1-0 and another will start 0-1. That is enivitable. Does not matter to me which one.

But if I were using my wallet, I would go ahead and stick with the spread and take the over. Giants are favored by 6.5, I predict they cover that. Giants by 7.

And I just hope LaRon Landry learned his lesson from last years season opener when he tried to tackle Brandon Jacobs one on one in the open field.

It's gonna be a tough game. All I'm going to predict is the Skins are going to surprise some people.

I just hope Jason Witten learned his lesson from last year playing Tampa when he had to leave the game due to bruised ribs. Probably to go over to stroke Romo who was out due to a pinky injury. What a bunch of pussys. Bruised ribs and pinkys...
