• To Rest or Not to Rest? Giants Again Face End-of-Season Decisions

  What a luxury it is to face these decisions. After several seasons of mediocre play and futility, the New York Giants have played themselves into a spot in which we can write some of our own story. First, since this is my first thread since our thrilling victory on Sunday night, I want to say what a pleasure this season has been. To continue to build on last year’s improbable run despite all of the injuries, adversity, and uncertainty is amazing. We are putting together one of the best years in Giants...

• Giants News & Notes -- 12.23.08

  The New York Giants are back and ready for action. After their epic win against the Panthers last Sunday, Big Blue is preparing to keep themselves on the radar by (most likely) playing to win against the Vikings this Sunday. It's no secret that coach Tom Coughlin has never been a fan of resting players or "playing it safe," so it should come as no surprise that the early reports indicate Coughlin will have his team ready to go on Sunday. And now, the rest of today's Giants news...

• Giants Victory Key to Unlocking Momentum

  The New York Giants exited Weeks 14 and 15 with their tails between their legs. After lambasting the vast majority of their scheduled adversaries throughout the 2008 season, the Super Bowl Champs, slayers of the Patriot juggernaut of 2007, sauntered out of Texas Stadium looking as if they may very well end up "riding off into the sunset" as nothing more than a recollection of a once terrorizing team. Plaxico Burress' gunshot heard 'round the world, retirement, injuries, pressure...

• Giants Best Carolina, Clinch NFC's #1 Seed

  Well fellow Giants fans...our beloved Big Blue have once more given us reason to put up with the heart attacks, ulcers and gray hairs. After two games (Eagles and Cowboys) of looking only nominally superior to the Lions, the New York Football Giants returned to their true form, emerging victorious against their chief rival in the NFC, the Carolina Panthers. In an epic, 34-28 Overtime win, the New York Giants clinched the #1 seed in the NFC, securing a first-round BYE and homefield advantage throughout...

• Brandon Jacobs Out, Danny Ware In on Sunday

  It's official. Brandon Jacobs , after re-aggrevating his knee last week, has been declared Out for the New York Giants match-up against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday night. This move has been the general consensus among the media throughout the week, predicting that Jacobs would rest against the Cowboys to insure he is ready to play against the Carolina Panthers next week...a game that may very likely dictate which NFC team snags Home-Field Advantage throughout the playoffs. As a result of Jacobs'... Posted Dec 12 2008, 11:54 PM by Scarroll with | with 30 comment(s) Filed under: Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward, Ahmad Bradshaw, Danny Ware

• Giants Feeling at Home as Media Underdogs

  It’s Armageddon for Giant fans. We might as well put the foam fingers back in the closet along with our aspirations of repeating as World Champs, right? If you have listened to any number of ESPN analysts, less Mark Schlereth, the Giants are now a second-rate, half-the-team-they-used-to-be, ball club. Since Sunday’s loss to the Eagles, the media approval of the Giants has been dropping like The Hartford’s stock. As The HIG has since been improving, the media have not taken their foot off of the Giants...

• Giants Win 23-7 -- Sweep Redskins!

  After playing in Week 1, the word from Washington Redskins fans was that the New York Giants got lucky in their timing. The Redskins didn't have their new offense set yet, they weren't used to their new coach yet and they would give the Giants a rough time later in the season. Well, on November 30, 2008, the New York Giants beat the Washington Redskins 23-7, sweeping the NFC East rivals. This game was a joy to watch. The Giants did not seem to be fazed in any way by anything the Redskins...

• Giants To Be Tested Without Jacobs?

  It seems that the Brandon Jacobs saga continues to unfold. Since Dan Benton posted the original news that Jacobs' injury would not impact his game time, reports are surfacing all over the place indicating that the Giants Mack Truck RB will likely sit out this week's game against Arizona. It is true that the MRI came back showing that there was no structural damage in Jacobs' knee, however, according to #27, he may take a seat against the Cardinals just to be on the safe side. Jacobs shared... Posted Nov 18 2008, 07:06 PM by Scarroll with | with 104 comment(s) Filed under: Brandon Jacobs, Tom Coughlin, Derrick Ward, Ahmad Bradshaw, Jerry Reese

• Giants vs. Eagles -- Early Recap

  This space is typically reserved for Hazem's statistical and analytical breakdown of the game, but since he is one of many who are completely exhausted from the game, not to mention feverishly crunching numbers and reviewing film (heheh), I thought I would step in and put a quick conclusion on the day. First off, WHAT A GAME!!!! The New York Giants are now 8-1 and have beat each of their division rivals once. This team continues to show its resiliency and win each game as if it were the Super...

• Giants Gel As Season's Second Half Unfolds

  Not too long ago I wrote a piece about how the Giants were at a turning point in their season. They had picked apart all but one of their opponents in Act I of the 2008 season, losing only to the Cleveland Browns. However, the most difficult part of their season had yet to arrive. Would they stand up to the challenge? Or would they regress and fall apart? Thus far, this New York Giants team is stepping up to the challenge. After taking to a potentially venomous Steelers team (who took down the Giants...

• Giants News & Notes -- 9.18.08

  Lots of odd things going on in and around Giants camp today. The Giants head back home for a matchup against a struggling Bengals team who is desperate as all get-out to snag a win. As I mentioned earlier in the week, the Giants are not taking any teams lightly this year, even an 0-2 team the week before the BYE. And now...all the Giants news that's fit, or not, to print: Injury Updates: It appears that Mathias Kiwanuka is going to be back in good shape for the Bengals game this Sunday. Further...

• An In Depth Look at the NFL's Best Rushing Attack

  So Earth, Wind, and Fire is the best NFL nation can do in naming the NFL's top rushing trio? That said (not that it REALLY matters), I want to focus in on what makes this Giants running game so effective and why I think it can be sustained a year. Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward, and Ahmad Bradshaw all bring something different to the table and all three could at the very least be half of a top notch dual rushing attack on every team in the NFL. As talented as they are, don't even think about... Posted Sep 16 2008, 10:49 PM by Syvertsen56 with | with 84 comment(s) Filed under: Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward, Ahmad Bradshaw

• Giants Won't Overlook "Trap Games"...Right?

  It's a common phrase heard throughout the NFL and particularly from fans/media talking about the New York Giants. The meaning of "trap game," as I understand it, is a game that should easily be won, and as a result, teams under-estimate their opponent and lose. Typically, these games are against opponents that have mediocre to poor records and seem to pose no threat. The Giants have lost these games in the past. There was the notorious Titans game (Week 12, 2006 season) with the "almost...

• Giants Offense Needs an Identity

  As I was watching the second Monday Night Football game between the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos, I was reminded of something I saw in the opener last week. The Raiders have a rushing attack that could potentially be top notch in the NFL. Darren McFadden and Justin Fargas complement each other with the perfect combination of hard nosed running and breakaway speed. The Raiders were, for the most part, gaining 4+ yards whenever they handed the ball off yet their offense struggled to pose any...

• 2008 Training Camp: July 30 PM Practice Report

  NOTE: SS Giants 101 now has a correspondent in Albany for training camp, and also expects to have another correspondent in Rob Nargi at camp later this week bringing you photos and updates from camp. These on-site updates should be starting within the next day or two. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: - On the injury front, DE Justin Tuck and WR Mario Manningham both did not participate in the evening practices. Reports are that Tuck had "soreness" and Manningham is still... Posted Jul 30 2008, 11:40 PM by Scarroll with | with 85 comment(s) Filed under: R.W.
