Loading ...MetLife Stadium went unharmed during Hurricane Sandy, but that doesn't mean Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers will go unaffected for New York Giants fans. Because of the mass flooding across the state, New Jersey Transit will not run the train that usually bring upwards of 10,000 people to the stadium each week.
“We’re thinking about everything right now,” N.J. Transit spokesman Nancy Snyder said. “We’re trying to recover from the storm, and at this point it is too early to make that call.”
Rail service was initially suspended on October 28th at 4:00 PM EST, ahead of the storm, and remains down. There is no exact timetable for the service to return, although a decision for Sunday is expected to be made by tomorrow or on Saturday, November 3rd at the latest.
Because the Hoboken, New Jersey hub remains flooded, opening up additional bus service remains a possibility.
“There could be a possibility of putting out some extra buses in case the trains don’t run, but we won’t know that probably up until the last minute,” New York City’s Port Authority spokesman Mike Alvich. “If we see a need, we’re going to try to meet that need.”
In the event that additional busses are used to shuttle fans to the stadium, they will begin running at 1:00 PM EST until 4:00 PM EST, and then again 30 minutes after the end of the game. The fare will be $5 each way.
If you're headed to the game on Sunday, please make necessary alterations to your travel plans.

So I watched the replay of the game … and I have a few observations.
First off, there didn’t seem to be that many 3-man rushes. I think we over-react to that when we see it real time.
Secondly, Fewell did dial up several blitzes. And they even worked pretty well.
Thirdly, the defensive backs were around the ball. There weren’t a lot of wide open receivers. Oh sure… the odd busted play … but for the most part they were solid.
The simple truth is that Dallas made a lot of plays … Romo threw the ball really well … and they got into a rhythm.
There’s one thing we should have done though … and I’m surprised all teams don’t. Take Witten away. Romo locks on him like a heat seeking missile. When he has to go elsewhere is when he eff’s up. Make him do that. Make him adjust.
If you ever wondered how important player evaluation is … it’s worth noting that Stevie Brown was released by the Raiders, Panthers, and Colts. Yep, three bottom feeders passed on the guy. Which is one of the reasons why they’re where they are.
Great Point bro… That is one spot where this front office is light years beyond most. You see it time and time again through the draft, free agency, UDFA and people plucked off waivers from other teams. Guys like Hixon, Hedgecock, Andre Brown and Stevie Brown were all cut by bad teams before contributing big time for the NYG. How many guys cut by the giants ever become studs on other teams?
Heath Miller will be #7s “out” this weekend too.
Steelers are good, but if we play near 100% effort-level, we should win.
Of course specal teams, turnovers, ya da ya da, will prob dictate outcome.
fyi Steelers RT Mike Adams (rook from OSU) can be had. I’d put JPP on him ALL freakin’ day…
Miller is having a great season but we shouldnt under estimate that very talented young trio they have at WR.. Wallace, Brown and Sanders are as good a young trio as any in the NFL (Not named Nicks, Cruz, Randle). They do have a pretty porous pass blocking OLine so it could be a good week to see the pass rush catch fire. IF both safeties are out, Eli shoud have a field day as well. There is not a lot of speed on that defense as is, take away Clarke and Troy P and they are ripe for a 400+ yd 4 TD performance by eli and co..
