New York Giants: Any Given Sunday
September 29th, 2010 at 10:00 AM
The New York Giants loss to the Tennessee Titans hurt, but the season is not lost. In fact, the Giants 1-2 start isn’t even the worst in the league. In the NFC, Detroit and San Francisco started at 0-3. In the AFC, Cleveland and Buffalo started the same way at...
Hardest Thing to Accept? Lack of New York Giants Class
September 26th, 2010 at 7:55 PM
After allowing myself some time to adsorb the 29-10 beat-down courtesy of the Tennessee Titans, it's become apparent to me that the most difficult thing to accept about today's horrid performance isn't the turnovers, the special teams play or even the lack of fundamental football. Hell, it's not even the...
Giants vs. Titans: Keys to Victory
September 24th, 2010 at 11:11 AM
The New York Giants are 1-1 following a disappointing 38-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night football last weekend. In that game, the team did not play with any sense of urgency and looked uninspired, and it almost seemed as though they gave up once they found themselves...
Let “The Tom Coughlin Watch” Begin!
September 22nd, 2010 at 4:27 PM
It's time to cue the band once again.
Sunday's disastrous performance against the Colts' smelled eerily like a vintage 2009 Big Blue performance, with mistakes piled high and players appearing disinterested, topped off by the outbursts of supposed team leaders Antrel Rolle and Brandon Jacobs.
To some, New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin looks like...
Week 3: Looking Ahead for the New York Giants
September 22nd, 2010 at 6:00 AM
On Sunday, the New York Giants got their you-know-what’s handed to them by the Indianapolis Colts. Then there was the Brandon Jacobs trade rumor, followed by the comments of Antrel Rolle regarding the players and coaches. Now we know that Jacobs isn’t going anywhere. We know what Rolle thinks of...
NFL Fines Giants’ Brandon Jacobs $10,000
September 21st, 2010 at 4:28 PM
New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs has been fined $10,000 by the league for throwing his helmet into the stand during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
Although Jacobs said it was nothing more than an accident, some of the fans in attendance claim Jacobs was jawing back and...
Antrel Rolle: Coaches and Players Screwed Up
September 21st, 2010 at 12:41 PM
In a morning interview with WFAN, New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle wasn't doing much damage control. Rather, Rolle questioned the coaches, their decisions, his teammates and their ability on the field.
Rolle claimed the defensive gameplan was faulty, and even when the right schemes were called, the players were unable...
New York Giants Offensive Tackles Manhandled By Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis
September 20th, 2010 at 6:05 PM
Perhaps the big winners in the latest installment of the Brandon Jacobs saga are New York Giants offensive tackles David Diehl and Kareem McKenzie, whose disastrous performances Sunday night have been overshadowed by the Jacobs headlines.
Both Dwight Freeney (Diehl's man, mainly) and Robert Mathis (McKenzie's) recorded two sacks, but that...

September 20th, 2010 at 11:40 AM
According to ESPN's SportsCenter, New York Giants RB, Brandon Jacobs, is planning on approaching the Giants front office this morning to request a trade. This all follows a dismal Giants team performance that seemed to only be punctuated by Jacobs' throwing his helmet into the Colts fans.
Head coach Tom Coughlin...
Game Review: Colts 38, Giants 14
September 20th, 2010 at 8:04 AM
The New York Giants went into Indianapolis Sunday night feeling pretty good about themselves, coming off a hard-earned victory in their new stadium to start their season. They left Indianapolis looking like an overmatched, overwhelmed football team that wasn't ready for what they encountered. Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis absolutely...
Week 2: Giants vs Colts – Game Preview
September 18th, 2010 at 9:08 PM
The New York Giants started off the 2010 season the same way they started the past two seasons, with a win at home, this time against the Carolina Panthers. The Giants travel to Indianapolis this week, to take on Peyton Manning and the Colts, who lost their season opener to...
New York Giants vs. Indianapolis Colts Key Matchup(s)
September 17th, 2010 at 5:00 PM
In looking ahead to Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, I couldn’t decide which would be more of a key match-up: The Colts offensive line vs. the Giants defense or the Colts run defense against Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs.
Last week against the Houston Texans, the Colts allowed Peyton Manning...
Giants Win Leaves Room for Improvement
September 16th, 2010 at 10:00 AM
The New York Giants beat the Carolina Panthers 31-18 in the 2010 season opener last Sunday in the Meadowlands. Only the Titans, Patriots and Seahawks won by more points than the Giants during week one of the NFL season and the Giants clearly opened some eyes with the win. As...
Assessing the New York Giants Tight End Situation
September 15th, 2010 at 5:02 PM
With Kevin Boss sidelined for Sunday’s game against Indianapolis, the New York Giants are looking for players to replace him until he is healthy. Not only was Boss fourth in receiving among the Giants last season, but he’s a key blocker in the running game. At 6’6, 253 lbs., Boss...
G101 Writers Round Table — Kickoff Week
September 14th, 2010 at 7:41 PM
The New York Giants have won their first game, sloppy though it may have been. Hakeem Nicks caught three touchdowns from Eli Manning, and Manning through an additional three interceptions. Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs were able to salvage a decent run game thanks to a second half push. The...
New York Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin Insists (Again) There Are No “Starters”
September 13th, 2010 at 4:56 PM
In his Monday afternoon press conference, Giants head coach Tom Coughlin tried to brush off questions about who "started" where and who'll "start" where in the future.
"You [reporters] use that word over and over," said Coughlin, subtly admonishing the media for drumming up an issue where he thinks there should...
