I'm sorry you're going through that and hoping for the best outcome for you.

Quote from: MightyGiants on December 27, 2022, 05:57:24 PMHow are you making out with those issues?

Was off chemo for 6 weeks. Didn't get good news on my last scans so the doctor put me back on it. Been a struggle but meaningful Giants football and discussion is a plus. But overall the tumors are smaller than when first diagnosed so I am still on the good side. The cold weather - let me tell - it f'n blows though lol.

I hope it's successful, and you don't endure the side effects.

I would hope it wouldn't.  Lol

AP,

I'm sorry to hear that you got news that you had to go back on chemo during the holiday season. I hope this phase is short-lived and that you get through all of this as soon as possible and with as little discomfort as possible.

Ironically, the wife and I escaped the cold by visiting my parents and our oldest in Maine for the holidays. It was 60 degrees warmer here than Co.  However, no we're stuck as we're 'victims' of the airlines.

Thanks DB, unfortunately as rare as my condition is - my doctor believes I'll have to the rest of my life at age 41. But it should be managed. Surgery and transplant were worse options.

I am sorry to hear that (but I like the little bit of good news), we are all pulling for you.

Quote from: GMenRF on December 27, 2022, 05:40:13 PMYet you ignore the WR group and TE.  Plus the fact that Cousins had the luxury to learn the system for 3 years before becoming the full time starter.

That's stability and structure that Jones does not have the luxury of.  He is in year 1 of a completely new system and philosophy.  Like what Banks said in the video posted earlier.  The team just do not have the luxury having solid pass blocking to take multiple shots down the field.

To everyone saying we don't have talent at RB, WR, and TE, what are you all basing that on? It's not PFF grades, it's not stats, so what is it?

We have a 1250yd 10TD pro bowler at RB, many here claim Bellinger is a very good find in the draft (I agree) who has played well, at Tight End, Slayton is posting WR2 numbers, him and Hodgins are both outplaying many of the WRs people wanted them to trade for, their PFF grades are also higher than many of the receivers, they are graded amongst the top half of the league. Hodgins in recent weeks has been a TD magnet.

So again, if we have no talent or weapons, what is that being based on? Because it seems to me we have several along with an Elite LT

PFF say something differently; the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. 

I may be in the minority, but I am not a huge Bellinger fan. I think he's a solid and could be a very good 2nd TE. As a receiver, I just don't see anything special.

If Michael Mayer in 223 or Brock Bowers is available in 2024, I wouldn't even hesitate to take them.
