Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: Jclayton92 on January 21, 2023, 06:12:09 PMhow is 1 thing being similar more than 5 things being similar.. doesn't add up.

Because I am going on the facts. You are going on speculation. If this team makes it to Arizona your analogy will apply.

Quote from: Jclayton92 on January 20, 2023, 01:04:34 PMI'm genuinely surprised that no one has made a thread on the similarities to this season and the 2007 season yet so I'll do it without creating a new thread.

*First off Both super bowls are in Arizona.

*Both Qbs on their 4th year that had serious doubt going into the season and turned it around.

*Beat a divisional winner in the wild card that the media wasn't sold on(Bucs/Vikes).

*Beat the #1 seed Divison rival on the road (Cowboys/potentially Eagles)

*NFC championship on the road hostile blue blood match up (Green bay/49ers)

*Super bowl is on Fox like it was in 2007 and we would be heavy underdogs against a KC/Buf/Cincy.

*Giants won the 1st the London game in 2007, and won this season in London.

Probably because this season is more 1997 than 2007. The 2022 and 1997 had rookie head coaches taking over horribly flawed teams that kept missing the playoffs. The 2007 was already solid making the playoffs for the 3rd straight season.

Quote from: GMenRF on January 16, 2023, 05:31:41 PMThat's the problem, people actually listen to this clown and believes he makes a fair assessment.

This clown is the same guy who argued that Lawrence rookie year doesn't count because of who was his head coach last year and should be given rookie of the year this year.

Who has been coaching DJ the past 2 years before Daboll/Kafka got here that actually made him regressed instead of develop as a young player.

Exactly. Who the hell is Nick Wright and why should we care about his opinion? I have never heard of him.

Kurt Warner said the Giants should lose by 14 points on the NFL Network pregame coverage yesterday. I await his apology.

Quote from: Trench on January 11, 2023, 11:41:55 PMGood point.

To that - is anyone worried the Scottish Hammer will do something to hurt our chances on Sunday?

Not at all. I don't understand the grief he gets on this board. Was the botched fake punt his fault? He's a punter from Scotland, not a QB. I still miss the days when the backup QB was the holder to make fakes more likely to work.

Quote from: nb587 on December 31, 2022, 01:44:18 PMAlways wondered how different things would have been, if at all, if Bill Walsh had drafted Simms for the 49ers and the Giants drafted with Parcells.  I think Simmms would have been a great QB with the 49er offense and skill people.  Would have been interesting to see Montana as a game manager if that's what Parcells wanted him to be.

Parcells wasn't with the Giants for the 79 draft. Even if he was George Young had final say.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on December 31, 2022, 10:36:59 AMEli would raise his hands and do a small fist pump on hugely important TDs, like the one to Jake Ballard late in the 4th quarter in the regular season game in NE in 2011. He was not a big celebrator on routine TDs, which he obviously had tons of.

The past Giants QB who has a huge celebrator on TDs was Simms, not Eli. Simms went berserk on most of his TD throws (see below):

Simms is still my favorite Giants QB of all time. He had a heck of an arm and his offense was underrated due to all the attention the defense got. None of the wide receivers who caught to those long bombs got invited to a single pro bowl. He had every right to pump his fists.

Funny, I was just watching the 49-3 blowout against the 49ers in the 86 playoffs and Montana's thing was the to make a V for victory after touchdowns and at the end of the game. I rolled off my sofa when he made his V and then Jerry Rice coughed up the ball on the way to the endzone while being completely untouched.

That's nice but he only started 12 games in 2019. He needed 15 starts this season to pass his own best.

This is not a knock, just a fact.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on December 25, 2022, 12:10:17 PMBut, it takes 2 to tango and he might not be all that interested in re-signing with a team that hasn't been stable coaching wise and that has failed, in 4 years, to put more than a couple of decent pieces around him.  And if he looks back and sees how they essentially wasted half of Eli's career with the same problems . . .  I guess it depends on whether he has faith that the new regime can reverse the failures of the last 10 years.

I have no doubt that Jones will want to resign with the stable coaching staff he has now.

I though Jones was fantastic yesterday outside of a rare interception. I was watching the game with my dad who was a big Jones critic and we both expect him to be resigned. 

Here we go again. Another non-Jones thread derailed into another never ending Daniel Jones debate. Take it to the Jones thread that couldn't be any louder and brighter at the top of page 1. 

I spent a good half hour reading this last night and it is fascinating. I have always believed that we have been visited by aliens and that there are too many unexplained sightings by pilots that confirms that someone is out there watching us. If any of this is halfway true then NASA must know about it. It is crazy to think that while John Glenn was the first American to float around the globe in space there was a captured EBI or Eben still living and trying to communicate with his home planet 40 light years away.

I had a college friend who was reading a book that I think was called Out There back in 1994. I never got a chance to borrow it from him to read but asked him what the author was saying about us being visited. The book explained that there are 2 different groups of aliens that are or have visited us. One group is friendly while the other is hostile. Now after reading what the Caretaker told Reagan back in 1981 it sounds very similar. I was spooked enough to expect nightmares since I went to bed right after reading the briefing. Now I need to look up and see if I can find this book. 

I think because of all this crazy Time-Life documentaries that were promoted in the 90's many people think it is all made up or no one believes that an ET would just lurk the earth and study us. Because of movies like Independence Day people would expect a deadly invasion. BTW I am not into conspiracies. I've come to accept that Oswald probably acted alone and was a lone wolf. But life outside of earth does interest me.

I don't have Showtime but will figure out how to watch this eventually. One of the best things about Dio is that he was just an overall nice guy in an industry filled with jerks. Back in 1985 after seeing what pop artists did for starving kids in Africa with Band Aid and USA for Africa he put together an all-star heavy metal band called Hearin' Aid to raise money to fight famine. He and his band wrote the single Stars with multiple singles trading verses and in true metal fashion included about 15 different guitar solos. His quote at time was something along the lines of "If we are all a bunch a devil worshipers then why are we here trying to help starving kids eat?".

Quote from: TONKA56 on November 30, 2022, 07:56:35 AMGun violence psychology is not all that different from suicidal psychology. An industrial society had been created intentionally or not where people are forced to work in cubes...where they have ever ever diminishing opportunities for autonomy and self determination. We have moved away from the natural world. Social media is toxic to self esteem. Obviously I've grossly simplified this for the sake of brevity but the point is that the modern world is highly toxic to healthy self esteem and relationship with other humans.

Not easily fixed, but given the current climate, handing over all of our arms to a state that grows ever more totalitarian and hostile doesn't seem like a fantastic idea either.

I never suggested that! In fact no on this thread has. There are many things you can do beside doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING which is what the the NRA wants.

We are living in two different countries if you think the USA is a Totalitarian government.

After reading the last 2 pages of this thread it is clear that we will never fix the gun violence problem in this Country and we will continue to lead the world in mass shootings. There is no level of violence that will convince the hard liners that something needs to change.

Quote from: Ed Vette on September 02, 2022, 09:16:43 AMThe bad information put out there by those in the know, led to vaxx shaming and to this day people believe getting the vaccine will protect you from getting COVID. Yet the ignorant slam Joe Rogan and Aaron Rodgers. AR had to get tested every day while the vaxxed players once a week. They were getting COVID and he wasn't. Children were set back two years in reading by missing classes and although I don't love the Governor of Florida, he had it right.

I guess you missed the part about Rodgers having to miss a game because he.... tested positive for Covid! Then we all found out that he flat out lied about his vaccination status with his "i'm immunized" BS. If he was vaccinated he would have been out of COVID protocal in time to start the game that they lost because Julian Love sucks.

Joe Rogan, please! He's another anti-vax quack who spreads untruths on his podcast.

Ron DeathSantis is not right. He is a jerk who scolds children for wearing mask.
