Big Blue Huddle

What if we lifted up the uniforms and ran a new team in under them? It certainly couldn't be much worse, right?

Go, Big Blue!

We've just witnessed the New Jersey Jets cash in their chips and leave the table for the 2024/5 season.

I'm afraid the NJ Giants will do the same thing in a few short hours.

Thank goodness for the Liberty. We'll at least have one franchise we don't have to apologize for.

Go, Big Blue.

Hi, Giant Jim.

In response to your post, that's why I referenced the OMG Mets. The Mets already had the talent on the roster. It just wasn't clicking. The key addition was the coach and a player or two, Those players weren't super star batters. What they provided was an almost undefinable something that helped to welt a bunch of players wearing the same uniform into a top level team. I'm not convinced that the Giants are loaded with talent. I do know that they need that spark which separates the better teams from the also-rans.

Regards, stay safe 'n well.

Go, Big Blue!

The NY Giants are now 2 and 5, with the next game against the 5 and 2 Steelers an almost certain loss. That will put Big Blue at 2 and 6 at the halfway point. Four straight wins would be needed just to bring the team up to .500 ball, with four games left to play. In short, the Giant's season will end this year at the end of regular play.

So, with that out of the way, what has to happen for the Giants to have a chance for a play-off spot in 2025? We've just witnessed an astonishing turnaround in the New York Mets this year. Is there even a hint of something similar happening for the Giants in 2025?

Regards.

Go, Big Blue!

The NJ Giants need a QB -- any half-way decent starting QB -- to fill out their roster.

End of discussion, as far as I'm concerned.

Go, Big Blue!

NFC East title.

Go, Big Blue!

Hi, nb587.

A bunch of football players in green uniforms who do not have tissue dying in an extremity. ;-))

Regards, enjoy the borning season. 

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on September 01, 2024, 02:02:34 PMThe Giants could be 30 point underdogs in this game, and it would not bother me in the slightest. All that I care about is what happens between the opening kick and the game clock reaching zero.

Hi, DaveBrown74.

There are many ways of looking at a football game. One, of course, is the interest taken by the punters. They fuel quite an industry these days. Another is to map the game onto real life situations. A third is to see it as a simple win/lose contest. That's what makes sports such a fascinating thing for so many.

Regards, enjoy the up-coming season.

Go, Green Gang!

The bookies, those unyielding pessimists, have the Vikings at a money line of -120. That translates to a 55/45% W/L in the Vikings favor. At home, mind you! With a delightful new mid-field logo, even. I ask you. The nerve!

Game time's 1PM EDT. This poor old country mouse will have a cold dark ale handy, along with some decent snacks. Lady Luck can probably be found near the 50 yard line, surrounded by a sea of blue. Who knows? Mr. Daniel Jones may finally be removed from the "We're Still Evaluating" column to the "Starting Franchise QB" column. That may well depend upon whether the Giant offensive squad front 5 can form and maintain a pocket. We know Singletary will do his best. There may even be a real rabbit among the new acquisitions.

Sunday the 9th. In person or electronically, be there.

Go, Big Blue!
