Ed Vette

I'm getting 2003 flashbacks.
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

This is one of the worst bites from the injury bug I have seen in awhile.

It's for their own protection in a lost season. The rest are just preseason games.

That is my hope, and that none of these or at least very few linger into next year.

Anyone who is remotely borderline is getting shelved.

This is one of the legitimate ways a team can tank. Trading off talent before the deadline for picks is another. Unfortunately our owner is not a big fan of that because at a record like 2-6 you technically still have "a shot."

Hopefully in the process we can find a gem or two at least from these adds. I am intrigued by Cory Durden I liked him as a draft prospect, if he gets time I am curious how he will perform.

Will be interesting to compare depth charts from week 1 to the last week of the season.

I too am wondering how many of these are just, "screw it, just get some rest and dont let it get any worse."  If they were in play-off contention, thinking some of them would be playing.

No doubt

Team has become laughing stock of the league ...if they are not careful they will be fined for putting a division 3 football team on the field to play an NFL team.

I have seen teams tank before but really the number " injuries " on this team is getting ridiculous. Some are probably legit because this is the norm for G men.

Either their training staff and Barnes are totally incompetent or lowering standards of "able to play status".
Daboll almost looks relieved to read the injury report everyday... Probably has a pass from Mara to get the money players out of game and have an excuse not to compete for the rest of the year.

There's no reason for anybody with a scratch on their finger to play in these games.  It's a little nuts they keep running Nabers out there given the circumstances.  They need to lose these last few games.  The minute somebody reports any sort of injury...immediately to IR.  Sorry dude.  Collect your check, put your feet up, and prepare for next year when the team is going to be considerably better.

Mr G: I liked him coming out of college, too, and it's one area where the Giants desperately need help on defense (they so far have failed to build around Dexter, and it partially cost them this season since they generally-speaking have been unable to stop the run.  You never know... we are IMO way overdue to get lucky with a retread.

We still need to dress 46 players. Why not let the rookies get more experience? Nabors is losing out on a chance at making all-rookie with McConkey and Thomas Jr ahead of him in yards thanks to poor QB play. He needs to play.
