Unrelated and no one cares...but Eli Manning passed Phil Simms as the Giants passing leader. Regardless of overall legacy, he is the best QB in Giants history and Im grateful to have had him, despite some early headaches and heart stoppages LOL

Tittle led the Giants to divisional titles in 1961, 1962, and 1963. Even though they failed to win the overall NFL crown, those were the "glory years" in New York when Tittle was at the helm. Hall of famer

No doubt, and of course I can only know of Tittle in a historical way but the game was just so different then, not in a good or bad way and not to take away from Tittle. Also old timers who saw him play have called in to say Eli has been best. Not to stir debate just wanted to show my love!

Since you are asking a simple Y/N question, no need for all the debate, thank god!
Yes
2 Super Bowls, with 2 MVPs to match. The entire career and etc can be debated, but that alone puts him in rare company, and HoF company.
If he gets a third, all doubt is eliminated. If he doesn't, but his career maintains until the end like it has so far (60%, 3000+ yds, 25+ TDs) I guess it's possible he doesn't, seems unlikely to me but I'll be fair...he may not. There is Jim Plunkett after all. But yeah, has a few years left, plenty of time to pad stats or better yet get #3 to seal the deal
 Potentially intriguing game tonight, or total snoozefest Edited by JJLehto - October 31 2013 at 14:37 |

MMQB article on Geno Atkins. Fairly interesting to see how in-depth his film study is.
I think tonight is going to be an interesting game personally, especially given our injury report for today and who we might be missing defensively. But I think we'll still come away with the win.

Hoorah, I hope we do. I think we will too. Miami may be starved for a win, but they already have a terrible time bringing fans to the stadium. Toss in the fact that it's Halloween and a Thursday night, I don't think the crowd will be much of a factor. Go Bengals! |

I don't think anybody in the world knows why the Phins don't let Miller just pound the rock.

See? It turned out pretty good after all! I had no backing, just gut feeling...coming off that huge win, struggling Phins, figured it'd be a bit of a letdown game (esp with Miami's pretty stout D) though I admit...I expected Cincy to sloiwly pull it out bit by bit and finally seal the deal. Miami has really hung around!
Also huzzah OT. Giving my players a chance for some more stat padding. And with Green Ellis and Gresham, I need it!! Edited by JJLehto - October 31 2013 at 22:46 |

At this point, I honestly don't care about whether we won, lost, or tied. I'm going to be holding my breath tomorrow for Geno and Gio. It looked like Gio will be okay, but if Geno's out for any extended period of time, I worry about this defense. We already have enough guys injured, especially on that side of the ball. But if we're missing him we're in trouble.
I will have my fingers crossed for that MRI tomorrow.

I wondered about that one too. They almost gave up on the run entirely in the second half. But that seems to be the Phins MO this season.

I hear Geno is out for the season, which given he had an acl tear I can't imagine how on gods grey earth he could make it back this year.
Deff a huge blow, but at least you still got Johnson, Dunlap and Peko. Sucks though, was deff the best defensive player by far.
Also, after all the talk "wow if Andy keeps this play up and doesn't slip back they'll be unstoppable" right on cue: 4 turnover game
 Yes, after being slammed for giving up the run last week they did it again, and let the opponent back again. May just wanna not do that next time Miami

My only response to that one is: F**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k. The only thing that makes me feel a bit better is that we have some depth at D-line. But a guy like Geno is irreplaceable. I won't say it's necessarily over, but idk how we come back from no Geno, no Hall, no Whitworth, no Maualuga, no Mays (the last 2 got hurt right when they were starting to prove themselves), and Bernard questionable. I think the Bungles should be banned from ever playing in primetime games. Especially ones where they're hyped coming in. I also blame it on being a short week, tons of injuries (which continued to mount last night), and the lack of time to game-plan definitely showed. We could have gotten beat by 30, and that probably wouldn't make me feel any worse. It's like a hollow feeling in my stomach.

In retrospect, I'll probably look back on this moment and laugh. The only time I'll actually watch Thursday night games is if my team is playing because I complain too much about the quality of the game and terrible injuries. And then we get this.
Oh well. We get a few extra days off, the Browns at home, and then our bye. So maybe that'll be enough time to get some more guys healthy. This is the silver lining part, right?

They'll still win the division because they'll be the only ones with a winning record.

Thinking about it, that puts them in Patriots land: coast by with subpar teams in a terrible division.

Yeah Atkins is a special player to have. If you collapse the pocket up the middle you can really mess up a QB, and add to it two pretty darn good edge rushers, no wonder Cincy is so tough. Though honestly, Leon Hall is just as bad IMO, with today's NFL I feel losing a good CB can be the worst kind of loss. You'll be alright though.
Especially since Bernard should be fine. That TD run will be a top 5 play, he has real spark. Unlike BJ "3 yard" Ellis Only Shonn Greene had less "spark" I'm not sure that guy could even move in any way besides straight forward, then down to the ground Edited by JJLehto - November 01 2013 at 12:08 |
