New York Football Giants!

(even though they play in New Jersey ... )

Since other teams had their own threads...

So Blue Faithful, what do you think of the breakout game of Steve Smith and Mario Manningham? I must admit to some tempered excitement because it's nice to see receivers to whom Eli looks very comfortable throwing.

It softens the blow of losing Plaxico Burress to utter stupidity and Amani Toomer's reliable hands.

Also does Eli look any cooler and more collected than in the last few minutes of a game with a chance to win on the line?

Are the Giants 3-0 after Tampa? I say YES!

Not a big football guy anymore but Giants were always my team back in the day so I stick with them and anyone playing the Pats.

SB XLII must have been a fun night for you then huh? It definitely was a raucous one at my house. The Perfect Ending.

Glad someone started this thread. Go Big Blue!

Looks like Manning complete to Manningham is going to be said often.

I'm with you on 3-0 after the Tampa game.

Manningham's speed is a beautiful thing. He definitely broke a few ankles with those impressive jukes. I'll be following his development.

I still don't totally trust their RBs or DBs - Manning can't live by bread-and-butter dumpoffs alone.

cool..and no cowboy talk! unless its bashing them

Same goes for eagles talk

Not a NYG fan or hater, but it was nice to see them beat the cowgirls!

I like the Jets but the LIONS will always be my team!

Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big "H". It was a most ripping victory!

Very good shot at a 5-0 start to the season.

What do you think? Where does the first loss come down? I think at New Orleans might be tough given how the Aint's have played thus far. *

15 minutes to kickoff ... GO BLUE!

Giants just dominated today. Bucs looked bad from start to finish.

Bucs stink...but Giants are looking good foe week #3.

Tom Coughlin is one of the best coaches in the league at using adversity as a motivating factor. The team got the news Thursday that starting safety Kenny Phillips would be placed on injured reserve. It's an obvious setback, but the defense didn't miss a beat Sunday.

The Giants will travel to Kansas City to face a winless Chiefs team next Sunday. It might sound like the perfect time for a letdown (see: Cleveland in 2008), but I don't think it will happen. I think the Giants are the best team in the league right now, although you could certainly make an argument for the Baltimore Ravens. Last week, the Giants' front seven was embarrassed by what the Cowboys accomplished in the running game.
