    Maybe the only thing that can save the vagiants is Petite throwing a no hitter and Mariano closing it out in the 9th.

    The Giants media is going to focus on the Giants, the Jets media is going to focus on the Jets. I don't see the national media focusing less on the Giants unless Rex goes to midfield and punches Mike in the face. The media focuses on disasters, that's what the Giants are right now, even the Jets aren't that with loss. THe focus will be on the Giants unless a non football thing occurs in the Jets game. That's how bad the Giants are this game

    The only story tomorrow should be the Giants implosion. If I see my Jets on the back page then it must mean something bad happened.

    Yes! that's my point. I think we're on the same page. THe Giants are so bad today, and Eli has been really bad so far, that unless the Jets have non football story, the Giants are going to get crushed tomorrow regardless of the JEts football play. THat's what I don't see how this game gets bigger because of NYG.

    As far as the Giants are concerned, they will never be raked over the coals like the Jets would if they had this type of start

    In fact, if the Jets lose and Smith is shaky, I predict that that will be more the focus of attention than the Giants awful start

    Another utterly moronic play for RG3. He makes a great run, dives down instead of sliding down, and loses the ball all by himself when he hits the ground. That's two mindless turnovers in a tie game.

    Eli did that 2-3 years ago. QBs needs to learn to slide.

    The Jets game should not be a story no matter what. Success gets overlooked, losers get shitted on.

    These scumbags talked all summer about representing NY in the Super Bowl and at the same time the people asking the questions acted like the Giants were the only team that had a chance.

    Andy Reid must be giddy watching this Giants game as he prepares his team next week at home to end his old rival.

    Its just mind boggling that these guys won 2 Super Bowl. If they miss the playoffs this year, that will be 4 out of 5 years they miss. Its just so hard to believe what they accomplished, yet at the same time are able to be just so mediocre.

    The game completely changed when Wilson's touchdown got called back. I think there were back to back sacks then a missed FG after that.

    O/U 3 weeks for Coughlin's job to be called for. I think its like 3% of teams to start out 0-3 make the playoffs. This could be 4 out of 5 years that the Gmen miss the postseason.

    The Texans are frauds, should be staring at 0-3 or at least 1-2. Titans and Colts have a decent shot at taking the division if they can win some games.

    Mind boggling is the perfect way to describe it. The whole idea is if you are a consistently successful in the NFL and make the playoffs, you are going to end up with a SB with all those chances. The Giants flipped the script

    A pass like that for Griffin can make up for stupid mistakes. But did the ball hit the ground when the receiver fell to the ground?

    I already heard Giants fans calling for the firing of coughlin last week, it will pick up but Mara wont drop him after this season, no chance. He prolly will be allowed to ride out until he retires, which is right because has the rings like it or not.

    Coaches are hired to be fired ... Coughlin will be ridden out of town as even Shula was in Miami (a man who had 2 losing seasons out of 33)
