He continues to be as cluless as it comes. He also wrote an article earlier this week about the Giants & Jets meeting in the Super Bowl this year. A little premature...don't you think?<BR/><BR/>Today is the 30th anniversary of the "Incredible Play Call & Fumble"<BR/>Hank Gola listed all the key people involved.<BR/><BR/>WHATEVER HAPPENED TO...<BR/>Key characters in the Giants' most infamous play.<BR/> <BR/>JOE PISARCIK: Started first four games of 1979 season before giving way to Phil Simms. Played five more years with Eagles. Is a securities broker in Jersey City.<BR/> <BR/>HERM EDWARDS: Returned to Giants Stadium as coach of Jets and is in third year as Chiefs coach. <BR/><BR/>JOHN McVAY: Giants coach finished season, but his contract was not renewed. Joined 49ers front office and helped assemble Niners dynasty. <BR/><BR/>DICK VERMEIL: Eagles head coach took team to playoffs for first time in 18 seasons. Two years later, made it to Super Bowl. Won Super Bowl XXXIV with Rams. <BR/><BR/>LARRY CSONKA: Fullback who never got handoff returned to Dolphins in 1979. Entered Hall of Fame in 1987. Lives in Alaska and hosts outdoor TV series. <BR/><BR/>DOUG KOTAR: Running back who missed block on blitzing Edwards played for two more seasons before developing brain tumor in 1982. Died in December 1983, at age 32. <BR/><BR/>MARION CAMPBELL: Philly defensive coordinator who called all-out blitz succeeded Vermeil as Eagles head coach. Lasted three years in Philly and finished his career as Falcons head coach from 1987-89. <BR/><BR/>JIM CLACK: Center who may have snapped ball early because time was running out retired as a Giant after 1981. Died of heart failure after battle with cancer in 2006.<BR/> <BR/>BOB GIBSON: Offensive coordinator who called play was fired next day and never worked in football again.

This ...A quote from Gary Mayers in the Daily News. This must be one of the stupidest things every said about the Giants. The 86 teams turned into one of the best teams in NFL HISTORY. Maybe this years team will have a Vikings 4 and 17 that will catapult them to greatness but to say that about them now is just not knowing what you are talking about. I bet their a at least 5 guys who post on this blog who could do a much better job.<BR/><BR/><I>The Jets forced Kurt Warner into six turnovers. He should be good for three or four vs. Giants. If Big Blue is going to rush for 200 yards per game, nobody will beat them. Not even '86 Giants</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-10425982163878075572008-11-18T18:20:00.000-05:002008-11-18T18:20:00.000-05:00MikeIf we where destroying teams like the 86 team ...Mike<BR/>If we where destroying teams like the 86 team did by the end of the season I would agree with you but we are not. It was 20 to 10 with the Ravens driving again when we got lucky with a very slightly poorly thrown ball that ended up with a pic 6 for us. It could have easly been 20 to 17 in not for that LUCKY play. It should never have gotten to that. If Ahmad gets Jacobs or Wards carries then we are putting ourselves in a better position to win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-57652334279335369742008-11-18T17:39:00.000-05:002008-11-18T17:39:00.000-05:00Hixon should be returning kickoffs...there is no r...Hixon should be returning kickoffs...there is no reason for this not to happen. He returned kicks the end of last season and in the playoffs--and did extremely well. He's done good with punts this year...he's almost broken a few and had one called back in the Eagles game.<BR/><BR/>As for the 3-headed monster at RB, I continue to say that I'm fine with how all three are used. All three bring different attributes to the table and all three force teams to defend us differently. <BR/><BR/>That we have arguably one of the best rush offenses in HISTORY, yet people still find a way to complain about it...is amusing to meYanksFan13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09551933284426676334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-88523334489186538652008-11-18T15:37:00.000-05:002008-11-18T15:37:00.000-05:00I had the exact same feeling at 20-10. Why is this...I had the exact same feeling at 20-10. Why is this team that dominated the first half letting the Ravens back in the game?<BR/><BR/>I like the poker analogy. It's like the Giants want to slow play pocket aces. Don't keep your opponents in the game so you can get burned on the river by an inside straight. Go for the kill and get these teams to fold early.James Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964207789326645793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-76553381349931145742008-11-18T14:23:00.000-05:002008-11-18T14:23:00.000-05:00We all agree on Bradshaw, but I'm wondering if...We all agree on Bradshaw, but I'm wondering if this is a possiblity. Given the fact that both Jacobs & Ward are free agents at the end of the year, and it is obvious that Ward will be the most likely to be let go...then wouldn't it make sense to allow Ward to build up his numbers and then allow the Giants to get a higher compensatory pick because of that? Or am I thinking to far out of the box? Reese is pretty shrewd. Already the Shockey trade looks better & better each week as the Saints are just mediocre allowing us higher draft picks in Rounds 2 & 6.Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02151576898703507305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-53648232569727439042008-11-18T13:44:00.000-05:002008-11-18T13:44:00.000-05:00Brandon Jacobs and B-Shaw would be a perfect combo...Brandon Jacobs and B-Shaw would be a perfect combo...im looking at the some early season Derrick Ward runs...the guys lacks AGILITY and B-Shaw should be getting those carries....let Ward come in on those obvious runsNaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572689543654665669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-10328939545668015312008-11-18T13:16:00.000-05:002008-11-18T13:16:00.000-05:00Dang it, I agree with everyone.
