Looking forward to the Giants game tomorrow. :) I'm a Chargers fan, but gotta root for my local team (at least when they aren't facing the Chargers...). Bradshaw is my favorite player in the league, I'm kinda hoping the presence of David Wilson steps up his game instead of leading to his eventual replacement as lead back. The Giants could use a rushing game this year (dead last previous season in rushing yards). They gave up a bruiser of a back by trading away Brandon Jacobs.

And I am glad the Chargers are playing Monday night, though it means I'm going to have to catch the game at work. Anyone know if there are any reliable live streaming options (preferably legit)? I may just get NFL replay... I work nights, if I can avoid hearing any news I bet I could just watch the game early in the morning (if they post it at like 2 AM).

I think we can actually win this first week. The Jags should be pretty damn awful, at least I hope so.

:eek: oh yee of little faith!!!

i'm a realist. the skins secondary is extremely shaky right now. i hope they put some points on the board though, because that is the only way they will win this game is by scoring like 30+ if I had to guess. and how many times have the skins scored over 30 points in 1 game in the past 3 years?

haha i really hope this is sarcasm :p

no one has seen RG3 play a regular season game, so there is no reason to assume he's going to be the next arod.

and i've been around long enough to know to never get too excited about a qb situation, although the RG3 situation is A LOT different than anything in recent past.

That anthem was embarrassing. Glad to know your hate your country, Queen Latifa.

noooo I was so happy with Miles Austin and his 0 point day. Damn the Giants and their horrible horrible corners.

Yep that's the number I think. At least this last one was in between two defenders. The first two were just open field choke jobs.

It might have gone between two defenders, but it hit him square in the face. Scandrick could have made a play but turned around too late - Cruz had no excuse to drop that.

I'm happy with the start to the season so far. However the Cowboys offensive line is showing that its a bad as everyone thought they'd be....between penalties everywhere, missed blocks, horrible snaps...yea. Luckily its working out despite that.

This. Glad to get a win if we do, but we aren't shining this game.
