Am I the only one watching the game now?

I'm watching. Picked up Green-Ellis in FF and my wife insisted I take Henne on draft day. I'm only 70 points down so I CAN DO-EEEIT.

The Patriots are not what they once were and the fins are going to be surprising.

Had the Colts stuffed MJD, the timeout would've been OK. However, he ran for 8 yards and the Colts were stupid for calling it under those circumstances.

I understand man. It is just that why the heck even call it in that situation and then he is defending it.

The first comment though made me LOL.

Green-Ellis looks like a pretty good between the tackles runner. Lot's of heart and not scared of contact at all. Curious to see what sort of open field speed he has if he breaks away.

LOL, Manning would've audibled and not used a timeout.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda, it was a dumbass call. I remember screaming at my TV on the time-out. WTF are you doing!

It's a game of ball position, clock, etc. The clock was your friend Colts and you shot your friend in the face. Way too risky there, colt's D wasn't giving ANY confidence. Stupid, stupid, stupid. And now we're 0-2 in the conference. Colts had better learn from this.

Oh trust me, Caldwell is catching flack here big time. The Colts should be very angry for the Chiefs. Let's just hope that is when they turn the corner for good. Let's not forget, they were 3-4 a couple of years ago and finished 12-4.

Dan Henning is still around. One of the best OCs in the league over the past 30 years. Unfortunately for him, he was a terrible head coach.

i really didn't see this great Giants defense last night. I saw some great pass rushing, and a fucking dumbass QB. A few horrible plays by the OL, but a mostly indecisive QB. (In fact, Eli looked almost as bad as Cutler. It was one of those games that you don't really feel great about winning, except for the fact that you get the win. The Giants looked pretty damn terrible, I must say.)

...and an offense that seemed, for whatever reason, to completely ignore the fact that they pay this guy named Forte to carry the ball from time to time.

I mean...seriously, ...in a game like that, WTF was there absolutely no attempt to hand off to your HB?


Cutler held onto the ball way too long, but that is the system they adopted with their new O coordinator. You're not going to find much open with zHester and Knox as your only receivers. I also agree that they need to establish a better running game

E Manning has completely lost confidence with his offense with countless tipped passes and fumbles. Absolutely horrible discipline this year by the giants, both in penalties and ball control.

Kind of sad how Laurence Maroney, a first round pick, was pretty much cut and replaced by Danny Woodhead and Green-Ellis is starting, two undrafted players. Shows you how hard work can pay-off.

If the Giants had lost last night, Coughlin may have been gone at the end of the year.

What is up with them anyways? They have been bad for no reason, they have a good team.

if the giants don't do better than showing up to play 1 out of every 4 games, he's gone anyways.

You guys have another guy on the team that was pretty much written off by everyone else and left for practice field fodder....Welker is pretty good :)
