I'm in a good mood. The Giants played a great game yesterday and won. I want them to win in Dallas, BADLY, and I will feel badly if they lose, but, I will think that they had a great season. They did. I was disappointed at the end of last year when they didn't fire Tom Coughlin. Coughlin coached well this year, got the right man for his defense, and they had a great season under him. Coughlin (and Manning) have brought them to the playoffs three years in a row and that's pretty dang good.
The Giants didn't have a monkey on their backs yesterday, they had an entire zoo. They won and the zoo is gone. Now Giants fans get to sweat out another week.
Some big plays. Burress, object of derision of Ronde Barber, beat Barber on a crucial third and long play.
In the Giants last touchdown, Eli pump faked Ronde out of his jockstrap and threw the ball to Toomer who was wide open in the end zone because Eli had faked Barber out so badly. Sweet, sweet stuff. Those Barber boys are good guys and very articulate and smart. They sometimes say a bit too much, however.
The Chargers looked really good. The Titans stopped LT and Rivers, like Manning, stepped up and won the game for his team.
Vince Young is a second year quarterback who is banged up and he was not very mobile yesterday. He's young and it's difficult to say what kind of player he'll be long term. He's not yet an effective pocket passer. That's not to say he won't be, but that hasn't been his game until now and for better or worse, effective QB's in the NFL tend to be people who can throw from the pocket.
Big Ben is a good QB in Pittsburgh, and his enthusiasm is great. He helped lose the game yesterday, however. Sometimes in trying to do too much, you end up being a detriment.
Thus endeth my thoughts at the moment.
