Regrettably, no. ALthough, I will be tailgating at the stadium (see signature) up until about 7, then making our way to a friend's house (right off of Cottman Avenue exit of 95) who happens to be a fan of the GMen. His Shockey jersey looks like 2 blue bedsheets sown together. We call him 'Forman Mills' when he wears it, and multiple nicknames when he doesnt.

Looking forward to it is an understatement. If the GMen win, they run away with the division. If they don't, its up for grabs. Must win for the Birds, and I hope they rise to the occasion and shut down NYG's 3 pronged running attack. For some reason, division opponents run all over us. The rest of the league gets stuffed like stockings.

Should be a great game to watch. All eyes on this one.

I guess common sense isn't a course at Vandibilt. What the F was Cutler thinking, running the ball up the middle with 10 seconds left and no time outs? :zz:

You know I think we have had this discussion before, but the way I look at it is the only guy the Giants have to be afraid of is Westbrook. I still think he is the most under rated guy in the leauge. McNabb used to be more dangerous when he would run if he had to. He can't win it by himself anymore. Also, they still really don't have that stud reciever that warrents double coverage.
That being said, it will probably come down to turnovers. Who ever coughs it up less will probably win.

Yeah, that was pretty bad. Sometimes I wonder how some of these guys graduated college. :rolleyes:...Let alone memorize an NFL playbook. (ALOT worse guys than Cutler though.)

Bingo. Could you imagine if they did? (2004) The field would open up like Pam Anderson's legs for 36 and they could rotate either Curtis or DJack in the slot. One of these years the brass will realize this and stop thinking they can win it all with 2nd and 3rd string recievers. Of course, when they finally do, Kolb will be at the helm and 36 will be retired due to being overused.

There isnt a facet of Westbrook's game that isnt top notch. He can block better than some, if not most tight ends. Underrated for sure.

I bet my buddy Nic Nic (aka Forman Mills come sunday) that Flexico, as he calls him, will have less than 8 catches. I guess I should bring some extra coin with me. :(

The year that they had a stud reciever, they went to the Super Bowl.

Westbrook is to the birds what Tiki was to the Giants all those seasons. The whole offense was based around him and everyone in the leauge knew it. And they still couldn't stop him.

Plax has always played big against the birds, plus he is due for a big game. He has been invisible the last couple of weeks. This is why they gave Samuel all that cash, let's see if he earns it this week. He will be man to man against him alot due to all the blitzes that the birds will throw at Eli. I would take over 8.

Yea, I knew I was in for it as soon as I shook his hand. But we were bickering back and forth so vehemently that I couldnt back down. (I hate, repeat HATE, when I try to bring up a logical point, all he does is spout out the GMen's record. I can hear it in my sleep. 7&1 neegah, 7&1 kiss da d!ck) I counter with "Name me 15 Giants, full names, without the aid of a computer", which usually muzzles him.

This will be Samuel's biggest test yet. 24 and 26 havent been able to do it for years now, let's see what Duece Duece got.

Chills will be running down my spine nearing kickoff. Hell, the moment I get out of the car down at the Linc and see the multitude of green. GL to ya the rest of the way, save Sunday and week 14 of course. ;) ...We need the wildcard at least.

Enjoy your tailgate, don't waste too much beer (thowing it) on Giants fans. And enjoy the game it should be entertaining, no matter who wins.

You too! (the enjoyment part)

And I buck the trend of Eagles fans, as I'm quite reserved in the social setting. I just watch the fracas from a not so distant distance. Now, if they win a ring, I'm not sure that I could keep my cool.

This CLE/DEN game has lost my attention. Beddy bye time.

Just be happy that you have the Phillies!

I am turning in too, this game has push written all over it.

And to Mortimer, I am sorry about hi-jacking your thread!

MaTH716 11-06-2008 09:36 PM

Well after that, maybe I will stay up for the rest. Nice to see the consistancy of both teams defense, or lack there of.

The guy that he replaced went what, 10-6 last year? Plus he made the pro-bowl.
A year on the bench might be beneficial for him anyway.

MaTH716 11-06-2008 09:40 PM

OMG a defensive play has been made!

No, i did not bet on this game. Thankfully.

He has me to thank for reviving his career!! Lit that fire under his a$$ after he logged in to DT at halftime.

MaTH716 11-06-2008 10:22 PM

Oh Romeo, Oh Romeo, Where was thou defense Oh Romeo?

Morty is not going to be happy!

For the record Denver D sucks ass too!

ateamstupid 11-06-2008 10:24 PM

I'm a soldier!!! I'm a soldier who fumbles and drops passes on 4th and 1, but I'm a soldier!!!

The Bid 11-07-2008 07:25 AM

Romeo failed again does this guy have a brain?
