Wonder if Gibbs' second stint with the Skins (two playoff appearances, but a losing overall record) had any impact on where he was ranked? In this list, probably not.
Kinda surprised Walsh didn't make the cut, although he was tied to Montana. Parcells is probably just outside the top 10 as well.
The last time the Giants won a Super Bowl, they started the next year something like 11-1 before stupid Plaxico shot himself and the offense went down the toilet.
As for this season:
Giants 11-5
Eagles 10-6
Redskins 7-9
Cowboys 6-10
I really hope we're not making a mistake tomorrow night. Is John Beck not still on this roster? Aside from the comment RG3 made about Staubach being the retired QB he feels most reminds himself of (have to admit, Bruce Allen probably got a little fired up!), then he completely overlooks Beck as...
When RG3 was talking to Steve Mariucci he talked about how he'd be willing to hold the clipboard for Peyton Manning, and I think he was being sincere.
With Grossman, this is just about saying the right thing.
It wouldn't completely surprise me if Sexy Rexy was the starter when the Skins visit...
I don't necessarily have a problem with the Giants winning it last year because they were not a flash in the pan team as borne out by their records in recent years. In fact, you can make the argument that they should've made the playoffs in '10 at 10-6 but got beat out by a team that won their...
Again, I was rooting against the Giants yesterday, but some of you guys need to tone down "The Giants don't deserve to be in the SB" stuff. Was it the Giants fault that the Packers decided not to show up last week at home? That the Saints forgot to play defense against the 49ers last week...
To be fair, I could see your critique if somehow some 49er guy had his back turned and the ball hit him in the leg and the Giants recovered.
But this was just a boneheaded decision by Williams and once he knew the ball even might have hit him he should've at least gone after it.
I was rooting for the Niners to win, but you honestly have no idea that the Giants wouldn't have scored in one of their other drives. If SF wanted to win the game it should've done something with one of their countless chances after that. I think the Niners got away from Gore too much in the...
Boone, I've gone to almost every Skins game at FedEx since the place opened, mainly from the nice confines of the club level, so luckily I haven't seen a lot of what the Saints fan experienced in SF on Saturday. Maybe see a fight once every couple years nearby but that's about it.
The traffic...
As long as the starting QB for this team from, say, the midway point of the 2012 season onward is not named Rex Grossman, that will probably serve as enough progress for the majority of us.
One positive aspect of these consecutive double-digit losing seasons is that hopefully it'll change the long-term outlook of the guy in Ashburn who is the most arrogant out there and the one that has the ultimate power......Daniel Snyder.
Prior to the 2010 season Snyder was cited in several...
Not to take anything away from the great '91 team, but some of the other good teams in the conference had issues that year. Parcells retired after the '90 season and his replacement (Ray Handley) made the head-scratching decision to start Jeff Hostetler over Phil Simms. I recall that Montana...
Maybe the Giants come out flat after their big comeback at Dallas, but I see Eli having a field day against our crappy secondary. Rex will play decent but it won't be nearly enough.
Giants 27
Redskins 17
I don't think the '91 Redskins are as "disrespected" as fans often make them out to be. I remember reading a similar thread on another board and did a search for "best NFL teams of all time" and the '91 team was consistently in the top 6 on the lists I saw just by browsing the first page...
I'm not sure what the finances would be since we just extended him but we have to take a look at Santana Moss. The guy is living off the Monday Night Miracle here and is no longer clutch, as he's dropped too much stuff in recent years and can't make catches that require any sort of degree of...
Four years. I think after that time Snyder will probably have to make the decision on whether to extend him anyway, like it was with Gibbs at the end of 2007.
Of course we don't know how Beck will play the rest of the season, but I expect Mike to draft a QB in 2012, probably get the guy some...
