I am still hung over from that so-called game the New York Football Giants played against Tennessee. I can’t even speak about how much bullshit happened.
What I can say is that Jeremy Shockey had a bone sticking out of his finger, taped it up, and played. He made some great catches from Eli when he was making passes. He had fire and was pumped up. He showed me a lot as a Giants fan.
The last thing I will say on the Giants is that I won’t quit on them like a certain Defensive end and Wide Receiver quit on them during the game.

The similarities are striking.
A year ago today, the Giants suffered a devastating loss on the road when Jay Feely missed three potential game-winning field goals in Seattle and the Seahawks won in overtime. The score was 24-21. The referee in the game was Larry Nemmers. The Giants had lost two of their last three games and flew home with a 7-4 record, which left them tied for first place in the NFC East with Dallas. Their next game was at home against the Cowboys, who had 10 days to prepare after playing on Thanksgiving.

Fast forward to the current situation. Yesterday, the Giants endured another agonizing defeat on the road when they blew a 21-0 fourth-quarter lead and lost to the Tennessee Titans. The score was 24-21. The referee in the game was Larry Nemmers. The Giants have lost three games in a row and are 6-5, one game behind Dallas in the division standings. Their next game is at home against the Cowboys, who have 10 days to prepare after playing on Thanksgiving. The winner will be in first place in the NFC East (the Giants will have the tiebreaker advantage because they won in Dallas on Oct. 23).
Last season, the Giants rebounded from the setback in Seattle to defeat the Cowboys, 17-10, and take a division lead they would never relinquish. Now they must again lift themselves off the mat and make a similar stand, or the promise of their 6-2 start will disintegrate into a playoff-less season.
I guess we will see what team shows up against the Cowboys this Sunday... and as always, I will be there at GIANTS STADIUM tailgating.
