***Official Game Day Thread - Steelers @ Giants***

[nycisgreat]

Is that Troy Aikman announcing or Phil Simms??? Phil... just put the black and yellow jersey on for goodness sakes!

I was saying the same thing. The guy is talking about the Tuck rule, but I am not sure if he realized that Ben was trying to throw the ball. Simms is off the ball today.

[blueomaha]

Maybe Goodell has told the refs to make sure that the Giants win this oneif they're giving it, i'm taking it....

[Eliscruzzz]

pus in the back

[Down-lifer]

Let's go D! Turn the ball over!

[BlueOldSchool]

Our defense is tired after having to play offense, too!

[GiantWarfare]

Steelers RBs running into a Big Blue wall....




















not...

[TheEnigma]

Hold on Herzlich much?

[Eliscruzzz]

My god did anyone see that hold...

[Sarcasman]

Why the defense really sucks today

[Captain Chaos]

No run D!

[Harooni]

phil is not going to be a homer he will tell it like it is, why do some of you want him to be a homer but yet hate others if they are?

[Sundown]

Terrible run defense!

[Jtuck]

They are not stopping this steelers running game!

[Ruttiger711]

Headlock on herzlich

[SanAntonioGiant]

Plus it kinda looks like he was tryin to pull it back!

[NYGFan10]

I sound like a broken record. The Giants DEFENSE needs to shut down the steelers running game

[RoanokeFan]

Good run stuff

[luni]

i still cant believe that play wasnt overturned but ill take it

[JPP=BEASTMODE]

Nice play by Osi

[blueomaha]

come on Brown, pick one....

[Eliscruzzz]

Cruz is a warrior

[brad]

Good news on Cruz!

[GiantWarfare]

phil is not going to be a homer he will tell it like it is, why do some of you want him to be a homer but yet hate others if they are?

exactly. Simms is a commentator, he can't be biased

[BigBlue1971]

Cruz will return

good deal

[JPP=BEASTMODE]

Haha the announcer won't stop crying about it

[Sarcasman]

Our defense is tired after having to play offense, too!


LOL!

Maybe they should just concentrate on trying to play defense.

[NYGFan10]

Hahaha, steelers can't snap the ball in time

[Eliscruzzz]

I gotta admit Osi and Tuck are playing pretty damn good today..

[nycisgreat]

our offense is throwing another stinker thus far.

[luni]

it was a total gift getting that call ... ill take it

[GiantWarfare]

Cruz will return

good deal

whew...thought it was much worse in real time

[Sarcasman]

we just scored 2 tds on bs blown calls that went our way and i hate it because it bails out the putrid play of the offense

and the defesne......

[SackingMyths]

We can't flame Aikman for being a Cowboy homer and then turn around and kill Simms for not being one.

[brad]

If the D is tired now.. it's their fault, they are supposed to let the offense score the point ;)

[PETEY006]

i didn't think it was a fumble either but i'll take it! ;)

[RoanokeFan]

Why is everything a 50 yard wobbly pass?!?

Including the runs?

[Eliscruzzz]

Phil really needs to shut up...

[Overdrive92]

phil is not going to be a homer he will tell it like it is, why do some of you want him to be a homer but yet hate others if they are?

Amen.

I'm a Giants fan, but even I'll admit we've gotten some lucky calls our way today.

[BlueOldSchool]

That is a huge call when you think of how we could have gone into the locker room at the half!

[giantsforce]

I gotta admit Osi and Tuck are playing pretty damn good today..But our run D sucks major time. A 3rd stringer is running at will. He has about 6+ yards per carry. Meanwhile we cannot make a 3rd and 1

[KillaRich]

We can't flame Aikman for being a Cowboy homer and then turn around and kill Simms for not being one.

True..... I sense hes doing it to not be a homer either... little extreme though... but you are right

[BROADWAYSTORM]

we just scored 2 tds on bs blown calls that went our way and i hate it because it bails out the putrid play of the offense true

[Eliscruzzz]

Come onD

[RoanokeFan]

Make the eat up the clock

[BigBlue1971]

nows the time to stop 'em here d

lets go team

[Ruttiger711]

Again - if that call was against us, no way we say that was a fumble and td

[Harooni]

one announcer said we are getting hurricane sandy calls for the city. wow

[BlueOldSchool]

Get the ball back and then one more score... that will salvage a lackluster offensive effort in the first half.

[Eliscruzzz]

BOLEY AND HERZ ARE GETTING PUSHED AROUND

[stormblue]

steelers 7
zebras 14
giants 0

[NYGFan10]

GOOD. LOOKS LIKE THE GIANTS DEFENSE IS STEPPING UP AGAINST the steelers running game

[SB86900711]

Including the runs?

Well obviously not "everything"

[GiantWarfare]

nice hit by Boley

[jgrangers11]

Great hit by Boley

[Down-lifer]

[El Jefe]

[NYGFan10]

EXCELLENT HIT BY BOLEY TO PREVENT THE 1ST DOWN

[Down-lifer]

They'll go for it

[BigBlue1971]

thats a good stop

[Eliscruzzz]

Shut up Phil

[GMenFan12401]

I actually feel bad for the Steelers... these calls are atrocious, as much as I love them

[BlueOldSchool]

one announcer said we are getting hurricane sandy calls for the city. wow

lame announcer

[ImElectric2]

GREAT DEFENSE by Boley and RolleThis.

[Eliscruzzz]

Make them regret this D

[blueomaha]

STOP THE RUN.....

[RoanokeFan]

No off sides here

[BlueOldSchool]

C'mon D!!!!!!

[bearbryant]

letsgo

[NYGFan10]

Watch out for a trick play or throw here by the steelers

[Eliscruzzz]

WHY IS tUCK OUT???

[Captain Chaos]

No run D!

[giantsforce]

Going on 4th down here means they do not think our d can stop them

[GiantWarfare]

sigh...

[RoanokeFan]

Man, we are in a dog fight

[brad]

wow, you have to stop them there

[BlueOldSchool]

No containment

[Down-lifer]

Oh well.....turn over time!!

[luni]

giants cant stop the run. man this team is weak

[blueomaha]

there running right all day....

[NYGFan10]

I said we need to shut down the steelers running game. This is what happens when we don't. 1st down steelers.

[RoanokeFan]

JPP hurt

[Sarcasman]

Stop them d!!


Every team should play 4 downs aganst this D

[BROADWAYSTORM]

oh no!

[BG61]

JPP limping?

[Sundown]

Damn it!

[BigHit420]

Now JPP is out, awesome.

[Eliscruzzz]

God can't make a stop when we need to and this going to happen everytime someone plays us everyone goes for it 4th down....

[BROADWAYSTORM]

JPP!!!!!

[SanAntonioGiant]

Oh NO JPP!!

[miked1958]

JPP hurt now

[DaFrenchy]

And JPP is injured. God ...

[BROADWAYSTORM]

J-P-P YEAH YOU KNOW MEEEEE

[giantsforce]

STOP THE RUN.....Good luck with that. We are giving up 6 yards per carry. If I were the Steelers I'd keep running it until the Giants make a stop.

[Sarcasman]

Watch out for a trick play or throw here by the steelers

Why bother? Handofss seem to be good for 5 yards a pop.......

[brad]

Hope JPP is OK... losing him would be about the worst thing that could happen to this team right now

[Jtuck]

Did You guys think they weren't going to make it? Seems like every team we play can turn 4th down into 1st down on our defense! SMFH!

[Harooni]

dang jpp took a shot to the ribs

[ALLnygIN]

what a ****ed up game so far!@

[Ballllinnnnnnn]

Jpp will be back.

[miked1958]

We just can't catch a break injury wise

[BROADWAYSTORM]

JPP! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[ALLnygIN]

wee cannot lose JPP

[Eliscruzzz]

The Giants need to hold up right here cause they get the ball after the half

[Sarcasman]

there running right all day....

It's the offense's fault

[Eliscruzzz]

Please let JPP be ok

[Tuckit91]

Wanna beat the Giants? Just keep running the ball...Cause they cant stop the run!

[ozzie0075]

Tom Rock ‏@TomRock_Newsday
Dr. Warren feeling around JPP's right knee. That's never good.

[giantsforce]

Every team should play 4 downs aganst this DNo kidding! We cannot stop anyone.

[Sarcasman]

Going on 4th down here means they do not think our d can stop them

Gee, why would they think that?

[BROADWAYSTORM]

JPP COME BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

[bearbryant]

WTF If it wasn't for TO's we could not beat LSU. Such a joke. Every team would go for that 4th down play. Damn thats frustratingf

[Captain Chaos]

The Giants are playing poorly, I hope they stop them but I'm not sure they can!!!

[blueomaha]

JPP is our superstar on "D"...man, i hope he's not hurt....

[NYGFan10]

the steelers tailback may have horrible running yards on average, but, today, he looks like he's on par for a record running yards, since we have difficulty stopping their running game

[JPP=BEASTMODE]

Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stormblue]

or the pass

[SanAntonioGiant]

I missed it, was it another cheap shot!!????

[Eliscruzzz]

Come on D get the offense the ball back oh no JPP

[BlueOldSchool]

On Fox NFL Sunday, Terry and Strahan were saying Eli is a candidate for league MVP this year. He needs to make better decisions and have a heck of a second half for that stuff!

[Harooni]

true i just hate when we barely win and gilbride thinks he is a genius so nothing changes the next week.

[ALLnygIN]

there goes our d line! get better jpp

[Captain Chaos]

JPP is likely out!

[Eliscruzzz]

without JPP this could get ugly

[Sarcasman]

Get the ball back and then one more score... that will salvage a lackluster offensive effort in the first half.

Tough to get the ball back when the other offense walks all over you

[giantsforce]

Gee, why would they think that?because they see that we suck. The only person who does not see this is Coughlin.

[RoanokeFan]

Great hit by Webster

[GMan-67]

nice Webby ... they put you out to pasture too ... great play

[Eliscruzzz]

FUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!oh no it's not lol

[Captain Chaos]

Webby nice play!

[BlueOldSchool]

Phil... stand up guy!

[SB86900711]

Caught ball + two feet down = fumble, no?

[Ruttiger711]

Ok - I see it

[NYGFan10]

Wanna beat the Giants? Just keep running the ball...Cause they cant stop the run!

Agreed. the steelers are probably going to crush us with their running today

[RoanokeFan]

D E F E N S E

[bearbryant]

WEBBY!!!!!!!

[blueomaha]

JPP on his first play back....

[giantsforce]

[Sundown]

[NYGFan10]

[GMan-67]

JPP looks healthy !!!!!!!!!!!! whoo hooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... wow

[brad]

[Ruttiger711]

[Tuckit91]

JPP

[Down-lifer]

Alright Eli and the offense lets score!

[Eliscruzzz]

[GiantWarfare]

[SanAntonioGiant]

[Balthazar]

[ArmyJintsGuy]

JPP just plowed through ....

[Eliscruzzz]

[SanAntonioGiant]

[Sundown]

That's a fumble!!!

[blueomaha]

JPP is still hurting.....

[ALLnygIN]

Come on ELI get the TD

[Eliscruzzz]

JPP you a beast boy!!!!

[RoanokeFan]

Great defense

[bearbryant]

Who did Simms play for Pittsburg?

[NYGFan10]

It seems Phil Simms has some kind of vendetta against the Giants..

[Eliscruzzz]

Smart play Randle

[ozzie0075]

That's a fumble!!!

Shin was down.

[RoanokeFan]

Good call by Randle

[bigblue58]

What the hell happened to this team? Their last complete game was against the 49ers they've been playing like crap ever since! And NOBODY is injured!!
Why are they going backwards?

[Captain Chaos]

1:10 with 80 yds to go, can we do it, don't think so!

[GiantX]

JPP! what a Beast!

[Ruttiger711]

Let get some points!

[RoanokeFan]

Cruz is in

[blueomaha]

WAKE UP ELI....

[Eliscruzzz]

Giants need to score points here

[GMan-67]

now what we do ... dont wanna tempt the rabbits foot we've had this half, but ...

[BigHit420]

Dont get to excited people , the look on JPP's face and the limp he took after that BEASTLY sack point that he is still in some pain.

[BigBlue1971]

one more sc ore before half Eli

[giantsforce]

funny how other teams 3rd stringers are NFL ready and ours are not.

[Harooni]

lol we almost got that one too

[GiantWarfare]

this offense man.....

[RoanokeFan]

Good decision Eli

[ImElectric2]

I thought the refs were cheating for us? Why no fumble?? (red font)

[Jtuck]

And of course JPP is the one on that D-line always making the key plays!

[Sundown]

Smart play Randle

Yea saw it on the next replay

[Eliscruzzz]

Man I hate to see Eli on the run

[Zaggs]

Eli was waiting for the back to go out, and he never did

[ALLnygIN]

get something going.. please

[brad]

What the hell happened to this team? Their last complete game was against the 49ers they've been playing like crap ever since! And NOBODY is injured!!
Why are they going backwards?

Huh? seem to be playing pretty well right now.. First Q was a bit rough but they look to be getting things moving now

[BlueOldSchool]

Why is it that Gilbride doesn't have a consistent quick hit play for 5 yards???

[bearbryant]

Come on Eli.... I believe in Eli!!!!!

[NYGFan10]

Come on get a TD before the 2nd quarter ends

[Sarcasman]

DPI

[Hassett00]

PI!!!!!!

[RoanokeFan]

Hixon draws interference

[Zaggs]

That is PI, no argument allowed

[Captain Chaos]

wow a flag on that one....

[Eliscruzzz]

that was PI definitely

[BlueOldSchool]

Thank you, Steelers!

[NYGFan10]

YES! ANOTHER PASS INTERFERENCE AGAINST THE steelers!

[Sundown]

They can't guard our receivers!!

[SanAntonioGiant]

So obvious!

[thegiantsrule10]

good.

[GMan-67]

wow they are overmatched vs. our WRs ... let's go for , go for , well not gonna type something nasty, but let's get it down !!!

[Down-lifer]

funny how other teams 3rd stringers are NFL ready and ours are not.What? Youre envy of 3rd stringers?

[Ruttiger711]

Well well well... We may just have too much time

[Eliscruzzz]

He almost caught it

[Zaggs]

Gawd, Hixon shoulda caught it

[Sarcasman]

Hixon drew that, it was underthrown

[SB86900711]

YES!!!

[ArmyJintsGuy]

Good call!!! But geez Eli....whats up with the floaters?!?

[BlueOldSchool]

These guys can be had!!!!

[bigblue58]

thank god for penalties or the Giants wouldnt be moving the ball at all

[BlueOldSchool]

Martellus...

[Eliscruzzz]

Bennett come man

[Eliscruzzz]

[BlueOldSchool]

Execution...

[brad]

[NYGFan10]

Come on Giants Offensive Line, enough with the false starts

[Harooni]

umm do our fans know to be quiet when on offense???

[Down-lifer]

Offense is sloppy, sloppy!

[SB86900711]

Two false starts in a row!!!

[bearbryant]

This is why teams lose!!!!!

[giantsforce]

near the 30 and of course we are going backwards!
