Don't forget 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly', a particularly amusing 'Matchsport', and that other thing.

New York Football Giants Ping List

Ping Ultra Sonic 007 to get on or off this ping list.

Come hither G-Men; according to Skip, we've made the Skins into a soft drink. :^)

My beloved Redskins threw the game.......See ya in a couple of weeks at Fedex. for an A@@whippin.....

FReepmail scott says to get on or off this ping list...

This is a fairly high volume ping list...

[vin-one]

My beloved Redskins felt sorry for the Giants and threw the game......

See ya in a couple of weeks at Fedex for an A@@whippin.........

[vin-one]

first one didn't look like it posted, so you get it twice....bring it on Ny'ers.......

[Ultra Sonic 007]

I don't think so pal. ;-)

[Ultra Sonic 007]

If they 'threw' the game because they felt 'sorry', then that doesn't bode well for your team. They are pros. They are paid to play. They are paid to win. They can't afford to 'throw' games.

Long story short: they were utterly outclassed on Sunday. On offense AND defense.

[Mr. Mojo]

The Skins next play Philly, Tampa, Oakland, and then San Diego.

Prepare yourself for a 5-game losing streak. .....minimum.

The most overrated team in the NFL won't be fooling anyone much longer.

[MattinNJ]

Manning v Manning in Super Bowl 40-you heard it here first.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

If that were the case, I'd be split. I mean, I like the Giants, no doubt...but I'd be sentimental for Peyton, as he's been in the League longer and deserves a shot. Eli has plenty of time to play.

[A message]

Not sure about Philly in that proposed losing streak.

Take away the blocked FG returned for a TD against SD and the Eagles are 3 and 4.

Eagle's one dimensional offense will cause that team more woes than wins in the coming weeks.

[Pharmboy]

I was there...but the skins did not show up. Their heads and bodies were not in the game. Their receivers/backs dropped 10 passes thrown into their hands in the first half. They missed tackle after tackle. My feeling is that they (unconciously) decided that they were not going to come into Giants Stadium and beat the g-men the week of The Duke's death.

My son-in-law is a Virginia boy and lifelong skins' fan. I called him after the game and told him that his real team did not play that game. Just my 2 cents.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

At least the Redskins had an excuse for laying down in a game. Down here, we're trying to figure out what the hell happened to the Saints against Miami. Even the announcers were questioning their will, especially in Tiger Stadium with a hard-core crowd of 60,000.

[b4its2late]

My beloved Redskins threw the game.......See ya in a couple of weeks at Fedex. for an A@@whippin.....

The probability that the Redskins threw the game is about as great as the probability that a person throws his back out on purpose.....

[b4its2late]

No offense intended, but I don't buy it. I don't think Gibbs would buy it either.

My reasoning.....There are so few games in the NFL season, no one can afford to play like they know they don't have a snowballs chance in hell. Every game is important, especially when you play only once a week.

Baseball, basketball, hockey.... now they could since they have so many games. But in football, one loss hurts. The Giants wanted it that much more than the Skins did. They got outplayed on both sides of the ball and I believe the Giants will be a much better team for it.

[Pharmboy]

No offense taken. As I said--I was there, and the skins showed a total lack of concentration on both sides of the ball. The only one who played well was Brunell, and they kept dropping the ball. Our secondary is weak, but they made us look like the '77 Steelers.

My theory is impossible to prove, but for me it's the best explanation that fits the facts. The skins are a much much better team than that.

[b4its2late]

The skins are a much much better team than that.

Yeah, agreed. The division is up for grabs.

[b4its2late]

And two other things we can probably agree on..... The Cowboys and the Eagles suck. ;-)

[Pharmboy]

I'm sitting out our next home game against the Vikes, but I will be there for the Iggles. My son-in-law is trying to get tix for the jints-skins game on Xmas Eve Day in DC since we come down to VA every Christmas. Hopefully both teams will still be contending which will make the game quite "intense."
