New York Football Giants: 2012 SUPERBOWL CHAMPS - Page 7 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

If what Justin Tuck said about Adams tripping repeatedly is true, I hope he gets suspended for that crap. There's a reason tripping is a penalty. I hope the league reviews the tape and tries to confirm whether this was a one-shot deal or whether this is something the guy does repeatedly that the refs miss.

of course it's true but there's no way adams gets suspended. the nfl isn't as results-oriented as someone like the nhl.

That, on top of a third play (which neither Al nor Cris mentioned), where he was attempting to do it AGAIN cause he was beat, is enough for me to think that this is standard for him.

Agree with Triumph, though. Slim chance to none that he gets suspended.

I was in Texas last night, probably one of the best nights of my life.

Kenny Phillips out for the season. When does it end?

injuries are a huge part of football, i'm pretty sure PFP 2009 put the giants around the middle of the pack for man-games lost the last 3 years.

Phillips is a huge loss. Honestly might be the worst player to lose on that defense.

DEs would definitely not be worse, Webster could be argued.

Phillips is obviously a big loss but Tuck/Osi/Webster/AP would all be much bigger losses.

Thing is that we have depth in the front seven. Even if we lose somebody, we have a suitable replacement.

Meanwhile, we're really thin at safety. Losing Phillips for the season is a much larger loss than losing somebody on the front 4.

The defensive ends we are talking about are just on a different level of player than Phillips is on right now, plus the position is that much more important even with the depth concerns.

Phillips is a really talented and promising young player, but I don't think he is as good right now as some people are making him out to be.

Phillips loss is big, but is being way overblown.

Went to the game last week, incredible experience. Had a luxury suite, went into the tunnel when the Giants came out, explored the inner workings of the stadium (saw the players cars, watched halftime show practicing), had a former Cowboy (don't know who) in the suite next to us buying us shots while simultaneously hosting Cowboy cheerleaders and Tony Dorsett in his suite. Really good time. Here's a shot from the bar practically on the field.

Giants winning was icing on the cake.

Nice to see the running game back. Jacobs looked extremely sluggish while Bradshaw looked possessed though.

i am watching mike'd up - i don't know why, prob to see the highlights of the local games since they were all at the same time - but the fact that there is a giant bowl of potato chips dead center on the mike'd up set is confusing the hell out of me.
