Around The Horn

     J.A. Adande made a great point the other day on Around The Horn by saying the Giants haven't been playing up to their potential. I believe this is an extremely accurate statement. The New York Giants have a great deal of injuries to deal with. J.A. believes that the Giants will be able to battle back this week against the Panthers. Woody Paige also sided with the Giants on this argument of whether the Giants will be able to perform against the Panthers. Woody touched on Eli and his great impact on the game when he plays well. He also mentioned how the Panthers are just trying to prove themselves.
     Eli Manning is the best fourth quarter player in the NFL. Eli had the most fourth quarter come-backs last year. The Giants were trailing all game to Tampa Bay and Eli threw 3 interceptions in the process. These interceptions were overshadowed by Eli's 510 passing yards and his dramatic fourth quarter comeback. He certainly redeemed himself for his performance last week against the Cowboys.
     Inorder for the Giants to win this week against the Panthers, the Giants will have to have a good performance from the Giants defense. The Giants defense has a lot to prove this week. They have been allowing way too many yards threw the air and on the ground. I think they will come out fired up this week. Eli can't do it all.

Around The Horn, Giants vs. Cowboys

    Yesterday (September 6), on Around The Horn, J.A. Adande gave the Cowboys credit for their win over the New York Giants. Adande went on to say how big the win was for the Cowboys and Tony Romo especially. I personally disagree with this opinion. Tony Romo has never won a Superbowl. I personally don't think he has what it takes. Adande believes that this is going to be the start of the Cowboys run to the playoffs. That is simply not the case. I see the Cowboys being a seven win team at best.
   The conversation then moved from what does this mean for the Cowboys, to what does this mean for the Giants. Michael Smith said that the Giants should panic. He also questioned their standards and expectations for the season. I personally don't think you rule a team out just by looking at one game. Yes it was a tough loss, but the Giants have a great core of tough guys that I believe have what it takes to battle back next week against Tampa Bay.
