1. Saints (12-0)
I think we can all agree that their game against the Redskins was ridiculous. The same team that squashed the Patriots a week earlier needed a couple miracles and an overtime to beat the Redskins. Still easily the top team in the division. (Last Week: 1)
2. Vikings (10-2)
A loss to the Cardinals in Arizona is not that surprising. The fact that it was nearly ...
New York Giants Beat Cowboys, Revive Season: Game Notes and Game Balls
Posted: 7th December 2009 by Richard Resch in NFL
I was lucky enough to be in attendance at Giants Stadium for their big win over the Cowboys, and I couldn't have asked for a better game (well, maybe it would have been nice if the guy sitting in front of me didn't throw up all over the guy sitting in front of him...).
Not only did I get to see the Giants save their season with a win over the ...
New York Giants: Keys to Beating the Dallas Cowboys
Posted: 4th December 2009 by Richard Resch in NFL
1. Stop The Run You may remember their Week Two matchup in which the Cowboys ran for 251 yards on only 29 carries, good for an embarrassing (for the Giants) 8.7 yards per carry.á Marion Barber, Felix Jones, and Tony Romo each had rushing touchdowns. Simply put, if the Cowboys come even close to those numbers, the Giants will be blown out.á They were lucky to ...
1. Cover Brandon Marshall Brandon Marshall is an absolute beast.á The Giants secondary did a nice job of covering a banged up Roddy White, but Marshall is a different animal.á At 6'4", 230 pounds, Marshall is one of the toughest men to cover.á After the catch, he is even better.á Although he has had his ups and downs this season, when he's on his game, he's as ...
New York Giants Defeat Atlanta Falcons in Overtime: Game Balls and Notes
Posted: 23rd November 2009 by Richard Resch in NFL
There was a definite feeling of "here we go again" when Eli Manning had his duck of a pass intercepted on the first drive. But after that, Eli probably had his best game of the year, in the most important game to date.
He threw some of his best deep balls of the year, including some beauties to Steve Smith and Mario Manningham, and he continued to get Kevin Boss involved ...
NFC Playoff Picture: Nine Teams, Four Spots Remain
Posted: 17th November 2009 by Richard Resch in NFL
With the NFC South and NFC North all but locked up, there are four remaining playoff births up for grabs in the NFC. While divisional leaders Dallas and Arizona have the upper hand, their hard work is not nearly over. The Eagles, Packers, Falcons and Giants are all 5-4, and are right in the playoff hunt.
At 4-5, the 49ers, Panthers and Bears are on life support, but their dreams ...
1. Saints (9-0)
It's a bit worrisome that they had to battle it out for 60 minutes to beat the lowly Rams, but they got the win. They've done enough to prove they are elite, and in two weeks, they'll get another chance to prove it against the Patriots. (Last Week: 1)
2. Vikings (8-1)
Brett Favre to Sidney Rice is turning into one of the best combinations in the ...
With recent talk that the Mets may not be spending on a top tier free agent, many Mets fans have begun speculating which second tier free agents or trade targets may be a fit.
With this in mind, I have come up with a four-part off-season plan that would make fantasy baseball players, as well as Jerome-From-Manhattan-type WFAN callers proud.
I don't know what Minaya's budget is going to be ...
Six Reasons To Be Optimistic About The New York Giants
Posted: 12th November 2009 by Richard Resch in NFL
After four straight lossesùeach more painful than the lastùGiants fans have a right to be pessimistic. After two blowouts and two games that they let slip through their hands, the Giants let their lead in the NFC East slip away as well. They now sit at 5-4 and are on the outside of the playoff picture.
But despite all of this, there were still some positives to take away from their ...
