Giants have no real running backs. I've had it with Wilson. Potential means jack shit if you can't do the little things right.

Dude is only 22, Wilson has time to get it together......this is the same coach that fixed Tiki's fumbilitis....

Brandon Jacobs back!

Memo to David Wilson - the last thing you want to do is attack us Giants fans. Stay off Twitter, shut the fuck up and MAN-UP, like Antrel Rolle said. Do your job right, and we won't trash you - hold on to the fucking ball, and protect your QB. We can't afford to lose Eli because you block like a sissy.

Brandon Jacobs back!

Great. Now I no longer feel guilty about hating this iteration of the team.

great....

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. –- The New York Giants on Thursday placed middle linebacker Dan Connor on season-ending injured reserve with a neck injury.

The Giants also were awarded linebacker Allen Bradford off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks.

Dan Connor, in his first season with the Giants, will miss the rest of the 2013 campaign with a neck injury.

Connor suffered a burner in two consecutive games. The first burner came in the preseason finale against New England. Connor then suffered another burner to the same area against Dallas and had to leave the season opener.

"Makes it very difficult," coach Tom Coughlin said when asked about Connor's two consecutive burners earlier in the day. "Guy's playing linebacker."

Speaking to reporters earlier in the afternoon before the roster move was made, Connor was hopeful that the burner would improve soon.

"A lot of it is a waiting game," the linebacker said. "You have to wait for the muscle to start firing again, and sometimes that takes a couple of days. Sometimes a little longer. It varies burner to burner. So try to rest and take some antiinflammatories and hope for the best."

Connor said he "kind of jarred" his neck trying to make a tackle against Dallas. He said his arm went numb.

"Each (burner injury) is a different situation," he said. "You are waiting on a nerve basically."

Now Connor's season is finished after just one game for the Giants. The team signed Connor to a one-year deal in free agency to compete with Mark Herzlich for the starting middle linebacker job. Herzlich is in line to be the starter now, joining outside linebackers Keith Rivers and Spencer Paysinger.

lol i was just saying the same thing in the chatbox. i cringe everytime i see herzlich on the field. whatever TE is happening to be playing at the time is gonna have a field day.

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

i was at the game and all i can say is at least the cowboys,redskins, and eagles lost. two rough losses in a row to good teams. really have no choice but to win the 2 weeks against the panthers and the chiefs before they play the eagles at home.

Same ol' shit - Giants have no balance on offense. It's Eli or bust, and he's playing like ass. Running backs are getting hit in the backfield - where the fuck is the run blocking? Pass rush is a joke. The experts say it's too early to panic - well I'm nervous because the Giants haven't corrected their old issues. Only good news is it was a losing day for the NFC East.

 

[jeffx]

0-3 - it's official....Giants suck. Offensive line is shit.

 

[EmpireWF]

They're unwatchable.

The OL is a mess, they have zero consistency in the run game and the passing game is entirely boom or bust.

The defense is left out there forever because the offense cannot sustain anything, and the pass rush is gone.

Gonna be a long, long season.

 

[jms493]

We are looking at a 7-9 team...nothing tells me otherwise.

I was over confident...

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Is Tom Coughlin going to survive the season? This team just looks awful, as does mine, but the Giants are a much more surprising case.

Hynoski done for the year

The Giants have signed former Jets and Bengals fullback John Conner after placing RB Henry Hynoski on IR

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants today filled their need for a healthy fullback when they signed fourth-year pro John Conner. Their incumbent fullback, Henry Hynoski, suffered a fractured shoulder last Sunday at Carolina and was placed on injured reserve to make room for Conner. Hynoski will miss the remainder of the season.

Conner, 5-11 and 245 pounds, previously played for the Jets and the Cincinnati Bengals. He has played in 37 regular-season games with 10 starts and in two postseason games. His career totals include 21 rushing attempts for 88 yards and two touchdowns and four receptions for 18 yards.

The University of Kentucky product entered the NFL as a fifth-round draft choice (139th overall pick) of the Jets in 2010. Conner played in every game for the Jets in his first two seasons, starting eight games in 2011.

As a rookie, he rushed for 44 yards on eight carries, including a 16-yard touchdown, all in the regular-season finale vs. Buffalo on Jan. 2, 2011. Conner also caught two passes for nine yards and had eight special teams tackles. He played in the Jets’ AFC Wild Card game vs. Indianapolis, but was inactive the following two weeks.

In 2011, Conner had a career-high 13 carries for 44 yards, including a one-yard touchdown run on Nov. 6 at Buffalo.

Last year, Conner played in three games with two starts for Jets before he was waived on Oct. 18. He was signed by the Bengals on Dec. 15 and played in the final two regular-season games and the AFC Wild Card Game at Houston, though he had no statistics.

The Bengals waived him on Aug. 31. Conner played in all four preseason games for Cincinnati and had one 13-yard reception.

Coughlin decides when he wants to leave.

I'd say of course. Coughlin has enough tenure there that they won't just throw him aside. This is not a coaching issue at all. (at least from Coughlin...)

Bingo. I imagine his time will be up soon howeva. Fire Gilbride and Fewell though pls
