I know one thing - Jerry Reese better get us a Plaxico-type big-target money wide receiver during the off-season - someone who'll make the big catches no matter what. Giants fans who say no aren't paying attention. Fuck Mario Manningham and his drops.

And I've had it with C.C. "Can't-Cover" Brown. He's a joke.

I knew you were somewhere having a stroke

I holla'd when the announcer mentioned his nickname.

SCNDLS said:

Stroke? On the contary, I loved seeing my boy Benson ram it down the Bears throats. I find it IRONIC that Benson is going 2 lead 2 the reason Dovie Smith is fired. I LOVE it.

10 games and this clowns head coaching career is OVA.

Graycap23 said:

Another huge blow to the Jets, with Leon Washington out for the season with a broken fibula. Damn.

And to make things worse, he and his agent took a risk and didn't accept the Jets' contract extension($5mil in guarantees, plus another $5mil guaranteed for injury protection).

uPtoWnNY said:

Be patient. The Giants are still 5-2. A few of their weaknesses
are showing because of injuries. Still a lot of football left.
Every team usually has ups and downs throughout the season with
the exception of the bottom feeder teams throughout the league.

There is cause for concern, with only one win over a quality team, and two bad losses in a row. Our schedule is brutal:

at Philly
SAN DIEGO
Bye
ATLANTA
at Denver
DALLAS
PHILLY
at Washington
CAROLINA
at Minnesota

Best game of the day - Vikings at Steelers. That was old skool Steeler defense. But Mendenhall, WTF is he doing, fumbling on the 3???

uPtoWnNY said:

That WAS a great game. I loved watching them jump on Brett's ass. But Adrian was a BEAST. I bet he wanted to kick Brett's ass for throwing that interception after the monster run he had where he hit the shit outta that defender. That was awesome.

SCNDLS said:

That wasn't Brett's fault. Taylor should have made the damn catch.

uPtoWnNY said:

Maybe THAT time. Somebody need they ass beat cuz Adrian was laying fuckas out on that drive for it to end in a turnover.

uPtoWnNY said:

Mendenhall was doing his Walter Payton impersonation. The problem was he
wasn't hurdling over the goal line, it was the fucking 3 yard line.
That's why Coach Tomlin inserted Mewelde Moore in the game during the last
5 minutes. Thank god the defense made plays in the 4th quarter yesterday
or Mendenhall would have been the goat. I like the guy's upside but he must
realize he isn't Walter Payton yet not by a longshot.

My ass is never going to pick Oakland again.
I am 9-3 this week with my lone fart picks of Oakland and Carolina.
I did pick the Giants but if they played again next week i'd still
pick the Giants. They have a long history of beating up the Cards.
Hopefully the Eagles can win tonight and i'll go 10-3 this week.

What took 'em so damn long???

Report: Adams wants Young starting against Jaguars

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—Jeff Fisher has stayed away from a quarterback controversy all through the Tennessee Titans’ dreadful start.

Now, team owner Bud Adams reportedly wants a change.

Adams informed Fisher he wants Vince Young(notes) to start over Kerry Collins(notes) this weekend against Jacksonville, according to the Tennessean. The Nashville newspaper cited sources Tuesday that Adams apparently told Fisher his preference after the Titans lost to New England 59-0 on Oct. 18 and became more insistent during the bye week.

A call to Adams’ Houston office was referred to the team’s media relations department in Nashville. A message was not immediately returned Tuesday.

Fisher declined Monday to say who his starter will be Sunday for “competitive reasons.” He had stuck with Collins throughout the 0-6 start as the best chance to win.

In an interview on WKRN-TV Monday night, Fisher said that the quarterback decision would “be revealed over the next couple of days.”

He denied any tension with Adams.

“We talk. We’ve been communicating through the whole process, and we don’t have any issues,” he said. “Despite what you hear, despite what you read, the decisions we make are collective decisions.”

The Titans practiced Tuesday and had their first team meetings since returning from their bye.

Collins had not been told of any change when the Titans last spoke with reporters nearly a week ago.

But the Titans are one of three remaining winless teams in the league—St. Louis and Tampa Bay are both 0-7. Fisher wants to shake up things for a team that has lost eight straight games since last season, when Tennessee sprinted out to a 10-0 start en route to the NFL’s best mark at 13-3.

The Titans are last in the NFL in time of possession and haven’t scored a touchdown in eight quarters.

“We’ve had a week to do some different things. And especially considering the circumstances we’re in right now with the record, there’s things that you need to do differently,” Fisher said Monday. “Let’s just say I’m not going to be as specific and (will be) open-ended from a competitive standpoint.”

Collins has completed 108 of 197 passes with five touchdowns and eight interceptions this season. His receivers also have dropped a number of passes, stalling drives and contributing mightily to all the losses.

Young is 0 of 5 with one interception in mop-up duty only in each of the past two losses. His last start other than the 2008 regular season finale that was meaningless was the 2008 season opener in Nashville against the Jaguars. That was the game in which he was intercepted twice and had to be told by Fisher to go back into the game. He hurt his knee a few plays later.

The Titans have been down this path before, as Young replaced Collins during a winless start in 2006. Young went on to win Offensive Rookie of the Year, helping Tennessee finish 8-8 after an 0-5 start. Collins was signed just before the ’06 season. He went 12-3 as the starter in 2008 and signing a two-year deal this offseason to return.

When asked about Young’s readiness to take over if called upon, Fisher said, “I think he, along with a lot of the players that are in backup roles, took advantage of their opportunities last week.

Vince won't do much better.

uPtoWnNY said:

Maybe, maybe he will. But they NEVER woulda let him lose 8 straight games THAT bad without making a move much earlier.

Chiefs bar Larry Johnson over gay slur..

uPtoWnNY said:

What now??? This dude just can't stay outta trouble. Didn't he say on Sunday that his dad had more coaching cred than Haley? You know that's the REAL reason he's being banned now cuz players use that word all the time in the locker room and nobody says anything.

Jamarcus Russell just doesn't get it.

If the Union stands 4 this.....they have NO union.

uPtoWnNY said:

Does this surprise U?

Graycap23 said:

Nope, and the blame for this falls on Al Davis. He fell in love with the kid's arm, but ignored the other shit. It's obvious Russell doesn't grasp what it takes to be a successful NFL QB. Raiders are fucked.

uPtoWnNY said:

I'm afraid that u are right.

Graycap23 said:

They might have to if the team can say it's conduct detrimental and tie it to his contract.

SCNDLS said:

How is that detrimental?

Graycap23 said:

Undermining the head coach and using homophobic epithets in a public forum while discussing the game. Yeah, they can make that stick and he ain't gon say shit.

SCNDLS said:

If that sticks.....the NFL union is a joke. We all KNOW why he was suspended.

Graycap23 said:

Why?

SCNDLS said:

He's full of shit. According to an interview I heard with Collinsworth(on WFAN), the Titans organization doesn't think VY is the answer. Great. So now they have to draft another QB, spend tons of money on him and hope he pans out in 3-4 years.

uPtoWnNY said:

I still think Vince can make it but he needs to be on another team and developed instead of being allowed to languish on the bench.
