steve smith has been nothing more then a 3rd down reciever for the giants. i watch every game of theirs.
very reliable possesion reciever but we made him look lik an all pro. he is not as good as he looked tonight.
the giants were worried bout having to use him on the outside wish is why they drafted hakeem nicks.
mario had a solid camp but neither wr looked this good all preseason or even last week
our secondary if anything made them look better then they really are.
for us to get beat on by lower level wr, none of which can command double coverage really says something about us
hopefully we get these issues corrected
I came to the boards today just to see what Cowboys fans were saying, and I had no intention of posting but I saw this and couldn't help myself.
This is by far one of the more idiotic posts on the board. For someone that claims he "watch all the games of theirs", I'm amazed at how wrong you could be.
First of all, Steve Smith has been someone that Eli Manning thinks incredibly highly of. As does Jerry Reese. Tom Coughlin doesn't think highly or lowly of anyone, they're all just cogs in the wheel to him. Steve Smith is not going to be the most physically dominant wideout in the NFL, but he's gonna play hard and he's gonna be where you need him. He's got fantastic hands and incredible moves (just ask Orlando Scandrick). You guys should be begging to have a player like Steve Smith on your team. He keeps his mouth shut, loves the game, and loves to learn.
And the notion of we drafted Nicks because we were desperate to replace Smith? That's just stupid. Did we draft Mathias Kiwanuka in the first round because we thought Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora, and Justin Tuck were "lower level" defensive ends? We drafted Nicks because he is a good player, and we needed depth at our WR spot. Steve Smith has been phenominal. If you're watching every Giants game and think Steve Smith is a "lower level" wr, then you're doing it wrong. If you don't have respect for your oponents, you just look like a child throwing a temper tantrum.
Second of all, It's a mistake on the part of football fans these days to think that things are even CAPABLE of going perfectly. The play-calling was decent and you had some fun schemes that I was very impressed with. That one near the goal line where you had the TE roll back behind romo, and then barber took the handoff like a fullback? Wow, that was genius. I'm pretty sure that play netted you an Barber touchdown. Also splitting Martellus Bennett out wide so our cornerback Terrell Thomas had to tackle him? Great play.
This game COULD have gone very differently. We drop one of those INTS, you break a long touchdown, and you guys would be cheering at how your team toughed out a hard win, and you're going all the way to the Superbowl. blah blah blah, all fans do it.
