Zod's Giants Stadium Ramblings...

Just thought I would share a few ramblings from my Giants Stadium experience.

1. NY Fans are actually a lot like Carolina fans. Most were polite with only light hearted smack.

2. The teams get introduced out of the same gate, their locker rooms are adjacent to eachother. I found this odd.

3. The turf is god awful. It resembles the stuff your grandma has on her back porch, only not as new. Much of it was wet, and essentially, an ice rink.

4. NY Fans scream a lot of profane junk to the players, much more so than Carolina fans. One thing I found very funny though, is that the only player no one was screaming at was Smitty. He stood there at the corner of the endzone during the game just staring the crowd down. Not a word from them.

5. Many snowballs were thrown from the stands onto the field, and many fans were kicked out because of it. At one point I caught a snowball, and wished I had a way to bring it home. I pointed the guy out to security who kept making an ass of himself. The security guy called it in and said "watch this". He smiled and waived as he was escorted out.

6. Saw Keyshawn in the tunnel near the locker rooms and chatted with him a bit. Even in person without the pads on, he is a big dude.

I may think of more, will add later.

They probably remembered the Lucas incident

I would have liked to have seen a photo of how Zod and jbro was dressed - just to see if you both dressed properly for the weather. I'm betting not.

I was wondering if anyone was getting in trouble for all the snowballs. They were pretty plain to see on TV.

Did you notice that one guy in the black Smith jersey in the endzone - I think it was above the tunnel. He was next to a guy in a white #90 NY jersey. He got a lot of face time.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
