ESPN Blog: "Giants Need To Get Angry Like The Panthers"

Look at the team that just crushed them Sunday. The Panthers spent the past week furious about the way they'd lost their Week 2 game to Buffalo. They had the lead and let rookie quarterback EJ Manuel march down the field and throw a game-winning touchdown pass to a wide-open Stevie Johnson in the end zone. It was embarrassing, and as they spent the week answering questions about how they were going to overcome all of the injuries in their secondary, they seethed. They compared themselves to wounded dogs. Their defensive linemen took it upon themselves to make a mess of the Giants' offense -- to take out all of their frustrations by sacking Eli Manning over and over again and making the statement that they didn't like the way it felt to be run over by Buffalo.

When will the Giants play a game like that? This week? Next week? Ever?

Hey, at least it's recognition from somewhere. . .

The offensive line for Giants has just slowly been giving up and it was like yesterday they finally hit the wall and didn't even try. I did notice Eli sacked himself once or twice knowing beforehand the line wouldn't hold up.

It's nice to see some articles acknowledging that we did still show up and play. Most of the news has been about Giants in despair, Giants 0-3, Giants in trouble?, and then they show all the sack highlights and one interception highlight and then mention us once with Cam having a pretty TD pass to Ginn - end of highlight sequence. Analysts then proceed to talk about the Giants for the next 15 minutes with no mention or acknowledgement of what the Panthers might be doing or Rivera or anything.

I guess we do have a bye, whereas the Giants have to travel to play the Chiefs D which has looked pretty legit. They're definitely going to be 0-4.

Was the number one pass offense, lost to Dallas by a small margin despite 6 turnovers....no clue what is destroying them from inside.....they did kick all their productive RB's to the curb....and then resigned Jacobs last week. Weird.

 

Outside of Wilson's two fumbles, its not really him. He has the talent to be a top back in this league. Its probably honestly just the offensive line and d-line.

This week will be a slow week for sure....but next week they will for sure amp it up....talk about how this game puts us back at .500 and how we still haven't lost any division games and how the NFC is shaping up....Boys we have a chance to win the division to get a wild card to make the playoffs....Boys we have to keep pounding.....and win game number 1....its not only next man up its next team up....one game at a time.....KEEP POUNDING!!!

    • this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.  
    • The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.
    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
