Talking Giants Football  

In this episode, fans await the possible return of LB Michael Boley, the Giants could be headed for an 8-8 season, and what has Antonio Pierce not only feeling frustrated but mind-boggled.

Giants head coach Tom Coughlin wasn’t very pleased with his team’s performance this past Sunday. Could you blame him? The New York Giants (5-3) sustained their third consecutive loss, 40-17, to the Philadelphia Eagles (5-2) knocking them out of the top spot in the NFC East. New York’s inability to avenge last season’s divisional playoff lost to the Eagles further reinforced the notion that the Giants are indeed a struggling football team. “No one said this was going to be easy,” Coughlin told his players after Sunday’s game.

Aside from RB Brandon Jacobs’ 86 yards rushing, the combination of offense, defense, and special teams didn’t add up to spit. The offense, led by QB Eli Manning, was forced to play catch-up throughout the contest. Manning gave the Giants another uninspiring performance by completing just 45 percent of his passes for 178 yards and an interception. The defense was accused of “shoddy tackling” that was more or less caused by poor communication. “We’re out there thinking too much,” DE Justin Tuck said. As for the special teams, kick returner Domenik Hixon fumbled the opening kick off of the second half giving the football right back to the Eagles.

Adding insult to injury, Talking Giants Football’s Anthony C. Wayne was forced to fly solo in this episode due to technical issues with his phone lines. In a valiant attempt to get through to the show, co-host Tommy L. Biggs would eventually be denied the chance to participate and share his insightful commentary regarding the state of the NY Football Giants. At any rate, Wayne decides to pay homage to his co-host by asking for more pressure from the defensive line and citing Giants tight end Kevin Boss’ 18-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter that made the score, 16-7.

Wayne wraps up the show with the hope that he’ll see the Giants we all know and love against the San Diego Chargers this Sunday and head into the bye week on a good note.
