Giants Titans news and previews
We're going to be thin at linebacker since Brandon Short didn't come to Nashville. Arthur Staple reports that DE Michael Strahan, DE Osi Umenyiora, CB Sam Madison and T Luke Petitgout are also absent from nashville.
The New York Times discusses the big question, which Manning is in Nashville?
His completion rate, a source of frustration for the Giants in 2005, was 65.3 percent in the first five games this season but 49.4 percent in the past five. Only one quarterback has thrown more intercepted passes.Let's hope we don't have to watch Manning get outplayed by another rookie - I don't think I can take that kind of torture. The Daily news asks if we should expect that kind of torture (Manning playing like crap) for the next few years.
The USA Today game preview has some quotes from Manning as they state the obvious (the Giants have to win this game). The Courier News lists a few of the game's key players including Pierce and Burress for the Giants. Burress' drop on that bomb for a TD was more torturous than most of Manning's throws last week. Mike Garafolo reminds us that when we should be thinking trap game we're now actually wondering if the Giants are good enough to beat the Titans. The Daily News has a Kiwanuka quote about how hard it can be to defend Vince Young.
Well that's it. I'm too scared to make my own prediction. If the Giants play hard they should ahve the talent to win. If they play like they don't care (like some seemed to against Jacksonville) who knows...

He reminds me of Aaron Brooks. Aaron would go out and stink the place up (like he does these days) and then walk of the field with a smile on his face.
Hey I'm all about being happy, but you just threw your 3rd pick and your smiling at what?
Wake up Eli before you get benched.
PS- Nice blog James.

As a Giants Fan I wish for this season to be finished. As a team they just need to throw there jerseys & helmets int he lockers an go home till spring training. I mean they SUCK. I hate being a fan to be tortured. I would rather be back in Iraq getting shot at than see the Giants find new ways to hurt me from the comfort of my own home. Tiki is smart to retire. It's not like the Giants want to win....or maybe they would. If we faced the Detroit Lions, Arizona Cardinals, and the Oakland Raiders I doubt we could win 2 of those 3 games. Dallas will get their revenge an beat our sorry asses at home(we can lose the rest of our division games as well)& I expect it to be a blow up. We'll lose by atleast 2 td's.Way to Play Big Blue!!!!!!!
