Marion Barber may not have had a great day statistically, but he almost singlehandedly willed this offense forward. Imagine what he might be able to do if the offensive line decided to actually start blocking for him.

How can you not love Marion Barber?? Top 5 RB in the league!!

Brad Johnson. Watching him play you have to question the play callling and offensice scheme. Defense are stacking the box against the run, knowing that right now Johnson doesn’t have the ability to get the ball to his receivers downfield. So you ask yourself why not more slants, comebacks, dink and dunk stuff? Well for one, he hasn’t been accurate on those either. I do know this: If I can guess that we are about to run a screen or dump off to Barber on third and long, I’m pretty sure the defense can as well. More on the offensive game plan later this week.

Impossible to scheme for Brad ineffectiveness, like you said if we know what Brad can do, DC’s definitely know what he can do.. Having Brad back there makes to predictable. The Giants D is too good for this, time to warm up Brooks.

As for the extent of how much control Wade took from Brian Stewart, he said this in his post-game presser:

Brian didn’t lose his job or anything like that. He does a great job. I just felt like if I got more into it, it would help. I don’t know that it helped any. We conversed on a lot of things. I make the direct calls and he backs me up and that’s what we do.

Wade is trying to be nice to Brian, but then he says “I make the direct calls and he backs me up” we know who is actually calling the plays.

consider this, the last game he played, in Week 4 of the preseason playing for Minn against Dallas, he was 6-18-62-0-0. For his career, he is 201-343-2155-8-8 with a QB rating of 75.2. In contrast, BJ’s career QB rating is 82.7. In ‘06, in 15 games for Minn, he had a 72.0 QB rating. In his 2 games this year, BJ’s QB rating is a 60.3. How about a Bollinger highlight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxiAJ-GTbSQ

   Is there a real possibility that Bollinger will play this week? I doubt it, seeing the conservative nature of this coaching staff. I mean, they started JJones for 16 games last year, what does it take for them to change the depth order?

   I can’t see a chance of winning with BJ this week. Unless we get divine intervention gift of turnovers, penalties and special teams, it will be agonizing to watch. NYG is 3rd in total O, 4th in total D. We do have the players that can win this game despite our injured guys, but we do not have the QB to do it. So what is the game plan this week? Start BJ and expect either divine intervention or a loss, or roll the dice with Bollinger hoping he can get the ball downfield?

because with the way the defense played yesterday, we could definitely beat the GMen next week with our superstar qb under center.

To beat the Giants without Romo, the defense or ST will definitely have to come up with a score or 2 and even then the game will be close. Fans are just going to have to accept the fact that Wade isn’t going to play Bollinger unless Brad gets hurt and our offense is severely limited with Brad under center.

If our offense gives us another 10-13 points next week, I’ll be thrilled to death because the Giants actually have a better defense than the Bucs. I don’t think putting Bollinger in the game will help because he just hasn’t played enough with the starters and probably doesn’t know the offense well enough yet.

If we hold the Giants to 17 points or under, we have a shot, but like I said, only if we get a defensive or ST score.

Another game just like this one against the Jints — the problem being that the NY offense is a lot better than Tampa’s, and we’d better have some decent O to counter.

Pray to God Witten’s back and healthy for that one…

on your first point. The rash of TB penalties at the half won that game for us. Not taking away from our D, but we weren’t capable of scoring without some help. Great effort to reduce our penalties, keep it up!

The only other games they lost were by 4 pts to N.O. and by 3 to the Broncos.

Wade just emphasized on MondayMorningQB that Brad is the starter. At least with him, his overthrows tend to go over WRs AND DBs heads. Maybe if he gets a little timing down this week, we’ll see some improvement.

I don’t want Bollinger’s 1st start for the Dallas Cowboys to be against the Giants this week. Dallas has a real chance to sustain at the top of the division and Brooks will most likely make some bad decisions.

Defense and ST gotta go another week without being bailed out.

AND Dallas has a healthy long snapper.

This D can play as tough as Pittsburgh’s and pull off a win by shaking Eli up. The Steelers really shut down Big Mouth Brandon Jacobs and that is key. We all know the Dallas D doesn’t need much to pump themselves up to take that guy outta the game.

doesn’t make sense to sign a CB for 1 game
