Kevin Gilbride: Magician or Genius? Maybe BothBy Dr. Bill Chachkes When History begins to be written about this weekend's Super Bowl, no matter who wins, Kevin Gilbride will be a major contributor. While Giants Head coach Tom Coughlin and 1st Yr GM Jerry Reese will get most of the credit, Gilbride will be the offensive expert behind it all. Known as a coach with a knack for getting the most out

The Giants are in the playoffs by virtue of their 38-21 win over the Buffalo Bills. That's the good news. The bad news is, Eli Manning did nothing to give us Giants fans hope with yet another sub-par performance. The other Manning went just 7-15 for 11 yards and two interceptions...not to mention his 20 fumbles and countless faces of frustration. Before fans of Big Blue even sat down with their

Well, I’m not surprised. It took only one week for the Giants to slap the positive outlook out of me as they once again played a horrendous home game. The G-Men were nice enough to share their lump of coal—a 22-10 loss to the Skins—with everyone and I just wanted to thank those who gave the gift that keeps on annoying. Tom Coughlin—you’re killing me. I could tell what kind of night it was going

As I sat there watching the Eagles go right down the field on their opening drive, my phone rang. It was, of course, my mother. She made one of her startlingly observant statements about the Giants being terrible and I calmly said, “It’s still early.” Forget the fact that I was correct…the more important thing here is that I actually thought it. Usually I’m the first to dismiss the Giants, one of

Whether you saw it as “sweet redemption” for Eli Manning, or felt that “it’s about friggin’ time” that Manning did something…you saw the giant performance as one thing: a much-needed win for the entire Giants organization. Manning overcame yet another dismal beginning by leading the Giants to two fourth quarter TD-drives and a 21-16 win in Chicago. Manning needed only two passes to pick up where

Sharper, Smith, and Greenway…it sounds like an accounting firm. But the only things they accounted for this past weekend were touchdowns—three of them—gift-wrapped by Eli Manning. The Giants, and Manning in particular, put forth an absolutely disgraceful effort on Sunday as they were whipped by the Vikings, 41-17. The only good thing about this pathetic display is: no matter whom you want to

It’s the short week, Thanksgiving week…a time to give thanks. I’d like to thank the Giants for being 7-3. Phew. The Giants won a game they needed to in Detroit. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t impressive, and didn’t tell us anything other than this: The Giants are the third best team in the NFC. Yay. They yawned their way to a 16-10 win in a turnover-filled game where the two teams COMBINED for less

Week 10 was a week of tests. Some teams and players passed, and some failed. Essentially, we found out what the deal was. Let’s start with the Giants/Cowboys game where we saw another test and another sub-par result for Eli Manning. I’m not ready to throw in the towel on him yet…yet…but it’s increasingly apparent that he’s not going to be a “big game” quarterback. In each game he’s needed to step

There’s blood in my mouth cuz I’ve been biting my tongue all week…but I’m back from London and the Giants/Dolphins game with much to report. Since the G-Men had a bye this past week, what better time to tell the tale?The game was at 5pm local time…giving everyone plenty of time to enjoy some adult beverages beforehand. Nice. On our way to the game, which was ridiculously easy to get to, we

MIDSEASON MUSINGSBRYAN PALMESE, NFLDBThe midway point of the 2007 season is upon us and it's time to check out some division by division observations. There are some obvious headliners to date not the least of which is the amazing performances put on in the AFC by the Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts and their Conference rival New England Patriots. The two heavyweights will square off

The Colts have been here before and the Pats are looking like a team for the ages. The Patriots have looked so good that they will be the favorite on the road against a Colt team that is the reigning champ and going on 13 straight wins. They have also beaten the

The Patriots have started 7 and 0. Everyone and their mama are going on and on about Brady and his boys hitting 16 and zero this season. I guess that recent history is already forgotten. The Colts have started the last three seasons as hot or hotter then this year’s Patriot squad. (not true at all—look at the numbers) Those Miami boys only had to wait until week 13 at the longest to pop their

Yeah, yeah—we all know Tom Brady had a perfect QB rating against the hapless Dolphins. 21-25 for 354 and 6 TDs, and he could have done twice that if he wanted to. But here's my question: why doesn't someone knock him on his ass? If you're the Dolphins, what do you have to lose? I'm not advocating injuring a player, but come on Miami—send 11 guys if you have to! Give Brady something to think about

The Giants beat the Jets 35-24 at the sun-soaked Meadowlands this past Sunday, and although I left the stadium thinking the Giants might not be so terrible, there were no such doubts concerning the Jets. They stink on ice. Consider this: Eli Manning had a whopping three completions in the first half, none to WRs. One to someone named Michael Matthews (yeah, who?) for 6 yards, one to Derrick Ward

Far too often legends end their respective careers donning the jersey and colors of a team other than the one that they shot to stardom in. It's sad to see such great players that led

D’Arcy Maine, NFL Draft Bible What did we learn last week? Never underestimate Donovan McNabb. After a week filled with intense media-scrutiny for his on and off-field actions, McNabb was in desperate need for a win. And win he did as he led the Eagles to a 56-21 victory over the Lions on Sunday in a phenomenal performance. The Philadelphia quarterback helped deliver touchdowns on all of Philly’s

ANOTHER CLEMENS COULD SHINE IN GOTHAMBy Bryan Palmese, 4th & GoalQuarterback controversy isn’t the word, but one could be brewing on the horizon in New York. Far too often, when a starting quarterback struggles or suffers a setback, people rush to usher in his replacement. After last weeks’ impressive start for sophomore signal caller Kellen Clemens, could the end be near for veteran Chad

-David Narushev, NFL Draft Bible- Thank goodness Wellington Mara isn’t around to witness what the Giants have become. What was once a proud, dignified, and extremely image conscious organization has descended to depths I’d thought it would never reach. Undisciplined behavior on and off the field has made them an NFL laughingstock. Their defense is listless, disorganized, and just plain threw the

OBSERVATIONS FROM WEEK TWOBy D'Arcy Maine, NFL Draft BibleWith “cameragate” safely behind us, Sunday and Monday provided some great (and some not-so-great) football. Some teams were decisively impressive (Patriots, Cowboys), some surprising (Buccaneers, Packers), and some just downright depressing (Eagles, Giants, Saints). But I was struck by some teams and players for various reasons and wrote

By Ralph Mancini, NFL Draft Bible Senior WriterLet’s face it. Seeing the San Francisco 49ers show signs of recapturing their long lost identity as a traditionally prolific offensive force towards the end of 2006 was something that just felt right, no matter what team you live and die for.The Niners are to offense what the Bears are to the rough, slobber knocking, take-no-prisoners defensive

WINNING DOESN'T ABSOLVE CRIME BUT IT HELPSBy Marc Jimenez, NFL Draft BibleThe New England Patriots accomplished two things by crushing the San Diego Chargers, 38-14, at Gillette Stadium on Sunday night: 1. They proved they are a dominant team. 2. They got the critics off their backs amidst a cheating scandal which resulted in a $500,000 fine for coach Bill Belichick, plus an additional $250,000

Try Not To Dig Too Big Of a HoleBy Bryan Palmese, NFL Draft BibleThere’s no reason to panic after one week in the NFL. Truthfully, there shouldn’t be a reason to do so after the second week either, but in today’s NFL, some nerves should be rattled. Parity and strength of schedule allow so much less predictability in the game. The philosophy of approaching each game one week at a time and

The Wild Wild WestBy Brian Palmese, NFL Draft BibleFor the last decade, the NFC West has been a two horse division. “The Greatest Show on Turf” in St. Louis and the “12th Man” in Seattle have been running the tables out west. Granted, for a better part of this decade the Cardinals have been the team that people want to usher into the playoffs and live up to the impressive talent they have on

By D'Arcy Maine, NFL Draft BibleThe Washington Redskins will not win the NFC East. This isn’t exactly a bold statement and few of even the team’s most ardent fans would argue. However, the Redskins are going to surprise a lot of people this season and will become a significantly more difficult opponent as 2007 progresses. Last season Washington (5-11) had one of the worst defenses in the league.

For instance, you can count on Peyton Manning leading the league in QB Rating, LaDainian Tomlinson leading the league in rushing and Chad Johnson leading the league in unique touchdown celebrations.

By Brian Palmese, NFL Draft BibleFor a while, June 1 was a key date for organizations around the NFL. It was yet another cog in the machine, which helped facilitate putting a successful team on the field -- June 1st cuts. Teams that had not managed their salary cap very well would trim the bloated contracts that were impeding the team from putting a winning product on the field, while other

TAKING BACK THE EAST: FIVE REASONS THE GIANTS WILL WIN THE NFC EASTBy Marc Jimenez, NFL Draft BibleThe New York Giants are supposed to be in a transition period. Their all-time leading rusher is gone. Their quarterback is an enigma. Their defensive end hasn’t shown up for work and their coach might be fired at the end of the year. But if there is one thing we learn from football, it’s that

By D'Arcy Maine, NFL Draft BibleThe New England Patriots franchise has managed to create astonishing success during the last decade around fundamentally-sound, team players. But after winning three Super Bowl titles in four years (2001, 2003, 2004), the last two seasons have been disappointing, with postseason losses to the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, respectively.

By Bryan Palmese, NFL Draft BibleWhy are some teams mired in mediocrity? Better yet, why are there those few cellar dwellers that seem to end up in last place, drafting in the top ton every year? Some teams have figured out the formula and are able to get out of the rut within a few years of solid off-season moves. Let’s be honest, eventually every team has that horrid 5-11 season, loses some

TO START A ROOKIE QB OR NOTBy Marc Jimenez, NFL Draft BibleAfter Brady Quinn’s relatively good performance on Saturday during a23-20 loss to Detroit, it was easy to figure out that many people would be expecting him to leapfrog over Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson to become the Cleveland Browns starter. Quinn, who entered in the final 9:20, was 13-of-20 for 155 yards andtwo touchdowns. In his

By D'Arcy Maine, NFL Draft BibleAs a struggling graduate student, I often daydream about what my life would be like if I were a professional athlete with a multi-million dollar contract, various endorsements and a fame that could get me essentially anything I wanted. It’s an enticing thought that has probably crossed the mind of every sports fan. I’d like to think that, in addition to my “Cribs”-

“Serve The Public Trust, Protect The Innocent, Uphold The Law.”That could be the mantra of the NFL…but isn’t. It’s a quote from the character of RoboCop, the robotic crime fighter of the late 1980s. It’s easy to understand how a robot’s quote could be mistaken for an NFL quote. After all, the people who run the NFL and many of its stodgy, jealous, ultra-conservative, Haterade drinking fans want

By D'Arcy Maine, NFL Draft BibleWhile I'm thankful for teams and players who are positive role models for the legions of their young fans, the NFL wouldn't be what it is today if it wasn't for the screw-ups. These are the players with the cocky swagger whom we love to hate. We love to tear them apart, yet we can't take our eyes off of them. And no one embodies this persona more than

David Narushev, NFL Draft BibleHe never had the breakaway speed of Gale Sayers or the blunt force impact of Earl Campbell. He could never cut and move in ways that defied physics like Barry Sanders. His runs never made the highlight reels, and his low key personality ensured that lesser backs would get more of the spotlight. Curtis Martin quietly stepped away from football without the fanfare

PRESEASON FOOTBALLBy Marc Jimenez, NFL Draft BibleI think the preseason stinks. I wouldn’t go as far as saying it is meaningless, although at times I feel that way, but I just can’t get into it. I’m just tired of the fact that the preseason plays out like a daytime soap opera: Will Roger Goodell suspend Michael Vick for the entire season? When will the Raiders sign No. 1 pick JaMarcus Russell?
