They can only play one game at a time. The front four need to step up tonight. Eli will be fine maybe the running game gets going with Andre Brown as he’s hungry and in his hometown. We’ll see. GO BLUE!

I have watched Nicks play at Independence HS in Charlotte and, even as a Panthers fan, I was looking forward to seeing his return. He was probably going to get a very warm welcome as a visitor – and he deserves it.

Because hes on my fantasy team. If he wasnt, he would be fine.

Ramses my man, STEP UP! Randle will be ready to. Bennett should get even more looks as well.

I picked them to lose in a survivor pool b/c of the injuries. It had no effect, as the NYG had a dominating win. And I’m no fan of NY, just goes to show that anything can happen in this league, and hoping that it’ll be a good game.

Andre Brown, (who is also playing in a homecoming of sorts since he played ball in Raleigh at NC State) will need to have a big game because Chris Gamble has been one of the most under rated corners in the league for years now, and I just don’t see Cruz having a monster game in that matchup.

Panthers win this one 31-24.

Hasnt dressed the first two weeks. Little fast guy that could get a few looks.

Eli and G-Men will need to rely on Barden and Randle to replace Nicks.

Cruz will be doubled and more targets for Bennett at TE.

Maybe “kinda in the doghouse” rook Wilson hits a home run while Brown grinds out the yardage in the backfield.

Dont count the champs out of this game before it starts.

GO BLUE!

Carolina is going to stomp on New York. Can’t wait to see the Giants excuse after this one.
———————————————————————–No excuses. But no need to be a d-bag about it. Can’t just say “Too bad. Always want to play the other team at full strength. That’s the REAL measuring stick for how good my team is playing.”

Too bad about the O-Line injuries for Carolina. Always want to play the other team at full strength (see, how hard was that?).

Good luck, may the better team win.

NYG will be an 8-8 team this season.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sure, and last year there was no way they would beat the 15 and 1 Pack, then go to SF and beat that great defense. Then of course they were going to lose to the Pats because they have the best coach and QB ever.

End result. Another Vince Lombardi trophy. Give it a rest, talk is cheap…play the game.

The Giants are a team every opponent will have to deal with and it will be no picnic.

That Giant d-line is beast mode and as long as they have Eli throwing the rock, they are a hard team to beat. Also we are a young team that is getting a taste of prime time football for the first time in a few years. Should be a good game. Too bad Hakeem will miss his homecoming.

Just like someone else pointed out (and immediately came to mind for me), the Giants beat a much better Patriots team under the exact same circumstances last year. There will be plays available to be made against that sieve of a back seven for Carolina in the passing game.

He will be back week 4.

They still have a shot.

Godell keeps talking about player safety but now he wants these guys to go out and play 4 days after taking a physical beating on Sunday.

I am glad the Giants get their Thursday night game out of the way early this year insteady of playing it in week 9 or 10 when guys are really beat up.

Sucks for Nicks. It was going to be a homecoming for him.
