Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

He is only out for 12 weeks so it no big deal.

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

I heard 12 weeks. Which would be mid Aug

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

Not sure where the hell I got 6 weeks from. He is a Giants player so the longer the better.

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

at least it happend now. out 12 weeks, i'll bet he will be ahead of scheduele and ready for the opener

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

...also lost Witherspoon torn acl (second time).....and so it starts.

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

**** the Giants. I call this a bit of karma.

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

part of the game...Nicks seems to stay dinged up. With their effing luck another Victor Cruz will emerge.

Sirius brought up the point that the giants need to check their training field. This is the same injury that their cb had.

Re: Tough break for the Giants

Heeheehee that's fantastic! So see we've already had that karma come around and it's moved on the Gints, it's like the wave but in a totally bad way.

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

I'd like us to play teams at there FULL STRENGTH so when we BEAT them there's no excuse. HTTR.

Breaks my heart.............not

No doubt, the G-men have a good coaching staff and can re-coop from this minor setback. These freaking Romosexuals down here act like this injury just guaranteed them a victory on opening night.

I'll take a win anyway we can get one.

[quote=KI Skins Fan;918620]I'll take a win anyway we can get one.[/quote]

Exactly. In this league now, injuries are a part of it, and games don't get put on hold or count less in the stats. If the media wants to bash you, they will anyway, and our schedule will be tough enough with out having to beat every team at full strength at every game. They aren't not going to take joy in beating us if we lose a playmaker. And this year, maybe, those will be the wins that get us the division, or wildcard.

It's also no surprise. He's scary when on the field, but that's the thing...he's been injured a lot in his career. He still has not played a full season and has played through a lot of injuries.

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

12 weeks is probably best case assuming there's no setbacks. He's probably not going to be full speed to start the season.

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

Victor Cruz outplayed him last season anyway. They lost Manningham, but they're fine at WR.

Besides, this might get Devin Thomas on the field. :D

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

Well for one I don't feel sorry for them. Karma is a bitch. In regards to Nicks foot, It has always seemed to me that when a players has some form of foot injury they never seem to be back on the field right away. Yea the doctor will say 6wks 8wks whatever but it always seems like they turn out to be nagging recovery and don't fully heal for almost a year. In some cases longer depending on how many times the player irritates the situation by trying to come back too soon.

Look at the bright side. We played them at the end of the season with players out due to injuries and drug penalties..... and beat them. Injuries happen. Teams can't use that as an excuse since they are supposed to be able to have decent backups to fill in.

I hate that argument from the Giants' fans. They were "injured" when we whipped them twice.

So you were handicapped by injurues? We were handicapped by Rex Grossman! We still walloped your butts TWICE.

I think Devin moved on to the bears if I remember right.

My gut feeling is that this is an old school "super bowl hangover" year for your boys & they struggle w/bad luck & uninspired play to about a 7-9 record.

Problem is, every time since post Tuna that I've felt that way about them, they end up winning, beating us & making the playoffs.

Re: Tough break for the Giants

Right. Maybe he can do something there with Johnny Knox possibly out for the year

You're right.

The Giants are screwed then!

You remembered right.

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

The Giants are solid at WR, even with the loss of Mario Manningham. Akeem Nicks's injury should be fully healed by the time the preseason begins let alone the regular season. Whether he plays or not really doesn't matter. We did a pretty solid job against him in both games against the NYG last season, not mentioning that 68 yard bomb he caught over our secondary in week 1.

Handicapped by I thought one starting OL (Brown) who was injured early in the season, an one OL (TW) and one TE (Davis) for drug penalties. Not to mention we had a bad Safety group so our secondary was not up to par. A starting DL (Jarvis Jenkins) who was out all season. etc. etc. They have no excuses. Injuries are a part of the game. The team who can stay the healthiest and the team who has the better backups to step up and keep the team from falling off talent wise will win.

Plus Hightower, Moss, Cooley...

If anything, we had MORE key injuries when we embarrassed them, both times.

Oh man definitely. Last season was one of the worst injury/suspension seasons I can remember.

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

Plus Kyle Shanahan running the offense, that's a season ending injury.

LMFAO that's excellent...thanks for the belly laugh on a Friday Crusty!

Re: Tough break for the Giants
 

Look I remember games where the Skins were the best team in the league ....and would lose to the worst.I'ts the NFC East your record does'nt matter when you play, the games usally are knock down dragout wars.I will even go as far as thanking the Skins,had they not beat us the second time like they did.....we might not have finished out like we did.

Quite possibly your best point ever posted on these forums.

Even though I think we can win the division this year, I will say that getting beat at the end of the season by a universally recognized bad team led by Rex Grossman prolly did light a fire underneath your asses last year. Im sure Coughlin didnt make the practices the week after that loss particularly easy for them......
