Play it cool, Big Blue fans. Play it cool. It’s only Hakeem Nicks ruled out for Thursday’s game in Carolina. NFC Offensive Player of the Week. 10 catches/199 yards. No big deal. That just means it’s time for Bradshaw to step…oh shit. I guess the pressure’s on for David Diehl to anchor the offensive line & protect Eli as he…fuck.

I’d like to hope it’ll be a Salsa Party all night, but I’ll venture to guess Ron Rivera will have a double-team or two ready for Cruz. So what’s it gonna be, G-Men? Is it possible for the D to step up and contain Cam Newton & Co. to somewhere in the teens? Will Andre Brown & David Wilson run all over the Panthers? Can Randle or Barden fill #88′s huge shoes and even bigger gloves? Maybe. But with the chips down and Eli “Bat” Manning looking for a Robin, there’s only one Giant to have in his sights. The Black motherfucking Unicorn.

Last time the Giants were in a similar situation without Bradshaw/Nicks/starting o-lineman, they beat the Pats in Foxboro 24-20. Jake Ballard scored the game-winning TD with 15 seconds left. Just saying…
