The Browns Might Be The Last Team Big Blue Wants To See At MetLife This Weekend
Obviously when a doormat matchup shows up on your team’s home schedule, every fan pre-chalks up the victory. I did. Already skipped passed the Brownies and consumed myself with the 4-game stretch after this weekend’s game. Then I thought about it and realized something – the Giants suck dick at home. Doesn’t matter who they host. Since last year, they’re .500 at MetLife – the only legit team they beat was Dallas to clinch the NFC East. They got beat up by Seattle and Charlie fucking Whitehurst. Lost to the Eagles with Vince Young running the show. Their other wins? Well, they did beat the 2-14 Rams. Squeaked past big, bad Buffalo with a last-minute FG. Mounted a 10-point 4th quarter rally to put down the Dolphins, who came to town 0-6. And, last but not least, this year’s comeback victory against perennial powerhouse Tampa Bay. So for as pathetic as Cleveland has been since Bernie Kosar, you can be assured this will be a game regardless.
The Browns have lost 10 straight going back to 2011. They’re due. Trent Richardson is basically frothing out the mouth over how he plans to run rampant on the G-Men after watching LeSean McCoy rack up a buck 23. He’s a legit concern. Weeden’s been a serviceable QB – tossed for over 300 in his 2 road games, including last week at Ray Lewis’ house. With the potential for the Giants’ mediocre-at-best-when-healthy secondary to be missing Rolle, Phillips, Hosley & Webster (all 4 skipped practice Thursday), he wouldn’t be the worst signal caller to have a career day against them (see Whitehurst, Charlie). If you’re expecting Eli to be able to pick them apart, that’s possible – but he’ll once again be without Nicks, most likely Barden and probably won’t have his regular line protecting him. Plus, Cleveland’s D isn’t awful. They’re up near the top of the NFL in sacks & picks, and D’Qwell Jackson is a beast. If I’m in the Dawg Pound, I gotta feel like the stars are aligning.
I’m not saying I think NY will lose – I’m just saying I wouldn’t put it past them. Either way, this weekend isn’t gonna be the worry-free coasting to San Francisco that Giants fans may be expecting.
Eli needs to call Vick and ask him how he dealt with the “dog pound”……
Oops, I just remembered…Vick is a dog murdering sociopath!
24-2 win over Atlanta in January at home
Your point is taken without inventing the nonsense about Rolle and Webster not playing (every real Giants fan who follows the team knows they are playing, not that either of them is good). I was at the Seattle game last year and I was so mad I shit myself between the stadium and Secaucas… once you turn 25, need to stop trusting farts.
I don’t trust farts, politicians or the Giants playing at home against mediocre competition in October. And @zjfj- that was in Hotlanta. How do you make that mistake? We went 9-7 and you think we had a home playoff game?
@Deez – it was a home game even though they had a worse record. Giants won their division, ATL was a wild card. But my point was regular season home games as a heavy favorite. They ALWAYS play down to their competition while usually stepping up in big games (i.e. Dallas & ATL last year).
whoops. my mistake. I’m pretty hungover today, possibly still drunk, but that is no excuse for not realizing it was a home game.
christosterone, seriously bro. Get the fuck out of here with your Vick comments on every blog
couldn’t agree more, 610. 2-3 is not a good look especially since the Browns are our last ‘gimme’ of the season. The next 4 games are bad? Try the REST OF THE SEASON. Skins are no joke, then we’ve got in no order – packers (out for revenge), saints (say what you will, they still pwn the g-men), falcons (out for revenge), Ravens and the Steelers. Throw in div games against Eagles and Cowgirls and we’ll be lucky to go 9-7 and win the Super Bowl again. LOSINGEST. DYNASTY. EVER.
forgot 49ers (out for revenge) and the bengals.
