This Week on the Blog

This week just started off nicely as the Giants beat the Lions to move to 10-4.   The Rangers play later.  The Knicks need to regroup and the Yanks still haven't done anything stupid.  Let's take a look.

Giants: It's pretty incredible that they've gotten to ten wins since they are prone to so many unforced errors. Once again they lost an Odell punt return TD because of block in the back away from the play.  But they did get TD's from Odell and Sterling as well as a big catch by Cruz early.  I'm surprised they haven't been more clever with the three of them.   OBJ did launch a great block on Sterling's WR screen which set up their second TD.  Wing had another good game and pinned the Lions a few times.  Jackrabbit Jenkins left the game with a back and we'll have to see what that is. Perkins was averaging 5 yards a carry, but somehow they tried to grind it down with Jennings again, and ended up going three and out twice in the final four minutes.  Sub-optimal.

Knicks: the Knicks D has come apart again. And it's made them look terrible over the last two games.  Rose has been out, and Melo and KP are both nursing stuff that seems to be limiting them a bit.  It may be time to start starting KOQ or Willy at C.  Both of them have been impressive, and Willy had a double double last night. Noah hasn't been able to muster much, and they've got to figure out their best rotations.  Still a work in progress, but they need to regroup.

Rangers:  the Rangers won by way of a shootout last night and later today have to come back against the Devils.  Nash and Puempel have been back, which has helped, but their margins have really narrowed without Buch and Mika.  The call-ups have been playing well, but the talent level is degraded without those two. But they are showing some character(though they indefensibly let Hank get run the other night - which I hate), but they're winning tight games, and they might run into some of those even if Buch and Mika are back for the playoffs.

Yanks: I'd assume they're done till January.  Let's be grateful that they're haning onto their picks and prospects.

It's a slow week, so maybe I can post some more, but if not, have a great one, and thanks for posting.

Spags can't get enough credit, especially in light of the injuries.

I can't imagine Quintana being available at a price worth paying.

They'd want a Chris Sale-type package, and he's not Chris Sale. Pass.

New York Giants running back Shane Vereen was placed on injured reserve Tuesday for the second time this season with a triceps injury. This one ends his season.

Backup quarterback Ryan Nassib also landed on IR with an elbow injury.

Has there ever been a trade for a name veteran starter involving top prospects lthat Axisa didn't want to make?

As Rose goes, so goes the Knicks. He may be fragile as hell, but that's the bed Phil made.

I thought the penalty for the walkie-talkie was a bit severe.

In the context of making the playoffs. can they win a game they should win? That's what makes tonight's game even more interesting.

Fuck the OL and the refs.

Also, giving Jennings half the carries, especially in the red zone, is coaching malpractice. Perkins is light years better.

Prayers for Stot. (The real one.)
