Nicks in real danger of missing game today

Josh in the City : 11/24/2013 12:17 pm
Surprised that I didn't see it posted but if I missed it, I'll delete:

Quote:
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning that Hakeem Nicks (questionable, groin) is indeed in danger of missing Week 12.
Per Schefter, Nicks has a strained abdominal muscle, and Schefter received a text message from someone presumably associated with the Giants who said it "might not be looking good" for Nicks to play against the Cowboys. Nicks' absence would be a major matchup upgrade for upstart third receiver Rueben Randle, and a blow to Eli Manning's Week 12 fantasy football outlook. The Giants and Cowboys don't play until 4:25PM ET Sunday afternoon.

The snowball effect with regards to coverage on our other weapons is going to hurt the most. Not a good day to pass, let's pound it.

It's probably better that the sits this one out.  
Ira : 11/24/2013 12:34 pm : link
When he plays hurt, he doesn't help the team and the injury just lingers.

Someone close to the Giants decided to leak that now? Doesn't seem like our style.
If he doesnt play  
dep026 : 11/24/2013 12:34 pm : link
and we win, Randle for starter.

Game of the year, must win, he practiced, and now isnt sure he wants to play. Good riddance.
It is fucking windy as hell out today...  
arcarsenal : 11/24/2013 12:35 pm : link
I'm not sure how much either team is going to be able to throw the ball downfield.

Dallas is allowing close to 5 YPC on the ground this year and more than any other team in football. Might be a good day to feed Dre and Big Jake and just pound the crap out of them.
I'd expect more two TE  
PEEJ : 11/24/2013 12:36 pm : link
and less 3 WR sets anyway

Nicks always wants to play. It's in his nature, he's ultra competitive.

He's a winner

Wont be throwing lot of deep passes
Jj and cruz and 82 and TEs can do it.
We need to run....put Murphy in..
Give him an easy post route...
D wins game if they sack Romo..
No excuses..
Ash.. it's two cripples dancing, really..  
arcarsenal : 11/24/2013 12:40 pm : link
I'm just hoping we're more stable. Their defense is terrible.

I think Nicks is going to play, though.

Dave in Hoboken : 11/24/2013 12:42 pm : link
it might be alittle bit more up in the air than we thought. Or maybe they are playing mind games with Dallas, who knows. Either way, he practiced. So, I would think he would play. Guess we'll see.

jLefty : 11/24/2013 12:47 pm : link
Nicks will play and be more valuable than anyone else in his spot.Demarco Murray is a tough back. Jacobs has surprised me but he's still averaging under three yards. Hope Myers gets into the mix like last week. Is JPP really breaking out? Romo can throw a lot of dunks to his receivers as well as go long. Really gets the ball out quickly. Be great if we win..
people always talk about the wind this and that  
Tuckrule : 11/24/2013 12:47 pm : link
they will throw the ball plenty and we need nicks. I think hell play hes a tough dude

Nicks is clueless in his approach to his walk year. Look at him, compared to Cruz last year (Cruz was only approaching RFA, but was under similar pressure too). Polar opposites. IMO Nicks is playing afraid.

Not.
I can't imagine they'll be much yards in the air anyway- with the wind.
Doesn't make a difference if we the ans are all in  
Optimus-NY : 11/24/2013 12:59 pm : link
It's the players and coaches who matter. Nicks playing as a decoy would be sufficient today, especially with regard to the weather conditions. He would help more as a decoy, than Jernigan or Murphy would helping to take his place.
All in, baby.  
arcarsenal : 11/24/2013 12:59 pm : link
There is no tomorrow if we don't win today. The Giants know they can do this.. just go out and execute. Just can't beat ourselves.

Let's fucking go.
If they don't win today's games, then it would feel like the last 4  
Optimus-NY : 11/24/2013 1:04 pm : link
victories will have been for naught. If they lose today, the Giants would be 4-7, and be two games back of the lead with 5 to play. If Dallas sweeps the season series with the Giants, then it would effectively be 3 games back due to head-to-head tie-breakers. Absolute must-win today if the Giants are serious about winning the division.
We know it, the Giants know it..  
arcarsenal : 11/24/2013 1:11 pm : link
That's why they're going to take care of business today.
JJ and Murphy  
Simms11 : 11/24/2013 1:13 pm : link
have an opportunity here, in front of the home-town fans, to do something great. We've had good games from the likes of Barden, in Nicks absence, and so this is time for the next guy to step up!!

Huge game today for the offense too.

AcidTest : 11/24/2013 1:25 pm : link
abuse Nicks takes here is unreal. He is a warrior who has played through many injuries in the past. If he's hurt, he's hurt. His frustration is the realization that his injuries may already be catching up to him, and that he probably won't get the big FA contract he wanted, either from the Giants or someone else.

Today is a running day anyway. It's going to be no more than thirty degrees at game time, with twenty-five mile an hour winds. Nobody is throwing the ball down the field. Our running attack has come alive, and the Cowboys can't stop the run.
People wanted to sit him so let's see what happens without him

I hope we let him go and make sure we let every GM in the league know what sort of player they're signing. It might not make a huge difference, but the smaller his market, the less lucrative his contract.
We should not  
TMS : 11/24/2013 2:34 pm : link
start a gimpy Nicks over Jernigan or Murphy. Nicks has not been getting it done when he was healthier. This is frustrating because Jernigan has looked good on some plays when given a shot. Then he f//ks up again and it back to the bench. Come on JJ you have the skill set to dust this Dallas secondary.

Eli is throwing passes to Cruz. No sign of Nicks. I fear I'm going to be surprised afterall.
