I'm sure many of our players have friends and family in Florida. The storm had been pounding Fl all day and was working its way up the coast at kick off. These guys are only human. I'd imagine they were very distracted and mentally exhausted making sure their families were safe. Yes Cowboys players probably had to deal with it as well, but at least they were the home team with no travel. IMO it must have been very hard to focus on the game plan. Reminds you that life is bigger than football. These guys are playing a super human sport but they are still humans like us.
Also I don't know if he posts here but I was clearing trees from the roads around my hotel in Miramar yesterday and a guy stopped to help. He was a Marine of 26 years named Dan. Kept saying I was wearing the right hat. After we finished he had to take his phone out to show me lots of pictures of himself in Giants gear to prove he was a fan! Said he was a life long fan from Brooklyn. Giants fans know how to do it! I have a picture but don't know how to post from my phone.
The Giants played poorly on Sunday for a lot of reasons, but he hurricane was probably not one of them. All that is known for sure is that there is plenty of room for improvement, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
I hope you and your family are all safe and recovering...
Looks like you guys are having problems getting back into the keys with federal and card sound road closed, that's some crap.
How long are you booked in the hotel for? If you need a place I have an extra room in Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood area near the airport. Let me know.
I figured Flowers went to school in Miami, Jerry played in Miami, JPP is a Deerfield guy. After reading on here they were improving in the preseason I figured maybe this was the reason for the sloppy play :) Admittedly I didnt see the game. First game I've missed since Redskins Dec 2007. This boards been so negative and depressed I was looking for an excuse, any excuse to stay excited this season.
Man... Fuck them!
Now we can get back to playing some football.
