It's really hard to believe that a bunch of Pacific Northwesterners can make so much noise, but Qwest Field was pretty sick last November. Leave it to a billionaire to figure out how to build an open-air stadium that's noisier than any indoor stadium, but it's going to be loud, for sure.
Tomorrow will be the only time media will crowd around Jay Feely and Luke Petitgout on the same day. Petitgout answered most of the questions about his 5-false start day from last season's game, and Feely will surely not duck answering questions about his three missed field goals from that day, so this story may not have legs. But the Giants do have something to prove back out in Seattle.
I expect Jeremy Shockey will try to play, because he's Jeremy Shockey. If he were missing a limb he'd beg in. It's what makes him so special as a player and makes every Giants fan hold his or her breath -- Shockey only knows one way to play, and that way ends up with him either limping off the field, or with a loose tooth and blood on his face or shivering from all the ice on his body after games.
If I were Tom Coughlin, I'd dress him but barely let him on the field. He needs two weeks for his ankle to at least get into some sort of playing shape, and it isn't worth losing him for the final month to try and wring something out of him this weekend.
Love the Eli debate, by the way... It won't be settled for quite some time, so keep it up, keep it clean and keep the comments coming.
Best Monday Night moments... The Who opened with "I Can't Explain" and "The Seeker," then went from "Baba O'Reilly" into "Eminence Front." Awesome... Even better that I didn't have to watch a second of a brutal MNF game.

The Eagles game means nothing unless the defense shows up in Seattle. Anybody seen a pass rush? not MEEEEEE. Cut down on the penalties, fix the rush and get the ball to #s 21 & 27. Go Giants!!!
I'll tell you one positve that may come from the Eagles game. Teams seeing how explosive we can be on offense, may try to control the clock on us. That means more runs and we can handle that.
hey Arthur, when will we see you on Giants Online again? We miss your insight and ability to speak, not shout over the others. Great, great, great job with the blog!!!
Arthur,
Great article on the O-Line the other day. I’d like to see a similar write-up (this week) on our worrisome secondary.
And keep blogging!
Hopefully we get a few more lucky wins (if not ugly wins). It’s been my observation that a new defense doesn’t come together (in the secondary) until they’ve had some significant time playing together which might mean the second half of the year. [Gulp.]
Props on your no-huddle call.
That ‘win’ in Philly left me feeling much worse (more uneasy) than that ‘loss’ against Indy. It should have been the other way around. I’m still trying to figure out how we were so badly outplayed for 3 quarters. (It was like the G-men had cement in their shoes.) Thankfully after all of the dust settled we’re 1-1.

get shockey going already!!!
Yeah, We see how well your game prep went. I was wondering through most of the game if Shockey was playing.
If NY couldn't beat a team that sucks as much as they and you, think the SEAHAWKS do, Y'all in real trouble. Oh and I'm sure "they" don't think that anymore...but I'm sure you are still in the dark.
