Wow Cyn.  Even though it means nothing for my stinky Giants now, I can't tell you how happy it made me to see Dallas get spanked on MNF by your Bears.  And your guys looked great!  Wondering how you feel about your backup QB - do you still want Cutler if he's healthy?  Congratulations on another win by the Brady Bunch Joy.  So awful about losing Gronk again.  Poor guy must be so discouraged to get hurt  after coming back with a vengence.  Alex, what can I say.  We both got let down again.  I stopped watching my guys after the first half.   I just hate that the rest of the games are meaningless.

Welcome back Joy. I hope everything went well. Gronk is from the Western NY area so he is obligated to follow suit to the Buffalo curse at the expense of his career. Bettyjean, stinks that we have several more weeks of meaningless games to go throught. Only Silver lining is that I will be going to Buffalo to watch them take on the Miami Dolphins. Means nothing to the Bills, maybe something for Miami. Either way if we can sweep Miami with friends and family at the stadium that would be fantastic. My brother in law is a Miami fan and this is our annual trip. Go Bills 2014 Super Bowl bound.

Wow, Cyn, what a game last night!  Congratulations!!   Bettyjean & Alex, I am really so sorry that your teams are doing so poorly.  But really, at least if they each win the next three games it will make the end of the season feel better.  And as Boston Red Sox fans said for 80 years or so before 2004, there's always next year. It will come.  :(    And definately beat up on Miami, Alex!

I'm telling you, if those Patriots don't stop making these last few seconds comebacks they are going to do me in.  I can't believe Gronk got hurt again and is done for the season.

Congratulations Cyn!  You did great.  I will pulling for your Buffalo Alex and I never Gronk was from your neck of the woods.  If it's any consolation, last year Giants stunk and once we were out of the playoffs, the next game, we beat Eagles up badly.  That was the game that decided that Reid  must go.

Joy, when you talked about the stress of last minute comebacks, brought me back to that last time Giants went to SB.  They did that frequently, and I got myself so worked up, it was almost unbearable to watch.   NE could be following the same path... you never know.
