Giants vs. Dolphins in London

The New York Giants and Miami Dolphins travel to London, England this week to play at Wembley Stadium next Sunday at 1pm eastern. The game marks the first NFL regular season contest to be played outside of North America. Miami is the home team.

The Giants are on a five game winning streak and feature a hot offense and a dominating defensive line.

The Dolphins are 0-7 and don't look to be getting much better. Ronnie Brown is out for the year. They have allowed over 230 points this year, among the highest in the game.

Cool Re: Giants vs. Dolphins in London

I don't see any way the Giants lose this game, unless they have more jet lag than the Dolphins.

Re: Giants vs. Dolphins in London

Derrick Ward is listed as doubtful (ankle) on the Giants injury report. If he doesn't play, it looks like Jacobs will get the majority of carries with Ruben Droughns getting a handful of touches.

Talking Re: Giants vs. Dolphins in London

the dolphins probably have more on disabled list than actually gave on the team. No Ronnie Brown, NO Trent Green, NO Renaldo Hill, and No Zach Thomas.

Go Giants let's make it 6 in a row.

Welcome to GTG.

Have to agree with your assessment. The only question is how large a lead the Giants will have.

Re: Giants vs. Dolphins in London

I don't like the concept of a regular season game across the sea...I think this is just a way of saying, "Come, lets have a terrorist attack on our very American game"...this trend is going to be a tragedy waiting to happen.

huh?

I don't understand your slippery slope thought process. What's the difference between security in the U.S. and security in London? It's not like they haven't planned and worked with the likes of Scotland Yard.

Re: Giants vs. Dolphins in London

Giants lead 13-0 in the 3rd. Looks like Chatman is the only Dolphins player playing.

Giants need to control the clock the rest of the way and dominate the line of scrimmage.

Re: Giants vs. Dolphins in London

Giants ended up winning, 13-10 over in London. The Dolphins made a late surge and tried for the onside kick but failed and the Giants ran out the clock.

Jacobs had another career day as far as rushing yards go. Eli Manning only had 50+ passing yards but had a rushing TD early in the game.

Now the Giants are 6-2 (six game winning streak) and have a bye week. In two weeks, they meet the Cowboys again.

I think Europe (especially London) presents an easier target. Nothing against the yard. But If I were a terrorist, I be thinking...hmmm, we can make a bigger statement by saying "Hey, we are halting this American game from spreading abroad" then randomly attacking a game in the state. On the other hand, since I am not a terrorist, I guess I could be wrong. Still, tempting target I call it.

Sloppy game for everyone. But as a G-Men fan i'd take an ugly win over a dignified loss anyday!

Re: Giants vs. Dolphins in London

Receivers were swimming in that game that's why Plax didn't have a big game! Plus Will Allen played a great game on him. That ball must have been slippery as a greased hog in that game. I really hope they don't hold the Super Bowl there ever because it would be the Mud Bowl.

Re: Giants vs. Dolphins in London

Don't think we ever have to worry about the Super Bowl being held overseas.

Tom is right though, that field was a mess. Guys were slipping and flopping all over the place. Thankfully, nobody was hurt (seems the GMen already have enough sore ankles).

Re: Giants vs. Dolphins in London

Get the feeling the British fans didn't understand some of the nuances of the game? The jeering and booing when Manning was taking a knee in the final minute was one tipoff.
In The Times of London yesterday, the game story stated: "The Giants elected to run down the clock rather than risk any further entertainment."


ELI SHRUGS OFF 44.9 QB RATING



Ha Ha Guess they never heard about the debate here about running up the score!!!!
