I've been gone for a little over a week and in that span my Mets absolutely nosedived out of the sky into a mountain down a valley erupting in a fireball. Their whole team is injured as per usual and they're getting beaten down by the Phils 28-0 every night...AKA it's officially football season.
As a Jets fan I've seen my fair share of preseason injuries and subsequently barely watch the games at all. I look at a recap afterwards and just pray that no one of any significance got hurt. The only thing good that can come out of preseason in my opinion is that everybody stays healthy and gets in a few reps. The Jets have been a little dinged up this preseason, but luckily nothing too bad. Some groins and calves and sore backs, a la Plaxico Burress. But nothing close to the extent of the New York Giants.
In all the time I've watched the NFL I honestly can't remember ever seeing a slew of season-ending injuries such that the Giants have had. Terrell Thomas, Prince A., Marvin Austin, Brian Witherspoon, all have gone down in the last couple of days. They literally have only 2 corners left, and as we all know in a passing league, this hurts. Osi, although he wanted out via trade, got his wish via injury also. Not to mention they've lost Eli's favorite target in Steve Smith, and their above average TE, Kevin Boss.
It's been a rough go for the G-Men thus far, and as the annual Jets-Giants preseason game nears, I can only pray their bad luck doesn't infect the Jets on the field. I don;t understand how people can get hyped up about this game, frankly this game just scares me. If I were Tom Coughlin I'd wrap my players up in styrofoam like that nasaly little kid in Little Giants. And if I'm Rex I keep rubbing my lucky feet because thus far it's worked.
