Big Blue Joe Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Link. For the Giants, incredibly, it can get worse.And it just has. After losing three cornerbacks, defensive tackle Marvin Austin and backup linebacker Clint Sintim to season-ending injuries in the past month, the Giants will now be without their starting middle linebacker Jonathan Goff, who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament, according to someone informed of the injury. The person requested anonymity because the Giants haven't yet commented on the situation. Someone else informed of the specifics of the injury, who also asked not to be named, said Goff knocked knees with a teammate in practice on Monday. He left to ice his knee, but was still having issues today, so he went for an MRI that revealed the full extent of the injury. Ok. Which one of you has the voodoo doll?

Kindred Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Jesus, are there going to be any giants left for us to play by the time the season starts? I'm beginning to suspect that they did jack sh*t to prepare themselves in the offseason and are thus injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 can the Giants just concede the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibby Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I cannot imagine what the Giants will look like by mid-november. The season hasn't even started yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueinBuf Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Well at least this breaks the Giants streak of one position being decimated by injuries per season. Now it's one position being decimated plus a sprinkle of injuries at every other position on that side of the ball apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McD5 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Is the Giant's defense comprised of 11 Malcolm Kellys? Say it with me people: Kellys.....plural. And on another note, best wishes for a speedy recovery, and successful career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckus Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Karma is a *****. Coughlin was talking about the long injury list that accompanied the 4-12 record in Fassel’s final season, when he said that injuries can be a “cancer,” and suggested that some players get comfortable in the training room. “It is something that has to be corrected,” Coughlin said. “It is a mental thing, I believe, as much as it is anything else.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGREENHULK Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Wow....if our oline can get any kind of push and get our backs into the 2nd and 3rd level there won't be anyone left to stop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgeh Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Sadly I think we'll miss Landry a lot more than the Giants will miss Goff. It could be a fun game this year; a good but injury-riddled defense on one side, a largely rebuilt defense on the other, Eli looking uncomfortable in preseason, and who knows which Rex, good or bad, will turn up.

SkinsFTW Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 "“It is something that has to be corrected,” Coughlin said. “It is a mental thing, I believe, as much as it is anything else.” " Coughlin is saying that the injuries are "Mental" as much as anything? Wow, sounds a little like Vinny describing Chris Samuels a couple years ago right before he retired for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, sounds a little like Vinny describing Chris Samuels a couple years ago right before he retired for good. That quote is from the press conference when TC was hired in 2004. I believe he was referring to how the Giants basically quit on Fassel in '03 and there were alot of lingering "injuries" on the team. I don't think he was referring to injuries such as torn acls. That said, it was a pretty stupid thing for him to say and it has been brought back up almost every year whenever the giants lose players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I have absolutely NO clue as to how this game will turn out ...the injuries on both teams is throwing everything out the window. That being said, the number of serious injuries that the Giants are weathering is almost abnormal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
