Lets Slaughter these Damn Rams

As I sit here in my chair on this NFL Sunday, I can't help but feel like I have been ripped off...

That's right we have to wait another loooooong day until we watch our beloved Gmen. But Giants fans, trust me our patience this weekend will pay off. I have a very good feeling going into this Monday night showdown against the Rams. Motivation seemed like a key factor in our loss to the Redskins a week ago, and I feel it wont be an issue for our first home game.

Justin Tuck looks like he should play, and so should Hakeem Nicks. They are both listed as questionable but I would be surprised if either one of them didn't suit up. Tuck being back would be a huge upgrade for the Dline since he can draw double teams, and that would allow Jason Pierre-Paul to only improve from his solid performance in week one.

Don't forget the Rams are a little banged up as well. Running back Steven Jackson is making an effort to see the field and he is also questionable. Wide Receiver Danny Amendola will not play tomorrow night, and even quarterback Sam Bradford is a little shaken up as well. He has a sprained ring finger on his throwing hand but I don't think that will bother him too much, I mean he's no Tony Romo.

I don't see our defense having any trouble against the Rams offense. With Amendola out our secondary should be able to handle their receivers no problem. The Rams did run the ball effectively against the Eagles last week, even after Jackson was hurt. But without an effective balance to their offense in the passing game it's nothing I see Perry Fewell and the Giants defense having any problem being prepared for.

If there's any concern going into the game it's how the Giants offense will play. We know Spagnuolo likes to blitz so it would be nice for us to get the run game going and be able to run some play action. This will make Spags more hesitant to blitz and allow Eli to have time late in the game. Pound the rock dude. We didn't have enough rushing yards last week against the Redskins and frankly it's because we didn't have enough rushing attempts.

Run the ball early and often. Allow yourself to be in control for the second half and be one step ahead of the defense.

Frankly I can talk until I'm blue in the face about how we are struggling to move the chains, how we looked a little sloppy against a Redskins team, and how people even doubt that we have what it takes this year. But if there is one thing I know about football it's that it is a game of emotion and motivation. There's no doubt in my mind the Giants will come our with "fire and desire." (Clyde reference).

That's right baby, the smoke will rise and our hero's will leave the tunnel on national television and take our home field, known as GIANTS STADIUM, and slaughter these damn Rams. Yeah, I said Giants stadium. Take a hike Snoopy because you're MetLife sponsor isn't welcome by us Giants fans. It was Giants stadium in 1976 when Wellington Mara purchased it and as far as I'm concerned any stadium in the Meadowlands will be known as such.

Long story short: Home field advantage. It goes a long way and the Rams don't know what's coming...
