Hi ,

Can this communicated to the team ?

ESPN rankings for week 14
Wide receivers

Stud: Randy Moss (7 catches, 135 yards, 2 TDs)

Honorable mention: Brandon Marshall (10 catches, 115 yards, 2 TDs)

Dud: Terrell Owens (3 catches, 21 yards)

Dishonorable mention: Isaac Bruce (0 catches)


Team Defenses/Special Teams

Stud: Seattle Seahawks (5 INTs, 5 sacks, 1 safety, 1 return TD)

Dud: Dallas Cowboys (0 takeaways, 1 sacks, 27 points allowed)


T.O and defense needs to pick up some steam against Eagles.

I swear that the Giants are the luckiest 9-4 team in NFL history. Just looking at their numbers and player stats you can't find 1 reason why they've won so many games. You can look at the Jags and see that it's Garrard and their running game. You can look at Seattle and see that it's Hasslebeck. You can look at the Bucs and see that it's Jeff Garcia, their running game, and defense. But looking at the Giants and it's not because of Eli, the running game, or extraordinary defense. I don't expect that we'll see them again because they are just smoke and mirrors.
