I dont know if any of you guys agree , but for the first time watching our games whenever the camera zoomed on Tommy on the sidelines v the Jets he didnt look good ! What i mean is he had that worried look even when JM was talking to him. Could he have been ill, becoz he sure looked it. Sometimes we catch him smiling, speaking to players, but this game he was not the same. I hope not so he can travel well to London and light it up for all our UK fans.

Actually I have noticed that about him for awhile now, not just the Jets game. I've caught plenty of instances of hem where he doesn't always look like he's having as much fun out there.

I said it last year before the superbowl. The Giants players were having fun, talking smack, enjoying themselves, and it seemed like our guys just were not allowed to have any of that.

Felt sad for our guys. I imagine after awhile it becomes draining to always be so serious and professional. After all, this is a game. And entertainment.

Gronk was pretty much the only guy on this team that showed excitement and passion and this year, even he seemed to have been neutered.

The expectations they face is greater than other teams, because for this team it's Superbowl or bust. I just hope it's not at the point where a regular season win is no longer enjoyable or something to look forward to. Of course it doesn't help when any time you win you end up criticized as much as when you lose. They have to win a certain way, or beat opponents by a certain amount, or otherwise it looks like they lost.

A close win in overtime basically means we failed, and should feel embarrassed, rather than what it means for most teams which is an entertaining, hard fought and exciting football game with huge plays when the game is on the line.

Just my two cents.

Ummmm what? One poster implies "Tommy" is sick and another that TB is not allowed to show exuberence and/or isn't having fun out there. Am I getting this right?

PatriotSeven

We agree on the symptoms, I just believe it's a different cause...

Winning...the miracle cure of everything.

if anything, I'd say first, that at 35, this is not as easy for him as it once was, and also that he could be getting frustrated with the poodle that just showed up to screw with the offense

He doesn't look ill. He looks frustrated. A constantly interchanging O-Line because of health reasons and shaky execution in the majority of their games this season would probably be why.
