and I still get butterflies. I've got a grandson to help nurture into the fold and no matter what happends -- win, lose, joy, agony -- it's ulitmately all about family. GO GIANTS!
...as to what is likely to happen tonight, however some things will always hold true: A good running game, solid defense, and eliminating turnovers...gives any team the best chance to win. If we don't beat ourselves, and keep the game close going into the 4th...we have a legit shot.
I honestly can't remember the last time I felt as down about Â
I cant get a read on this team. Just havent seen enough. I do think the defense will be tough. Im really just wishing like hell JPP plays like the beast he was a couple years ago.
and get some early first downs, I think the offense and McAdoo will let out a collective sigh of relief and really settle in. Cruz and Manning both echoed the sentiment that they were holding back most of their offensive package throughout preseason and I hope that is truthful.
Thought Megatron and Bush present daunting tasks on defense, I think we have never been more better suited from a secondary standpoint to keep them at bay.
game is that Detroit has a penchant for giving away games.
They have too many new faces, new offense and questionable pass rush to be considered anything but mediocre. A successful season this year to me is that they show steady improvement offensively and that the OL becomes at least a functioning unit. Defensively, if JPP proves me wrong and becomes a force again and Moore is really a player then they can be a dominant defense. The back 7 looks good, but without a pass rush they will eventually cave.
I think people continue to run under the assumption Â
I really, really don't feel that way. Time may have clouded the full scope of how fucking awful that unit was last season.
Agree here. We ran the ball well this preseason whereas last year we couldn't get the ball out of the backfield. If Eli can get the ball out quickly, I think we have a real shot.
than I did when we opened against the Redskins, following our Super Bowl season, in 2007.
Lastly, I was never more excited,confident,and determined as a fan, that we would go on and repeat that year as well. Until Plaxico shot himself in the leg.
Coming into this season, I'm at the complete opposite end, of the proverbial spectrum, with my emotions. I totally feel like we're going to get embarrassed tonight. My hope is to be proven wrong.
But, nevertheless....
I'M STILL EXCITED!
I've never seen so much negativity around this team or less Â
This is the least optimistic I've been about NYG in a while, but.. it's a new season. There's no way I'm not going to be excited. And it's also not exactly a team like the Raiders or someone who just isn't going anywhere this year and everyone already knows it.
We'll need a lot of good fortune to be a playoff team but at least it's not totally out of the realm of possibilities. Let's just get a win early on and avoid anything resembling 0-6 again. What a fucking nightmare.
I know this is saying nothing new but if they can run Â
put so much into the preseason....and judge week 1 outcomes on that.
49ers looks terrible in the preseason and go on the road and smokes Dallas
Bill 1st team offense doesn't score a single point in the preseason...and they go on the road and get a solid win at Chicago.
People were raving about Indy they way they walked through the Giants in the 1st 3 quarters...they lay an egg at Denver...and Luck really doesn't play that well.
It goes on and on. The preseason means nothing!!! except injuries and getting practice time!!!
Man that will make a lot of the other problems on Offense look much more minor in scale as it will show the OL is effective, and there can be some balance.
I'll take 2nd and 8 vs. 2nd and 12. And 3rd and 4 instead of 3rd and 9.
the GIANTS DEFENSE is the best unit on the field tonight.
we may not have a great pass rush but we FORCE TURNOVERS and clamp down in the red zone. looking for the D to step up, get the better of stafford and win the game for us
KILLDRIVE!
Eli sucks, wheres Nassib?
Should have drafted Zach Martin
Fucking draw play.
As unlikely as it probably is, hopefully they somehow prove me wrong -- starting tonight.
Thought Megatron and Bush present daunting tasks on defense, I think we have never been more better suited from a secondary standpoint to keep them at bay.
21-17, Giants kick the season off with a dub.
Go Blue!
Can it?
The Lions are one of those teams that actually disappoint their fans more than any other team....so although slight...I have hope.
Win/Lose....play competitive football

Very nice. I'll just say I hope we don't suck, because there are strong indications in the preseason that we might.
GO GIANTS!
Well that explains a lot.
710
Jon Beason will start at MLB, Jameel McClain at SLB, and John Jerry at RG ... #Giants lineup

Snyder,wynn,bromley, and Brown are healthy inactives
If that + JPP is all-pro form, barring significant injuries, we'll be in the playoffs.
BLESSED
???
Williams is the starting WLB, why would you think he is going to the bench?
