Who on this list do you see the Giants beating? If the Giants can't beat an overall average Texans team @ home this week I see a downward spiral coming where the Giants can maybe muster 2 wins out of the NFC East and then maybe wins against Jax, Ten, and St Louis. I think a loss this weekend spirals this team down a road of 2 - 5 win season.
3 Houston Texans
4 @ Washington Redskins
5 Atlanta Falcons
6 @ Philadelphia Eagles
7 @ Dallas Cowboys
8 Bye Week
9 Indianapolis Colts
10 @ Seattle Seahawks
11 San Francisco 49ers
12 Dallas Cowboys
13 @ Jacksonville Jaguars
14 @ Tennessee Titans
15 Washington Redskins
16 @ St. Louis Rams
17 Philadelphia Eagles
I think the exact opposite. I think they beat Houston and lose to Washington and Atlanta. That's how hard this Giants team is to figure out.
I can't wait to see what Mara's next move is going to be. Who will be the Giants next coach. I really believe this will be it for Tom. It's the same song and dance every year. The Giants need a face lift.
I'd be surprised if we hit six wins.
That's this team the past few years. Hoping and not knowing. And that appears to be even more the case this year. Those type of teams lose the way this team has become accustomed to losing. They are so worried about fucking up that that's what they wind up doing. Until they get past that and even if and when they do it will probably be too late.
We're bad, but not so bad that we can't stay in some games, capitalize on some breaks, take advantage of teams that are injured or just didn't show up.
We won't be favored too often though. I could see the possibility of getting to 6 wins, although 4 or 5 seems more likely at this point.

Atlanta has a terrible defense. This is what we heard every time the Giants faced a terrible defense last year. I am still, unfortunately, a firm believer that this team and offense will "get going" by lighting up the scoreboard against a poor defense. For the Houston game, I believe it will be the same recipe as it was for last game. The Giants will fall behind, jump ahead, and find a way to lose. At the beginning of the season I had the Giants going 8-8. I think I set the bar way to high. RSC.
In 2013, I hoped the offense could drive the ball. When they did, I was pleasantly surprised. Down 22-14 in Sunday, I knew the offense had at least one more drive in them (and they did; thanks, Jennings).
I feel like one thing on Sunday will determine if we look like we did against Detroit or Arizona. How much is JJ Watt able to run free?
They're worse this year. I'd be shocked if they win 4 games.
Will we? Probably not, but its entirely possible on any given week.
36, 41, 38, 31, 36, 27 (when our "savior" Beason made it to New York.
....
Thanks to 3-4 interceptions PER game
I can't imagine the Giants getting off to THAT bad of a start this year, but yeah it will probably balance out to 5 wins. Ha. Hey, Eli only has it down to 2 a game! I guess that's something to be perky about.
Yep!
After what i witnessed last night, there is no way for them to keep Philly out of the endzone

If they generate a lot of pressure on Foles the Giants can win.
We would have to play well above the talent level on the team to go 4-1 in the next 5 games.
0-10 start is no chance. Division games will be close and they'll steal a couple here & there. And that's if they don't improve at all.
1-15 no way as well. 7 teams have finished that poorly since 1990. That's 1/4 century. I won't argue with a possible 4-7 win team if shit doesn't improve but there is a marked difference between bad and historically bad.
I think theyll probably be 1-9 or 2-8, barring more injury breaks at quarterback
its bad right now. So bad that people see progress in a home loss to drew stanton and the injury depleted cards. Thats where we are.
The Cardinals are a mess right now, and the Giants couldn't beat them at home. That's a really bad omen for the rest of the season.
The Giants have morphed into UVA right before my eyes. They find new ways to lose every week.

The last part of this is absolutely mind boggling to me. If we made progress this week, then we really fucking suck to begin with, because we lost to a backup QB on a team coming east on a short week that rarely ever plays well on the East coast. Add in that they were depleted by injuries on defense and I really can't take even one positive out of that game. If the Giants had any type of pulse, they win that game. If the Cardinals run that same team out there the rest of the year they will win 5 games max.
I can see us maybe 2-5 by the bye....and then losing the next three games, to 2-8.....
Then possibly going 3-3......5-11....
However, if we see progress in this offense by the end of the season, and if we see OBj some how get on the field and have an impact, that 5-11 record will actually be better than the 7-9 record of last year, which was an illusion created by playing against backups.....if we can be competitive in those last 6 games, there's some hope for next year......there wasn't any hope after last year.....
Also you can knock Drew Stanton the "name". But he played well on Sunday. No one is going to him as a starting QB but he's not some disaster back up like Painter or someone and he made good throws.
Eli & Donnell alone should be mildly encouraging for fans. Hankins, too.
Optimistic for some here but we're only going into week 3. We'll see what happens.
Believe it and it will happen!
now watch cousins get hurt and we will get whoever the hell is left in washington twice this year. That would be so typical of recent history.
I said "at best"... at fantasy, 14-2...at reality, probably 5-11
