Giants Pre-Season Chatter: Will You Be Correct?

Beezer : 9/3/2015 4:02 pm
I often read through threads and see an assertion made, with condifence. Some, I can see. Others are more far-fetched.

I sometimes wonder if they'll come to frution, or fall flat.

Not that this is a prediction or assertion thread. (The best prediction might be that my attempts to glean said assertions falls flat and by season's end, I completely forget what the hell I said in September. It happens at my age.)

But Fats' assertion ...

Quote:
if we give up 16 points to every team this year, we'll easily be in the playoffs.


... spurred me to log away some of these random notes, and for the hell of it, maybe later come back to see if they were spot-on? Or completely off.

So watch what you say, peeps ... gonna hold you to it.
I'd we score more points then we give up

We will win more games then we lose.


this is just an attempt

to one-up T-Bone. I'm in.

Quinn will not be here next year.
not a very bold assertion

Only one team allowed less than 16 ppg last season - the Seahawks at 15.9.
I hope I am wrong about my 6-10 forecast  
Victor in CT : 9/3/2015 4:21 pm : link
I thought they had a chance at 8-8 until the safeties started dropping like flies, Beason hurt (again), right side of the OL still in flux. I dropped my expectation accordingly. But again, I hope I am wrong.
4th Quarter is key to season

Lets say We will have three games won by the 4th quarter and three lost. That leaves 10 games where both teams have a realistic chance to win the game in the 4th quarter. We need 6 or 7 to make the playoffs. Can Eli recapture the magic? Can our defense make the key stop?

Talk all you want - but there it is.

Fats Domino?
Maybe we can something going in the first quarter of games this year  
Bold Ruler : Mod : 9/3/2015 4:35 pm : link
Our opening 15 minutes on offense is so damn flat. If we can get the tempo going and score points early it will help our defense.

Tru dat! Would love to get off to a good start.

The reality is that the majority of our games are close and we haven't been making the plays or getting the key stops in the last 4 years.

Would keep his foot on the gas & stop forcing the run when it's not there in the 2nd 1/2, we'd be in much better shape.

Sounds like a productive use of time.
