Desperate teams are dangerous teams, right

At least that is a mantra often repeated. I ve heard more than once how you have to be wary of teams coming off a big loss. A long week of coaches, fans and media criticism can really get a team focused

Well the Giants are desperate for a win Monday, unless you think going into Philly at 0-2 is no big deal.

I think Monday Night will be very revealing for this team going forward.

Hard to believe with all the optimism going into the season , that it already feels like a crises in week two.

But many here kept warning of the elephant in the room, and many, me included, just didn t want to believe that the offensive line wouldn't be better.

Reese wouldn't allow such a problem to go unaddressed if there wasn't good evidence that it was going to be better, would he!
I've been thinking the same thing - I would bet the Giants

After the embarrassment on national TV, and yes its embarrassing scoring only 3 points in front of the whole nation, and hearing from the press and fans all week, I think they will come out with a vengeance. I expect the defense to be flying around the field, and the offense better be much improved.

Remember we beat this team easily just 4 regular season games ago, they're not that good. If we come out and play well it could set the season in motion. Conversely if they come out and the offense sucks again, its going to be a long season. If there was ever a game to be ready for this is it.
Q: How do team get desperate?

A: They lose.
Detroit

will not run the ball, so we just need to get after Stafford.
I think we will be fired up for this one.
Can the Giants hold Detroit to under 6 points?

If so, I think we win. :)

They held them to 6 last season, so its right in our wheel house :)
Eli's recent performance reminded me of richard

Todd last season with the jets, just seemed shellshocked
How about a 9-6 final score then  
Carson53 : 9/14/2017 11:58 am : link
Rosas at the final gun for the winner.

This offense better wake up, and that starts upfront!
Detroit won 8 games in the 4th Qtr. last year,
and were behind in the first half last week.
Good teams are dangerous teams...

Clevelend has been desperate for how long? How dangerous have they been to the rest of the league?
When your offense is broken

If you don't score points any team can beat you. I do not expect to see this offense magically put up 30 points anytime soon. The Lions defense is better than Dallas and Matt Stafford is more elite than Eli and Dak Prescott so I expect a very tough game especially if OBJ sits this one out.

Good point. And that s the point I was trying to make. If the Giants can t win this week, it s pretty revealing

Exactly
Our offense even with OBJ has sucked...  
EricJ : 9/14/2017 2:19 pm : link
over the last 10 games. We cannot score... period.

So now let's step back from it all and look at it as an owner. We know we have a problem. What is the root of that problem? Is it the coaching? The offensive line? Our QB? Whatever it is, we have to identify it and fix it.

When you look at the off season moves, they really did not do much at all to fix the offense. They got Brandon Marshall who BBI said was finished after watching the last game. We got a TE... that's it. Those two parts were supposed to take us from the 26th ranked offense to top 3rd?

We have not been able to run the ball in years. How did we fix that this off season?

Based on last week's game, you're right that we didn't look better. BUT we added Brandon Marshall, Evan Engram, Rhett Ellison, and Shane Smith, and last year's tight end didn't even make the team. If OBJ had been healthy on Sunday, we would have scored at least another 10 points, somehow.
Desperate at 0-1?  
Doomster : 9/14/2017 9:13 pm : link
No, you become desperate if you are 0-2 going into Philly....
