i know losing would be better for the team longterm  
George from PA : 11/5/2017 8:38 am : link
but i just can not root for a loss.

I want a good "complementary" team effort.
even fall foliage  
sundayatone : 11/5/2017 9:02 am : link
has been a big loser this season.
I have the Rams D  
ZogZerg : 11/5/2017 9:03 am : link
I think I win either way unless Giants lose in a shootout - LOL
we are due  
well...bye TC : 11/5/2017 9:06 am : link
for an embarassing home blowout...
Expect a long day for Eli Apple guarding Sammy Watkins.  
Diver_Down : 11/5/2017 9:11 am : link
And a career day for Gurley. I hope our OL offers up some resistance to Donald. Give Eli at least a couple of seconds to chuck and duck.
Could be an ugly one  
Sammo85 : 11/5/2017 9:18 am : link
Bad uneven matchups on both sides of the ball. This one could turn into
a blowout.

Fall back ....  
Bluesbreaker : 11/5/2017 9:30 am : link
No love lost between these two I expect them to give a good effort I just don't think the offense can do enough even with a mistake turnover free game form us the defense will wear down I can see us getting beat over the top early .
The Rams can and will score we won't be able to match .
Just hope Eli doesn't get killed . It could get ugly and be
easy Ram victory say 31-10 or coming off the bye desperate
to save face they can pull off an upset .
I just don't see it . The Jack Rabbit suspension to me says a lot about how this team feels about MacHandley JJ is a great player humble and not a guy I would consider a shit starter .
meh...

BBI'S fav Aaron Donald may have a fun day today.

otherwise, not a riviting game
Shades of the last game of the 1970 season...  
Blue Angel : 11/5/2017 10:14 am : link
If the Giants had won that game against the Rams they would have gone to the playoffs but they lost 35 to 0.....I wonder if anyone remembers that game.

Indeed he might, my prediction for the game itself,
24-13 Rams.

I hope the weather doesn't fit the mood today.
Predictions....  
Jimmy Googs : 11/5/2017 10:22 am : link
- Eli will continue to throw 4 yard passes on 3rd and 6
- Giants will give up a special team touchdown
- Bobby Hart will struggle
- The Rams have the least productive TEs in the NFL in the passing game, but will still score a touchdown

you all may have others...

I saw some pics of the parking lot from 20 minutes ago and its 3/4 empty. Lots are usually full by now. Sad times. I really hope Mara is paying attention.
hate to say it

I always start opposing teams TEs in fantasy against us. And majority of the time it pays off.
Yep, I start the opposing TE or put him in as flex

Haha, pretty much nailed. I'll add:

-Eli Apple gets called for multiple holding/pass interference calls
-The Giants stay in the game long enough to keep us semi interested until our punter boots a 15 yard punt in the 4th quarter
-Followed by our $200 million defense giving up a late drive to seal the game

I was there also. I saw Jerry Shay a few months. Looked like he was still limping.
This game is a real dog...  
trueblueinpw : 11/5/2017 12:08 pm : link
Cant really find much to care about in this game. We can pray that Eli doesnt get injured and hope that EE and Shep catch some passes for TDs. Go Big Blue.
a lot to focus on for the future today-  
hitdog42 : 11/5/2017 12:09 pm : link
Everyone wants to be a downer... but i will be looking for answers for the future... and there is a lot to watch (For better and for worse).

- Trio on the OL... Flowers, Fluker, and Jones. does the steady improvement continue? if 2 of the 3 prove worthy of being paired with a resigned Pugh... the OL can be in OK shape heading into the offseason.

- TEs- Can Engram continue to blossom with the opponents focusing on him? Will the offensive staff use the 2 TE sets properly and get the other guys in?

- Shepherd is back... how does he look without OBJ out there?

A lot of potential offensive progress depends on the coaches actually treating these guys like NFL players and calling plays that give the team a shot instead of crying uncle and playing not to get blown out from the opening snap.

Defensively....
- Development of Tomlinson
- can Avery Moss continue to be a bright spot?
- Eli Apple's progression
- is next years starting free safety on the team?

If we can slowly get answers to some of these questions... the games will prove meaningful for the 2018 Giants.

I can't believe I actually got up for this impending disaster.

The game's on at 0300 over here.

Go Giants?
It kills me.....  
Tom [Giants fan] : 11/5/2017 12:43 pm : link
that I picked the Rams in my Survivor Pool. Hate that I have to root against the Giants today but the size of the pool leaves it an easy choice.
Well,  
AcidTest : 11/5/2017 12:59 pm : link
at least it's a chance for some of the young players like Moss to show something. But I think the Rams DL will overwhelm our depleted OL. Eli could really be hammered today.
