Please, will some of us stop over reacting to one game. Oh my gosh, please calm down. I have a feeling that many of the "complainers" either 1- had money on the game or 2 - it affected your fantasy league or 3- cant appreciate five Super Bowl appearances and four Super Bowl wins.
Talk about jumping ship... WOW
So any complaining is on the coach and GM.
None of that is to say, however, that Eli isn't getting old and more skittish or that the OL doesn't suck terribly.
All of that said, this team went 11-5 last year and is not all of a sudden a 5-win team with the same personnel (and even better at some positions). They will rise to about where they should be, which is a 9-11 win team. Let's see how they adjust this week in practice and how they play against a dome team in front of a home crowd.
FYI our offense wasn't hot garbage the first game of 1990. We actually played a very good game against a very good Eagles Defense
Last night we got our answer. Nothing has changed.
We lose: Fire Macadoo! Cut Eli! Fire Reese! Burn down the stadium!!!

Mike from SI : 2:19 pm : link : reply
but last night was a complete embarrassment on offense for reasons that every analyst and fan have been pointing out for the better part of two seasons. I haven't been that embarrassed by the on-the-field product, versus expectations, in a while. I hope the offense is as embarrassed as I am."
They are typically gasbags whos job it is to stir up ratings, not anything else. Dont pay attention to Al "DWI" Michaels, Frontrunner Colinsworth, or Norman Esiason. They have an audience to play to.

Concerns aren't that we lost the game and we need to fire everyone.. Its that in the last 7 meaningful games we have yet to score 20 points.. when the rest of the world was talking about fixing the OL, our GM focused on getting pass catchers.. Some of us see things getting worse and we just want to get our frustration out there..
Con: Stafford isn't going to be wearing a splint on his passing hand. Detroit should be able to score on the Giants.
Watching the Eagles yesterday slap around a talented Redskin oline, there is a sense of impending doom for game 3.
0-3 ? Three losses against NFC teams who will be playoff contenders. 0-2 in the division. That might wreck them.
I think they will be 1-2 after 3. Same as last season. The difference is the schedule won't be favorable like it was last season. McAdoo got a huge gift last year.
It's nuts to give up after 1 game. I know that . Beckham is going to play. I say jump start it by letting Sully call the plays. Manning trusts Sullivan more than McAdoo.

Exactly, and some of us were voicing our concerns even while winning last season. The writing was on the wall, then.
I think we should contemplate going with a full on power running attack with Darkwa in the backfield, Jones and Fluker at RG/RT, and Sully taking over the playcalling.
Not sure if I'm 100% correct about this, but didn't Sully call the last 2 preseason games? The two games we had offense.
My goal for the season is to see the Giants win games and be able to compete offensively.
It's extremely disheartening.
And this wasn't against the 86 Bears last night. This whole unit needed to be revamped. Instead they ignored the problem and brought back the same group. If anything they got worse.

He didn't call the whole of the two games but parts. The parts when the O looked competent. The mix of plays were a lot better imo. HC needs to be a HC and give up the play calling.
With all these weapons, if I told you BEFORE THE GAME STARTED, that it would take this offense 32 minutes, to pass it's own 35 yard line, would anyone have believed me?
Does anyone really think we would have won even if we had OBJ last night?
Get a QB with wheels not a pocket passer who needs a solid run game and pass protection .
The offense only scored 3 points, but they won 4 Super Bowls! Let's celebrate! Wooooooo hoooooo.
Yeah for me it was not since the 2009 season when we started 5-0 and next game came to New Orleans and had our doors blown off.
Points. New season yes. Same issues.
The only thing worse than McAdoo's shitty offense game after
Game are the inane comments made by people who seem to enjoy shitty offensive football.
But better this performance game 1 than game 15 or so.
Still, that NO-line needs help.

Dude. Most posters here think Sully IS the, or a large part of the problem....
That's a very interesting thought. I think I could get behind it. We need to try something different! I like the idea of going power on O. We have the personnel, Mac is in charge of course, so he is free and welcome to improve whatever Sully comes up with.
