Odell Beckham was a monster. He is 100% back. He did it all. Possession receiver and home run threat. He had 11 catches for over 100 yds plus he drew 2 long pass interferences that he roasted his coverage and Eli missed him on 2 long tD passes that he torched his defenders.
He easily could have had a 13-15 catch day for over 200+ yards and 2-3 TDs with throws on the money and the Defenders not interfering.
On the Jags.
On Jalen Ramsey.
He was spectacular.
Eli missed a 33 yard TD
He had 11 for 111
That really should have been 14 rec for 189 yds and 2 TD
Thats the kind of day he really had
That’s a novel idea. Send this to Eli and Shurmur
That's all we have for now. Unless, Erick Flowers...
Yeah there was at least a minor bump there which caused the incompletion more than the throw.
The Redskins won, but they're perennially terrible, so prove over the full season and until then they're a non-factor.
The Cowboys sucked.
The Eagles didn't play well and barely came away with a win.
We need a few more weeks to see what this 2018 team really is, but if a few things go our way, we can be competitive this year.
I got arrogant eagle fans telling me we won’t win more than 6 because of our offensive line.
And they think our D sucks.
I have Jet fans telling me we should have taken Darnold
I just want the Giants to be good again. I’m fucking sick of this
You don't know that after 1 game. The positive to take away was that he showed his potential, but the runs before that certainly didn't do him any favors.
get this offense down but to also get there timing back .
The Biggest concern is still the O-line .
Somehow they have to get Flower's some help or find a replacement . I know next too impossible but They may have no choice but to make a move .Even if it takes giving up a pick.
Flowers is either going to play better or it's gonna be along season .
Eli missed a 33 yard TD
If you watch that play again, you’ll see the Eli didn’t miss Odell....Odell was bumped by the safety. It should have been a PI call

after watching players like ki-jana carter, todd marinovich, blair thomas, tony mandarich, ryan leaf and a host of others highly touted players getting drafted high and being complete busts, we know Saquon Barkley is NOT a bust. He is the real deal. And that is great.

You’re nuts. He’s a beast.

Barkley had defenders in his face the moment he got the handoff on almost every single one of his runs. He scratched out over 100 yards anyway.

that everyone said Eli missed would have been a TD except for an IC from Church at the 10 yd line!

People won't listen to that, or watch it.
This was a home loss, setting up an 0-1 start with games at Dallas and Houston. It could get late early here.
With Terps, it s the friggen NFL, tired of looking for positives in losses.
Made Giants have to line up head-to-head in red zone, and sure enough with our shitty Oline it worked fine as we kicked FGs.
Victory Jacksonville...

The guy had 128 yards on 20 touches in his FIRST NFL game... all while nursing a hamstring. I will take that every week.

While missing all of preseason and going against a l33t D with numerous all pros and absolutely no weaknesses.
And Flowers.
The timely and quality pressure / pick int on D, some of the barkely, Beck's stuff...
Off the major injury, playing against live fire for the first time in almost a year, and playing against a supposed reincarnation of Deion Sanders, OBJ was brilliant.
And it would have been better if Eli was more up to the task...
Yep, and until the OL gets it going so a consistent run game is established, the offense will still be stopped by basic zone looks.
