It's ok to take positives away from game 2.....

We will probably have another really high draft pick next year.

That's all I got. Anything else?
it

wasn't a home loss.
Well

Engram didnt drop any balls this week.
Shepard found out catching the ball with your facemask isnt a good idea.
Eli didnt throw an INT (did have a fumble)
Rosas is on pace to make 32 FGs this year without a miss...
I'll be drinking more

During Giants games & hopefully blackout, thus not remembering anything.
They got some more frequent flyer miles, which is nice?

Eli  
pjcas18 : 9/17/2018 9:47 am : link
is automatic on QB sneaks (when there is a real running back in the backfield).

Who knew?

And at least the Giants don't have the kicking woes of the Browns or Vikings.

Sure, they haven't had many opportunities, but it sucks losing because of a kicker.
The giants give me a headache

Rosas looks like he’s turned into a very solid

kicker.

And Saquon had the most amazing 28 yards I’ve ever seen. Probably broke a dozen tackles to gain that much.
Finally contained Witten.

We still have a team that leads the league in apparel sales?

We'll continue the trend towards 1PM game starts?

We may not have a good offensive line, but gosh darn it, we have Hog Mollies!
I'm positive we suck

Well I guess its a sign, when ever you have someone in the organization who has to come up with a stupid self promoting tag line, you know he's gonna suck.....

dropped a pass yet?
Eli Apple  
jtfuoco : 9/17/2018 10:45 am : link
last looked good in back to back games I though for sure he was going to be another draft bust.

Barkley looks like the reincarnation of Barry Sanders so that will be fun watch over the next 5-7 years

Collins is showing us just at the right time that he is not worth spending big money on.
+ is your reprise

Dave in Hoboken : 9/17/2018 10:54 am : link

So, they got that going for them. Fashion conscious!

Hey I like the 1 pm starts lol
here is a positive  
cjac : 9/17/2018 1:42 pm : link
All of the other teams that will be picking in the top 5 next year, already have young QBs that they drafted this year
We still have super explosive skill position players

!!
The biggest "takeaway" I have gotten from the first two games of the  
bradshaw44 : 9/17/2018 2:09 pm : link
season, honestly, is my ability to officially let go of my belief that we can turn the ship around with Eli at the helm. I was genuinely hopeful that we could get the OL to a position of adequate functionality that Eli could work with to make the team competitive. I was/am convinced that Eli could lead this team to the promised land with a halfway decent OL. Which is entirely possible (with another team that already has an stout OL), but the Giants aren't in a position to provide Eli with a semi-functional OL. By the time the Giants can field even a mediocre OL Eli's contract will have expired.


So basically I take this as a depressing positive because I can finally move on from Eli and accept the team with another QB at the helm for the first time in 14 years. So bring on the future NYG. Hopefully it's not a decade of searching for the next QB!
without a ton of scoring  
pjcas18 : 9/17/2018 2:09 pm : link
or penalties, it seemed like the game got over quickly.
At least  
Mike from SI : 9/17/2018 2:47 pm : link
no one retired at halftime?
I went to bed earlier than I might of if the Giants had won  
gidiefor : Mod : 9/17/2018 2:49 pm : link
or were winning. I had to just shut the damn thing off and couldn't watch anymore

It was every bit as brutal as most of the games last year.
I wanted to post that we are getting the number #2  
gidiefor : Mod : 9/17/2018 2:50 pm : link
pick again next year -- but I restrained myself
1.5 positives...  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 9/17/2018 2:53 pm : link
- The kicker looks like he might not suck.

- Eli Apple played well again, but of course, he got hurt so that's only half a positive.

(Unscored positive) - Neither Odell or Saquon sustained a career-threatening injury, so there's that.
