I realize BBI’s not quite ready for the Texans, but 0-2?

Big Blue '56 : 9/17/2018 8:31 pm
We know stats are not the end-all, but just looking at their box score, how did they lose to a Mariota-less Titans team?

Watson threw for over 300, ran for over 40, Miller rushed for around 70 and two of their wideouts amassed over 100 each.

Even if we were 2-0, I would not be all that confident about a win..I guess I’ll know more after I watch them on Game Pass.. But, kinda puzzling to me.

Annihilate us. I'll be at buddy's in Atlanta. I told him to stock up beer wise. I'm going to need it.

Skip the beer. Seriously. Go straight to scotch.
My Monday prediction regarding Sunday in Houston:

We don’t score an offensive TD.
Watson was under constant pressure early.  
Diver_Down : 9/17/2018 8:45 pm : link
Also, Vrabel didn't coach scared. Check the fake punt. Also, Blaine who no one will confuse with Brady actually had some nice passes. Also, the Texans were without Clowney so Watt had double teams and getting chipped every play.
Let's just hope  
mrvax : 9/17/2018 8:45 pm : link
that Eli comes back home unharmed.
There's no way this team beats the Texans.

Until OL can play professional football

Theres no game. Until further notice
And despite the stat line on Watson,  
Diver_Down : 9/17/2018 8:46 pm : link
he looked like a rookie with plenty of mistakes.
Titans  
pjcas18 : 9/17/2018 8:46 pm : link
had a fake punt go for a long TD, so you know the Giants won't do that.

Watson threw a pick and lost two fumbles.

that was really the game, the TO's and the trick play.

Texans moved the ball and the Titans really didn't move the ball, but the Titans OL is night and day compared with the Giants. It could be a long day.

Will be arrested for manslaughter by halftime, and DeShaun Watson will run for 745 yards. By halftime.
Titans won without  
Bill in TN : 9/17/2018 8:50 pm : link
starting QB, 2 all-pro OTs, 3rd OT, and TE.
Gabbert and some out-of-the box play calling got the job done.
Houston is far from an NFL dynasty.
Titans  
Sammo85 : 9/17/2018 8:55 pm : link
are actually building a solid roster. They have a football team.

Right now the Giants aren’t.
I already have Watson and Hopkins

Penciled in as my two main starters on my FanDuel and DraftKings squads. They are going to light us up like the Fourth of July.
We  
AcidTest : 9/17/2018 9:10 pm : link
can't block, and have a completely immobile QB. It's also an away game against an 0-2 team that has J.J. Watt.
Watson's pick  
Doomster : 9/17/2018 9:11 pm : link
was a great play by the corner, who took it away from Hopkins in the end zone....
How is it possible that your mega million dollar wr catches 4 passes  
SterlingArcher : 9/17/2018 9:24 pm : link
and your rb catches 11?
Hmmmm  
George : 9/17/2018 9:35 pm : link
Houston has one of the league’s best DLs.
We have maybe the league’s worst OL.

What could possibly go wrong?
JJ Watt  
djm : 9/17/2018 9:43 pm : link
Clowney and the rest oh my god... dead.

I agree. Only question is how many points our offense gives their defense directly or igives thei offense on non-TD turnovers.

We haven't given up more than 20 points.

But please do pick up any D playing against us every week. Guaranteed not to give up more than 15!

Maybe if Jack Rabbit doesn't give up big plays in the 1st series, they don't score 20...two games in a row burned early by nobodies...

We have faced two pedestrian QBs. Watson has more big play ability then both the last two QBs. They also have a top 5 receiver. I stand by my pick.
JJ Watt  
Mike from Ohio : 9/18/2018 8:39 am : link
is going to win comeback player of the year based on this game alone. He may have 7 sacks. More if he plays the second half when the game is safely out of reach.

Hopefully someone on the Giants coaching staff is showing the line youtube videos of stunts so they will at least know what they are this week.
Watson is still holding the ball  
jeff57 : 9/18/2018 8:41 am : link
Looking to make that final pass.
If Watt, Clowney and Mercellus  
jeff57 : 9/18/2018 8:42 am : link
are all playing. It won't be pretty.

The biggest reason for optimism is that Bill "It's Not My Job" O'Brien is coaching the opposition.

I'll be there in Houston and I echo your sentiment.

Game will look like it's close in the first half. Offensive game plan will be "simplified" to include many quick screens and slants (sounds like last years offense?) to negate the pass rush. Running the ball will be painful.

Sometime early in the 3rd quarter, turnovers and a big play will happen, and the score will be 27-10 for Houston.
until this offense  
GiantGrit : 9/18/2018 3:15 pm : link
has a consistent ground game, we will continue to struggle. This line NEEDS the element of surprise, aka manageable down and distance where you have no idea what is coming. 3rd and long against the pass rushers we are about to face is beyond worrisome. Stunts, exotic blitzes...everything this line cannot handle is going to be thrown at them.

Run the ball well, you open up the playbook, allow Eli to work in some play action (IMO he looks his best when under center, i loved the PA bootlegs from week 1), burn secondaries with our weapons. Oh yeah, you keep your defense fresh as well (when was the last time we did that)

Gettleman said it himself. you need to be able to run the ball.
