Thursday night is the season

UESBLUE : 10/8/2018 8:00 am
Our record and the opponent make this a true must win. If we have ANY chance left due to crappy division etc it all comes down to this game imo.
And the game will be played ...

In pouring rain ...
Still early in the season,  
Doomster : 10/8/2018 8:13 am : link
but until the Giants can clean up their act(too many mistakes made), they are a team that invents ways to lose....

Eli's throws were high to start the game.....only some great catches by OBj negated that..

only a jillian missed tackles on the drive of the Panther's first td.

4th down drop by OBj

then the fiasco of the screwed up punt that gave Panthers a td

Eli's miss of Ellison on 3rd down


Score a td, and Rosas kicks out of bounds giving Panthers field position, which led to a fg.

Newton fumbles, and we recover out of bounds....Ball to Panthers....

OBj gets stripped of a td pass

Offsides on a punt attempt?

Eli throws an int in fg range on first down...

It just seemed, everytime we scored to make it closer, the Panthers would come right back and score on this defense....

How do you leave McCaffrey all alone for a td?

Eli throws another int

0-7 on 3rd downs

You can't make all these mistakes, and expect to win......
Thursday Night may get ugly  
BigBlueShock : 10/8/2018 8:21 am : link
The Giants used an excessive amount of energy this week, dealing with the drama and then going balls to the wall in the game to only come up short. It is going to be extremely difficult for this team to bounce back that quickly, mentally and physically. And the Eagles coming off another loss are going to be extremely motivated.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up for this one.
Eagles aren’t good

Wentz looks extremely average right now.

you can also say eagles used a ton of energy in a loss and they have to travel, giants get that extra day of rest and hopefully have vernon back...
This season is about growing pains

I know you say this, but with a 37 year old QB I just don’t buy it. The Jets are going through growing pains, this is a veteran team.
What?

Wentz looks extremely average right now.


24/25 311 yards 2 tds 0 ints

And they have a guy called Ertz.....

Phelan did a number on the Eagle defense, OBj should also, if Eli has the time...

Top to bottom as a whole, it's really not. If they view it as a veteran team, then their wakeup call is in progress.
misleading  
Banks : 10/8/2018 9:09 am : link
Wentz threw for about 200 yards in the last 20 min of the game down 20-3 and got lucky he wasn't picked a couple times. The last drive the vikes just let them have it because the game was already decided.
Wentz is still plenty good  
Dave in PA : 10/8/2018 9:14 am : link
He was not and is not a one trick (scrambling) pony. He still has a big arm and pretty nice touch. He’s still able to elude rushers in the pocket. If you head into Thursday think Carson Wentz is a shell of his former self then it’s going to be a really disheartening experience. The Giants need to view him as the MVP caliber weapon he was last year and dial up an extra gear that may or may not exist

.

and furthermore, they tend to own the Giants,
just saying. I think the season is over already.
Yesterday was the 'dagger'.

New systems a lot of new players=Growing pains
Statistically, starting 0-2 was the season.

Now it’s only about draft position.

Wentz isn't the problem for the Eagles.

Their major issue they aren't running the ball effectively like they did last year.

Wasn't uncommon for them to roll up 150+ yards on the opposing team......and that really opened things up for Wentz.

Currently, they are trying to ride his arm - and while he's doing fine - he's also taking hits and missing some throws like any QB.
I'm not focused on the playoff anymore  
ron mexico : 10/8/2018 12:03 pm : link
I just want to see them start to play better and have something to build on for 2019. If they back door into the playoffs, great but its not why I'm watching.

Contrary to popular opinion, I rather have this team end up with 6-7 wins than another 3 season win. It will show that there is more to build on going forward.
