I know the first game of the season sucked scissors, but I just don't believe that with all the steady strides this team has shown, that it could flush itself down the tubes as the whole team starts playing together. I believe they are going to get it right and that this year's iteration of the Giants will keep improving.
Go Giants!
No.
This I am enthusiastic about.
As we saw in 2007 when the Giants were beaten handedly by the Cowboys and Packers to start the season only to go on to a SB.
The next two weeks will decide what this team is made of.
After Sunday it would be hard to not improve at least marginally
I would like to think so, but I just don't trust Mara to make the right decision.

Well there's that. If the wheels fall off though I don't see how he sells the fans on more of the same. MetLife will be filled with opposing team fans
Even if we beat Taylor Heineke on a short week it's fools gold -- we aren't good.
I hope the Raiders blow this game
Lol we were 7-3 going in to that game. We have won 7 games ONCE in a season in the past 7 years. The concern was ELI. The team was stacked and the question was whether he was a true #1. Now we have that same (QB) concern and a terrible roster with a comically inept OC . Comparing the two is like apples and hand grenades.
It’s so predictable and depressing
Id rather believe in the team and enjoy the games as they come.

You enjoyed yesterday?
Someone, don’t remember who, posted the same thing to me back in 2011, about the Giants that season.
However, I m not saying you re wrong this time. I will state however, while it s difficult to see past the most recent performance of any team, sometimes that team by the end of the year is so much better than anyone could have imagined.
That was my first reaction too. What strides? It was the same old shit just some different players.

And sometimes shit remains shit all season.
If it makes people feel better to "believe" that's fine, but there's nothing wrong with saying I'll believe it when I see it. And we haven't seen it around here for a long time.
EPT***
I hope JG can call some more creative plays/routes, however. Would love to have somehow been able to retain Shurmur as the OC when Judge took over...
Well done
You're eating maggots Michael, how do they taste?
I'm also not expecting 0-5 (we had a lot of things going against us last yr that aren't this yr), but I believe it's a reason for optimism to remember that after that horrible start last year, we went 6-5 the rest of the year (including a close loss to eventual champs) and 5-3 in the last 8. I believe that shows that Judge and staff didn't lose the team and they continued to improve.
We have more talent and experience than last yr. Hopefully the D plays like we expect and the O doesn't wait until the 2nd half to get Golladay involved and in about 13 days, we'll be 2-1. Then we can put week 1 in the rearview mirror.
you are basing this off of one game where most of the weapons this was their first game on the field...
I expect more of a Fassel - Sean Payton situation, i.e., Fassel didn't fire Payton.
Garrett is no Columbo and out of respect for him (and Mara), I don't expect Garrett to be fired, but I can see the play calling duties being transferred to Kitchens and Garrett being re-assigned to another position (even if one is made up and then he moves on after the season). This would cause much less drama and hurt feelings.

I doubt they will always be as bad as they were last week, but can I say with a straight face that this team has a chance to win the the division? Injuries aside, I have a hard time envisioning them pulling that off, outside of some unexpected collapse from others. We are a clear 4th in the running, IMO.

You people never run out of excuses. Now it's that they didn't have enough time together in the preseason. And in a month when Shepard and/or Golladay miss time with an injury there will be that excuse. Then when they come back there will be rust. Then they'll put it together offensively for 1-2 games late in the season and you'll all say the arrow is pointing up for next year, thus continuing the cycle.

I mean, in fairness SB hadn't played a game in 12 months, Golladay missed the last 11 games (?) of last year, Rudolph couldn't do much over the summer due to the surgery, Toney is brand new to the NFL and wasn't able to do much over summer. I do think it's understandable that they'd need a game or 2 to start to come together. Golladay even said as much a week or 2, that the offense may start slowly due to all of the above.
