Predict Giants v Falcons score

NYG: 36
ATL: 20

ATL rallies a bit late. ATL isn’t good, a loss to them and heads should roll.

have a way of making us all look stupid.

Giants 13
Falcons 9

Despite the loss, Eli has a nice ceremony. Gettleman & Abrams are both relieved of their duties Monday morning.

Falcons...

oline today. They have three first round picks and two third round picks that start. The oldest is LT Jake Matthews. Obviously they have invested a lot of draft capital to protect Ryan. But, frankly, they are a lot better on paper than on the field.

So I think this is going to be the game we get a lot of pressure and dominate the LOS. And that's going to lead to turnovers that go our way...

Meanwhile, ATL's is giving up 40ppg over the first two weeks. Ugly.

Giants win by nine. 33-24.

I thought DEN would be close and @WAS wouldn't so

14-14 tie

That would be sweet.
(the Dave and Abrams part)

If they can't beat the Falcons, they may as well just forfeit the season.

Falcons 31
Giants 24 (with 2 late scores)

I mean if that's the final score that's what should happen on Monday

Return of the Turnover Machine.
Chant of “Bring back Eli” breaks out after halftime.

I pretty sincerely thought the Giants would wreck WFT and a scrub QB.

Ryan is savvy. 30-10 Atlanta.

Giants team.

Giants win 28-10

pure dominance

If there is one team that I can say has a clearly shittier roster, it's the falcons. They have no o-line, back (Davis sucks despite his 2 nice games early last year), a diminished receiving corps, and a defense that is weak across the board. Ryan and Ridley aren't winning this game themselves. Pitts should hurt us, but he hasn't exactly dominated in this very early season. I'm sure he will in the future, but he isn't there yet. I think the giants play a bully against the one team they can.

We smoke ATL, 38-17.

How many guys on the current roster played with Eli? And will he inspire guys who didn't play with him? I fear that the crowd will be pumped, but they'll turn on the team if things don't go well.

I hope you're right, though. I'd love to see us win big.

Giants 30

The Falcons are really bad, and their coach looks lost.

If the Giants lose this one they may be in the mix for the #1 pick. It would be horrific.

but I suggest you watch the Bucs/Falcons highlights from last Sunday.

That game was close until about 7 minutes to go.

Regardless, Giants cannot lose this game.

Yes, they're a professional football team. But the Giants won games like this last year. They mostly beat teams they should beat. I really did not think the Giants would beat Denver. And I thought Washington was a coin flip, which it was. I will be stunned if we don't beat Atlanta convincingly.

I was going to predict a close, high scoring, Giants win. However, if this is even a slight possibility, I'll go with this!

Time to man up.

Can't help but remember Simms's...

Giants 19

Falcons 14

Falcons 28. Giants always lose when they honor someone.

How any Giants fan can write blowout win or dominate is beyond me.

Atl 23
NY 20

23-20.

The game shouldn't have been close though. I watched some of it and the Bucs made easy work early but then let off the gas.

Go back to the 1pm game thread and I called Gronk playing well against the Falcons who are BASD against TE's. If EE plays and is healthy this could be his breakout game, which opens up KG, SS and maybe even KT for some big play opportunities.

More of the same on defense. The blueprint was established over the first two weeks. Atlanta just follows it, we keep trying to bang the square peg in the round hole. Falcons, 30-17.

We get better this week.

Falcons 17

If they are losing big in the 4th quarter, I could very well envision chants of "We Want Eli!" happening:)

I expect a blowout. This team's confidence already seems gone. If it is close I think that Giants win. Question is whether Giants can run the ball to keep it away from Ryan and whether the Giants DBs are allowed to play within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. Best guess: ATL. 31 NYG 23

31-24 good guys

If Graham continues with the soft zone no blitz approach Ryan will shred our defense . A few bad calls, a couple of drops, a turnover, and Giants lose again.

NYG 16

They play better week 4 but lose that one too, a la at Rams last year. And the wheel goes round.

.....

and for half the game vs Bucs too. No running game, small non-physical defense.

This is the game where the Falcons are just what the doctor ordered for the Giants, OR vice versa.

Right now, I don't trust the NYG defense vs a smart, accurate QB and a desperate football team trying to avoid 0-3. Which Giants football team shows up??

34-31 Giants

has too much experience, despite skills deteriorating.

Falcons win 31-20

GIANTS 31
FALCONS 21

Right now, hence the Giants win. Things were going great for me until about this past Sunday, it's fool proof. I was married to a terd and we won two Super Bowls, I found an amazing woman, in 2017...I apologize.

Giants 27
Falcons 20

27-13 against a lousy team.

BBI is lulled into false optimism after the Atlanta win only to see the Gmen lose 4 straight afterwards. Chaos ensues.

If they find a way to lose this one at home against a bad opponent on Eli Manning day...I don't even want to think about it. They are winning this one!!

...

Falcons win time of possession.

24-21.

DJ has another strong game. Golladay [100 yards] and Barkley [100 yards total from scrimage] have their best games. Toney even throws in 35 yards. The defense has a halfway decent game.

28-27 for the G-Men, otherwise...

I could optimistically go with a number favoring the Giants. But I'm also extremely gun-shy regarding this team. The loss last Thursday night, my son and I knew in the third quarter how it would go. When they "won" the game, neither of us reacted. Just stared at the TV for a few seconds as if some gut thing told us what was coming ... then it did. Again, no reaction other than my laughter. He's much younger so he had no laughter for what we'd just witnessed.

I really have no idea what to expect or even hope for from this football team, these coaches, this ownership.

I'm not one of those people who's going to not watch or give up on a team I've watched, lived and died with now for about 47 years.

But for the first time I feel in a limbo state with the Giants. I just don't know what this weekend's game might bring.
