I have been hard on the Giants, Jones and Gettleman. But even I am surprised by the pessimism I am seeing here. I think the Giants are going to beat the Falcons soundly. These are two teams going in opposite directions. The Giants are mid-rebuild, whether they have all the right pieces or not, they are young and have a lot of new talent.
The Falcons on the other hand are just starting to put it back together and their best new piece is a TE who hasn't figured it out yet.
I think the Giants roll here, maybe the Falcons add a TD at the end to make it seem closer than it really is.
Giants 31 Falcons 17
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
Falcons win 31-20
FALCONS 21
Giants 27
Falcons 20
BBI is lulled into false optimism after the Atlanta win only to see the Gmen lose 4 straight afterwards. Chaos ensues.
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.
