He's most likely to do this by performing so poorly that even his critics choke on their dinners and are unable to speak.

.

The Patriots TV announcers. if previous years are a guide they will hardly mention that the Giants are on the field, preferring instead to wax eloquently about some Pat's camp fodder who was the third person in on a tackle after a big play by the Giants; who made the play for the G-men will not be mentioned.

I'd like to see the starting offense show life- glimpses of potential from young guys like Neal, Robinson, Bellinger. A scoring drive would be amazing. Give us the starting O some momentum to build off of.

Defensively, I'm not expecting much bc the scheme will be watered down. Want to see how Aaron Robinson looks in coverage with the 1's, and KT I'm looking forward to watching obviously.

PS game is more about the depth guys/fringe guys and other young guys fighting for a bigger role. The guys/competitions I am looking forward to watching

- Battle for Edge rusher spots between Roche, Smith, and Ximines

- Battle for WR depth spots, assuming James is a lock but Colin Johnson vs Slayton vs Doss

- RB3- Williams vs Brightwell vs Corbin

Other young guys I am looking forward to seeing:
- Darrian Beavers
- Jalyn Holmes
- Cor'Dale Flott
- Yusuf Corker

and nothing but health. lets start the season with no injuries. Go Blue

I'm looking forward to more overreaction 🙂 Near Pro Bowl season...is that like playign Horseshoes and getting a point for being close? How about reasonable reaction from you to shoot down all those overreactions...

So you're saying he didn't? Look at all of his statistical grades...if he plays the entire year he is likely talked about as one of the top tackles in football.

But you already knew that..

... Daniel Jones making the right read on a 10-yard dig when the peek side was wide open on a nine.

The DJ haters will go nuts.

Yeah, we're probably going to be bad again, but the Giants are my favorite team in all of sports and football is my favorite sport. So, naturally, I'm looking forward to it, good or bad.

The obvious; Thibs and Neal. Daboll's first pre-season game as our Head Coach. For the starters on both sides of the ball to at least not embarrass themselves (especially the offense) and most importantly; no injuries.

To watching Giants Football. I am the guy that will watch Jags-Texans just to enjoy the game. So many stories and great performances in a sport I care about.
Baseball and Basketball don’t hold my interest, Hockey I like in small doses.
Horse Racing and NFL Football are my favorite spectator sports and both are starting to rev up. I hope to look forward to both until the day I die.

When Daboll/Kafka call a QB sneak on a 3rd and 9…uh oh

I kid. Just execute and look like a professional team and I’m good. A Victor Cruz like performance would be nice, but maybe game 3 for that.

and whether there's much of a pass rush in general. Offensively I want to see Robinson make something special happen.

Lazy reply... so you believe there's no reason to play these games? Because if there IS a reason, then there's something to see...

I would strongly suggest listening to the Giants radio broadcast while watching the game with the sound off. I mean, yeah....in you are in Boston watching the Patriots broadcast, they are broadcasting to Patriots fans. If im a Patriot fan, why would I give a damn about hearing about a Giant player? If you dont want to go the radio route, then I would suggest keeping a numerical roster handy and make your own observations, cause doubtful the broadcasters will.

I want to see which WR will emerge. I hope Darius Slayton takes it to another level this year.

Looking forward to his first step.

Also - saquon, Wandale and winks defensive looks

of competence. At least run some positive plays and get a little drive put together.

At this point, I would play Jones at least a full quarter. Maybe even two.

He needs live action; and he needs to put points on the board using this new offense.

1. No injuries
2. The offense doesn’t look offensive
3. The Young Guys we are rooting for show us enough to be happy
4. ST gets a TD
5. The starters play at least a half
6. The new punter has good hang time
7. Bellinger catches a ball or two
8. No sacks on our QBs
9. Plenty of sacks to theirs
10. No injuries

Those are always fun to see on the game thread. Some no name DB is gonna get two picks that are total gimmes and fans will be clamoring for him to start over Jackson.

DJ will throw some ducks and that’s it for some fans the rest of the season. Even if he has an above average season it will not matter due to passes that happen in this Thursday’s game.

Lastly, how many people punt on Daboll after a questionable call.

will be vanilla. The only thing I pay attention to in pre-season is individual performances. The W/L and score are meaningless.

and no injuries.
