but I do think it really depends on our pass rush to take advantage of their bad OLine. So, Thibs playing will probably be even more meaningful than most weeks. I also think they have some decent receivers and ARob not playing hurts. I wish I could predict differently, but I am saying
Our LBs already had a hard time last week. Can you imagine this week against Christian McCaffrey?
This is where Wink's defense and approach scares me. Ask your players to be flexible, multiple, etc... but continue to do the same thing throughout a game, no matter how it unfolds.
I hope to hell Wink can adjust if they start killing our man to man defensive sets...

Giants 27 Panthers 24
It will be an entirely different gameplan thannlast week, last week you had a bruising runnjng back who you had to stack the box andnplay 2 inside LBs..
This week will be more speed on the field to stay with mccaffrey out of the backfield..
and what did you want him to do differently last week?
he takes out an inside LB Tennessee rjns it right up the gut...He gameplanned to stop Henry and whatever tannehill did was whatever..They gave up 20 points and 6 of those points were on shortfield
But I think we’re in for a letdown this week. I feel like baker goes off on our banged up defense
Panthers - 27
Giants - 17
Home opener in front of pumped crowd and only week 2 and you predict a letdown? Not at this point in an early season. Titans are a far better team than the Panthers. Every one is worried about their back but what about them dealing with SB who is a better runner and a good pass receiver. I think this game is close but I think 24-17 Giants.
Wink is not stupid -- he is very into the details of each game
Superstitiously I'm afraid to like the Giants in this game - but the Giants have the better coaching staff here by far and that definitely gives them an edge.
If we can see a little more offense in the first half please
Wink is definitely going to have a game plan for McCaffrey
We make them one dimensional and then attack Baker. O-line continues to improve with additional experience.
I like this but you also need edges who can rush. If we are without thibs and azeez I don’t want to see ward and Leo as ends. We saw it a lot last week and Tanny escaped using his legs.
Leo needs to earn his big paycheck and get pressure up the middle. Have no faith in Ward or Ximines getting to Baker
.
I would agree with this, we saw Crowder get burned a couple times last week by the Titans other back. One was the touchdown down the sideline, when he was slow getting over.
Don't think the Panthers haven't looked at that piece of film.
Crowder scares me in coverage, I'll go with Giants, 20-17.
I think it will be another close game - Giants 24. Panthers 20
Leo needs to earn his big paycheck and get pressure up the middle. Have no faith in Ward or Ximines getting to Baker
Do you really think Wink will run the same scheme this week?
CMac is a different style runner/receiver than Henry. Wink, Leo, and the rest of the line schemed to limit Henry as much as possible. Ward’s main job was to set the edge last week, not pressure the QB In fact I thought him, Leo and Dex did their jobs really well.
I fully expect another safety in there this week with a little less dependence on the ILB’s. If KT5 and Olijari are still out then I’d bet he sends more pressure from the DB’s and runs more stunts to get to Baker if the DL isn’t getting home.
I think the main focus last week was limit Henry and make Tannehill beat them, and I think this week the focus will be similar but they’ll be prepared to stop CMac running and receiving as opposed to just stopping a running Henry.
I agree. Wink didn't blitz as much last week compared to what he's done largely in his career. I feel with Dane Belton back from injury, and with Tony Jefferson possibly coming in too, we will see one of them being the spy for McCaffrey and they utilize more pass rush situations.
Food for thought: McCaffrey had three carries in the first half last week. McAdoo, the same genius some here feel was a semi decent coach.
We have new people in charge. Has everyone forgotten that? How is anything in the past relevant to this team. Maybe we could wait and see if this regime can deal with the burden of a one game winning streak before we assume the past is still an issue. The Panthers are a very average team, if that, at best. I think we we can deal with that level of team.
Feels like the Giants are starting to point in the right direction
and the Panthers are a mess. Giants stunk for one half versus the Titans, but found a way to overcome themselves and their opponent. Let's build on that in the home opener, make me believe : Giants 27, Panthers 23
After the surprise win in Tennessee last week. Would be typical Giants.
That being said, I think they get to 2-0.
NYG 23
Panthers 20
Barkley continues to strengthen his trade value with another monster game. Defense scores on a Mayfield pick 6. I’m gonna say Thibodeaux off a deflected pass at the LOS.
The 12th man comes up big for Wink. Daniel Jones comes out firing on a picture perfect sunny Sunday and throws for over 300 yards and 3 TD's Barkley has another big game as the giants OL Training Day's the Panthers Defense by pushing there Sh*t in all over the field.
Are 1,000% healthy,I do not want them playing in this game..We can beat their crackpot QB,with good defense..Stop CMAC and limit him to about 60/75 yds..
Make them one dimensional,and keep pressure on numb nuts.We will win this game..Dabs will not let his
players play soft,or be lacking in emotion to play well for themselves or the fans.
GIANTS 26....Karolina 16...
Misspelled you know who on purpose..I don't think
they can beat us in NEW JERSEY !!!!
CMC vs our LB's and Baker vs whoever is playing CB2 with Robinson out adds up to a painful afternoon of football when the Giants Defense is on the field. Hope im wrong, but...
Lets face it, without him the giants may have the worst wr group in the league. Saquon will continue right where he left off but the giants can't get off to the same slow start they did this past Sunday.
The Black Cats offense will strive to protect the Duke with heavy pawed felines of integrity but Winks D is confusing and confounding as cat nip. Saquon runs wild, like a mad dog touched by hand of God. Somewhere on the Cape, an old man whimpers, “I told that darling girl that Rome wasn’t built in a day”.
If they manage to win, it'll likely say more good things about the team's future than beating Tennessee did.
One of the tests we'll need to pass on the road back to respectability is having a week of optimism, and then show up on Sunday ready to live up to expectations.
The DaBalls coaching the Giants vs Little NumNuts Rhule coaching the Baylor Panthers..
I raise my points for the Giants from 26 to 32..
And lower the Panthers to 13...I will be going to church to let my Boss Man know my request..He will not let me down..I hope !!
in OT - 3 overtime FGs with Carolina winning late after Daboll goes for it on 4th down in Giants territory in the last minute of OT. Carolina holds and get a last second FG. Daboll says punting would have meant we were happy with the tie.
I was pretty confident Barkley could get more total yardage than Henry, although I didn’t think he would outrush him. Barkley and McC is a matchup of RBs with nearly equal skill sets. If Barkley wants to be recognized as the best RB in the league, and at full strength he may be, he needs to beat McC in rushing, receiving and total yards.
The defense needs to help Barkley accomplish that. Mayfield is a negative factor if Wink can dial up the pass rush. Another close game. Maybe a tossup won by a field goal again. 27-24 pick ‘em.

Flying high all week after they lucked out against Tennessee, the Giants will fall back to reality hard - I'm talking Neo's first jump attempt hard - as their non-existent pass-rush and depleted Secondary will make Baker Mayfield and Christian McCaffrey look like All-Pros. The home crowd will absolutely make a lot noise, though. They'll serenade Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley with an endless chorus of boos, and it won't be a tune that will make Brian Daboll feel like dancing. He'll be more inclined to go into hiding as he feels his "balls of steel" melt away.
I think our offense breaks out a bit more this week. We all know the Giants haven’t handled prosperity well in recent years, but I don’t think the Panthers are that good on defense
Of Barkley, who I think will have another good game, but they are not afraid of Jones, who I think will be his mediocre self. I think the Giants will have a defensive TD that wins a close game. Giants 21, Panthers 20.

I think the home crowd is going to be pretty energized on Sunday and expect a good effort from this team. I don't think Carolina is particularly good.
Name of the game is obviously slowing down McCaffrey, If we can do that, I love our chances. I trust Wink.
2-0.
27-10
Giants 27-13
SaQuad another 150+ yards rushing, 2 TDs
M.Brieda with an additional 65 yards
DJ with a rushing TD
Golladay with his first rec TD as a Giant
Toney or Slayton gets a rec TD
Food for thought: McCaffrey had three carries in the first half last week. McAdoo, the same genius some here feel was a semi decent coach.
27-10
Lol. Mayfield isn't good enough to simply decide he's not going to let Daniel Jones beat him. Get real.
Giants 16
I hope Wink can control CM in the passing game with safeties
Another heavy dose of Saquon

Many of you are worried about our weaknesses yet omitting to discuss THEIR weaknesses. Thus, you have lost perspective.
Their weaknesses >> our weaknesses, plus we should be playing in front of a rowdy blood seeking crowd……thus, WE WIN!
The results will probably even out over time. I'd guess 20-16 Panthers
Not good is better than bad therefore Jints win!
That being said, I think they get to 2-0.

Misspelled you know who on purpose..I don't think
they can beat us in NEW JERSEY !!!!
But another opportunity to build confidence moving forward and continue learning how to win.
1) don't want to jinx
2) maybe overreacting to a week 1 game
And payback for the 85-yarder they hit at the buzzer a few years back in Charlotte...
If i end up being wrong, it’ll likely be because Wink found a way to generate pressure and turnovers without two of our best pass rushers.

Coaches seem to see their own weaknesses and the other teams strengths…….fans definitely do.
I could easily see a letdown from the Titans game. But I'm going to trust Daboll get the troops focused and parlay last week's vibes into momentum.
24-17, NYG.

The one position I’d give Carolina a definite edge is at WR
lol. Good one Googs.

Giants will come into the game with momentum. If they can use that, game over.
Panthers 17
Saquan 145 yds and 6 recpts for 80 yds 2 TDs
DJ 22/27 210 yards 2 TD
McCaffery does some damage between the 20s but in the RZ is throttled.
27-10
Baker doesn’t exactly impose his will on anyone. He’s ordinary.
I still need to see more out of nyg but I’m not scared of baker mayfield that’s for sure. He’s always just merely been part of the scenery.
All depends on which offense shows up. Was last week’s second half offense what we can expect going forward or will they be up and down all year long.
Welcome to the real world.
What burns me, big mouth, is just who the hell invited you?
Another good game from Richie James too.
