That is a GREAT win

Sean : 9/18/2022 4:08 pm
I’ve felt that this was going to be a tough matchup all week and chance for a let down. That is the type of win that builds confidence and continues to work towards changing a culture.

Also, I’ve been critical of Jones. But, his 3rd down run to seal the game was a great play by him. Having that weapon at QB is nice when needed.

Lastly, feel free to take your shots at me for my Panthers thread last year 😂. I’m thrilled this team is 2-0.
2nd week in a row

Team starts off shaky.

Players and play calls gradually improve.

Last few series are the best.

Win.

Looks like we have our coaching core in place.

instead o finding ways to lose. Refreshing!
1st half horrible again  
5BowlsSoon : 9/18/2022 4:12 pm : link
But somehow they do enough in 2nd half to win.

Gano is so friggin awesome!

Jones run on 3rd down was so amazing….I did not want to see the defense back out there. Thank you SB and DJ for making that not happen.

to be excited.

They're doing this with guys like Toney and Golladay and (don't hate me) Jones.

Great win. And credit to DJ for using his legs to get that first.
The run Jones made to “beat” Burns to the edge was exciting  
BSIMatt : 9/18/2022 4:19 pm : link
As well, I really thought that was advantage Burns, and he nearly got him…hell of a play by Jones on that one.

The tide is turning. I am so excited to see what this defense looks like with Kayvon and Ojulari back - we are already generating really good pressure without them. Wink has been amazing.

The entire feel of this team is different right now. Love what I am seeing.

Great win.
Great win…

Jones is turning out to be the kind of a guy who is going to limit a lot of what you can do offensively, but also brings some winning qualities to the position like his mobility.

I’m thrilled to be 2-0 and also don’t know how you can invest big bucks in him.

It’s not just us. Think about this week 2 giants bears Washington Detroit jets and jags all have a win already. Survivor pools must be brutal this year lol
Yes great win, but the Giants offense has to do better, the passing  
Jack Stroud : 9/18/2022 4:26 pm : link
was mediocre and the run game was average at best. If they get behind by 7 or 10 points is this team capable of coming back to win?

I’m a Jones guy and was really pulling for him but it’s real money now and he’s not consistent enough for it sorry but it is what it is and that simple
The Giants are learning  
ChrisRick : 9/18/2022 4:28 pm : link
to hang in there, which will put you in most games. Still an unimpressive roster. Winning games is tough, you have to focus on the play at hand, not the last play or the play coming up.

???? Didn’t they do that last week?
closing out a win like that, especially on defense  
islander1 : 9/18/2022 4:29 pm : link
is not something they do.

So, it's definitely noteworthy that they actually did it today. Carolina isn't exactly the worst team on the planet with CMC.
Someone said it during the week...  
bw in dc : 9/18/2022 4:30 pm : link
and I think it might have some merit. For now, this team has a 1997 feel to it. A team just figuring out how to win games with timely play by all three aspects - offense, defense, and special teams.

I don't mind winning ugly. I mind ugly losses.
Keep learning how to find a way  
JonC : 9/18/2022 4:33 pm : link
and win, finish. Reinforcements coming on defense. Team holes look the same as week 1.

Roster is unimpressive and there were several injuries as well.

Heck of a win.
Ugly win!  
trueblueinpw : 9/18/2022 4:39 pm : link
On the post game they were saying how TC used to say games are lost more frequently than they’re won in the NFL. The Giants didn’t beat the Giants today. Which is great. The coaches made good adjustments again. And the offense protected the football. Good kicks by Gano. Good ugly win. Giants are 2-0. Let’s go Big Blue!
The biggest difference vs. Judge  
csb : 9/18/2022 4:39 pm : link
Is this team calls the game to win, they don’t play ‘not to lose’. You can feel it as a fan and it’s so much more fun to watch.

Nah. It’s that many of the young players are getting better and, in game, the team is gradually executing better as the contest goes on. Coaches who know what their doing and can think on their feet. You can feel it.

they did it this week, they were down 7

this team doesn’t have enough talent to win “pretty”. Winning “ugly” works for me!

Games like this are how you change your culture. It's how players start buying in and start believing in the process. We don't have the horses to compete with the heavyweights yet, but the quality of the coaching so far is noticeably better and it's clear that Schoen has a much better handle on the personnel.

Winning these close games is so important for a young team. It gives them confidence and something to build off.

We have a lot to be happy about so far.
Anybody care to comment about Anthony Thomas?  
cosmicj : 9/18/2022 4:54 pm : link
Lot of pressure elsewhere, esp the interior, but did he play a clean, dominant game?

He wasn't dominant, but he was our best. If our Oline play improves, our wins might not look so ugly.

LOL - so after 2 weeks they have done it 2 times. Ha ha, good point Jack
Once they get a real QB next year  
Greg from LI : 9/18/2022 5:45 pm : link
The offense is really going to take off
The running game gets better as the game progresses  
djm : 9/18/2022 6:22 pm : link
Jones no mistakes. Giants offense kept the ball and sealed the win. 2-0. Games are lost more than they are won.
