Update: Sounds like Brian Burns (groin) is good to go and Giants expect him to play vs Browns despite questionable tag, per sources.

Another important game early in the season. #Giants (0-2) looking to get their first win Sunday vs. the Browns in Cleveland.
A must-win. A date with the Dallas Cowboys looms in four days.
Some things for Giants to build off offensively from Week 2:
— Daniel Jones was more confident in his reads. Posted a solid 62.4 QBR vs. Commanders.
— Offensive line played one of its best games in years. Pass block win rate so far this year is 66.7%, tied for sixth in NFL.
— RB Devin Singletary looked extremely elusive. Averaged a healthy 5.9 yards per carry vs. Commanders.
— Rookie WR Malik Nabers averaging a solid 3.3 yards of separation, per NextGen Stats. Also 109 yards already after the catch. Living up to the hype early in the season.

#Giants pass-rusher Brian Burns, who popped up on the injury report late in the week with a groin injury and is listed as questionable, should be good to go, source said.
Like Nabers, Phillips, JMS, Thibs and Burns. That is really where the interest lies for me. Whether they win or lose the game I am pretty apathetic about. There is no pride left in being a fan of this team. Many of us are just morbidly watching to see who will be here next year.
Hopefully there is a competitive game like last week. Is that too much to ask of this franchise?

if the goal is to make the playoffs and win games then yeah today is a must win.
If you are of the belief this team still has multiple holes and very important positions and in the long run filling those holes with higher picks is better, then while you can't root against the Giants, the sting of the loss is somewhat lessened by the hope of a strong draft class.

I agree, only difference for me is I’m done watching Jones run this offense. We know what he is. I’d rather see lock or devito given the reigns to see what it looks like without jones destroying the vibe.
I expect Watson to live up to his contract, for 1 week, and their D to school us.
That said - it’s up to the Giants to change the narrative. Good defense on the road. Giants O (DJ) has an opportunity here. Prove you can play well against a good D. Those are the expectations. If not, go.
Need to get the ball to Theo Johnson and WanDale early and often IMO.
+1
Johnson is a rookie who came in raw at one of the toughest positions to make the NFL leap, in an offense that's more complex than most and for the TE in particular.
For now I expect anything thrown his way will be routes he's sitting, and after he's declared. I'd love to see him make some plays, but the middle of the field is a very risky place if the QB/TE aren't 99% on the same page. Which is impossible to expect at this point.

I expect the TEs to be targeted a little bit moreso in this game. Johnson is capable, just like Bellinger in his rookie season. Don’t want Jones forcing the ball to Nabers. Cleveland has a decent secondary too.

The heck with Theo and Wandale. The Giants have a superstar (or on the cusp superstar), get him the damn ball.
Cleveland is banged up and this Giants team is not without some talent. Brian Daboll needs to inspire his team to pull itself up by its bootstraps. The alternative is not a long-term career move for the Giants Head Coach.

That's like syaing don't force the ball to Jefferson etc. They should exactly force the ball to Nabers. He is significantly better thna any other Giants on Offense.

I actually have a good feeling about today. Let's go.
Not expecting the same ypc but if they can boost the RB's production to 25c/4.5ypc they should be in good shape. Interested if the OL can play to the same standard.
D needs to make them punt the ball a few times. Hopefully a turnover or two with a big improvement in stopping the run.

You are correct sir.
Can we stop being every teams get right game. ..that's all I ask
Back in the day (most recently '07 - '12) when the Giants were competitive, games were very stressful.
I remember a tight game during that period, with Dallas driving for a potential game-winning TD, I noticed that my heart was beating way too fast. I had to pause the game and take 10 minutes off to meditate, hoping to calm down by reminding myself that it was just a game.
But now? I'll root like hell for them to win, but when they suck, it does take the pressure off.

If we lose, lose ugly and or lose decisively then Daboll will be on his way out. Cannot imagine him staying if we start 0-3 with Boys next on the schedule..

Nabers will get plenty of looks but WDR, Slayton, Johnson and HYATT need some looks too.
Feel better..

We all know this is probably going to end poorly.
Feel better my BBI sparing partner
Just wondering!
2--- Get the ball as much as possible to Nabers.
3-- Stop the run.
4--- Double Cooper.

Thankfully, since Bowen is so married to his system, if we can even pretend to shut down the run this week, I see us getting at least a pick or two.
Offensively, lets see what you have against a good D.

I listened after the Week 1 beatdown - he called it the “Century Red Wedding.” Great Game of Thrones reference that had me cracking up.
