In the matchup of our opponent this Saturday and our opponent for week 1 of the regular season, anything stand out?

For me, the Jets keeping starters in for the first half was a welcomed sight...I hope we see it on Saturday. That would be another great test for our team.

I think this post will be moved.

Seriosuly though Victor Cruz reminds me more of Steve Smith then any wide recieiver I've ever seen. He just tore it up out there.

I really don't care about the Jets because we don't have to play them but either the Jets D-line is really good or the Giants O-line is pretty bad. I think it could be a little bit of both. True the Giants didn't have a few starters out there.

Either way I just think we are going to eat up the Giants like packman on opening day. Tom Caughlan is fired in atleast two years.

I like that Jets have to play again in 5 days.

I really <hope> our starters play the whole first half. I want to see MM and DJ start getting some chemistry together. Since it might be October before Smitty is completely ready.

I agree. At some point we have enough unknowns that it can only improve our chemistry to let them play. Hell, the Jets didn't look all that hot and everyone is praising them as the "next big thing". Why not put the hammer down at home? It's obvious that the fans at home need some positive reinforcement. Playing the Jets on five days rest and a road trip sounds like a great opportunity. Couple that with the fact that they just got their ass kicked on home opening day by the pathetic Giants. Hard Knocks indeed.....

Quick check from the Giants P.O.V. shows that they think their punter sucks...big time...Feagles is already missed and that is another point for the Panthers to consider for the opening day game. Pressure the punter....

Guy was kicking low line drives, with very little hang time. Too bad our special teams have looked like crap so far. Hopefully we get it together.

AE running back a punt on the opening gameday would be a pleasent suprise.

I hate to make comparisons to guys that I haven't seen much of, but this definitely crossed my mind when I was watching him. He plays exactly like Smitty in regards to his size/strength as well as his ability to go up and 'attack' the ball and take it from defenders. I don't think he's as fast, but he is definitely quick and explosive in short bursts. I was blown away. Would love to sign him but I don't see them letting him go after that showing. Could leave Ramses Barden or Hagan on the chopping block.

And btw, I don't care what we do come Saturday as long as our QBs helmets aren't blown 20 ft. off their head from a blindside hit and they walk off the field with their head leaking like Eli did tonight... Disgusting.

Yeah, all precipitated by Brandon Jacobs plowing into his own QB, knocking his helmet loose in the first place.

Some thoughts regarding these commments. The Jets defense looked good because they blitzed on every down much like Baltimore. Without gameplanning, it always looks good. Would like to see us use screens and misdirection plays to abuse the rush.

The Giants look ordinary on defense and offense, Cruz did look good, I figure he is going to make the 53 man roster. At 6'1" and 200 lbs he looked much bigger than Smith.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
