about 30 minutes ago...

the giants have won three superbowls, two of which they started the season 0-2 so it is foolish to have so many knee jerk negative threads.

I was on the 104 section so I had a good view, but didn't get a lot of angles and replays like on TV at home, but this is what I thought...

1. Beason played very well, was in on lot of tackles. bradshaw made him look really bad on one run, but it was only like a 4 yard game so no big deal.

2. Steve Smith (Car) looked pretty explosive, but dropped two relatively easy passes. I can see how he may not get a lot of catches, but have a lot of tds, yards.

3. Eli played great, looked like three catchable passes that got picked off. he had a few bad throws to nicks in coverage early and that pass to bradshaw near the goalline was bad, Everyone here was talking about bashing eli's head in, but he is an above average qb--it isn't always about stats.

4. Where was the running game? either team? 11 yards for Stewart, almost 200 less than last game and he was my #1 rb on my fantasy team.

Bradshaw got going a little near the end and Jacobs put a little spark in the middle of the game.

5. Nicks - was that the worst 3 td performance ever? we'll take it, I wore his shirt. Sat close to a pretty lady with a daughter, both had nick's jersey and were there alone, I wonder if that was his gf and daughter?

6. Our special teams sucked, especially our coverage teams. 14 net yards on punt coverage. Matt Dodge was rumored to be hyperventilating on the sidelines, good thing he isn't the field goal kicker

7 DL looked good. Barry Cofield made two huge plays in a row. Three sacks from the right ends. Tuck looked really good, the stats line on nfl.com doesn't tell the story.

8. Penalties killed the giants, panthers were very undisciplined too.

9. I hope Kevin Boss and Matt Moore are okay.

10. Until we meet again:

thanks for the positive review. Giants are a good team, and they're my pick for the NFC East(Dallas is overrated, Eagles are in a rebuilding year sort of, and Redskins will just be average.) Giants made 2nd half adjustments, and the Panthers didn't.

were you able to see what was going on with Matt Moore on the sidelines towards the end of the game?

no, we were in the endzone and osi got the sack right in front of us, so we didn't have a good view of the sidelines. I heard he was taken to the hospital and won't make it back with the team. He was throwing up on the sidelines which is a sign of a concussion.

With the boss injury, we didn't even know he got hit on the play, we thought he just fell over the defender and much have hurt his knee/ankle, etc...

According to Darin Gantt on Twitter, Moore did make it back with the team and it was a concussion.

NO, as I'm sure LBI will agree, the Giants are not a very good team! They are maybe an 8-8 team that crushed what most people here thought was a 10-6 team! Thanks to Fox's play calling and Matt Moore, a Bad team beat a really bad team, nothing more!

I think the giants are going to be a very good team, what they should have been last year. They were ranked #1 for a while before the saints game. While I don't think they are anywhere near the #1 team, I think they will at least contend for a wild card. We added some good talent, dropped some baggage, and are healthier. The O-Line is a concern. I hope that Seubert gets replaced with Andrews and we start running on people again. The Colts gave up 200 yard to foster, I hope they giants run well next week.

Giants fans are most excited about Hakeem Nicks and Kenny Philips.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
