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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
