Well the 1st play was great, then every play of the first half thereafter was complete garbage. Getting blown out at home by a team that won 0 games last year, I don't care if it's preseason or not that's pathetic.
- the o-line is still garbage, 2 sacks allowed in 2 drives with the starting O in the game, 2 of the 7 run plays went for -2, they blocked no one on the 39 yard opening run there were 3 guys waiting right there for Barkley and he just weaved his way through them.
- Davis Webb, this guy is the reason we didn't draft a QB with the 2nd overall pick? God help us
- Eli, 15 years in the league and still not capable of executing a screen pass
- Eli Apple, still garbage
- for about the 20th year in a row it looks like the D can't cover a TE
- 3 points and they only got those because a taunting penalty kept the drive alive when it would have been 4th down and a punt

I Agree. We are totally F@@@@@. We did not win the Super bowl in the 1st half of week one of the preseason.

OBJ playing will change everything my friend. It will certainly help, it's not going to make the line any better. Not going to change the fact we've got 1 good CB and the rest are crap either. |

Oh I forgot preseason means nothing, just like it's meant nothing when the offense has been putrid all preseason over the past 6 years. What was our combined record those 6 years in the regular season? 35-61? |

If the defensive Line can get to the QB in a hurry it will make the secondary look and play better. Hopefully Bettcher can get it working for them. |

OK your right but lets not jump off the ledge just yet. apparently we have a lot of work to do. Were going to have to learn how to get tough. The defense looks as though it is exactly what we were afraid of. Can't get a rookie QB in his first outing off the field. That secondary with no pass rush I don't know which is worse. But let me watch the 2nd half with guys that probably get cut.

A new system will always have bumps in the beginning. |

They were 3-13 last year and everything is completely changed. You were expecting them to blow the doors off?

The issues in the beginning of the game are easily correctable. That said, you have to keep in mind that not only is this offense new, it’s completely different than the offense from last year. Once these guys start to get comfortable, you will see a different result. Same with the defense. This was the FIRST outing when you are actually taking licks and handing them out while some of the more basic fundamentals In terms of your role within the overall scheme are not coming naturally because learning a new system is never natural. There is always a learning curve. The browns on the other hand have had the same system for 2, going on 3 years. RELAX. This is in no way an indication of how this season will go - good bad or indifferent. If we came out and started beating up on the Browns I would have been just as cautiously optimistic. At the same time it may not have been good for this team if they did. Because my view would not change. It would not be an indication to me as to what the rest of the season will look like. There are plenty of positives to rest out hats on as fans. But let’s not kid ourselves, we have most of the preseason left and there is a lot of work to do. |

I agree with much of the original poster. The o-line got pushed around. Eli continues to see ghosts and his play is consistently affected by his fear in the pocket. Webb had a terrible day. L. Collins was a big bright spot. The guy is flying all over the field. We'll have to see how the rest of the games pan out, but clearly it was not an encouraging sign |

Browns were undefeated last preseason. How did that work out for them? Good grief....
Every year it’s the same shit with some off you, just a different board.

Mayfield had a field day against guys who probably will never see the field together during the regular season and everyone know thinks he’s legit. Taylor was more impressive doing it against the ones. The one thing that concerned me a bit were the two sacks on Eli. Obviously it’s a work in progress with the line. The defense brought pressure on Taylor a few times but they definitely have weaknesses which opposing OC will take complete advantage of. Had Eli and Ellison been on the same page on that throw not only it’s a first but a potential TD later. I didn’t see Engram on that drive and ODB didn’t even play. The offense will score points this year. It’s the defense that will need to hold up. |

Although I dont agree with the OP at all (a little premature to wave the white flag), this is what is wrong here. Its not about the W or the L. They could have lost 20-10 but actually showed a lot more to make Giants fans feel better. Like, I dont know, not let Baker Mayfield in his first ever game in the NFL absolutely dismantle and torch them for 200+ yards and 2 TDs in less than a half? OR how about finishing a drive off on offense with a TD after a long drive? Small things that dont mean a whole lot right now, but at least show you improvement from a 3-13 team. Like I said in my thread, Im not worried yet. Its game 1 of preseason. But if we show nothing in games 2 and games 3 like the last couple of years, Ill start getting a bit worried. I dont expect much from this team this year to be honest. I think 8-8 is the high mark. But what I do want to see is improvement in all aspects of the game from 2017. |

Lol.....yes the old GMB is back! If you need proof just read this thread. Unlike last year all the first team's problems are easily correctable....they're not due to lack of talent but rather very fixable execution. i.e. - The line working through the double backer stunt, Ellison breaking in instead of out on that slant, Ogletree getting a jam on the TE or playing a little softer, the CB's getting used to the back shoulder tosses, having OBJ in the line-up instead of Sharpe (who won't even be on this team), etc. This is what the preseason and training camp are for.
My lord.
And the Mayfield love.....lololol.....geez I'd be worried if he didn't put up 200 yards against the 2nd/3rd teamers.
The most impressive part of the night was Solder saving Eli's life and still getting a hand on Myles Garret and driving him by even though he was a mile offsides. That's the range he possesses and why they signed him to blindside protection.

LOL, I love reading comments after a preseason game. Yeah, it’s hilarious reading all the comments about how nothing matters in preseason. WINS AND LOSSES don’t matter in preseason. What happens on the field absolutely does. If you’re not at least a little concerned about what you saw from Davis Webb, for example, then I don’t know what to tell you. |
