Its because alot of the regulars on here are old AF.

Being surprisingly young compared to the regulars on this board (51), its not hard for me to start the year and feel like parts of this team will outperform expectations.



If i want to be miserable 24/7, i can pay attention to politics, the economy, or the Giants by week 5.



But 10 mins before the start of the Giants season?

I'm all green lights.

A lot of us have been posting on here or the old place for over 20 years now. It's wild to think about.

i joined on the old Giants.com board when i was in my early 20s. I didn’t realize most guys were pushing 40-50 then.

Note to self: In my next lifetime, try and be a professional football player.

Why do you need to take all that beating and not be able to enjoy all that money because of a broken body? Baseball is better, maybe a little less money, but much less physical abuse.  You cannot get hurt by just scratching your nuts and spitting.

In my next lifetime, I am hoping to be a worldwide soccer star like Messi or Ronaldo. Soccer is where the real money is worldwide.

I got an offer to be a moderator on the old sight, something about Canadians not losing their cool easily ( ), but i turned it down because my son was going be born about 6 months later.  I had been on the boards for 3-4 before that.

He's 16 today.  So until i read your post, i hadn't done the math.  It’s absolutely wild.  As a guy who works hard and spends the rest of his time with his family, i don't have alot of free time for a social life.  I'm more familiar with guys on here that have been posting for 20 years (like you) than i am with buddies from college or whatever.

Just nuts.

you got my vote if you decide to run for GMB office again 

. You’re a mensch.

Let's do this!!!!!

[Aris]

I’m wondering what everybody thinks about Daniel Jones…..

[lt56]

Lets Go!

[yoho]

Dominant

[wtfjjk]

Nice backward pass Daniel!

[redbeardxxv]

LT starting to look old. The passage of time is a MOFO.

Oh well. LETS F'N GO!

[D.O.G.E.]

Lose 7 yards on a check down unreal

[sickntired]

Alright…just got up. Worked last night.

[BigBlueDog42]

Same old stuff on offense scared to let the ball go protection was great

[allnygin]

wonderful start

[balloonknot]

I see were in mid season form

[vinnie]

Just what I was hoping for, good solid football, lol.

[gmen21]

Some things never change I guess

[scoostraw]

GREAT START!!

[wtfjjk]

3rd and 19. Yeah, let's go for that 2 yard pass!

[yoho]

Not an auspicious start

[Fletch842]

lol to our first drive. At least they won't get big heads...

[vinnie]

These are the type of wins I crave!

[gmen21]

Absolutely awful start for this offense

[wtfjjk]

Vikings defense looks much improved. They look like All-Pros all over that lineup!

[OrangeGiant]

Wow, 3 and out. Now that is shocking

[presumablygunner]

Run for no gain.
Backward pass.
Delay of Game.
Dropped Pass.
Punt.

The Giants way.

[sickntired]

Still don’t understand the strange new kickoff.

[allnygin]

that pocket on that 3rd down was nice though. dammn we might have an oline.. maybe

[redbeardxxv]

Welp. Let's call it first game jitters?

[Danke Schoen]

3 and out (4 if you count the penalty). Awesome.

However the pass protection was nice.

[Aris]

Jones shocked at the time he had to throw the check down….
