I would say I feel good about the direction the team is heading we know now that they will concentrate on the trenches draft linebackers and build from the inside out, those are the things that make me happy.

Beal gone for season and outside of Jenkins & Apple all question marksWell, I'm hoping the offense keeps the ball so long, it will take some of the pressure off that little deal. over the years they've always preached great defense and it's true. NY needs to get back to holding the ball and bore the hell out of other teams fans. always love to see the other teams QB on the sideline pacing like he has to pee and upset. |

I was feeling really good, and still feel positive, but that Beal thing sorta brought me back down to Earth a bit.....I need to lower my expectations and just take this season for what it is.

That's my plan too Joe, take it for what it is. I'd like to see better special teams that won't put us in a hole all the time and just look better organized than years past. happy to have new coaching/ beginning for the most part. |

I never feel good about this team. I'm too damn old and too damn tired to forget what history has taught me. In the end... injuries dictate everything. You can't compete by having people off the street putting on helmets and calling themselves football players. I recall one season the Giants finished the year with 22 players on the IR. That's a starting defense AND offense. Toward the end of last season, I think I saw my grandmother lined up as a LB for the Gmen. And you know what? She stinks against the run. :-)
Each year, hope springs eternal. So let's pancake some bastards while we have a chance!!!

You must be talking about those few years after the last Super Bowl? think we broke the record with the amount, hard to watch those teams, or backups! |

I think the team can make the playoffs. I'm nervous about a well coached team exposing our biggest weakness the way GB did in 2016 after DRC went down. As bad as that game ended, if the Giants somehow ended up winning with Eli balling the way he was I think that team could've gone deep into the playoffs.
I hope the defense steps up this year and doesn't become a liability. I expect the offense to move the ball well and score some points.

This time of year every fan feels good about their team. Basically most people are optimistic. But this year we seem to have upgraded in talent. And with Beckham returning from injury it's and drafting Barkley into our offense the upside is unbelievable. And 2 good players like Engram and Shepard send our imaginations into orbit. Plus the talent added to our O line, we could actually run the football which will take defenses out of the 2 high safeties.
I'm excited also. Trying not to expect too much don't want to fall on my face with expectations.

we have a lot to feel good about this team. on offense skilled positions are loaded; Barkley, Gallman, Stewart, OBJ, Shep, Engram, Ellison are a few that will make our season. on d, i look forward to them making a comeback to 2016 levels when they went 11-5.
all-in-all its very exciting to wait and see what we have. hopefully we are cheering load and clear for 19-20 games.

this team.I think i mean untill i dont , Secondary could be a big issue. Beal gone for season and outside of Jenkins & Apple all question marks Listening to the Giants vs the media, Beal is not necessarily out. They can strengthen the muscles in the shoulder and use a harness. |

They can strengthen the muscles in the shoulder and use a harness. So are they not sending him to IR?? If the do the only way he gets back is if they use the designation on him and I'd have to think they'd want to hold that in case a more important player hss to go out for a period of time |

We have alot of questions about the team this year
-Did we fix our OL??
-Do we have a 2ndary outside of Collins and Jenkins??
-How will we adjust to a 3-4 being run at times??
On the other hand how can you NOT be excited with the additions of Barkley and Hernandez

Beal gone for season and outside of Jenkins & Apple all question marks Jenkins and Apple are huge question marks themselves...both quit on the team last year Normally, I would be calling for players that "quit" to be cut, but I think the circumstances of last season was a HUGE factor. I'm willing to give them a second chance. Slate is clean for everyone.....even Flowers. |

Those that are left are on a clean slate. There is definitely a better attitude toward the new season. |

I feel the team with some of the improvements they made will def win more games then last year. How many games? I’d say 8 games give or take one. I just don’t feel that they are ready for a good run yet. Some of us said it on the old board. The rebuild was going to take more then a year. I like the weapons on offense and the new o line should help but they are still holes on the team that can kill this season. That is why I really wanted the giants to trade down in the draft if they weren’t taking eli’s replacement
