gotta say though guys out of Webb and Lauletta I thought Lauletta looked better what do you think guys? I really liked Saquon's Opening run and I think this Offensive and Defensive line has room to improve but I saw some good things there.

Carl Banks on the best player of the game...the punter.

Tell you this the Giants secondary looks bad 1st 2nd and 3rd team the third string QB came in and looks no different then Mayfield. Yeah they were torched! Not saying Mayfield won't be good but he just got more of the same tonight as he did in college guys running 5-6 yards open.

I think there were good things in this game and some bad things. Just remember guys its the first of preseason The Browns went undefeated last preseason. I recall years where we were undefeated and sucked in the regular season and vice versa so I don't put too much stock in the preseason play People keep saying this, but preseason PLAY and preseason RECORDS are 2 completely different things. Records mean absolutely nothing in the preseason, but you can gauge how a team plays. Game 1 was not kind to this teams overall play. They look like a 3-13 team.

Question I noticed a lot of passes and check downs to RBs just watching the game cast. Is it because the play was designed that way,were there open guys downfield or was just simply the receivers not getting open.Did notice Lauletta going to the receivers more,but kinda ties in to my other observation (without actually seeing for myself,I need some actual eyes)is that after Odell and Sheppard we might actually be worse than last year depth wise(still dont know why Latiner seemingly didnt play)

Yeah 39 yds for his first NFL touch is not too shabby...even in a preseason game against the first defensive unit

Yeah 39 yds for his first NFL touch is not too shabby...even in a preseason game against the first defensive unit In case anyone is interested. The best first preseason play by a Giants RB was Rodney Hampton taking it the length of the field for a TD on his first touch as a rookie.

Let me ask you this. When has an Eli Manning led preseason team looked good? Not great, just good? Answer: Never.
No way in hell I'm reading into this game.
Obviously 1 game, the 1st preseason game with a new offense, new HC, new GM, whole new organization basically, on 2 series doesnt mean much, but you would prefer to see something better than what we just saw. I mean, the Browns looked better on all sides of the ball tonight. 1s v 1s, 2s v 2s ect. The C-RG situation looks very concerning. The DB depth looks very concerning.

I wish I could revive that Baker thread I made last year on the old board. 90% of the people said I was crazy that he was the best QB in the draft. He is legit. What poise he showed. His TD passes were ridiculous, just like in college.

Collins is the leader of the D By default. The D looks exactly how we said they would the first day this board opened. Tough vs run, and weak vs pass. But I didn't know that the pass defense would look this bad. ( yes I did) This offense is going to have to score 27+ points a game to have a chance to win. Maybe 30+ points, no joke.
I thought the defense was in jeopardy way before I actually saw this debacle. Practice starts early Saturday lot of work to do.

There was a rumour the only QB the Giants would consider drafting of the 4 was Mayfield and when he was taken first they grabbed Barkley. I suppose will never know who would of happened had Mayfield been available when we picked. But hey we got a bright future with A. Tanney do no worries!!

and only two years removed from being such a stingy D giving up almost nothing each game which is why they won 11 games

It's the same ritual we go through every preseason. The team looks awful and we all rationalize that it doesn't mean anything.
Well we've sucked for 5 years now. I would really like to see us play well in a preseason game for a change. Just show us something Giants......Anything!

I was one of the folks who agreed he was the best of the bunch but wanted to trade down. I would have been ok with taking him at 2 if it had happened, however.

I will say it again. First game handing out and taking shots. Rookies feeling the speed of the game for the first time, veterans adjusting what used to be natural in their role within not only a new system but very different. Let these guys get their feet underneath them. The game tends to slow down after the first couple of weeks of contact. This week will be good for the Giants. They will be practicing in Detroit against guys who aren’t their brothers. Next week things should start to come together a bit more for the first unit.
This was a good start imo. Some positives to build off of and plenty of easily correctable mistakes to keep em all honest.
Bring on the LIONS.

I mean...shouldn't this be true for all teams?
