OT: Football Thread

[Hunter Gathers]

And today is exactly why Giants fans were not overly cocky/optimistic coming into this season.

And today is exactly why Giants fans were not overly cocky/optimistic coming into this season.

To be fair both Dallas and Philly are the top Superbowl favorites in the NFC to me. Only the 49'ers come close. But yeah, I was expecting a step back this year in spite of being a better team on paper. 7-10, 8-9, 9-8 at best. There are still a lot of big pieces missing before this team is ready to make the playoffs. Plus, Dallas and Philly need to lose some of their top guys to attrition somehow.

 

[ReddestRum]

After the Yankees shit themselves I've been waiting for some football, now I just want hockey and that's it.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Neal stinks.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Neal stinks.

He's getting destroyed. This is a night that even Thomas looks pedestrian.

LMAO Gano

 

[Bob Richards]

Evan Neal is Mike Kostka

It's going to take several years of drafting to erase the damage of Gettleman.

The entire team looks like crap.

 

[Bob Richards]

The O-Line is being shoveled into a graveyard. Just dreadful.

 

[ReddestRum]

What is the record for Giants getting sacked..

 

[mrmovies779]

The O-Line of the Giants is being beaten like it was a red-headed stepchild

 

[I Eat Crow]

I've literally seen nothing like this.

Hope the Rangers there are taking notes on how not to play.

 

[ReddestRum]

This is the worst f***ing thing I've seen in my life concerning football.

 

[Bob Richards]

Why the f*** is Daniel Jones still in this game

 

[mas0764]

Daniel Jones getting beat to his 5 and 7 step drops practically.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Somehow I think the Jets might do even worse tomorrow night.


Jets have a habit of humiliating themselves in prime time .

 

[Bob Richards]

Unbelievably bad. One of the worst games I have ever seen this team play.

That genuinely looked like our brief Mike Glennon era in 2021.

 

[bbny]

Evan Neal looks like a bust. Complete unfettered access on the right side.

Not possible. The Giants basically pulled down their pants and took a dump on the field. Possibly the most disgraceful performance in team history. The entire organization should be ashamed.

 

[LionsHeart]

There’s no team that played worse than The Giants yesterday. That was complete and total beat down.

Evan Neal looks like a total bust, and as much as I believe in Daboll, the team didn’t look ready to play and he kept Jones in way too long.

 

[Barnaby]

DJ’s contract has shades of Mark Sanchez second contract.

That butt fumble might be coming and day now.

 

[Machinehead]

I don't love the way this team prepared in the preseason.

I think back to the last game where the Jets were out there with all of their starters like it was the Superbowl and the Giants were still playing a team of backups.

Last night, they looked like a team that hadn't played, because they haven't played. You need reps.

I'm not saying I expect to beat Dallas but there's no excuse for how lopsided that game was. 40-0 was probably generous.

 

[Bob Richards]

Once again for the billionth season in a row it looks like we are going to suffer at both sides of the line.

Can’t protect our QB. Can’t pressure the other teams QB.

I couldn’t stop noticing Evan Neal who was basically an elderly Walmart Greeter behind automatic sliding doors.

Kayvon Thibodeaux might as well have not even played.

 

[GAGLine]

Last night was embarrassing. We looked great on that first drive until the penalty, then everything fell apart. You couldn't have scripted a worse performance.

The only good thing, besides the tailgate, was getting to bed at a reasonable time because we left early.

It looked like it was pouring on TV. Hope the tailgate equipment at least stayed dry.

Hey the snoopy bowl is a big deal to us. But didn't the giants play starters in week 2?

For a bit, but I don't think the number of reps or the gravity behind them were appropriate.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a criticism of the Jets. I'm not going to be sour grapes over a preseason results. All I'm saying is, they looked very prepared for that game and came out with a high level of intensity. It was the right thing to do.

I never felt we had a true dress rehearsal like that. I know you don't want guys to get hurt but that display last night was clear lack of preparation.
