Good. I can't. Not opening day games.

.

What have you been a fan for like 20 minutes or something? There's a lot of season opening games worse than this.

We DID win the damn game. Beats the shit out of a loss.

I take my hat off to the Giants. They are a well-coached team. They commit 6 turnovers, but they keep battling back. If the Cowboys commit 6 turnovers, do you think we'd still be in the game?

I feel like the Dennis Green video where he screams about how we let them off!

I've been following the team for 18 years, so, yeah.

I think our OL will stabilize a bit once we get rid of Bernachump...Free didn't play bad at all except when he got caught off balance blocking a D-lineman and a LB that weighted 70lbs less tossed him like a salad..

We'd lie down and spread our legs like our defense did tonight.

I was surprised at how well their defense held together despite the massive time of possession advantage we had for most of the game. Looked like we were far more gassed on D than them in the 2nd half.

I saw it like the rest of you guys did. Others commented on it here too.

It looked like a well designed blitz play by the Giants

Speaking of blitz, that was beautiful by Bruce Carter when he sacked Eli. Now here comes the obvious question: why didn't we call it anymore? Like so many other good plays that are executed successfully, we don't run them anymore but that one time throughout the game.

This is like a loss to me and playing like this wont even get us 8-8 again.

Keep cheerleading though, Dbair.

I'm sure BB will post the video of the play for all to see

Nope. Now that the reg season has started, YouTube is once again automatically detecting and canceling my uploaded game clips. :-(

Then your a ******. Lost recently at NYJ, at Washington (only managed 7pts). There were those awful season opening losses in 04 and 06 when Parcells was here to Minnesota and Jacksonville

I agree. But it still feels like a loss. I'm consoling myself in that it's the Giants, and they are going to play us tough no matter what. The Giants just gives us fits. I can't wait until Coughlin is gone, because I think they'll be a different team without him.

They blitzed some other times that I saw. I think after tonight and seeing how awful the safeties were in coverage, we might see less blitzing because they need to help those guys.
