Gameday Chatter Thread | Week 1, 2015 Season | Giants at Cowboys | 9/13/2015

Need a Falcons upset tonight. The next six weeks are going to be brutal.

I agree with Marshall Faulk. The run pass ratio was ridiculous tonight

45 passes to 23 runs.

That shit didn't get us anywhere for 7 years. Last year we leaned on the running game and we were legit Super Bowl contenders.

We're back-sliding into the life of sin.

The ratio didn't bother me as much as it seemed we just didn't seem confident in what we were doing.

The moral to the story is sometimes you just have to wait and see how things are gonna turn out. Lots of jawboning on this thread.

So wait through 59 minutes of bullshit by an incompetent coach to see 1 minute of brilliance by your QB? Ya, that's been a bit of a running theme around here for years.

You didn't see "59 minutes of incompetence" -- time for a hyperbole claim.

If he watched last night's cowboys game he did.

You're, right...the D was solid. What was our time of possession? Just subtract a minute ff that for a more accurate level of incompetence.

I should know better by now but turned it off when they got the first down inside the 5 yard line.

I did the same thing during last year's NFC Championship Game. I turned the game off early in the 4th qtr. I missed the Seahawks miracle comeback.

Well a lot of that was the last 2 drives I'm sure.

Yep. I already acknowledged that fact.

I thought the Cowboys were way too conservative in the first half. They were moving the ball but they weren't challenging the Giants down field.

I'm not talking about throwing deep bombs play after play. But I wanted to see more passes that traveled at least 15 yards in the air.

No good teams have ever struggled out of the gate with new personnel before.

How quick we are to throw Scott Linehan's offense under the bus as incompetent.

I agree. Like I said to booze, they were intent on proving they could run the ball. But it quickly became clear after the early mistakes that they were getting in their own heads and needed to put up points. Plus, it was a little stubborn to say "We'll run it just the same even without Murray." However, big difference between having complaints and crying incompetence. We did score 21 points in he second half.

We won a key division game against the always pesky Eli Manning and the Giants.

Everything sucks! Everyone is incompetent!

We need execute better, yes..... Let's leave the exaggeration behind. Those expecting us to shoot right out the gates like the 2007 New England Patriots are disappointed... oh well.

 

[Smitty]

I wouldn't have guessed McFadden finished with only 2.7 ypc.

 

[1bigfan13]

This game has already been designated as one of this week's NFLN "NFL Replay" games.

Seems like every Giants game from the past few years has ended up on Replay.

I don't need to see a 30 point blowout, I need to see preparation.

I want WRs who can catch and not fumble it when they do, guys who don't get retarded personal fouls when trying to get a stop and the ball back, a coach who doesn't challenge plays in the first 5 minutes when replay clearly shows you're wrong and you have time to see it, and a coach who doesn't just smile and clap his hands on the sidelines when the retarded shit is happening.

 

[1bigfan13]

My favorite whipping boy (Mo Claiborne) actually played well yesterday. I thought for sure he'd get picked on but I didn't hear his name once.

I'll take that.

I don't think that makes it "incompetence." If it does, what does that say about Coughlin, who was not short on offensive weapons himself and yet despite being handed 17 points, only had his offense put up 9 more?

Incompetence? Outcoached by Garrett?

If this becomes habitual for the rest of the season, then maybe it's incompetence... But as of right now it looks a lot like early season rust just like last season.

If so, that's simply a byproduct of coach policy to rest the starters in the preseason. Which I may not agree with but I don't think it's incompetence either.

Huge boost if he can simply remain invisible all season.
