    I know that this is a horrific day for us, but I have a lot of obligations this weekend and won't be posting that much. Want to start this thread early to get your guys opinions on how you think your team will do this Season and what you think about the Giants chances of making the playoffs.

    The Giants will have a shot in the NFC East. Everyone gas weaknesses but if the Giants learn to win games they should why not 10-6?

    Giants back in the playoffs this year at 10-6 or possibly 11-5

    Wow a lot of optimism, hope you guys are right. OBJ and Cruz should make an impact plus the Off Season signings. Something to look forward to along with the Yanks pushing for a Wildcard.

    I'm for the G-men and let's hope the OL protects Eli...........God help them that they fail to do so.

    I am cautious. No prognostication on what their record will be.

    ...Bo Jackson, still the greatest all around athlete I've ever seen...and along with Barry Sanders, the greatest running back I've ever seen.

    All things equal and no long term injuries to offensive stars, if the Giants tighten up their defense I think they'll win the division.

    The Jets are kinda the reverse story.
    They should have a pretty good defense but will they have a consistent offense...?
    My opinion, not having a top flight QB has been their biggest problem and preventing them from taking the next step being a bona fide playoff team.

    Nice Ron!

    Broncos get an early win for the rookie qb.

    The Raiders came back to beat New Orleans 35-34. Ron will be happy. Now off to watch The Giants.

    Nice win for the Giants of course it had to come down to the last second. The Defense looks the same as last year letting them score on almost every drive, but a win is a win.

    It was great to see Cruz back. Game winning TD catch on top of it.

    interesting day. Manning and A-Rodgers both 3 TD days, Carr to Cooper most impressive game of the day; will out perform Eli to Beckham this year, IMO, any takers....?

    RGIII gets sacked 3 times for 22 yrds, no TD by arm or foot, one INT to show for the day. The Browns don't realize they can't build a masterpiece out of a disastrous roster, or coaching staff.

    No one here I know gives a shit that L.A. gets the rams back ie lambs.
    Fisher's lost the capability to guide a team, let alone drive one, with a stellar 27-36-1 record, a change in venue won't turn a lamb into a ram...

    Yes. A win is a win. Something the Giants have not been able to do on the road for awhile.
    Giant D gave up yards but shut down Mr. Bryant thanks to his not holding a TD catch.
    AND HE WANTS THE RULE TO CHANGE...........JUST FOR HIM! Lmao
