The last thing the Giants need is to start this season like they did last season. Monday night's effort in Detroit didn't exactly calm many nerves on that front.
Maybe the Giants could have used more preseason reps. Then again, maybe those would not have been enough, either, given the poor matchup against the Lions.
Some Jets homer implied that Geno Smith is better than Eli Manning based on their Week 1 performances. You can't deal with these people, so I merely report them to you.
Even when the Giants finally scored their first touchdown, they needed four plays to reach the end zone from a yard out. And that was one of the highlights.
The New York Giants were doomed for failure in 2013 by starting the season with an 0-6 record. In 2014, there are plenty of new faces in the fold, but Big Blue once again laid an egg on opening day, losing to Detroit 35-14 in a Monday Night Football dud.
Stafford improvised brilliantly on two early touchdown passes to Johnson, and Detroit beat the New York Giants 35-14 on Monday night.
A loss in the opening week of the season can be a lot more important for teams that are not established. The Giants should have an opportunity to learn a bit more about their identity in their opener tonight against Detroit.
Let the Giants season begin. How it ends, nobody knows. But starting off with a win would bring a lot of peace to a lot of minds, not the least of which belongs to Tom Coughlin.
New York Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo is heading into the regular season under the microscope.
Since the opening of training camp, the Giants have been boasting that their defense has the potential to be one of the NFL's best. Antrel Rolle & Co. are going to get a chance prove it Monday.
The consensus seems to be the Giants are rancid and the Jets are rising. In Wall Street vernacular, the world is bullish on the Jets, but bears on the Giants. But haven't we heard this before?
The Detroit Lions and the New York Giants are polar opposites when comparing NFL franchises.
"I think this is a make-or-break year for Eli. If he has another season like he had last year, this could be really it for him in New York."
The Giants' opener in Detroit next Monday night shouldn't make or break their season. But Victor Cruz doesn't see it that way.
Jerry Recco got his Tuesday morning update started with the scoop from the Giants, as Eli Manning sounds like he is fired up for their Monday night matchup in Detroit against the Lions.
The New York Giants have placed one-time Super Bowl hero Mario Manningham and free agent signee Trindon Holliday on injured reserve in reaching the 53-man roster limit.
Eli Manning and the New York Giants have a lot of work to do before their regular-season opener next Monday night in Detroit. Their 5-0 preseason record doesn't even begin to tell their story.
In any other year, Tom Coughlin wouldn't be happy playing an extended preseason schedule.
"Got some kinks to work out," Richardson said. "You can notice that stuff, little stuff like that. It's to the point where he don't trust his offensive line that much, 'cause he's watching the rush."
At the risk of redundancy, we enter another NFL season with a decorated quarterback trying to prove himself. Evidently, two Super Bowl rings don't ring as loudly as they used to.
After missing the playoffs the past two seasons, Tom Coughlin and the New York Giants aren't one of the morning-line favorites to get back to the postseason.
With two weeks left until the regular-season opener in Detroit on Sept. 8, the Giants' new offense is struggling, and two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning does not look comfortable.
The Giants have one thing they can feel very good about. It's the division they call home, the NFC East.
Geno Smith and Michael Vick each threw touchdown passes with the New York Jets' starting offense, and the defense mostly shut down Eli Manning before the Giants' backups rallied for a 35-24 preseason victory Friday night.
Rex Ryan has not-so-fond memories of the last time the Jets faced the Giants. Well, other than winning a preseason game that earned his team a Snoopy-topped bronze trophy.
