If Flowers is struggling, that is really, really bad news for the Giants. They need him to be a player in the worst kind of way. Their OLine is not good.

it looked good tonight. they are going to be excellent on offense. the right side of jerry and newhouse is nothing great on paper but they have so many weapons. Opening night is going to be one of those great cowboys giants games. i hope elliot is healthy/

I agree that their offense is going to be good. Maybe very good. If their OLine comes together, it could be tough to stop.

IMO, the only thing that hurts their offense is their somewhat less than stellar running game. If they got that going, they might be the best O in the league.

Their defense will be better but still won't be great, IMO. Big free agency binges rarely end up that way.

I can't wait to watch that game either. Elliott should be there. It is going to be fun.

Not if Eli continues to throw his usual amount of int's year in and year out.

Eli's interceptions dropped dramatically when they switched offensive coordinators and went to a quick passing game.

Edit: And getting OBJ didn't hurt either.

my question about the giants is not about the team. I think they are extremely talented and motivated.

I wonder how the head coach handles the media when adversary hits. The yankees and mets will not be in the playoffs so the giants will be the only show in town for awhile. Everybody reacts to it differently. When the NyY media unloads on them for something if the head coach can not handle it, it can affect everything.

That's true... and I don't think they'll get their run game as good as it needs to be in order for them to be among the best offenses.

Still, that passing game is gonna be a ***** to stop.

As in last 2 years, 32 games - 28 int's.

Over the past 2 years his interception percentage is 2.3 which is not terrible. Especially when you consider he's thrown 65 TDs over the same stretch.
