The Beast will have to wait until Sunday afternoon to watch the replay, but by all accounts, the New York Giants weren't very impressive in Saturday's 24-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Here's what folks are saying about the game this morning:

• Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPNDallas.com couldn't find a lot of positives for the Giants. And coach Tom Coughlin seemed to indicate that a few players were living off their reputations right now. I don't recall Coughlin ever reacting to a preseason loss with this much disgust. "My word is energy," Coughlin told reporters. "The defense has been more than the offense. The offense has to be methodical and has to be able to execute and to put themselves in position where plays are made. There is more needed there. Some people have to play better than they have been playing. Some people are given credit for being good football players, they got to get going. It's time to get going. Let's go."
• Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger says that Coughlin was frustrated with the Giants' lack of energy.

Tom Coughlin is just a typical overreactor who doesn't understand how preseason is supposed to work.

Vanilli?

Is that the plural form of Vanillus? More than one team has a case of vanillus.

there were a few positives. Two that stand out were the play of Corey Webster and Shaun Andrews.
