We recapped the loss in the previous post. Some items which Bruce R provides additional comment… Dan Duggan and the Giants beat reporters are all focusing (wrongly) on the Giants not activating a second kicker this week given Gano’s groin injury. Meh. He pulled a hammy chasing the opening kick return. Injuries happen. It’s not like they passed up Field Goal opportunities and … [Read more...] about Guest Post- WAS 21 NYG 18

I thought … [Read more...] about MIN 28 NYG 6
Final Thoughts Before Week 1
Predictably, Saquon Barkley had a great game in his first outing with the Eagles. Other than him playing in the Giants’ division, WHO CARES? That ship sailed. We said in November 2017 when Barkley was playing for Penn State that it was a mistake to draft this guy. It was, is and always be a mistake. At that time, Wonder told me that the only team it may have made sense for him … [Read more...] about Final Thoughts Before Week 1
