You're right and that's a fair point, but with parity making every team so equal talent-wise, one blown call is all it takes to wreck a whole season.

Honestly, I think this is a terrible idea. Every time a DB is getting burned he's going to interfere for a 15 yarder instead of a 40 yarder.

Trade Nassib for a second and use the pick to draft a franchise quarterback.

We see games lost every week by shitty calls from officials. Why doesn't the NFL just let EVERY call be reviewable? Why is it that a pass interference call, which could easily be reviewed by someone upstairs, isn't reviewable? Or a holding call? Whether its due to the speed of the game or because the refs are really that bad, officiating is TERRIBLE in this league, and I honestly don't get why some calls are reviewable but "judgement" calls aren't. At the end of the day, aren't most calls "judgement" calls? Give teams 3 challenges, and every time they win one they get to keep it. Yeah, you'd have to tack another 30 minutes or so onto every game, but if it fixes the shitty officiating I'd be 100% ok with that.

If we have a shitty season it WILL be interesting to see how that unfolds. I think Coughlin is a really good coach... I mean, the guy won with Mark Brunell and Rob Johnson as his quarterbacks. With last year's shitty roster he still managed to milk 7 wins out of the season, and the team clearly never gave up on him. Reese, on the other hand, has gotten us one starter each from the 2010-2012 drafts... that's fucking embarrassing bad. At the same time, Reese is Coughlin's boss, so it'd be to see interesting who's got Mara's ear.

I'm starting to seriously doubt PFFs ratings. They still had Walton graded low this preseason, but the eye test said he did pretty well. Meanwhile, they had Schwarz rated high.

Right? Last time I was at the stadium, they had to remind you that "this trip to the red zone brought to you by Heinz red zone." Because as we all know, there was no Red Zone before Heinz.

That IS fucking bold.

What the fuck is Schwarz doing... he should be REHABBING HIS TOE, not writing articles!

I could see any or all of these happening, except the JPP season. I just have a funny feeling he's going out like Nicks.

Well, its that time of year again. The time to make our bold predictions on how the Giants season will play out. I mean, honestly, I guess most of you can just skip this. Number one, you're too big of pussies to put your money where your mouth is, and number two, I'm never wrong in my predictions anyway, so why bother trying to compete, right? Still, I hope some of you at least try to make this interesting. So anyways, on to my bold predictions for this season. 1. The Giants are going to have a winning season. Yeah, that's right bitches, you heard it here first. We're going 9-7 this year, if not 10-6. It might not be good enough for a playoff berth, but it'll be good enough for contract extensions to those Giants regulars you know and love like Eli Manning, Tom Coughlin, and Jerry Reese. Plus, Eli Manning only plays well once very four seasons, so he's right on schedule. 2. The offense is going to be pretty bad until October. Remember how long it took that Steve Spagnuolo guy to mold that top-ranked defense? Yeah, that was with about 5% roster turnover. The Giants have something like 40 new guys on the team, and its going to take a while for them to learn a new system. Expect bad things in September before the boys get the hang of it. That being said... 3. We'll finally have a running game. Expect McAdoo to lean on the three-headed monster of Jennings, Williams, and Peyton Hillis for the first few weeks of the season while the O-line gets used to each other and their new assignments. 4. This will be a typical Giants season in that we'll come out of the gate quickly (record-wise), then falter down the stretch. Our defense will keep us alive in the first third of the season, but then with a murderer's row of games in October against the Eagles, Cowboys, Colts, Seahawks, and Niners, we'll be falling to below .500 in a hurry. However, the offense will be coming alive at just the right time... its just that our competition will be that much tougher. 5. DRC will be everything he was advertised as. We're going to have a shut-down corner this season. Belee - dat.

Don't be. He'll drop as many passes as he catches.

I heard they'll be lining him up in the slot quite a bit so he's against Thurmond instead of DRC.

I don't remember him particularly standing out, but I LOVED what I read about him knowing all about the history of the New York Giants. He certainly wants it.

Can't wait to watch Schwarz suck in week 8! Preseason just wasn't enough for me!

Well... when everyone picks them for 4-12, we end up 11-5 and get into the playoffs.

Dude... a professional, grown-assed man is dropping ecstasy? WTF?

Is he any good?

Man, if only.

Yeah... but did they get their inspiration from a sweet piece of machinery like THIS?

Looks about right. Our defense might keep us alive but this offense is going to take at least till October to look better than Pop Warner.

Exactly. You presumably have Beatty, but if he plays like Will Beatty you'd expect someone of the Martin, Pugh, and Brown trio to pan out. In the meantime, you put the loser out at RT and possibly G. Then you have Walton and Richburg battle it out in the middle with Schwarz. Solid players on the line, and good depth along with some friendly competition to keep everyone feisty. For the record... Beckham might turn out to be awesome. But its just frustrating.

I'd take Rich Seubert 2.0 in a heartbeat. 10 years of near Pro Bowl play on three spots on the line would be fine with me.

Honestly, why the fuck we didn't pick Zack Martin is beyond me.

That's what the Giants like to call... foreshadowing.
