The early o/u was 44 so I jumped on it. It seems too good to be true. It probably means it will go under

Not Lions related but Ten damn near as a pick em against Washington was my lock bet.

I hope we win but Bill shut Goff down in the Super Bowl. Sooner or later our offense has to cool off. I sure hope not. I fear Bill will jam it down our throats 40 plus times. Then we have the other fear a crappy rookie Could light us up.

 

[biggunsbob]

Giants pushing Packers. Good coaching works.

 

[gotime909]

I have a feeling the defense finally somewhat shows up but the offense sputters because why not

Yup I can see it.

 

[biggunsbob]

Freaking Giants are going win unless they get a miracle now....shutout Green Bay in the second half.
Why can't we get coaching like this?

Have you seen our offense?

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Oruwariye and Harris benched.

Looks like that?s the shake up on defense. AO has been bad, and Harris has been ineffective at best.

Going to see Jacobs and Lucas today.

Hopefully the D shows up in the offense continues to roll. But, there is no way they will be able to keep up the 35 point per game performances. If I?m not mistaken, that would be the greatest office of all time.

Zappe sets a nfl rookie record and throws for 560 yards. We lose.

[mhughes0021]

The analytics say Dan campbell is an idiot.

 

[biggunsbob]

Have you seen our offense?

I'm talking about the defense. You know why we have 3 losses. Come on . With just a little coaching we could be 2-2 or 3-1.. Giants new coach already has 4 wins. I'm just frustrated as heck..

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Wonder what that injury is. That contact looked pretty normal.

Pretty sure offense is the result of coaching, as well.

Knee, who was that?

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Knee, who was that?

Savion Smith.

Knee injuries don?t typically require a stretcher and an ambulance.

I could be wrong.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Anzelone made a play IN COVERAGE!!

 

[masterscorpio77]

Was that Anzalone actually making a play? That is a new one.
