So, who wants to take the first shot at a game day thread?

Whoever does - be ready to start up for 3 weeks.   @NYG @JAX vs. NYJ.  
 

Nothing is a given but we’ll be rightful favorites to start week 1-3; 3-0 could be very real this season; first time in a while that could be said with anything but blind homer optimism.

My random thought is that Montee Ball, who lasted two years in Denver before washing out of the league, is either an idiot or intentionally trying to jinx you guys on Sunday.

Former Broncos running back Montee Ball is among those dismissing the Giants, claiming over the weekend that Denver will blow the doors off New York with ease.

 

“Giants should be a walk. A cakewalk,” Ball told Broncos Breakdown. “We should go into New York and obviously come out with a W there.”

So if Week 1 does go our way, just remember who gave the Giants some prime bulletin board material.

For the first time in years I'm thinking the term "on any given Sunday" might actually apply to this team.

Ball is the latest in a long line of talking heads writing off our team before the season's even begun.

Not disrespecting the Broncos, but they won five games last year. They're not in a position to look at anybody on their schedule and say "oh, that's an easy W."

How many players on your roster even know who Montee Ball is? "Hey guys - guess what this 2nd round bust that had 5 TD's for the Broncos from 2013-2014 just said about us! Let's go kick their butt!!"

I am sure some ex-player in the history of the New York Giants has said that they will handily beat the Broncos on Sunday. 

Your leaders need to receive some serious leadership training if this is what is required to get your guys pumped for Sunday.

yeah, if the giants need bulletin board material all they need to do is consume absolutely any preseason NFL coverage or predictions lol

You know you don’t have to care about this stuff, right? It’s not like you’re on the team being personally disrespected. People don’t believe in the Giants because your OL sucks, your QB sucks and the franchise hasn’t been relevant since the Obama administration (just like us). It’s what it is.

The new TV deal money is showing how much of a bargain extensions done even 3-4 months ago will look going forward.   
 

Remember when ppl suggested Von wasn’t worth 16M (the amount saved under discussion) and saying he should agree to a pay cut? 


TJ Watt is a far better player to invest in because of the stage of career he’s at - but 4/112M and 3/80 fully guaranteed, easy to see why Miller’s camp told Paton to pound sand and Paton rightfully acquiesced.  The new pay scale of top pass rushers getting over 25-28M is the new standard    We are already seeing 35-40M as the QB extension bar (which you pay for elite guys like Mahomes & Allen - not guys like Baker but that’s the bar).    And likely only going to go up with the increasing revenues from the 2022 TV deals.  

The crazy part?   Watt likely left money on the table.   The next couple of offseasons are going to be eye opening for what constitutes market value for top players.
