The way we are playing it is hard to feel confident we will definitely win. It always feels like it could go either way. Unless our defense improves it is going to feel this way each week, at least for me

I agree some of it is correctable...

Sure, but I don't think they would have been satisfied allowing 103 points. Basically 34 points per game. It also impoetant how the team plays.

I understand that, but don't forget how they completely turned it around last year. It can be done.

I agree. We could win or lose this...or possibly tie. We could win by lots or just scrape by...or maybe they will torch us or it could be a close game...

It's a case of bald people with long hair and 6'4" dwarves

Re: Week 4 vs NYG

I think we finally put it together defensively because if DA is half-way smart he'll go back to pre season defense when Crawley and Lattimore and Williams looked great and add in a lot of blitzes.

My initial thought about this game: You can forget about establishing the run. There won’t be any running on Damon Harrison, Dalvin Tomlinson and BJ Hill.

Snacks is a monster.
They also have Alec Ogletree. Very athletic LB.

Avoid Jenkins and we will be fine.

It can, especially because a lot of it seems to be confusion and communication

Exactly! The talent is absolutely there. It has always been said that the most important factor to a successful secondary is communication. Complexity can lead to a lack of communication. Every player has to be on exactly the same page or it makes all of them look bad. It's not always the fault of the defender that's chasing the wide open opponent down the field.

Giants vs. Saints: First look at Sunday’s matchup

A shootout. That is what we have come to expect when the New York Giants and the New Orleans Saints play each other. The last time the teams met, in 2016, was an aberration as the Giants eked out a 16-13 victory.

In four matchups prior to that dating back to 2009, one of the two teams always surpassed the 40-point mark, with the score twice getting into the 50s. The wildest was, of course, the Saints’ last-second 52-49 victory in 2015.

Will this one be another high-scoring affair?

Well, the Saints are second in the league in scoring at 34.7 points per game. Quarterback Drew Brees is completing an unbelievable 80.6 percent of his passes and is in the process of re-writing the NFL’s career passing record book.

The Giants haven’t scored 30 or more points in a game since the final game of Tom Coughlin’s career as the team’s coach — 37 games ago, including the playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Giants, though, played their best offensive football in a long, long time in Sunday’s 27-22 victory the Houston Texans, sparking optimism that the 30-point streak will soon fall.
