I am very critical of my team, but there is no way you can objectively say the Skins are a better team than the Giants. You want to hope and pull for your squad, by all means you should. But, life on the line, you know you would choose the Giants to finish ahead of the skins. If I told you right now, Skins go 9-7, get in the play-offs as a 6th seed but lose the wild card game, you'd sign up immediately. I don't know a single Giants fan who would see that as a successful season.

I don't think so. But you Gnats fans might want to lower your expectations and accept that. You MIGHT take the first game, but it will be a long time before you beat us again. Your time is OVER. We are on the rise and just because you don't want to see it doesn't matter. You've peaked and it's all down hill from here. Opie will never see another SB. Our defense is going to eat your offense for lunch bubba. It's hard to win without scoring.

yeah, ok. first the skins were going to kick their ass, now just a few minutes later you are saying the giants might win the first game. It's ok. You guys were saying the same thing last year. The skins were going to win the opener because the Giants were not going to be prepared, all the hoopla about the Super Bowl will take their focus off the game. Giants 16, Skins 7 (and it wasn't even that close). Then the Burress thing was going to be a distraction yada yada yada, Giants 23, Skins 7.

I won't make excuses. You beat us LAST year. Being honest, you MIGHT win the first game, MIGHT. But you WON"T beat us twice and we WILL be the better team. We're getting better. What makes you think you are? Ya'll totally CHOKED at the end. Why? You were better than most of the division most of the year. What happened? You talk about our offense but the last 2 days of practice ya'll have thrown 11 INT's. Don't get your hopes up to high because the window is closing and we've caught up. You'll see...or maybe you'll stay in denial.

Oh no, they have thrown INT's in practice. Uh-oh. Better find a new QB. Fortunately, the Giants O will never have to play a defense as good as the D they are playing in training camp.

Fortunately our offensive line won't have to play a D as good as they're playing in TC.

Um, were you guys the number 1D (use any stat you want), I don't think so. Philly was far better, and our secondary/LB's are also better. Your D's strength is the Line. and that's a good thing, but to pretend that your practice is tougher than the competition you will face is flat out arrogant and ridiculous. As was said, you sound more like a Cowboys fan, than the Giants fans I used to know.(thats not a complement, but you probably take it as one.)
