“That’s a legit defense that’s given me fits in the past and a lot of people some headaches,” Carr said. “I’m definitely happy to get something positive out of it, but they were vanilla. They’re not going to show anything now. Not in the preseason.”

“Their defense was very vanilla,” O’Hara said.

They’ve shown they know when to turn it on and crank it up.

“When you win 16 regular-season games, I don’t see how you can question that.” O'Hara said.

The pessimists will never comprehended that.

I've had people tell me they're worried how slow and lethargic we looked last night and feel it will carry on into the regular season.

Astute observers might notice that when BB asked for a 3 and out, he got it. The D was playing a situational vanilla game, more for analysis by the staff than anything else. Winning is very nice, but knowing that your players can follow instructions and act according to developments on the field is far more important in the pre-season. There was a lot to like this pre-season, if you know what to look for.

Respects,

The Giants know the Pats better than some of its fans do

I've said it before and I'll say it again-our D's going to kickazz this season-mark it down.

Good comments. The Jags fanbase has their fair share of those who believe the sky if falling based on preseason, so I udnerstand where you guys are coming from about pessimists.

we have too much talent and too many good defensive pieces added to be that bad.

Respects,

Exactly. first drive no stops. Next drive BB sends the starters back out and gets a 3 and out.

They're clearly mistaken, the Pats are screwed. A competitive guy like Belichick doesn't want to lose at anything, he would never put up with losing a preseason game. Why can't people just understand that this defense is done?

Exactly-what you see now is NOT what you'll get

By the title of the thread I was hoping that it was how the Giants' players were saying how terrible the D looked. Bring on the bulletin board material!
