'Bring the Pain' Stepping away from the panic button, slowly

And despite doing a great job in the slot, ARE really did F it up for me us on the reverse. Just throw it away. Even though he almost had 100 yds, none were game changers.

The loss of yards on the reverse was huge. We just had an almost 40 yard run. Momentum was going, we answers the g-men, and BAM typical ARE fuck up.

Is it my imagination, or is ARE afraid to get hit? It seems like he drops and rolls up fetal when a possible collision presents itself.

He still thinks he's a QB. Old habits die hard.

As long as he gets a first down, that's cool with me. Maybe Santana can take notes.

I don't mind that actually.

He's a small receiver and his objective is basically just to sit in between two zones and take the open space given to him.

With the zone defense a defender is never too far away so he knows just to get down and move the chains for the next play. He's playing within the realm of his talents so I don't mind that he's not trucking people over after the catch.

Same, it might be a b%*ch move but he should play to his strengths.

+1

Zorn playcalling was scary bad and confusing

1st down runs over and over again

The WCO is supposed to be pass 1st offense

what happened to passing to score running to win

running unsuccessfully on 1st down when its a fairly commonly held belief that 1st down is the easiest down to pass is crazy to me especially when JC was having success passing

Zorn gets a big thumbs down in game 1

Regarding the ARE botched play, I really don't have an issue with the call, but I do with the execution. ARE is a vet, he has to be smarter than that. He had plenty of time to throw the ball away. Dumb, dumb, play on his part. No excuses.

Absolutely - Was not a fan of the call but would have been perfectly willing to jump on the bandwagon if it worked. As I was watching it, I just kept thinking, "throw it away, throw it away".

ARE is one of those guys who just frustrates me (and many others I'm sure). On one hand, I think he is a great slot/mid-range receiver who seems to have a knack for finding the open space. At the same time, once he gets the ball in his hands, he always seem to by trying to hit a home run rather than just taking the yards being given - often causing him to actually lose yards already gained. (Maybe he was one of the guy Cooley and Portis were refering to in their "just do your job" comments).

I dont see how you can be disappointed by losing to one of the best teams in the NFL on the road in opening game when you didnt play your best. I think we got the effort we deserved, we were no better than a B. We had two redzone stops that coulda taken us out of the game, and holding them was good to watch.

Who knows how good the Giants are. They could go 8-8 this year. They finished 1-3 last year.
