Could have been 7-0 Giants, instead it's 16-0 Cowboys. Fucking hell...

Fields channeled Jay Cutler, and I'm sure the Bears fans appreciated the flashbacks that pick gave them.

Cutler was always overhated, honestly. He was the only competent QB Chicago had since the 1980's. Fields wishes he was Cutler.

I had a friendly offseason bet with one of my friends who was under the delusion that Fields would be MVP. He venmoed me the $50 today and told me he was done with the Bears entirely lmao. Poor guy is finally free.

People hated Cutler because he was a prick, not because he was a bad QB (although they may convince themselves this was the reason)

Probably not, it's the Giants. They SHOULD - they could've just drafted someone else, signed a free agent, traded for Trey Lance... all things which would've had a better result than this because they would have had more cap room. Even with comparable QB play, a few other contributors would've gone a long way.

Danny-boy's passer rating on the night was 32.4. By one point in the second half, he had the lowest non-zero rating of all time for a QB, ...8.3.

Half his contract is guaranteed money. If he keeps performing this horribly, and that "if" is certainly a possibility, that's gonna be an expensive move the Giants have to make. Honestly, he was never that good, and him conning the Giants out of that money will go down in infamy. If he retires after 2026, it'll be obvious he swindled them to give himself a huge nest egg.

It may also be because the nonexistent O-line gets him injured of course.

There's an almost entirely team-friendly out in two years, at least. The Giants gave him a "He's better than nothing contract" like Tennessee did with Tannehill. The Vikings having a much better record than they "should have" last year masked the same thing also happening with the Giants. The Giants were a legit bad team last year. They're still nowhere close to Dallas or Philly but they needed another example. Like seriously anyone who picked the Giants here was kinda dumb tbqh.

Would really help if Getsy called some plays to let Fields throw it downfield. The amount of screens was insane. You traded the first overall pick for DJ Moore (and other picks), you throw to him twice in the second quarter for 25 yards in total, and then never again. Claypool only targetted twice (and dropped one lol). Like, Fields wasn't incredible, and that pick 6 was absolutely his fault, but lets gameplan a little bit better lol.

Hopefully this is one of those week 1 overreactions, but man, both sides of the line didn't look good either. They only rushed 4 basically all game, so Love barely had to improvise and could just take as much time as he felt like. OC and DC need to bounce back, and fast.

In one game, the Giants lost by 40 points, threw 3 INTs, allowed 7 sacks, and had a blocked kick returned for a touchdown.

No other team has had all those things happen to them across an entire season combined.

Watching for Aaron Rodgers. That and I really like how refreshing the Peyton & Eli approach is.

If he does well in New Jersey, good for him. If he doesn't... I'll laugh maniacally. The Pack would've gotten a haul like the Seahawks did last year!

One would've thought they wouldn't give the Broncos ANY primetime games after last year.

When the ratings drop, they'll fire some people and hopefully do better in the future with putting good/enticing matchups at night, like tonight's is.

Last year, sub "Sean Payton" for "Russell Wilson" - there's no difference this year. The NFL should've learned their lesson last year instead of presuming one guy can resurrect a team again. Sean Payton isn't gonna make the Broncos suddenly good in such a short span of time. It's gonna take a year or two.

Definitely hurt. If the Aaron Rodgers era in NY was over before it even began, LOL.

He's played through injuries before. He could want to do it again. Thing is, he's an old man now, and even if he's only motivated by rewarding the Packers, he's probably gonna get hurt worse because the Jets lack the trustworthy O-line. He's definitely missing Bakhtiari.

That said, the Jets got a huge play and some points on the board, so not ALL is bad for them.

Rodgers is not going to play well behind a bad O-line. As he got older in GB, he would hold the ball too long, throw it away a lot. He's a perfectionist that doesn't want to throw the ball unless he's confident it can be caught. That's why his INT percentage is so low. It does make him an agonizing watch sometimes. It's like. Just make the throw! In this case, I can't blame him too much. If I recall, he had some foot/ankle problems in recent years. I wonder if he aggravated that.

Also, I'm seeing a lot of Aaron Rodgers-9/11 jokes on reddit due to this injury....I hate to admit that some of them gave me a chuckle.
