New York Giants - Los Angeles Rams Pre-Game Discussion
I want a good "complementary" team effort.
-----------
I have the Rams D
I think I win either way unless Giants lose in a shootout - LOL
-----------
we are due
for an embarassing home blowout...
----------
Expect a long day for Eli Apple guarding Sammy Watkins.
And a career day for Gurley. I hope our OL offers up some resistance to Donald. Give Eli at least a couple of seconds to chuck and duck.
-----------
Could be an ugly one
Bad uneven matchups on both sides of the ball. This one could turn into
a blowout.
---------
No love lost between these two I expect them to give a good effort I just don't think the offense can do enough even with a mistake turnover free game form us the defense will wear down I can see us getting beat over the top early .
The Rams can and will score we won't be able to match .
Just hope Eli doesn't get killed . It could get ugly and be
easy Ram victory say 31-10 or coming off the bye desperate
to save face they can pull off an upset .
I just don't see it . The Jack Rabbit suspension to me says a lot about how this team feels about MacHandley. JJ is a great player humble and not a guy I would consider a shit starter .

BBV staff picks, predictions: Will the Giants win on Sunday?
by Ed Valentine
Do your Big Blue View staff writers think the
New York Giants can win on Sunday when they face the
Los Angeles Rams? Let’s take a look.
Chris Pflum
Things aren't pretty around Giants' land.
The defense flashes dominance but can't sustain it. At least some players seem frustrated and certainly undisciplined, and are playing well below their collective talent level.
On the other side of the ball, the offense is still broken.
Evan Engram appears to be a developing stud, and while Eli has been efficient, he hasn't been effective. The offensive system is stagnant and effectively predictable (though there has been some more variation in formation and grouping this season), regardless of who is calling the plays. And it certainly seems like the vultures are circling over Ben McAdoo's head.
All in all, I'm not sure if this is one of the the most talented "bad" teams I can remember, or one of the worst-playing "good" teams.
As for this week's game against the Los Angeles Rams, were the Giants healthy, I think they could get a win -- they had the talent to do so. Unfortunately, the Giants are going to be missing some of their most talented players,
Justin Pugh,
Weston Richburg,
Olivier Vernon, and
B.J. Goodson have yet to practice after the bye week (as I write this), and
Janoris Jenkins is suspended.
As well, if they have proven one thing this season it is that as soon as it looks as though they will right the ship, they will figure out another way to capsize it.
They might be able to eke out a win, but it's probably more likely that this game will likely follow the now-familiar script of being close, until it isn't.
Final score: Rams 28, Giants 13
Kevin Haswell
The Rams are averaging 30.3 points per game this season, while the Giants have been unable to put up 30 points once. This game is a mismatch for New York, especially when their offense is out on the field. Giants will keep it close for a quarter but fall late.
Final score: Rams 35, Giants 24
Mike Gallop
To think back to last year at this time, projecting the Rams to be 5-2 and Gmen 1-6 this year would've been insane. And yet, here we are. McAdoo just seems like a coordinator to me, and it's obvious he does not have this locker room. I made a lot of jokes about the "TankJets" in the preseason, but now I'm totally in for a rebuild and high draft pick moving into 2018. Plus, it appears the Rams have the better QB this year (SAD EMOJI).
Final score: Rams 28, Giants 17
Dan Pizzuta
For those not paying super close attention to the rest of the league this season, the Los Angeles Rams are good. Not even like in a pleasant surprise, better than expected way. The Rams are legitimately good. They’re second in DVOA behind the Pittsburgh Steelers and have the second-best point differential in the league behind the Philadelphia Eagles by just two points.
The offense has vastly improved under Sean McVay and both Jared Goff and Todd Gurley appear much closer to their potentials than they were during the 2016 season. Under Wade Phillips, the defense has turned into a top-5 unit. For the Rams to only be favored by 3.5 points, even on the road really underrates them as a team.
The Giants, meanwhile, still have issues on defense both on and off the field and the offense keeps getting more injured -- the big one this week is Justin Pugh will be out. This Giants team struggled against the Seattle Seahawks after seemingly figuring some things out against the Denver Broncos. This Rams team -- as a whole -- is a better version of the Seahawks right now.
Final score: Rams 24, Giants 13
Valentine’s View
There is absolutely no reason to think the Giants will win on Sunday.
Odell Beckham Jr. and
Brandon Marshall are on IR. Weston Richburg and Justin Pugh won’t play. The defense will be missing Olivier Vernon, B.J. Goodson,
Jonathan Casillas and Janoris Jenkins. The Giants have spent the week mired in controversy surrounding the suspension of Jenkins. The Rams average 14 points more per game and have something to play for. The 1-6 Giants? They’d like to see the season end already.
And yet ...
The Rams are a young team. They have a young quarterback. They have the league’s youngest head coach. They won four games last season and haven’t had a winning record since 2003. Being where they are right now is heady stuff, and sometimes growing up as a team includes some self-inflicted wounds.
The Giants are a mess and shouldn’t win this game. We all know that. The Rams know it, too. That’s a big part of the reason why I think the Giants actually will win on Sunday.
Final score: Giants 24, Rams 20
----------
Giants win....less again
I cannot envision Giants scoring more than 20 points. Rams are bound to at least score 20-30 points my prediction Giants 10-27 Rams
----------
I dont see giants scoring more than a TD
The offense was bad before and its even worse now.
---------
instead of getting healthy during the bye week
Giants got more injured and have a suspension controversy on top of it.
Bye bye, Ben.
--------
Ed has gotten a hold quite a batch of Blue koolaid
--------
So Ed's argument is basically
that the Giants should lose and the Rams should win, that the Giants suck and the Rams are new to winning, so look for the Giants to pull an upset. Compelling enough argument for me
----------
Anyone who thinks the Giants can win is dreaming!
I expect injuries to mount now with every game. They are already minus a dozen or so starters and key second stringers. This team will be luck to win two mor games this season. I dont even know if they will beat SF now either cause they have a QB than can play.
