Lions Over Giants – New Season, Same Problems
It seemed that everything the Detroit Lions were hoping to achieve heading into the new season came out working perfectly in the opener, beating the New York Giants 35-14 as Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson clicked brilliantly. On the other side, the same problems the Giants had last season haven’t gone away, with another abysmal performance from Eli Manning.

Giants Over Jets – Things Getting Clearer
Nothing new came out of the New York Giants beating the New York Jets 35-24. Geno Smith was announced as the team’s starting quarterback, something everyone already knew, while Eli Manning continues to struggle in his new offense, with his team once again rallying back to preseason victory during garbage time with backups on the field.

Giants Over Colts – Nothing to be Happy About
The most important thing about a preseason game is how well the starters did. Eli Manning was terrible during his time on the field so a 27-26 New York Giants win over the Indianapolis Colts loses all meaning, as opposed to Andrew Luck who looked sharp, confident and accurate during his the series he took part of.

Giants Over Bills – Preseason Games Don’t Always Mean Something
The introduction to preseason. The New York Giants beat the Buffalo Bills 17-13 in the Hall of Fame game. If preseason doesn’t mean much, then what does the actual opener mean? Even less, although the Giants were probably pleased with what they got from Eli Manning and their running backs, while the Bills have quite a few things to be worried about.

New York Giants – Eli Manning Isn’t an Accurate Quarterback
Nothing and no one can take away the things Eli Manning has achieved and won throughout his NFL career. However, if the New York Giants actually think they can turn him into an extremely accurate quarterback, then it’s quite the delusional setup and aspiration they have set for themselves heading into the 2014 NFL season.

Soccer Bigger Than the NFL for Just One Day
No, soccer isn’t bigger than the NFL and probably will never be, not in the United States. But the World Cup opening win over Ghana set quite a few records in terms of viewership and ratings, including getting a higher viewing share in New York City compared to last season’s average for both the New York Giants and the New York Jets.
