Here is your first game day open thread of the 2008 season. The Giants, or at least whatever players the Giants have available, meet the Detroit Lions tonight in their first exhibition game.
A note about the thread. If you want to follow along during the game, keep your browser open to the comments throughout. The comments will 'auto-refresh' as they are posted, making it seem like a live blog.
We will see how this works out. I might still use some third-party live-blogging software during the season, but keeping your browser open to the comments during the game provides a pretty close facsimile.
- Giants.com has comments from several players on the first exhibition game.
- NorthJersey.com says the game provides a big opportunity for bit players.

Where's Bob Papa?
I suppose that with his new NFL Network duties, Bob’s going to miss some Giant games. I hope only a few. I’ll miss his play-by-play.

Is probably doing Olympics work

Can't wait to
get a look at the rookies. Lets see how our new saftey can hit. Ditto the linebackers. Hows Tollefson progressing? How about Tank Daniels, he had the special teams strip that put us ahead in the Tampa playoff game. If the F word comes up I’m gonna puke though ,and I’m not refering to his Highnesses’ new set of Commandments.
We're only gonna score 17 points?

yikes
Haven’t seen this Eli since the Minnesota game. I was kinda hoping never to see him again. Oh well, at least this game doesn’t count for anything.
Feagles puts one down at the 9
He’s ready for the season

all I care about in preseason
Is that no one gets hurt. I hate the 4 preseason game thing. Think about it, the Giants played 24 football games last season

how about Carr?
pretty nice game for him overall.
didn’t get to see it on TV, but the box score is encouraging.

Against the 3rd team Defense.....
.....Just kidding. Maybe all of my David Carr criticism is way off base! The guys I’ve been bagging on the most (Moss and Carr) look like they had decent performances. Hopefully Moss piques someone’s interest.
The comment above re: no one getting hurt is really the key. I’d like to have seen Eli’s #’s approach Kitna’s (6-7 for 105 yds and a TD!! – all that against the Giants 1st team D! WOW!) but these game’s are tune-up’s. I’m fine with Eli saving his best for the road playoff games vs. the Dallases and Green Bays of the world….
Carr was terrific
until the last two minutes. He made a bad mistake on the intentional grounding, but overall it was encouraging.

can i just say
FOOOOOOOOOOOTBAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!!! i know u all missed it as much as i did. that said, terell thomas looked great tonight with that leap to swat away the ball/get the pick, nice open-field tackles from him, im very encouraged by what i saw from him bryan kehl and KP, too bad mario manningham couldn’t play, but that said brandon london and sinorice moss looked so sick tonight. brandon london is a BIG dude, and he’s quick too. we really do have one of the best receiving corps in the NFL.
