We cannot tell anything by watching these games. Most of the potential starters are not playing. The average player will often rise to the level of talent of those around him. There are good plays and not so good plays, but it is all meaningless as far as determining how good this team will be in 2024.

If nothing else it looks like Fox is getting more work than he will hopefully get in any regular season game…

Defense seems pretty good so far, not that that means much.

And just like that, we get an INT. 😎

Wow, Justin, what’s your thoughts on Peko not being dressed? More of a statement about him, Reader, or Brod?

I told Nolan last night I thought it was a possibility. He's older and there's not a lot of mystery to what he offers. I think they feel really comfortable with him filling Reader's snaps and want to see what the young guys can do.

Disappointed that NYC doesn’t have any pregame shows for the Giants. 7 can’t get here soon enough.

You’re already using Twitter for updates. Maybe just stream those on the page?

I think Substack and Twitter had a fight, and Elon is basically fighting with everyone on the API usage, so it's tough to marry the two since embed's don't play nice.

Good point. Pay an offshore person to update the page in real time with whatever you tweet so you don’t have to do both.

I prefer end of Q updates with timestamps. I would rather you focus on the live action, taking notes and compiling info and update us after the fact. 👍🏼
