First live game together, understanding each other's tendencies, developing an identity, when you have a confident, unified, ferocious Jags squad on the other side?  It could get ugly.  Good they have home field advantage.

Yeah but they held on to their stars. We let everyone worth a hoot walk, and even the few 'good' players that lasted(Lewis) were not game breaking good like OBJ can be. It will be a challenge for the defense to limit their offense. If we can stop the run I don't see them winning, thats how 90% of our games will go outside of the elite QBs in the league. I dont consider Eli an elite QB, so if we can limit Barkley, I think the game gets ugly quick for the Giants offense.
