Well, that was fun! I think it's safe to say that New York Giants fans will never forget this preseason, and although these games don't necessarily count for anything, if this team looks anything like it did the last few weeks in the regular season, we are in for a treat!
Big Blue fans knew this team would be an improvement from last year's three-win season with the upgrades to the quarterback position as well as on the defensive side, but nobody expected the G-Men to be putting up at least 30 points in all three preseason games.

This preseason gave us so many great moments that should have Giants fans excited about the regular season. It's so hard to pinpoint just one moment or play, but with the regular season almost here, let's look at the five most promising moments from the Giants' electric preseason:
5 most promising moments from the Giants' preseason
Jaxson Dart's first preseason touchdown to Lil'Jordan Humphrey
Jaxson Dart was one of the Giants' most significant storylines throughout training camp, and the first time Big Blue fans got a look at the first-round pick during in-game action, he certainly met expectations. Dart got off to a hot start, and on his second drive of the game, he threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Lil'Jordan Humphrey, which had fans hyped.
Through three preseason games, the former Ole Miss quarterback finished 32-of-47 passing (68.1%) for 372 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Dart also had six rushes for 52 yards with a touchdown. He has certainly made a case to be named the team's backup to start the season.
Russell Wilson's moon ball to the Beaux Collins against the Jets
We all knew coming into preseason that Russell Wilson would be the starting quarterback solely based on veteran experience and his resume. But Big Blue fans were waiting for him to have a signature moment. That moment would come against the Jets.
Wilson gave Big Blue fans something to cheer about as he would open the game with a signature moon ball to Beaux Collins for 80 yards, who is also having an impressive camp in his own right. Fans can expect more of this from the veteran QB as the season goes on, and hopefully, not just Collins but also Malik Nabers will be on the receiving end of these deep throws.
Abdul Carter looked unblockable in his first game vs. the Buffalo Bills
Abdul Carter only played a few snaps of his first preseason game against the Bills, but managed to make them count as he had three pressures, two of which came against four-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Dion Dawkins. If Carter is already having these productive reps against some of the best offensive linemen in the league, Brian Daboll will be more than pleased with his new pass rusher.
Daboll and Joe Schoen should be relieved to watch their two first-round picks have such impactful games in their preseason debut on both sides of the ball against their former team. We can expect much more of this from Dart and Carter this season.
Jalin Hyatt gets a much-needed touchdown from Jameis Winston
One player who is on the fence for making the 53-man roster is third-year wide receiver Jalin Hyatt. The former Tennessee Vols wideout has yet to breakout in the NFL, and with his future in question, many were expecting him to have an impressive training camp and preseason this offseason.
Hyatt had one more opportunity to show out this offseason before roster cuts are made, and that was against the Patriots. Dart targeted Hyatt twice, putting his eggs in a basket with perfect passes. Still, the former third-round pick dropped both passes Dart gave him until Winston came into the game and, on his first pass, hit Hyatt for a 27-yard touchdown catch, which may have saved his chances at making the final roster.
Tommy DeVito's impressive game vs. the New England Patriots
The G-Men have four roster-worthy quarterbacks and only three spots to fill at the position. With 53-man rosters due by Tuesday at 4:00 p.m., fans are wondering if Tommy DeVito will make the final roster, or if the hometown hero is the odd man out.
The 27-year-old completed 17 of his 20 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns against the Patriots, and afterward, thanked the fans. With Wilson being named the starter and Dart in contention to be the team's backup after an impressive camp, leaving DeVito and Winston. Famous Jameis has the veteran experience in this battle, which leaves DeVito as a potential cut.
Regardless, Big Blue Nation will always have a soft spot in their hearts for Tommy Cutlets and the time he spent in East Rutherford.
