For a team coming across the country.
We really, really, really need to get off to a fast start Monday Night, I'd love to see an 9 play drive ending with a TD and go from there. I feel like I haven't seen that in a while. This team has it in them to score, getting Thomas and BB should help.
There is no excuse to start this game like we did against Arizona. SF and Dallas are two of the best defenses we will see all season so I'm not surprised we struggled. Andy Fking Dalton threw all over this secondary, this team should have no excuses why they can't do the same.
That game was extremely frustrating. From James muffed punts to the offense looking like they weren't even trying. Kafka called an awful game.
This is a huge huge game and one that will set the tone for the rest of the season. There is a gap between the top teams and the next level group, and then the bottom tier teams.
IMO the Giants need to win this game to prove that they arent in the bottom tier of teams in the NFL.
Do the math. Should be a game where Dabka can turn Jones loose, especially at home.

How much of Seattle's pass defense issues have been due to missing Woolen and Love? Were they playing poorly while those two were on the field as well?
Sold us a bill of goods! ;-)
And this is exactly my point that there has been a lack of preparation.
Yes, i completely agree that tackling, blocking,etc. are severely lacking but from a fans standpoint we sit at the game and can see the defensive schemes for and against us(as well as offensive ones) and there is something missing. Being successful running the ball and then the next drive completely going away from it is on the coaching staff. There also seems to be a lack of heart on the field. That may be my own misperception but it sure feels that way.
Just win the game hopefully they can get ahead however I don’t think we have to get off to a fast start to win. What happens if we don’t….just win the game.

They have Jamal Adams coming back this week. No more swiss cheese in pass game.
It' time to beat this team and save the season.

against the run and swiss cheese against the pass. They are 31st in pass defense.

He's overrated.
And we were also a few easy interceptions turned drops away from changing that 49ers game entirely. Can look at it both ways.

We knew SF and Dallas were going to be tough starts, but we're a miracle comeback away from being 0-3 and the schedule is on our favor on this one for a change. I've been saying I believe our best football is ahead of us, but if that's true, we had better see it coming together this week. This season is running out of excuses.

Kind of? Every game in this league is must win, especially when youre backs are against the wall.
I think the Giants win.
One of the things most confusing and frustrating to me so far in the 2023 has been the coaching staff. What I believed going into the 2023 season was that the Giants coaching staff, given they made chicken salad out of a chicken sh*t roster in 2022, would lead the team to more success in 2023 based on a healthier and more talented roster.
So far the Giants seem to have poorly prepared players (I was at the Arizona game. The defense seemed to be confused, looking lost at each other frequently as in a Betcher defense), with incorrect and mostly inflexible game plans.
It appears the Giants have been outcoached in 2023. Only one of the issues in 2023, but the one I’m most surprised about.
Can we please stop the run. I mean you simply cannot play defense and not stop the run. I dont care how many players you need to put in the box. Stop the damn run. And if they pass blitz the qb and put him on his ass.
Line up and play football and stop trying to win on scheme alone.
+100, Carroll did all his rah-rah antics on the sideline, and Daboll looked peeved during the post-game handshake.
Also, its hard to see this D keeping Seattle below 30, so keeping pace will be vital
Honestly, this is the type of defense Jones can excel against; they will let him see open receivers. However, last year we got out game planned...that cannot happen this year.
I think the Giants win.
And Carroll isn't a good coach? I'm not a fan of his style, but it's hard to argue with his record.
