OK, what did we learn tonight ....

Manny in CA : 10/23/2018 1:06 am
1. That our defense is good enough to frustrate possibly the best receiving corps in the NFL (and their future HOF QB)

2. That our "over-the-hill" QB can still put up big numbers (399, with 0 INTs)

3. That our O-line sucks, (excuse me, we knew that)

4. That if we go "max protect", defenses can't stop OBJ & Shep (just wish we'd stop thinking of Engram as a TE).

5. It was interesting to hear, on the broadcast that teams (ATL this week), doesn't think of him at a TE, but a WR. I just wish we thought of him this way, and start splitting him wide.

6. That Shurmer made a fool of himself tonight
(clock management); I hope he LEARNS and stop making excuses.

7. That the run game is the way to protect (and rest) our defense.

That it’s

Best not to waste time or money in this team for another 3-5 years
What run game?  
joe48 : 10/23/2018 5:53 am : link
OL cannot block anyone. We cannot put together long drives where you grind it out because the OL cannot control the Oline of scrimmage. We need to Ma protect and get big chunks of yardage. Evan Engram is another Reese miss in the draft along with Flowers, Apple, and RB who got injured. That is why the team is in bad shape. Poor drafting. So Gettleman missed on 2 guys trying to desperately fix the OL. The Solder deal cannot be repeated.
Most scores by offense....

Happens in end of game garbage time with opposing defenses playing soft. All important challenged drives during the game end with either punts or 3’s....the hallmark of a 1 and 6 team.
Thst the giants played a great game

Much of the items mentioned or broadly

Complained about post Falcons don't bother me.

But, lack of basic run plays:

Why use a show off third and one swing pass?

Just a quick...quick... basic, classic run will do for one yard.

It's really hard to have an offense with all the bells and whistles if you don't practice and run classic basics.

And there's a gazillion of those. Just quickly, instantly developing runs. Practice the crap outta those.
Especially if falcs are know for speed to the edge

This. The offensive stats we do have are inflated

Doesn’t force punts in the second half.

they run bad routes for Eli.

What I learned (or already knew)  
TD : 10/23/2018 8:22 am : link
Eli is an immobile game manager who cannot make the quality starting QB plays anymore (horrible intermediate to deep and doesn’t find open guys like he used to).

Shurmur is frustrated and overmatched.

The OL is criminally bad. Worst in NFL?

Our top 4 O skill players can all ball.

Bettcher can coach D.

The D has some talent.

The team still wants to win.

That the D still doesn't believe in defending a bootleg. Even though the Falcons save for the TD run couldn't run the ball at all, the DEs/LBs still kept crashing down the line.
Not like anybody should be handing the D any awards

this year, but how the hell does anybody on this thread think we have 1 win thus far because of them??

Pulls an Eli and contends he will not play for the Giants !!!!
Another tough loss , they showed up and played hard .  
Bluesbreaker : 10/23/2018 12:43 pm : link
The offensive line is a disaster because of poor drafts and
the lower round picks never develop so the roster is top heavy because of the failures we have some stars and little
in between . This isn't as bad a team as the record shows .
They almost have to make trades now to rebuild this squad .
It will be interesting to see how the cap will be for next season it will likely be Eli's last sowhat does that mean with the cap . Can they restructure Vernon ?
I would look to move/trade Collins the same with Engram .
both 2nd round picks I would look for a pick and a player
with each of them .
Accumulate as many picks as possible . If we can get a extra two 3rd round picks we could take two O-lineman and
maybe a FS and a LB .just go BPA for needs .
