What has CHANGED from last year? Yes, Fournette out for some games, but this team looks totally in the dumpster. What happened? Couldn't be that it was one game NYG played them tough, although that is now looking suspect.
Bortles is terrible and their offense is easy to defend against and grind down physically. You get up on them early and they are dead. Their secondary has also been exposed more this year.
Fournette is great but they have no diversity to their offense in terms of deep threats and consistency in the slot. Yeldon provides some receptions out of backfield but he and Fournette on field together takes away either a receiver and or a blocker and allows defenders to keep loading the box.
Their defense has not been good today. Stop blaming Bottles for all their troubles.
I have to say Bortles, admittedly with all the time in the world, was really precise in his accuracy and touch to his TEs, RBs on swings and screens, even a couple of medium deep throws along the sideline. Seems like he lost his confidence leading to his benching. Moral of the story: openers against 1-7 teams to be can be deceiving. ):
That was one of the games this year where I was angrier at the defense than the offense. Bettcher had a questionable game plan that day and should have done a better job once Fournette went out.

He’s 80 percent of their problems. I’ll keep blaming him as long as he limits them. Thank you for your insight as always.

Giants' D held the Jags to seven punts on seven possessions in the second half with Fournette out.
Giants' O gave the Jags their only points of the second half with the pick six that was the winning margin.

The defense needed to get turnovers. Bettcher ran a softer defense than he usually does against an offense that couldn’t find its way out of a paper bag. He should have pressured Bortles more and didn’t. The defense needed to score that day and win some field position battles more.

Getting angrier at the defense than at the offense for not scoring crosses a line of absurdity. We can all hope that a new Giants' offense, in the not too distant future, will be a remedy.

Welcome to the 2017-2018 Giants seasons. Absurd doesn’t begin to describe it.
Losing Bilal Powell was a killer.

They're awful.

McGuire is actually pretty good - there's not a huge fall off there.
The Jets need to fire Bowles immediately. He's a terrible coach.
Atlanta had a chance to maybe get on a second half streak, but dropped this one.

They probably will now. Can't wait to hear Francesser tee off on the Jets tomorrow :-)

The cure for that is playing the Giants.
Crazy how good they are at home. Looked like a totally different team on the road.
Davis Webb is horrible. Can't even get into a game like this.

The Jags D has not this year. Embarrassing.
