I know it's a stretch, but hoping the defense can figure something out in the next game or two.
The Giants won 19 games the previous 2 years, not 8.
The 2007 Giants and were expected to be a playoff contender and had good players on both sides of the ball. The biggest question mark that team had was Eli.
How was an 8-8 team the preceding year considered a playoff contender if the QB was a question mark?
maybe we don't have the ponies, but Eli really hasn't rallied the troops, and he hasn't for a long time. He's rarely made the O more than the sum of the parts.
Most of the time there was just utter confusion. When they werent confused they played okay. Just some mistakes with penalties and lost schematically. If they get the schemes down, there could be a big improvement. Can be middle of the pack this year.

They were supposed to be in the playoffs in 2006. It was a firestorm of criticism that that team didnt make it.
But with no defense, a weak OL, and no big play receivers, what do people expect.
Weak OL? This is Gettleman's rebuilt OL. If anything, it's the one unit on the team that's comprised entirely of guys that Gettleman wanted and paid good money to get.
If the OL is weak, then there's no reason to have any confidence in Gettleman to rebuild any of this.

There isn’t much talent wise. Unless the kids really get better it won’t change a lot
Eli wasn’t the problem today with the way the defense got beat up but he didn’t help things either. Eli can still be effective if with the running game game is working and he’s getting good protection but he can’t make the big plays or elevate the team the way he did years ago.
Eli is not winning any shootout these days - if things go right, he is Â

Almost got himself killed. Sorry but putting him in this game is a mistake.Glad it did not happen but I am sure all the people complaining about putting Jones in would have hid if he got hurt.

I don't think Eli was the problem, but his grounding penalty was a big one and the other failed 4th down conversion was terrible. Same old shit.
Ball awareness. Can’t fumble on that kind of scramble. For the rest of the team, this is a starting point. The one guy that I was disappointed in on defense was Golden. They needed him to be THE pass rusher. He was invisible. Carter had a few nice rushes, but there was nothing consistent.

This is all on the defense.
We scored 10 points when it mattered.

It's the QB's job to win. If Manning can't win, try to find somebody who can.
Why have him take the hits?
Games over, but giving DJ some NFL experience is a good thing.
please remember this is still garbage time.
OL was ok today
Lol
He never had to move! Anyone would have looked good.

All part of the Masterplan. Make Jerruh give him big bucks and eat up what's left of their cap, and hinder them going forward as much as possible.

If nothing else Jones popped his NFL cherry.

I'd like a coach that doesn't panic down two scores at the half.

In terms of overall performance, run and pass blocking. They were ok, or average.

Hell, he panicked after Barkley lit it up in the opening drive.
Great point.
