The

same problems still exist. The game was a microcosm of the last few years.

Jones with a ridiculous turnover.
Missed tackles.
No pressure unless we blitz because we have no edge rushers that scare anyone.
Can't cover TEs.
Porous and poor OL.
Terrible play calling. (Why run Barkley up the middle on nearly every first down?)
Can't get off the field on third down.

And although it didn't matter, Judge not knowing the rules and costing us a TO was amateurish.
We are gonna roll into the Dallas game at 0-3

PatersonPlank : 9/12/2021 7:12 pm : link
On offense we couldn't finish. Moved the ball ok but never got to the point of it all, scoring points. Jones with the horrible fumble, etc.

On defense we never stopped them. Do you realize Denver had no 3 and outs? After the first drive when they got to mid field and punted, they just went down the field with 8 minute drives. Don't tell me that they were gassed, if they were its their own fault.

Coaching was horrendous. Judge was a joke with that "challenge", Grahams D was useless, and the offense looks good around midfield (but who cares).

It just seems to me we should be better with the players we have. The Coaches better get this team in gear or its going to be a long season

Shurmur's offense was a lot better than this. He lacked players but got production out of Golden Tate's washed up corpse. And it helped Jones too.

Garrett was overrated just like everything else from Dallas. Overrated. They were happy to get rid of him and haven't missed a beat since. Some people still think Garrett is somehow responsible for the development of Prescott and Romo and that's a shame.

And a 6th overall QB who can't out play Teddy Bridgewater.

It's early, and I expect the Giants to improve, but as of today, I'm about 60% sure Jones ain't the guy. I see no flashes of magic. Yet he's still good for at least one fumble or bad turnover per game.

I continue to believe Garrett's offense is hamstrung by Jones's limitations. But Garrett provides a convenient out for those who think Jones is a first round talent.

Which reminds me. Where are the first round skills with this guy? He just continues to be the definition of ordinary.

I disagree. The OL is still questionable. But, the skill players aren't mediocre. Golladay, Rudolph, Shepard, Barkley. That's not mediocre. Then Slayton and Toney as 3/4 is also above average talent.

...defense was terrible. Offense wasn't on the field a lot but another Jones turnover and just bad play calling overall IMO makes you think - WTF was this team doing all offseason/preseason.

Even the HC, who we all lean on to lead us out of that dark decade - doesn't know the rule (along with the crowd that thought fumbling the ball after hitting the pylon is some sort of turnover).

I am going to say this - particularly about a team like the Giants. They made a huge mistake not playing the starters more in the preseason.

I'll give them the first quarter of the season before I write them off...I know most of us are doing that already.

“No more scholarships” meanwhile in year 2 the Eagles wanted to PUSH Hurts. Competition is a GOOD THING. For two years they’ve neglected bringing in another young QB when Jones has proven nothing aside from turning the ball over at the worst time and getting hurt.

Now if Jones sucks they have no plan B and they throw away the whole fucking season. Absolutely no valid excuse to not trade for a guy like Minshew, the reality is what we both know - they didn’t want to hurt Danny’s feelings. Loser mentality.

I disagree. The OL is still questionable. But, the skill players aren't mediocre. Golladay, Rudolph, Shepard, Barkley. That's not mediocre. Then Slayton and Toney as 3/4 is also above average talent.


I still have no idea what anyone has seen in Barkley the last 2 years to think he is really any good. He has not been good since his rookie year. He has to be the most over hyped player in the history of sports. He avg less than 3 yards a carry. He did similar things last year before getting hurt.

The defense is mediocre and so is Daniel jones ... if this wasn’t gettle’s boy and judge not such a young coach he would be playing back up for the bears or something

Stats are useless sometimes...


It is not just the stats that are useless. It is also useless trying to talk to people here who clearly have some kind of agenda. Blaming one person whether it is the RB, the QB, the GM, etc.

Jones looks no better or worse than half of the QBs in the league. The thing is people here are not watching every play from those other QBs. If you want to look at the stats, Jones' day today was about the same as many QBs and he had one turnover.

Today, Rodgers had only 133 yards, two INTs and no TDs. Jones out played him today. Same for a few other QBs but it all means nothing because stat comparisons are stupid.

The bottom line here is this team is not controlling the line of scrimmage. We cannot run the ball or pass protect and we cannot get pressure on the QB or stop the run at times. THAT is where our problems begin and they end with poor play calling.

So, if you "football fans" want to waste your time talking about the QB or the RB then go ahead. Put Mahommes behind center for us today and we still lose. Now whose fault is it? Put Chubb in the backfield for us and we still lose the game today. Now whose fault is it?

We have too many problems at the line of scrimmage that were not fixed since last season and on top of that, we also have some piss poor play calling making even more difficult.

And a 6th overall QB who can't out play Teddy Bridgewater.

It's early, and I expect the Giants to improve, but as of today, I'm about 60% sure Jones ain't the guy. I see no flashes of magic. Yet he's still good for at least one fumble or bad turnover per game.

Nope. Too little and too late. 3 and out.



What is there to lose by firing Garrett and giving Jones till the end of the year to see if he can improve under someone else ?

We know forsure with Garrett this will be a lost season, Jones will not improve, and all the Weapons DG added will be wasted

It's hard to disagree with that. 1 game might be a bit early. But, if after a few games, the offense looks like this, I would be behind this.

He's calling plays as if he has that dominant OL he had back in Dallas where basic was enough because the offensive line would protect the QB as long as necessary or blow huge holes open for the RBs.

I actually like having Barkley in the "passing game" - not the safety valve we always see.

But they need to use him the way the Eagles used to use Brian Westbrook, running curls and crossing patterns...

Big problem today - Barkley is obviously coming off injury but he was rusty for sure. Again, players should have played more in the preseason.

When we were TBridgewaters face by the rookie and McKinney
Just a stupid roughing / even if borderline - he looked right at him at went to the helmet - blown coverages - poor adjustments

Jones fumble was vomit material - again -
Play calling on goal to goal was abysmal
We lost both lines of scrimmage

Jg has to go but until we have a strong oline we are going nowhere even if D improves / fade to Rudolph ? Wtf
Nothing in the middle
Pass to Barkley could have been intercepted twice
A wasted run
And to the pylon and I’ll throw it low on 4th down

Defense was poor

They couldn't cover the tight end all day long as Patrick killed the Giant's defense.

The offensive line didn't open holes and the pass blocking was subpar to say the least.

Jones can't turn the ball over on that run in the red zone.

The play caller was poor most of the day.

Lots of work to do before Washington on Thursday.

Get Saquon the ball on the outside on flare passes so he is in space

In the predictions threads, few here were all that optimistic on the season, especially at the start. So why all the teeth gnashing? The result is pretty much what we expected.

someway, other teams seem to get more out of OTAs, rookie week, minicamp, summer camp, and preseason games.

The opposition shows up ready to go when the gun goes off on Day 1, and the Giants look lost in space. Our guys lose at the LoS, on the edge, at QB, in third down, and on the sideline. They aren’t prepared.

But please keep all those posts coming that the preseason months don’t matter, and it’s for the bottom of the roster and starters get enough reps in the scrimmages and non-tackle practices. I enjoy these takes.

Something has to change folks...

Lines of Scrimmage : 9/12/2021 8:00 pm : link
But your driving and have a chance for a TD after a good drive and you fumble. TD maybe changes the momentum down 6. Instead it deflates the team.

The D was the big issue today but I and fear the team has the feeling that it’s only a matter of time before he screws up.

I think Garrett gets Thursdays game but if it is another stinker you may need a change to create a sense of urgency.

Yep. Barkley is a one dimensional player.

“If they can just get him the ball in space” — there’s 100 guys in the league you could say the same for. He’s supposed to be a “gold jacket guy.” True game changers don’t need everything perfect around them to impact.

Giving Barkley a second contract would be a massive mistake.

Graham couldn’t make adjustments, and Garrett……if they lose Thursday night, may not make it to game 3…..which may not be a bad thing.

have a chance before the Giants move on from him without being stuck in Garrett offense. Wish they fired Garrett and gave someone else a chance because this offense has no chance with him in charge



Nope. Too little and too late. 3 and out.



What is there to lose by firing Garrett and giving Jones till the end of the year to see if he can improve under someone else ?

We know forsure with Garrett this will be a lost season, Jones will not improve, and all the Weapons DG added will be wasted

It's hard to disagree with that. 1 game might be a bit early. But, if after a few games, the offense looks like this, I would be behind this.



I have seen enough through 17 games. Garrett is the worst OC i have ever seen. Zero creativity, Zero unpredictability, no scheming anybody open, Receivers running short of 3rd down sticks, Running plays are all straight into the Oline, Zero aggressiveness when They desperately need points,no changes in tempo of the offense . It's just awful to watch

Yep. Barkley is a one dimensional player.

“If they can just get him the ball in space” — there’s 100 guys in the league you could say the same for. He’s supposed to be a “gold jacket guy.” True game changers don’t need everything perfect around them to impact.

Giving Barkley a second contract would be a massive mistake.


Gettleman got that wrong. Barkley is a gadget player. Assuming he gets his legs back from the ACL, he's fine in that role. He's not a RB, he's a guy you move around the offense to try to create mismatches.

Patching around Eli sounded like a good idea the execution was not there. They knew you might get someone like a Daniel jones . He sucks. They knew what they had in Eli. It would have weird to cut him at age 30 and fresh off two s b mvps.... don’t you agree??? There are only a few people who can do this and finding coaches that can develop them.


Huh, definitely not a "Gettleman fanboy" whatever it is. It isn't blaming Eli nor an "Eli narrative". The correct answer was not to jettison Eli but to actually rebuild around him, but the team never did that (whether by Reese and Gettleman's decision or the Maras) and ended up wasting the back half of his career. The rebuild didn't start until year 2 of Gettleman.

The key play of the game - despite the defense not being able to stop the Broncos - was Jones' fumble. If he doesn't fumble, we probably score and are then within 3 points, making a totally different game.

100% correct. Barkley is vastly overrated. Every time I hear generational to describe him I laugh.
That was as disastrous  
mittenedman : 9/12/2021 8:33 pm : link
a game as I could've imagined. I still can't believe they ran that reverse to Toney after the bomb to Slayton. Football is not a complicated game, that playcall was inexcusable, a this offensive system is God Awful. Again, it looked like our receivers were blanketed all day.

To get clobbered by a mediocre DEN team with the crowd as amped up as possible?

Jones looked like he made zero progress, the D couldn't stop Teddy Bridgewater & Barkley looking cooked off the ACL. Even Toney looked like he had zero moves on that swing pass.

Fascinating how disastrous it was. This team had very little rope with me, and I imagine with all Giants fans.

I'm completely confused by your timeline. It was obvious they were not resigning some quality players that had key roles in winning Super bowls including Bradshaw and Jacobs. Strahan retiring clearly paved the way for cruz contract and finding younger athletic guys. It was a dumb idea. The fact it was poorly executed and a coach like big suit, moustache had disaster results.

you bring KT in and run jet motion for the first time ever and hand it to him? Like they DIDNT have their eyes peeled to him? Same with then bubble a few plays later

The offensive line was pass blocking fun. They tried to force the run for no reason when it wasn’t working.

Where were the rollouts? Where were the RPOs? Where were the things Jones does well?

Great to know the OL is still a complete and utter disaster. Last year, they were at least able to run-block decently for Gallman. They couldn't block for shit today and somehow looked even worse.

Shurmur made Graham look bad today. I know Shurmur is actually a good OC, but good grief. Their offense was rolling pretty much non-stop today.

I didn't have high hopes coming into this season. But I did think we would win today. Today was a complete disaster in every aspect; coaching, players. We made the Broncos look like a great team...and they're really not. Especially without Chubb and Jeudy out for the entire second half.

We killed Reese for years for taking skill position over line in the draft. And what was Gettleman's very first pick with #2 overall??? Saquon was a luxury pick that this team could not afford. Now a WR in 2021. In my mind Gettleman is just an extension of the Reese era. The priorities on this team have been mismanaged since Reese - even though ironically we won the Superbowl his first year but that wasn't a team he built.

is the D. All aspects? No. But, the overall level or play and outcome, because they played better than this last year under Graham and they have added talent. But, pass rush is still a problem, as is their zone coverage. Someone here said Banks seemed to think the playcalling on D was sound, but the execution poor. I'm not sure about that, but he certainly knows a lot more than me, so I'll hope he's correct. At least that would be correctable.

Leg of Theismann : 9/13/2021 1:39 am : link
The Giants were in position a few times today to come up with a big play or big stop that could have given them an edge in the game and they just didn’t make any of those plays. Even in games where a team loses by 2 or 3 scores, there are just a few moments/plays where a team needs to step up and make the better play than the opposing team, and the Giants didn’t do that today. They weren’t entirely outmatched, but they didn’t make those plays is the point……….. the problem is— it’s now been 5 years that I’ve felt this way. It’s like they’re always a play or 2 away from being … a play or 2 away. They don’t score in the red zone, they don’t stop teams on 3rd and 4th downs, and they don’t make the key plays in the games that are required to win. It’s one thing to say “well they’re just a few plays away” but teams are always just a few plays away in the NFL. It’s a game of inches and the differences in talent are minimal. But that’s always going to be the case and you’re going to almost always come up short in those moments if you don’t have the better players on the field than the other team.

We’re oh so close yet so far away. We’ve been “oh so close” for a few years now. No more moral victories. If we get another 6-10 -ish year then it’s time for a shakeup. I personally think it should be a shakeup in general management. And I would allow Judge to have some input (or at least more input than Ernie Accorsi. I think Judge does like working with DG, but he’s also the type of guy who’s very positive and likely willing to try to make the best of a situation. I don’t see him as the guy going behind DG’s back and telling Mara to can DG. Therefore— it had to be Mara who makes the adult decision to move on from DG. He can say to Judge: look, you can have input in the direction we go in terms of General Management, but it’s NOT going to be DG next year.

Dude. You are spot on about Jones. He isn't the answer.


What kills me is that the Giants have had opportunities to bring in FA QBs who could actually potentially compete with Jones and supplant him if necessary. Them not doing so seems almost deliberate.

Agreed. That's why I got so upset last year with all the moral victory posts last year. That was BS last year and this game is why. Where did all those so-called moral victories get us? Did we look like a better team? Did we win a winnable game at home?

Fuck moral victories. It's been nearly a decade of shit. I don't want moral victories. I want real victories. This game was not pretty, but it was very much a game for a long while. The Giants just never took advantage of that.

Of course it was deliberate. Jones is on scholarship.

Reese's Pieces : 9/13/2021 2:33 am : link
Bridgewater had his career best game today. Is he a 90% completion quarterback? Whether he threw the ball with a blitzer bearing down on him, or whether he threw the ball on the run moving away from the line of scrimmage, he could NOT throw an incompletion.

When you get old, there are times when you see things better than the "expert," just because you've been watching the game for 60 years. Picking Barclay was always going to be a mistake. You don't pick a fragile luxury offensive skill player when you can't block for him, or for your quarterback, and you don't have a player on defense that other teams fear.

Engram, OBJ, Hampton, Dayne, Wheatley, Rocky Thompson

a game as I could've imagined. I still can't believe they ran that reverse to Toney after the bomb to Slayton. Football is not a complicated game, that playcall was inexcusable, a this offensive system is God Awful. Again, it looked like our receivers were blanketed all day.

To get clobbered by a mediocre DEN team with the crowd as amped up as possible?

Jones looked like he made zero progress, the D couldn't stop Teddy Bridgewater & Barkley looking cooked off the ACL. Even Toney looked like he had zero moves on that swing pass.

Fascinating how disastrous it was. This team had very little rope with me, and I imagine with all Giants fans.
It was awful. There's no silver linings. The only hope is With Golladay, Barkley, Toney they all are rusty and they all needed reps.

I know! This whole blaming Garret is laughable. I didn't notice anything particularly bad about the plays. Just the execution was not there. The Giants are a bad football team and have been before Garret.

Does anyone remember the Mcadoo years. The same formation and personel packages 92% of the time (or whatvers it was). It was like I was watching high school footbal plays. And Garret is to blame for this because Jones/barkley can't play. So you want to roll him out and run an rpo every down?

shockeyisthebest8056 : 9/13/2021 6:56 am : link
I root for and what I witnessed today was among the 2 or 3 worst performances I’ve ever seen. The Giants just flat out sucked.The Broncos were disrespecting them with their 4th down attempts and the Giants couldn’t do anything about it. While Jones will get bashed (rightfully so) and Jason Garrett needs to be shot into the fucking sun, the defense was absolutely horrendous. If they hadn’t forced the turnover near the goal line, they would’ve been run off of the field much earlier. Broncos were WIDE open on third down regardless of distance. The Giants couldn’t get off of the field.

The only positives I took from the game was that the pass protection wasn’t bad and Sterling Shepard.

Jason Garrett has to go NOW!!! There isn’t a single other NFL team that looks this bad offensively even in week one. And Daniel Jones has completely regressed.

They ran between the tackles incessantly. There were too many plays in which no one was open. And most importantly, Daniel Jones actually had good, highly productive games with Pat Shurmur’s offense as a rookie. He literally hasn’t had one game like that in over year under Garrett. Keep in mind, the offensive line sucked with Shurmur so that excuse is out the window. This was the least productive offense in the sport yesterday.

No pass for Garrett.

Ten Ton Hammer : 9/13/2021 7:39 am : link
Problems that cause an offense to get suck in the mud, but don't bother giving the coordinator a pass because of it.

It's not an inventive offense. It's not one that helps a young QB by making it easy to string together completions. It's a very vanilla, predictable, easy to defend passing offense and it shows. Their one wrinkle was throwing out of a bunch formation with a pick play for Sterling on 3rd down and it worked. Then they went back to curls and straights.

Aside from the scheme, the in game management was poor. Nothing from kyle Rudolph. Golladay didn't get involved until late in the game. Toney got two touches and doesn't see the field again. The only guy who had success is Shepard, a man who has always known how to shake coverages and get open and doesn't need help doing it.

Yes, that ACL/MCL injury really snuck up on everybody in the front office.

They barely had any time to react and consider what else could be done to shore up the Running Back corps in the event Saquon's rehab took a while.

Unable to get off the field an third and fourth downs(have you heard that before)

We wasted alot of money signing Adoree Jackson. He was plain awful yesterday.

There are three rookies in the history of the sport with three or more 4+ TD pass games. It doesn’t happen often. “The book” now means they can’t pass for 200 yards regularly, let alone just two TD passes in a game? That’s ridiculous. We literally see none of the flashes we saw his rookie season.

Feel free to pretend Jason Garrett isn’t a major issue though. I’m not absolving Jones of blame or trying to say he’s a great player. But I saw him have great games. I haven’t seen an inkling of that since Jason Garrett became the coordinator.
