Giants Smoke WFT, Right?

christian : 9/14/2021 10:50 pm
It’s no great referendum on the season or Giants when they do, but there’s no chance on a short week, with a guy with 1 career start, 92 career attempts, who went to Old Dominion, at QB the Giants don’t destroy WFT.

This is as much of a lock as any game on the calendar for any team before January.
Right,

The Giants should loan them Glennon.

I’d don’t think WFT scores honestly. This is a perfect reset game.
Yeah, they are going to put up a good game here. No surprises  
Jimmy Googs : 9/14/2021 11:04 pm : link
with the divisional foe. Playing another WFT backup who will make some plays but will also be giving them up for our Defense as well.

If Jones has confidence against anyone, it’s surely Washington. He has had some nice outings versus them in first two years. Saquon too.

Feel good about yourself type of game...

I've seen your reasonable and realtiy-based posts and debates with aggressive optimists, so it's hard for me to believe you see this game as a literal lock.
Not impossible but  
GiantSteps : 9/14/2021 11:09 pm : link
If the WFT d-line plays against our o-line like they did against LAC, our line doesn’t give Jones enough time to get the ball anywhere. Add Garrett’s abysmal run calls, and I think it’s a very tough day for the Giants offense.

If our defense shoes up looking like they did vs Denver, I’m not sure we could beat ATL, let alone WFT. Although I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for one more game.

The quick Thursday night turnaround will either be a killer nail in the coffin or the perfect shot of adrenaline. Week two (but really Week 1.5). Crazy.

I certainly believe the Giants are pretty bad, but there is no way a team starting a guy with this in his bio: In addition, he was a reserve quarterback for the St. Louis BattleHawks of the XFL during its lone season in 2020. — wins a division game on a four day week.

has had a lot of success against Washington. Jones has put up solid numbers versus them as well. I know the names change each year, but he has to have as much confidence versus them than any other team.

What? Herbert had a few bumps and the refs helped out WFT plenty, but he still had his way with their LBs and secondary when he needed to.

And Herbert is only a second year guy, while Jones is in his third and played them more frequently...
This game will be out of reach in the fourth quarter…

…Which will be the biggest thing that is unlike the Giants.

They have been really bad at putting things away.
Don’t get it twisted I don’t believe that today’s woes are related in anyway to five years ago.
But they have struggled consistently forever… add truly putting things away.

Like 15 years ago. Come on, no one is even around from those days.

In fact, facing backup QBs have been our sweet spot during DGs reign. I think about 10 of the 15 wins have come against backups in the last 3 years!

Herbert has more talent in his pinky than DJ will ever have.

I had this as a loss before the season started, but with a XFL QB on 4 day prep, the Giants win a low scoring affair.

If the Giants lose this game, they only have 2 winnable games (ATL and CAR) through the next 6...likely a 2-6 start, at best. The fanbase/media will be calling for heads to roll.

It's only week 2...but this is a must win game!
There is no way it is a must win game.  
Jimmy Googs : 9/14/2021 11:30 pm : link
I would agree it’s a must gain some confidence type of game, whether that’s on offense, defense or both.

But plenty of twists and turns to come this year, especially in a division like the NFCE. One game down in the division in Sept can be overcome...

BH28 : 9/14/2021 11:57 pm : link
This team barely beat a Kyle Allen led WFT in the first meeting last year and then held off the Alex Smith led WFT in the fourth quarter.

I think WFT has shown that they can basically plug any pile of crap into their offense and it will produce about 20 points/game. Where they are probably screwed is coming from behind big.

As long as WFT D can keep them in the game they have chance. The only hope I have of a blowout is if they re-sign Haskins and he repeats his 3 INT game from 2019.

Forget the hocus pocus stuff. What happened in the past has no effect on Thursday.

WFT has three days to prep with a backup QB, who has barely played in the NFL.

He had an improbably competent playoff performance, and then couldn’t beat out Fitzgerald for a starting gig.

This is the type of guy you feast on after a short week.

More importantly, how is our O going to do vs their D? Their front 7 is going to be a challenge for our line, so how does Garrett game plan for that? More BS end arounds to Toney?

My hope is they start getting the ball to guys in space.

No, the Giants aren't going to go down to Washington and smoke the team. They will be lucky to win by 1 point. WFT is at least as good as the Giants, and probably better.

This for sure.

Heinicke has skills. He's very mobile and can make plays off script. In that playoff game against Tampa last year, he threw for 300+ and rushed for 50. The Tampa D.

I'm completely the other way on this. I liked our chances much better against FitzTragic. Heinicke is a wild card in this game...

Anyone familiar with him knows that. This thread is his way of setting the narrative in advance of the game.

But if they lose, christian is setting the stage for what he hopes is an all out mutiny. What better way to accomplish this than starting a thread basically handing an easy win to a team that can’t get out of its own way?

UberAlias : 9/15/2021 9:02 am : link
By coming out non-competitive, at home, in what most thought was a winable game last week. They know the history --the team has started out 0-2 every season since this GM took over. Repeat that again this year and the daggers come out. They know this.

There is every bit of motivation for NYG to come out with something to prove. Question is, are they good enough to do anything about it. At this point, I'm not confident they are. WFT defense is too good and our offense has too many weaknesses in foundational areas --Oline and QB. The defense is good, but what we saw last year was a lot of scheme covering up for things. IMO, they aren't as good as most of us thought they were outside of these pass rushers step it up. And the middle of the field on defense, just like the Oline on Offense, remains an unsolvable problem for us.

We'll see what happens, I guess. My advice--? Temper your expectations, there be storms in the forecast.

No pressure whatsoever for him to win it for them, just don't blow it. And NYG has to figure out how to get more pressure on the QB or it doesn't matter who's back there, he's going to have success.

I picked the Giants to go 8-9, and I love both Judge and Graham, and what they are all about.

The Giants former coach (I was in the vast minority who was actually on the fence about deserving a 3rd year btw) — picked them apart.

I don’t expect that to happen again. I think Judge and Graham are too talented and too smart. I also think their is too much talent on the defensive side of the football.

I watched the WFT/Chargers and I saw a perfectly reasonable back up performance from a QB.

But this is a short week, 2 practices, 3 days against a defense that has its back against the wall.

The only reason for you to post this is you’re apparently patting yourself on the back for thinking the Giants and Jones both suck. Is that accurate? Of course it is. The constant need for Giants fans to be proven “right” is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen. It’s pathetic, actually. Who gives a shit if fans think the Giants can win 7 games?

I don’t love the construction of the team, and I think management has made a metric ton of errors along the way. I’ve never been shy about that. I think the Giants have organized a team that can compete for a .500 record (which is absolutely not good enough in season four of a regime).

But this is about a league average team in my view, and against a back up on a short week, the Giants have every advantage.

Thanks man!

I think things are playing out much like I felt over the Summer.

The offensive line is a mixed bag, the defensive line has taken a step back with the departures, Barkley will ease back slowly, the skill guys who missed time will be non-factors for a while.

I never got too excited about Jackson. I like investing in the secondary, but his output was lean in Tennessee. I think Shurmur played Graham, and attacked the middle of the field where Graham likes to blitz.

This isn’t a good team, it’s an average team. I think WFT is also an average team. But starting a basically unknown, inexperienced QB on 2 days practice. I think Graham is going to obliterate him.

and our record was 1-6? Sure, i'd feel ok about the game.

This one is too important. I don't feel good about this game even though I probably should. I say should because Washington aint all that and now they don't have a real QB, but this is NYG we're talking about.

Prove it Thursday. Then win another one after that. Then don't fold after that and I will start to believe.

The only reason for you to post this is you’re apparently patting yourself on the back for thinking the Giants and Jones both suck. Is that accurate? Of course it is. The constant need for Giants fans to be proven “right” is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen. It’s pathetic, actually. Who gives a shit if fans think the Giants can win 7 games? It really bothers you that much?

Mentioned same in another thread about Logan Thomas. Would imagine WFT is going to try attack with Thomas since Giants did such a below average job with the Denver TEs. Also easier throws for the inexperienced QB.

Presume though Graham will have Thomas covered in the gameplan so hopefully the Defense can rebound here. A little more man-to-man on the outside and a little more bodies flooding the middle of the field would help versus what we saw last week.

This was exactly my reaction. But since he says he’s on the up and up, let me just point out that the experts at The Athletic make WFT the favorites. Michael Beller thinks WFT wins by at least five points, and says this:

“I see little chance that the Giants’ offensive line can keep Chase Young, Montez Sweat and company off Daniel Jones. The Giants’ surest way to keep the Washington pass rush honest would be to deploy a fully healthy Saquon Barkley, but, likely, he’ll still be operating at less than 100%. The strongest unit in this game is, without question, Washington’s defense, and they’re playing at home on a short week.”

I hope Beller’s wrong, but that’s a long way from calling the Giants a lock. And I still suspect Christian doesn’t really think that, either.

Chill out buddy. I’m just being consistent and not completely changing my view on the team because they had a rough first week.

The football gods have thrown the Giants a bone. On a short week this early in the year you’re relying on Summer reps and experience.
I think we are about to find out if Graham is truly the black picasso  
Zeke's Alibi : 9/15/2021 11:29 am : link
or merely a scheme guy. WFT presents a lot of the same problems that Denver does offensively. We see another perforamce like Sunday and I'm thinking I (and many others) bought into the hype.

Really understand why we played things the way we did last year because the offense was totally abysmal, they weren't good Sunday, but they weren't bad and that's a great defense(even without Chubb). We need to start calling the defense to give the offense a better opportunity for success and to see if they sink or swim. It's an offensive league.

No Dalvin Tomlison and adding a second corner changes the calculus on how you need to call games. We just aren't going to win first and second down as much as we did last year creating 3rd and manageables that with the way Graham calls they'll convert at a high clip. We are about to find out if the Broncos were an abberation or a trend.
Maybe there was a chance...

No, the Giants aren't going to go down to Washington and smoke the team. They will be lucky to win by 1 point. WFT is at least as good as the Giants, and probably better.

That's the narrative until something changes. Give me an effing break with the "we're gonna smoke somebody" nonsense. The feel good crap with this team is officially over, there is nowhere to hide.

I think we see McKinney permanently supplant Peppers, and the starters are Ryan and McKinney. Peppers had a flat out abysmal game is pass pro. He gave 5 catches on 5 targets, 3 for first downs.

I think Jackson was overpaid, but I don’t think he’s as bad as he showed Sunday. But that’s one to keep an eye on.

Shurmur threw directly into the blitz, knowing the inside pass rush is where Graham wants to go, and the middle of the field would be vacated. Graham needs to disguise that and bait better. Carter Coughlin played 4 snaps and blitzed 4 times. Shit like that needs to be less easy to guess.

It’s no great referendum on the season or Giants when they do, but there’s no chance on a short week, with a guy with 1 career start, 92 career attempts, who went to Old Dominion, and was a reserve quarterback for the St. Louis BattleHawks of the XFL during its lone season in 2020. — wins a division game on a four day week.at QB the Giants don’t destroy WFT.


Really? Suppose this guy went to Northern Iowa (but didn't start for his college team), was the third string QB on the Rams, and had on his resume starting qb for the Iowa Barnstormers of the Arena League on his resume? Think that would be an easy win?

Wrong. Kurt Warner was MVP and won the Super Bowl that year (2000), with that on his resume!!! No one knows how good Heinecke will be yet, but there's every chance he's better than Terry Bridgewater, who shredded our defense.

Oh, and where is the offense coming from to "smoke WFT"?? Our running game? Where Barkley had a 2.6 average? Our Passing game? Did you see a 300 yard game last week that I didn't see? Oh, our Offensive Line? Our Defensive Line that couldn't hold and edge, Our Shutdown (not) corners, or Our tackling machine LB's?

Hey, Washington is JUST as desperate to win this game, if not more. They're playing at home. Yes, we have had their number, but that only goes so far.

As far as the playbook being leaked, that's no big deal. It's not like everyone isn't aware of what Garrett runs, and will be prepared for it. I am sick to death of watching other teams WR's run free, and seeing no separation from our guys. There's talent there, it's just that the schemes being run don't work, and our OC is too stubborn to change.

I see a low scoring game, where WFT will wait for our Offense to self destruct, something it has been very good at. I expect at least 1 int and 1 fumble. WFT 17, NYG 10. The Giants will continue to struggle on offense.

yeah, we will be lucky if we don't lose.  
Dinger : 9/15/2021 5:15 pm : link
We beat them by a combined 4 points in two games last year; a one point 'win' that was really a Riverboat Ron gift at home and a 3 point squeaker at FEDEX. Not saying we don't have a good chance, but odds are they are more due than us. If we go into it looking at what we've done against them in the past we are surely doomed. I feel like its a divisional team away game with a strong defense and a QB who has nothing to lose and is mobile. My heart is with the Giants but my moneys on WFT.

WFT handed the ball to the Giants on the 20 for the go ahead field goal, then missed the winning field goal.

Add that to Slayton dropping a dagger TD.
