1. I thought Jones played very well. There were a couple of throws you'd like to be better but the way he was moving, finding seams, and delivering the ball was one of his better games.
2. The defense the first half was getting abused in the edges. Dallas kept hitting Thibs and Ojulari with WRs and/or TEs and easily getting the edge on us leading to all the big runs.
3. Ojulari completely blew his assignment after the Barkley TD and, to me, that was the turning point of the game. That gave Dallas life. Ward came in immediately after that.
4. Speaking of Ward ... what a great job he did on the edge from what I saw. You can tell he is a vet and Thibs and Ojulari are still wet behind the ears.
5. Our specials still suck, like really bad. Nobody understands leverage and staying in their lanes. It's embarrassing.
It seemed only time they could get open was throwing illegal screens.
He did the best he could tonight given the cirumstances, but the best he could do simply is not good enough.

Is there any water in that glass?

Weird. You say “given the circumstances”, then refuse to acknowledge just how severe they are and how that affects a QB’s play.
As I’ve said a billion times on BBI, who’re the QB’s that would succeed in a situation like last night’s? Tom Brady is missing the left side of his offensive line, plus his receivers are hurt and the Bucs have yet to score 20 points if you remove a pick 6 by their defense against the Saints. Aaron Rodgers is breaking in new receivers and was missing his starting offensive tackles for a few weeks and the Packers are averaging less PPG than the Giants and Bucs. Even the greatest QBs of all time who’re still playing exceptionally well can’t overcome bad o-line AND shitty receivers. It’s simply not possible and to expect otherwise is just foolish.
KT5 may as well be KT89. I have not seen him make a play in preseason or last night. Was he ever close to a sack? Even if out of shape, he should have got close a few times.
WTF defense di Wink play on the 4th and 4 with the DBs 10 yards off the ball. He handed them the 1st down
The interior of the line may be worse than last year and that is not an exaggeration.
They looked disorganized both coaches and players.
On the PI they called on Shepard, why wasn't illegal contact called on Shep's DB. He was shoving and grabbing as Shep made his cut inside? League said it was upping calls on illegal contact.
Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are two of the greatest QBs of all time. they have earned the benefit of the doubt. the fact that you mention their names in the same sentence as DJ is laughable.
Nope.
The offensive line has been terrible through three games now. Jones rarely has a pocket to throw from unlike the opposing QBs.
Defensively, all we heard about in the off season was about Wink's "exotic blitzes." The scheme was more important than the players. It's not getting to the QB.
Throw in injuries and retched play (looking at you, Golladay) and those first two games look more like they dodged a bullet than outplayed the opposition.

You truly are too thick to understand the point. Nobody said Jones was Brady or Rodgers. He said that as HoFers, Brady and Rodgers could not overcome what Jones had last night - no protection and WRs dropping balls - this was the big one, WRs dropping passes.
Translation (read three or four times before answering) - if Rodgers and Brady would not be able to do anything with that line and those WRs, how can a QB like Jones do anything???...

Reading comprehension isn’t your friend. I’m not comparing Daniel Jones to Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. I’m comparing “the circumstances” that all three QBs have found themselves in at times so far this season. If two of the greatest QBs of all time have struggled given the circumstances around them, why would anyone aside from BBI idiots expect differently from Daniel Jones?
Why do I hear high praise next to his name? Have we ever blocked a punt or FG in his time here?
I agree. Justin Ellis was dreadful. They lost contain a lot. Nobody got near Rush.
Thibs does not look at all good.
So you’re not a fan of him throwing a shoulder into Zeke at the goal line as opposed to trying to wrap him up? He’s a terrible player that any team with a halfway decent roster would’ve rid themselves of long ago.
Crowder and McFadden should have stopped Zeke's TD. McFadden slowed Zeke and Crowder tried to shoulder him down instead of wrapping up. He is not a good MLB.

Stating that those two guys would have struggled tonight playing with this Giants offense, which is probably true, is not equivalent to comparing Jones to either of them.
But ignoring the intended meaning of a comment and spinning it into a narrative that is easy to debunk, is not really a good way to make a point for those paying attention
