They played that bad, but were still in the game

section125 : 9/27/2022 7:54 am
Ok, Yes that was brutal to watch. The oline was a sieve and the dline was a sieve. The WRs dropped many balls that were 1st downs. They got a bad PI called just before halftime that likely would have gotten points. (2nd week in a row - need a letter to the NFL??)

Despite that, they lost by 7 points and had a chance on the last drive to tie it.

Think about that. As poorly as they played, and it could not have been much worse for the interior of both lines, they were still in the game with 1:50 to go. If Sills doesn't stumble, who knows(not much likely).

They played their asses off. They never gave up. Think of all the passes that WRs had in their hands that they dropped and yet were still in the game.

Made a horrendous drop that looked like a fumble to me. That rule sux- clearly he caught the ball and was making a football move to progress. It was not a drop….but hey, no one is asking me about what the rules should be.

its great they have Thomas as stud LT and Neal will be good I think once the growing pains subside, but as I've said ad nauseum, if the C and interior are weak the Ts don't matter. every play will get blown up.

why only 14 carries for Barkley? he should be getting the ball until he can't breathe.

They REALLY missed Leonard Williams last night. Run D radically weaker.

Justin Ellis was terrible. Yes they missed LW badly.

Barkley averaged 5.8 yards. Yes he should have had the ball more. On at least three other occasions he almost broke a big one.

“Both teams suck?”

Dallas’ defense sure looked pretty good to me. Gano was his usual beasty self as well, and of course, Jones took a beating no man should have to take and kept on ticking all the way up till the final pass that clumsy Sills fell down on.
Giants are going to be an ugly team this year

win or lose its going to be ugly, they had the momentum last night after the Barkley score and the defense just couldnt hold, if they got a 3 and out there the building would of been elctric and Giants might have been able to ride that momentum

I believe this coaching staff will have them playing better next week. They themselves were not good(coaches), but with this group, I think they will keep making the correct moves with what they have. Attitude of the team is good. Hope they get a chip on their shoulders and fight harder.

right. they had to defend Barkley and who else? not hard to do. The Giants OL was awful.
