Not the be-all-to-end-all stat, but usually indicative of how well a team is protecting its QB and how much pressure a team is getting on the opposing QB.
Giants are 3rd in the league for most sacks allowed (13). Washington & Cincy both have allowed 15. On average, the Giants are the 2nd worst NFL team based on the number of sacks allowed per pass attempted, allowing a sack for every 7.1 passes. Only da Bears are worse (a sack every 4.5 passes.)
Giants are 3rd from last (30th) in sacking the opposing QB (3). Las Vegas and Arizona are tied for the fewest sacks at 2. The Giants are averaging 1 sack for every 31 times the opposing offense throws the ball. That's good for the 30th rank as well.
against Denver, Washington and Atlanta, the Giants generated 6 sacks, while allowing 8 sacks.
Welp, we are losing the LOS on passing plays. Often. And if this trend continues, we will be drafting in the Top 10 easily, with a very fine chance of a Top 5 pick.

Maybe the point is their Giants can't protect their qb and are unable to generate a sufficient enough pass rush to get the the opponents qb. These stats will lead to more loses than wins?
You took the words right out of my mouth!
At 2-1 we are in bonus territory

So, Eric has called this a "meaningless" year and you are calling it a "rebuilding" year. Well, then... maybe the two victories are not really a "bonus" after all since they will only push the Giants further down the Draft Board when they are desperate for front line talent, including a brand new QB!

this team is rebuilding -- this was never going to be a winning season.

You don't understand the process at all. You're totally a knee-jerk poster. It's annoying.
that is not my intent.
that is not my intent.
We're all frustrated.
But this is a rebuilding year.
I said weeks ago and keep saying it, most of the offense is going to be swapped next year. This is going to take a few years. We started over again. What happened from 2012-2021 doesn't count. We get no credit from it.
We starting at the bottom again.
To those who have bought in to the "process" please understand that the frustration expressed on multiple threads comes from people who are here, rooting and still following the team.
Ownership has made so many wrong decisions the "Here we go again" mentality is natural but instead of throwing the towel in as fans we care and find it hard to understand that other teams draft players that come in and impact the game, and we seem to swing and miss all too often.
A rebuilding team means turnover year to year will happen, and definitely for the 2022 Giants, personnel will be a revolving door at some positions moving into 2023. Among the highest changes on this roster will be both lines.
Next we will stop being boring. Then we will stop being bad.
When a team was as Dumb as we were under Gettleman, it takes some time.

I was just saying to a friend that it's possible Wan'dale Robinson is the only Giants WR that will definitely be on the roster next season. It seems like it'll be difficult to move guys like Golladay and Toney, but they certainly don't seem to be in the team's long-term plans, and Shepard has played his last game as a Giant. Sills or Collin Johnson could be back, but I wouldn't say they're guaranteed.
