Would be nice to have Leonard Williams back out there.
The Bears defense has the same priority as Giants D... stop the run. Giants are second in NFL averaging 5.6 yards per carry (thank you very much Saquon Barkley), which da Bears defense is allowing 4.8 yards per carry (22nd in NFL.)
Giants pulled their Guards with a good deal of success. Early on against Carolina, they tried the same thing and Frankie Luvu** came screaming into the vacated area and nailed Saquon Barkley in the backfield. Ever since that play seems like Kafka relegated that run to the back of his playbook!
** This undrafted FA out of Washington State is having a very nice season and is on an early pace to hit the century mark in total tackles.

The Bears ruled Cairo Santos out for today’s game. Michael Badgley will be the kicker.
Signed Saturday, Badgley kicked in 12 games for the Colts last season after spending 2018-20 with the Chargers. This is his first regular-season game kicking at MetLife Stadium.
so far this season. That is the #1 challenge for Giants defense which is 28th in the NFL allowing 5.3 yards per carry.
This is why I think the Giants will lose today. The Leo Williams loss combined with the Bears' run game combined with the Giants' poor depth at WR I think is too much for them to overcome. I hate to say it, but Bears 16 - Giants 10. I REALLY hope I'm wrong of course. Go Giants in today's 80s jerseys especially!

The Bears have zero offense. Stats are a tad meaningless based on who these two teams have played. The Bears played a somewhat depeleted Packers team and were destroyed. They played the Niners with Lance in a absolute mudbowl, with standing puddles of water all over the field and squeaked out a win becuase the 49ers offense couldn't do anything.
They came back and beat a bad Houston team who could have put the game away but hard to do when Lovie Smith is your coach.
If the Giants play sound, get some run game going, their highly efficient short passing attack should wear the Bears defense down.
This is a real game to judge Thibs and Ojulari on ...
Hopefully, Thibs and Ojulari actually make an impact this week.
For this game, if Ward is out also then we are not winning this game. It's a game we all would like to win and we could win, but a team with such a lack of depth, with injuries to key players for this game, it just don't feel good at all. If we win it will be Jones who has a great game and the offensive line having a big game. We are not going to do great against the Bears offense. If you expect us to shut them down you are going to be disappointed. We need to score 24 to win this game, at least 24. They have good recievers and running Backs, plus a running QB, that is a huge problem for this defense without Williams.

Sterling Shepard (torn ACL, our first season) is here to cheer the team on. Just walked/limped into back door of the locker room, no crutches #Giants
Giants 9. We can't stop the run period a d the OL is still shit.
there's really no excuse to get beat at home by a historically bad passing attack and rookie head coach.
the bears obviously had no first round pick last year and they are carrying 20m more than the nyg in dead money - so they have 10% less $ on the field, a QB deficiency, a general talent deficiency, and a similar experience deficiency with new leadership.
if daboll/wink/kafka are the guys this is a game they win.

He was injured so much and never a star, but no one on this team had more heart than Sterling Shepard.
At least he qualifies for a bit of cap relief. But he has reverted to the player he has always been, and the Giants are stuck with his salary. If he were being paid week-to-week, he probably would have been cut on Wednesday.
Not sure how you are getting to five. Three at best.
bears have montgomery and johnson out, plus kicker. injuries aren't a big edge either way and if they are it may tilt towards nyg in a game where kickers could be the difference. johnson is very good.

The bears are one of 3 NFL teams thst haven't allowed a second-half touchdown this season. They're pretty decent defensive team. That's where the Giants could lose.
Does DJ Davidson and Jaylon Smith get more snaps and make a difference
so far this season. That is the #1 challenge for Giants defense which is 28th in the NFL allowing 5.3 yards per carry.
True that.
When is any day a good day to have him out?

Question is, can put up more than 17 points?

The Giants are 2nd in yards per carry and the Bears are 22nd against the run

And that means turning to Daniel Jones and our lethal passing attack...
So it goes back on today.
I am clearly doing my part to help the team win...

The Bears are one of three teams in the NFL (Denver, Cincinnati) not to allow a second-half touchdown.
Think it’s an MCL sprain, same injury as Leo. They’re not going to rush him back, probably another two weeks is my guess.
