Would the Giants be considering...

56GiantsUK : 11/24/2022 4:38 am
Pulling Jones and Barkley for this game ?

Unlikely I know but...

Thinking bigger picture, why risk those two when we need them for more winnable games when we become healthy, or should I say if we ever get healthy.

Thomas has to stay in as we don't have anyone else.

But given the fact we are putting out a weaker starting offense than the first preseason game, considering resting Jones and Barkley.

Start Tyrod Taylor and give the more physical backs we have the chance to pound the rock.

If we are going to get hammered anyway, keep the two pieces intact to fight another day and let Barkley heal.

Obviously they would not broadcast this until the last minute to spring it on the Cowboys.

And I don't want to see that smug git in this box in Jerry world basking in his Thanksgiving glory.

It would also post a statement that we are in dire straights with injuries beyond any other team in the league right now.
Man, what happened to Giants fans?

to hell with that approach

F that
I didn't say  
56GiantsUK : 11/24/2022 4:55 am : link
I was asking for this

I said would they be considering this given the catastrophic injury list going into the game

no coach  
mpinmaine : 11/24/2022 5:06 am : link
that is worth anything would consider resting players because they think they are out manned/

That would be a J Judge move down 3=0 in the first half...AT HOME! AGAINST THE SKINS!
I tried this with my fantasy football team

and it didn’t work out well.
Why don’t we just  
bmgints : 11/24/2022 6:25 am : link
Punt on first down?
You’re asking  
JB_in_DC : 11/24/2022 7:50 am : link
If the giants will purposely tank a game against their biggest rival on national tv?

This is the NFL not the NBA. The giants will be starting Jones and Barkley and trying their damndest to win the game.

grow a set, go out and fight, yeah you might lose simply because of to many injuries but come out and fight..

Sit Jones and Barkley? nut up nancy
I don’t get some people here

The Giants are 7-3, finally playing meaningful games in late November and we have fans that want to bench the best players in a road division game.

I’ll never understand if.

even if they get their doors blown off, they control their own destiny going forward with a lot of players coming back next week

That's so crazy it just might work. Someone get 56GiantsUK a direct line to the coaching staff!
This might be the dumbest...

Thing I have ever read on this site lol
Keep in mind that

Thomas is questionable so theoretically a 50% chance he does not play. I would never sit those guys, since it sends such a bad message. But I would have a pretty quick hook. If the game is out of control, I might find an injury to Jones and Barkley that merits sitting the rest of the game. Especially Jones. Especially if AT doesn't play, since I really don't want to watch DJ get killed. Heck it might make sense to bring back the Judge strategy and run nothing but Quarterback Sneaks (a la Backyard Football for those who remember it).
WTF

There is no Probable designation anymore. Questionable does not mean 50% line it used to.

Yup. Or writing million dollar game checks. These guys are paid handsomely to do a job.
Football is too dangerous  
81_Great_Dane : 11/24/2022 9:44 am : link
to risk having our best players on the field. They can do interviews and pose for pictures but not play football. Only other teams can play their best players. They are foolish to do so and will regret it. Unlike our Giants.

And no good players should ever return kicks or punts. Only guys who stink and therefore are completely expendable.
This is one of their most important games left  
JonC : 11/24/2022 9:46 am : link
They'll have to go with the horses they've got, just as they have most of the season.

I expect early exits from key players if it gets out of hand.

Yeah the coaches message we are not as good as Dallas so we will let them win. LOL!Kills me
What?!

Only individuals with a weak mindset and loser mentality would even think, let alone mention, that. Geez.
Just got the F away  
Matt M. : 11/24/2022 10:52 am : link
and take anyone who agrees with you.

JFC - why even play the game at all?
If you pull Jones and Barkley  
UConn4523 : 11/24/2022 10:55 am : link
just pack up the rest of the season and fire Daboll while your at it.

How can anyone think this way?

It’s also a big game to evaluate Jones. The OP is basically admitting Jones is not a difference maker and should be benched.

Imagine a Bengals fan saying that about Burrow?

I disagree greatly with the OP but I don’t think he’s admitting anything other than that we are severely undermanned.
Probably should leave Daboll and the coaching staff back

in NY too, why risk any chance of death or injury on the plane
No way  
kelly : 11/24/2022 12:29 pm : link
Games like this tell you a lot about the character of the team , coaches, players.

We may learn a lot about this team as the game is played. I will be rooting hard especially for the players who haven't played much and now have to step it up.
I’ve seen some takes

Damm, we're all out here playing checkers, and then you come in with some serious 3D chess action. Well played sir, well played - extra slice of pumpkin pie for you.
Fortunately, Daboll  
Dave on the UWS : 11/24/2022 3:15 pm : link
doesn’t think that way. He’s going to have his team compete as hard as they can and try to win the game. (That’s what I want in my head coach
That’s not how this head coach thinks.  
Giant John : 11/24/2022 3:38 pm : link
So not happening. I’d not be surprised if he sat them if we’re losing by 30+ going into 4th quarter. I’ve mentioned though they could both get hammered behind the line we are putting out there today. Hope they get through this OK.
