Hopefully I am allowed to start this thread. Many issues with the team again. Between an anemic offense and a defense giving up big plays, you cannot beat a good team. However, overlay officiating that is criminal, you have no chance.
That said, I also think the coaches had another bad game. Two stinkers in a row for our coaches on both offense and defense.

Why is everyone whining about the refs???
Because we needed a relatively level playing field, and those two penalties affected the scoreboard when the game was still close.
.... Cowboys defense had more penalty yards than any of our skill players. Anyone trying to pin this on the refs is lost.
I supported Jones but growing weary.will he ever be more than what he is now? I don't know.
Maybe we will need to start over. We could make a splash in free agency if we didn't spend money on Jones and Barkley.
That’s worse than originally thought and not worth the complaints
I don't know what NFL you're watching. NFL receivers drop balls all the time, even the very good ones. All QBs have to overcome drops at some point.
We were leading at halftime. The refs sucked balls.
Daboll SHOULD NOT have gone for it at our own 45 that early in the game only down by 1. The fact the pass was off target and Saquon could have caught it is reason enough. Field position is big in a tight game. You need to force teams to go the length of the field.
I really like Daboll, but haven’t Jackson return punts and going for it at our 45 in that situation are 2 very bad decisions.

This team is dealing with 3rd and 4th strings against the 2nd best defensive in the league.
They played well and were in the game until the 4th quarter.
The defense held strong today against an offense that has been on fire with once again 3rd string CB's
Coaching game plan was well put together and Jones played smart.
They were keying on Barkley.
Wink is going to drive you crazy in games but I will tell you he hit Prescott alot today and forced him off his spot more than once.
I am not sure most of understand how limited this team is talentwise. We had 7 practice squad players on offense today .
Defense did their part for as long as they could. Horrible awareness to allow the td on 3rd and goal from about the 15 though on the one drive
Thibs has to make that sack on the start of the 2nd half. To whiff on Dak right there was brutal and they would have gotten the ball right there.
I thought thibs’ missed sack was in the 1st half
The majority of the crowd here likes his speed and getting close. To me he’s a poor man’s osi. Time will tell but he’s a speed demon, not so strong, non 2 way DE… anyone that thinks he’s gonna compare to a JPP year 2 to year 2 is out of their bird imo. Parsons can light the world on fire from the get go but we have to wait till year 3 or 4 for him to “develop”. He’s a top 5 pick. Take over a game
Nonsense. Poor man’s osi?? Osi did fuck all as a rookie. He barely played.
Thibs is flat out a better talent than Osi. If he stays healthy he will be a better pro than osi. You can hold me to that.

DJ had a free back side rusher breathing down his neck so it was a little rushed and behind Sequan but it was on his right hip, hit his hands and he dropped the ball while he tripped. This is the NFL that should be a routine catch. High school players make that play in there sleep Sequan is 100% at fault for that play it was a dropped pass. DJ also needs to make a better throw but it was a very catchable ball by any standard.
You do realize that NFL WIDE RECEIVERS drop passes every Sunday.
Saquon is already shaky at catching. And you're saying he should've 100% caught a pass that he had to reach back for, while running full speed the other way
That is the ultimate "imma fan, I've never played sports" take
Another bullshit post form you guys. COmeplete bullshit.
"Full speed" is complete horse shit! "Full speed" - laughing my ass off.
LMAO -- "full speed!" hahahhaha Is that you Mrs Barkley posting?
SO his hands suck - so that's the new excuse now that you boy shouldn't be allowed to catch a pass unless it's perfect? Poor baby. Why don't you just say "Don't throw the ball to my son. His hands suck and it's your fault if you do throw it to him."
Nonsense. Poor man’s osi?? Osi did fuck all as a rookie. He barely played.
Thibs is flat out a better talent than Osi. If he stays healthy he will be a better pro than osi. You can hold me to that.
Also I thought he made a couple of good reads against the run too.
LMAO -- "full speed!" hahahhaha Is that you Mrs Barkley posting?
Too much wine. Time for bed, Mrs. Jones

I guess you have. You're the idiot that said the ball was at his ankles. Drunk watching the game yet again and incoherent after?
Yeah right the ball was "at his ankles . . ." LMAO.
Because they should have had 3x the penalties. Thanks for asking.
Dallas takes a lot of penalties by design. They are extremely aggressive and play that way on purpose. They should be called for a lot of penalties and the refs still missed too many.
I think we can just move on no? It’s one fucking play that both qb and rb could have handled differently. We’re gonna run a referendum on jones because of THAT play? Christ it wasn’t that bad a pass. Could have been better and wasn’t. Could have been caught but wasn’t. Move along. More games to come.

There is no "referendum."
You make the obvious point the ball should have been caught.
It's the morons that want to keep fighting this simple logic because they want to dig on Jones. Why do they have to keep fighting what is so logical instead of saying "The ball was down at his ankles," and "He was running full speed."
What's wrong with calling them out on such horseshit? If they are going to post horseshit, why is it wrong to point it out?

Fair enough 1 sack down 84 to go plus a lot
Of strip sack fumbles… they’re very similar players. Thibs is more osi than tuck JPP or strahan I think that’s apparent. I stand by it. His toolkit is speed and nothing else

Move on? It was a key play and Jones was asked to make a routine play. And didn’t. Seems kind of important, no?

Not a great throw, but it hit Barkley's hands. If he wants to make $12 million per year he's gotta make that catch.

The QBs job is to throw catchable balls to the receivers. Jones has done this very well on crossers over the middle this season. But touch throws and other high difficulty passes he remains suspect. Every team has receivers who drop passes, the QB needs to make the catches as simple as possible. It's a difficult skill to master and separates many great passers from the pack.

And it also goes both ways.
Receivers need to catch balls that hit their hands.
Then when they tried to press him why that play failed (and they were asking if it was the catch or the pass) he just replied "You can't have that". Asked him if he knew why it happened and he said "Yes" but would not assign blame. I think he leans much more to the pass being off than a missed catch but when it is posted you can decide if you like.
Not the head coach at all - or even the rest of the staff. These guys are good.
I do think Kafka's play calls are suspect on occasion. He seems to lose the rhythm of the game at times.
There is no doubt that this coaching staff has turned a steaming pile of crap into a competitive team - even with all the injuries sustained.

When he says "can't have that, can't happen" he's responding to the question about 10 men being on the field for that play.
It's hard to hear the question because the reporters are talking over one another.
When he's directly asked about the blame for the incomplete pass, he says "we didn't convert it" and I don't see anything to read into that.

and you are down for 10 days before the next game and to get the sour taste out.
Hope we gets some good news about the injured returning against the W.
The GMEN need to win this game and please don't talk about Playoffs cause as Mora said......
Playoffs? Don’t talk about - playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game!

BD was a bit agitated overall in the presser. The beats asked about that 4th and 1. First he said he felt he needed to go for it as Dallas had just completed a very long drive and they needed some momentum. This is why I agreed with the call.

Thanks for posting. I did not hear that question just saw he was agitated overall with the whole sequence of the play.
People can take decide if he is faulting one over the other but he did not point out either the pass or catch directly. He obviously knew it was a huge play and disappointed it was not executed when it was there for the taking.
Bad throw, but Dallas receivers were making great catches all day.
There was so much space in front of him that it could’ve been lobbed in front of Saquon. But if Jones threw that same ball accurately, then Lawrence definitely knocks it down.
The Tyre Phillips penalty and the phantom call on Darnay Holmes (for once he wasn’t holding) made me just as sick.
There was backside pressure by the blitzing safety Donovan Wilson. But Jones had time to get the throw off. Hell, he could have bought some more time by rolling away from the Wilson.
Regardless, Barkley was wide open. And a good throw with touch over the Gallimore and Lawrence easily allows SB to get the first down. But Jones couldn't deliver.
Asking SB, IMV, to make the catch while he's reaching back and falling down while the ball is hitting his knee is laughable.

Yeah right - it's laughable that you mention the ball hit his knee. It's because you were probably drunk watching the game and didn't notice it went through his hands first before it his knee.
You Haters are so full of crap. Your bullshit stories keep coming. Complete bullshit. You have to keep moving the goalposts but its par for the course with you bullshitters.
First you haters say "The ball was at his ankles."
Second you say "Barkley was going full speed."
Third - now you bullshit complete and utter bullshit that the ball hit his knee. laughable from you.
But you have to so desperately try to dig Jones, don’t you? Pathetic. Frankly, the ball didn't even his knee until he rolled over on the ground. Even tighten it might not have.
Newsflash ; His hands were above his knee when his hands of stone screwed up the bad pass.
If you can't see it, well, you just can't see.
Nothing surprising, really...
You're welcome.

SO now it' didn't hit his knee -- so now the story changes yet again?
Anyhow, if you have DVR you would be able to see the ball - the NFL Network Replays - it shows the ball was above his knee and his hands were above his knees.
The ball hit BOTH his hands ABOVE his knees.
Defense about the same

Nothing is changing. It's like saying the ball hit the receiver between the numbers. Which means the ball was right on target.
The ball was behind SB as he was falling down, at knee level, trying to catch Jones's errant pass.

It was above his knees. And his hands were on the ball above his knees. This isn't a 6'3 Wide Reeceiver. Are you suggesting a player can't bend over and catch a ball that hits both hsi hands, not going full speed, while not getting hit?
And when you say that you didn't mean "it hit his knee." But YOU SAID IT DID. Here is what you said:
"while the ball is hitting his knee is laughable."
This is what I mean with you guys - everything changes. I lean toward not signing him too.
Burt you don't have to bullshit to make go after him. Just stop with the bullshit. You would've seen the replay yesterday.
If SB doesn't have hands to catch Jones's errant pass, it hits him in the knee. Does that add color to your world?
I stand by my conclusion - it was a piss-poor pass by Jones and I completely exonerate SB of any blame.

Blame game is popular for sure.
But players catch misplaced passes. Happens all the time.
Both are at fault.
Overall, the Giants played very hard on the road against a good team. I was actually surprised they were in the game and not blown out with all the injuries.
I was with a bunch of Cowboy fans for Thanksgiving, and they all raved about how good Daboll and his staff are for the Giants.
About sums it up for me.
Dissapointed about the huddling/running the ball down 2 scores in the 4th quarter. Felt like I was watching the Eagles-Patriots from 2004 in the Super Bowl.
Many will say they don't trust Jones but I thin they were protecting him to some extent - they didn't trust the OL.

I've already known, never mind expect, that you are a classic bullshitter. And this is just further shows this. You initially say the ball hit his knees. When challenged , all of a sudden you change your tune and claim you didn't say it until I had to prove to you that you did. Your nonsense of blasting of Jones as you keep changing the goalposts is typical. .
You're deliberately looking at a side angle on YT and yet you "conveniently" forget the replays of the game that showed the ball hit Barkley’s hands. HIS HANDS WERE ABOVE HIS KNEES when the ball slipped through his stone hands. Where the ball ended up has NOTHING to do with where the ball slipped through his stone hands.
Big deal you "stand by" your nonsense about Jones. I'm shocked. Shocked that you'd stand by another player vs Jones. LOL.

For many of the posters on here that hate Jones as much as BW and others do, the blame is nearly always on Jones.
Anyone that is fair - they take a look at that replay - the view from behind Barkley - not the side view that BW is trying to deceptively show- you show the view from behind, that pass is above his knee.
And to think those posters didn't see the replays that clearly showed the ball above his knees when it slipped through his hands is completely ludicrous. They saw it. They just want to just blast Jones no matter what. It was a crummy/awful throw but SB is a pro.

Can we agree on this indisputable fact - the ball was poorly placed and behind Barkley, and against the direction he was moving?
Are you at least bright enough to see that?

YYes imo Jones awful throw destroyed a potentially enormously huge play. Overall I'm with you nutjobs but for a different reason on Jones - but I lean ("not sure" but "lean") toward not signing him. Jones has to be better. That blew a potential big chance.
But the fact you are still being this deceptive and ignoring reality is crazy for you to even fight about to even pretend. The ball went through Barkley’s hands. The ball was above his knees. He was not going full speed. No Defender blasted him right away.
You know - nobody gives a shit if you (or anyone else for that matter) are wrong on some things. We are all wrong on a lotta stuff. But the fact you are so willing to be this stubborn because you hate Jones so much that you become this unreasonable is just pretty amazing.
C’mon. You don’t need to bullshit to blast Jones. That play could've been huge. It's indicative of what he misses sometimes, right? So let's stop inventing other stuff. That ball was above Barkley's knee and went through his hands. Barkley is a pro.
