DefenseWins : 11/24/2022 7:35 pm
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.

Yeah no doubt.. the injuries put us at a huge disadvantage. This is why you need your better players to step up and for the coaches to help win the game. They actually hurt us today.

We  
AcidTest : 11/24/2022 7:49 pm : link
just ran out of gas. There was also bad clock management at the end of the half, and way too much running of Barkley on first down. Other teams know we are going to do it and gang up to stop it, which just puts our bad OL in second and third and long. I thought after we opened up throwing it indicated we weren't going to do that, but Kafka pretty quickly reverted to doing it, even at the end of the game when we were down two scores. Barkley also looks tired and hurt. Brightwell and Breida need to play more.

Jones was under duress all game, but I still don't think he played well. Really nothing from the WRs aside from Slayton's TD, although Hodgins might stick as a possession receiver next year. Everyone else can go.

Great game from Thibs. Love, R. Williams, and Flott also played well. Holmes was just abused, although two of those holding calls were BS.

Need to get healthy, at least a little between now and Washington. And develop a game plan that doesn't involve wasting every first down by running Barkley. Washington also has an excellent front and will be geared to stop him like everyone else.

Of course, we have to wait until the roster is better. So many fans have irrational exuberance.

Giants had only 10 men on the field and all day long the wrong personnel were on the field and had to run off or have a TO called.

That said, even with ten men, Barkley was wide open for a first down. The pass was a bit behind him but your star player has to make that catch.

Mike from Ohio : 11/24/2022 7:54 pm : link
The pace however in the 4th down two scores was inexcusable. Not sure what anyone (Daboll, Kafka, Jones) were thinking there. None of them seemed to understand it was the 4th qtr.

Defense is just undermanned. Not much you can do with the secondary they had to field and the LBs they have.

The calls were terrible, but the refs seemed to want to be seen on national TV. That dramatic explanation on the Lamb out of bounds catch? They wanted to be on TV.

This year has been good for the team but there is still a lot of work to do before this is a legitimately competitive team.

wma31 : 11/24/2022 7:59 pm : link
Because it felt that a game like today really shows some of the limitations of Jones. He had some easy throws he missed in key spots. Saquon looks a little worn down too. Defense was playing bend don’t break well until the backups got exposed. Wink was bringing blitzes. Live and die with it.

The two game changing plays were the phantom hold penalty on 3rd and long penalty that kept Dallas drive alive to open second half and the 4th and 1 bad pass/drop by Barkley. Team isn’t good enough and too banged up to overcome that.

Didn’t like the pace in the second half on offense.

Overall, it’s kinda of what we expected with a banged up team. Felt DJ and Saquon needed to do more as leaders.

Rest up. Get healthy. On to Washington while still holding on to a playoff spot.

Perhaps, but that doesn't excuse the killing of clock late in the fourth quarter and the 10-men personnel on offense on a critical fourth down play.

It seemed like we went away from the planned rollouts. That worked well in the 1st half and rarely used in the 2nd half. Weird.

Also Saquon is not running angry. I think he is still hurt in some way. He is tackled way to easy and rarely falls forward gaining an extra yard or two like Pollard or Elliot. He was doing this early in the season. I think something is wrong with him.

Glad to see them go to Brightwell at least a few times. Oh well, good game and they did not get blown out even with all the back-ups playing.

had injuries and depth issues but play was weak by our needed guys in Jones and Barkley. Neither played well today when prime opportunities and key spots presented themselves. 2nd half offense looked confused and lethargic in getting plays off.

Clock is ticking on Barkley and Jones. They need to avoid a swoon here in 2nd half.

Phillips was downfield illegally. It didn’t impact the play, and there were plenty of other bullshit calls this game, but that wasn’t one of them.

Guys are a bit delusional. We were in it for a half when the Boys were throwing it, Dak was off, and we got 2 picks.

The second half they ran it, their OL asserted itself, and they made the plays.

Dabes pushed the panic button in the 3rd. I didn’t like the call then but it probably doesn’t change the outcome.

We were trotting out backups all over the place. McFadden, Belton, McCloud, Flott, against their WRs and TEs. Our LBs vs their OL and RBs.

Funny that SB and DJ look crappy like before when our OL got hurt all over the place, huh? It’s almost like there’s a relationship there…

Pace before halftime was weird.

I didn't have a problem with the pace at the end of the game. The goal was to score under 3 minutes and before the 2 minute warning.

If you play it out, it goes like this...

Score a TD with 2:45 left in the game. You have 2 timeouts left plus the 2 minute warning.

Dallas gets the ball with 2:45 left

After Dallas 1st down play, call timeout
After their 2nd down play, call timeout
Stop them on 3rd...2 minute warning

They punt and we get the ball, down 8, with 1:50 left, no timeouts

That's how it was supposed to play out. That's why they weren't rushing

Pin them deep? The Scottish Hammer probably punts it into the endzone, as usual.

Not to mention it’s like 7 minutes left in the game and daboll is running in a jumbo package like they’re ahead or something. And jones is Passing to running backs. If you’re not going to sling it inthat situation well then??

You’re blaming golliday for that? No one sucks that bad it’s all or nothing at that point. I have no idea what daboll is thinking but he doesn’t want to risk a pick 6 and humiliation

The team is lacking talent all over the place but they play hard and compete. The team has little margin for error like the fourth down pass to Barkley . One that I put in the category of could've /should've been caught. The coaching has been meh and they need to pick up their game too.

The Washington game is crucial to the Giants if they want to make any noise the rest of the season. A loss and my attention will turn to who they might draft in 2023. Something I'm not ready to do.

On the Holmes penalty, Dallas ended up scoring a touchdown. It was third and long and they likely punt there or kick a very long field goal. How does that not change the outcome?

The illegal man downfield penalty almost never gets called there, he was 2 yards downfield. That was a 4 point swing.

Not all players develop at the same rate. Parsons is a tremendous player - a true freak. He flat out beat Thomas twice for sacks and just missed a third.

Thibs looks like he will get there, before long. Needs greater strength, no doubt.
Thibs plays the run much better than Osi.

kelly : 11/24/2022 9:36 pm : link
especially considering all the injured Giants.

Having said that, Jones and Barkley came up small. Jones missed several easy throws to the right flat that would have changed the game.

Look at how Barkley runs compared to Brightwell, Zeke, and Pollard. He just doesn't run hard and never has. I can't remember Barkley ever breaking a tackle. No way he should be resigned. Compare Barkley to Meggett and Bradshaw who were much smaller but ran much harder. I want a back that lowers the shoulder and breaks tackles. A back who delivers the blow.

As for Jones, I have been a supporter, but if we keep him you have to build a wall around him. He is not going to carry team on his arm. Our interior line is not good. We need a bunch of mauling 340 pound guards.

Hard to be competitive on defense with so many injuries, our secondary especially. Our inside backers suck also. So effectively we cannot cover any decent receiving targets, meaning tight ends, backs, receivers. So Wink dials up pressure because give a QB time and his receivers will get open.

By the way did anyone notice the catches the Dallas receivers repeatedly made compared to the Giant receivers. Night and day.

It sucks but we are many players away from a good team. It's almost too bad we did not trade barkley at the deadline. I realize we are still in a playoff hunt but we need as many draft picks as possible.

we have to build from the trenches out. until we can control the trenches we are not going to be a playoff caliber team.

On 3rd and 12 and 3rd and 15. They didn’t. Plus given that Dallas went for it in their own territory earlier in the game, they probably go for it instead of punting it. Who knows what happens then.

Complaining about the refs is embarrassing. 0 second half points until garbage time is why they lost this game. The refs weren’t even in the top 5 reasons.

Yeah, you can tell Dak reads defenses well - his two shitty INTs proved it. I suppose being able to just throw a ball in Lamb's vicinity shows his supreme skillz reading the defense. Everytime you post nonsense like this you prove your football acuity.

And yes, Jones missed about 4 open throws today. It may be the nail in his coffin with the Giants. Missing Barkley on the 4th and 1 was about as bad a throw you can make.

They were at the 37. They probably weren’t punting or kicking a field goal, they went for it on their own 40 because they had little respect for the Giants offense. They were going for that if it wasn’t for the penalty and the Giants would have had to make a stop again. The penalty had a tiny role in why they lost today.

Teams deal with bad calls every single game, every single week. NFL officiating sucks. Make a play and get off the field so the penalty doesn’t matter. They had a chance to and didn’t.


The hold on Holmes extended a drive, so yeah it made a difference in the game. That is not whining.

Was the Phillips call a cheapie? Yes it was, but at least it was really a penalty by the rule book.

The Giants got beat because they were butchered, chopped up and eaten on both sides of the line of scrimmage. No doubt about that. But the ref calls in this game still sucked and certainly did not help matters any.

Daniel Jones on the 4th down: “Just a bad throw. I gotta get it out in front of him. Bad throw. Can’t miss that.”

Saquon Barkley on the 4th down: “I gotta make that play. That’s it. I just gotta make the play.”



What we have is an idiot on another thread saying the ball was at Barkley's ankles.

HE has to catch the ball- period.

Blast away at Jones any way you want but Barkley has got to catch that ball.

Okay don't sign Jones next year but this year - today - this game SB has to catch that ball. Giving SB an excuse like that moron tried to is extreme.


Low, at his ankles. Who cares. It was a shit throw and it should have been caught. Who is saying different? One guy is getting more shit for it than the other. Both guys fucked up.

We had excuses this week calling a 4th down interception just like a punt and low vs ankles is what has you riled up?

What a complete bullshit post you make. First off you bring up an irrelevant point about "earlier in the game" when the issue you replied to was THAT pass. What the fuck does "earlier in the game" have ot with that pass?

Instead you just want to just make another dig on Jones.

Tremendous catch? hahhahahhaa lmao.

especially considering all the injured Giants.

Having said that, Jones and Barkley came up small. Jones missed several easy throws to the right flat that would have changed the game.

Look at how Barkley runs compared to Brightwell, Zeke, and Pollard. He just doesn't run hard and never has. I can't remember Barkley ever breaking a tackle. No way he should be resigned. Compare Barkley to Meggett and Bradshaw who were much smaller but ran much harder. I want a back that lowers the shoulder and breaks tackles. A back who delivers the blow.

As for Jones, I have been a supporter, but if we keep him you have to build a wall around him. He is not going to carry team on his arm. Our interior line is not good. We need a bunch of mauling 340 pound guards.

Hard to be competitive on defense with so many injuries, our secondary especially. Our inside backers suck also. So effectively we cannot cover any decent receiving targets, meaning tight ends, backs, receivers. So Wink dials up pressure because give a QB time and his receivers will get open.

By the way did anyone notice the catches the Dallas receivers repeatedly made compared to the Giant receivers. Night and day.

It sucks but we are many players away from a good team. It's almost too bad we did not trade barkley at the deadline. I realize we are still in a playoff hunt but we need as many draft picks as possible.

we have to build from the trenches out. until we can control the trenches we are not going to be a playoff caliber team.


Did you watch him as a rookie? He threw ppl off him as though he was a silverback

Ok, below his knees....it was as bad a throw as I have seen to a wide open player. I saw exactly what Greg saw - Jones' short passes were terrible today. I think he may have doomed his chances at a new contract with today's performance.

Into an argument about the play calling or time management with folks who just refuse to see the overall situation.

We absolutely couldn't go fast as our Oline was getting exposed in obvious passing downs. We were relegated to running, running rollouts etc and straight drop back just wasn't happening.

6 games to make a run but know that we are looking for a QB in the off-season along with WR's , another TE and maybe a G.

I guess you have to assume that the Giants would have actually done something with that first down and you have to assume that Dallas was not going to continue to bash its way through a creampuff defense. If those two assumptions came true, then yes it was a bigger play than I believe it actually was.

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.

that is a easy catch at any level in the game of football. The QB is not always going to hit you in stride, he totally blew it.

I don’t know why you keep crying about the officials, it’s weird.

We’ve got people trying to down play the impact of the 4th and 1 miss, but I’m weird for thinking the penalty didn’t have that much of an impact because they had two more third and longs to stop them on?

The Giants got whooped in the second half. They lose this game without that penalty.

Because we needed a relatively level playing field, and those two penalties affected the scoreboard when the game was still close.

Dak was just throwing balls in CeeDee Lamb's direction every 3rd and long. Maybe if Jones had a CeeDee Lamb he could have done better.

you guys act like the NFL is your local flag tag league. dak can read a defense and knows where he is going with the ball. Jones can’t do either.



Yeah, you can tell Dak reads defenses well - his two shitty INTs proved it. I suppose being able to just throw a ball in Lamb's vicinity shows his supreme skillz reading the defense. Everytime you post nonsense like this you prove your football acuity.

And yes, Jones missed about 4 open throws today. It may be the nail in his coffin with the Giants. Missing Barkley on the 4th and 1 was about as bad a throw you can make.
thanks! I’ll be modest and say it really does not take much acuity to beat yours. You would be wise to pay more attention to my posts.

Rick in Dallas : 11/24/2022 10:48 pm : link
Jones needs to make a more accurate pass and having said that Barkley should have caught the pass that he did make.
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.

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.

Everyone of Dallas’ starters played tonight on both O and D. We had backups at C, LG, RT, TE, Slot WR, WR, CB1, CB2, FS

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Going for it on fourth down only down one, there’s not much to be upset about the game. To be leading at halftime against a 7-3 team on the road while playing a lot of third stringers was an accomplishment. Especially when the third stringers are on the OL and DB.

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.

that if Jones led him more the pass would’ve been batted down by the DE. As it was he barely missed tipping the ball. Should Barkley have caught it probably but it was behind him and possibly his injured shoulder didn’t help him. Before the play I did not want them to go for it but Daboll did bring up good points about the defense being on the field for a long time on the prior series. Either way this play along with the phantom holding and ticky tack OL too far down the field had a huge impact on the game. Btw I was very surprised with all the injuries the game was that close for so long. I didn’t feel like I was wasting my time watching the game like last week and many times over the last few years.

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.

My account is a study of the video; and it's accurate. The pass from Jones was behind SB and at knee level.

If you can't see it, well, you just can't see.

Nothing surprising, really...
Go to the 7:57 mark of the linked video...

and just stop and play frame by frame of the missed 4th down. You will see for yourself.

You're welcome.

Barkley is attempting to catch the ball at knee level. I didn't mean the ball literally hit SB's knee.

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.
Giants just outmanned

other than Thomas, is there a single Giant you would take over Cowboys on offense? No wr, no ol, no te. Maybe Barkley.

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.

on this non-sense. Well, that's actually not true. I've actually have come to expect it.

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.

Jones needs to make a more accurate pass and having said that Barkley should have caught the pass that he did make.
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.
