Washington & New York on Divergent Paths (Last 4 Games)

M.S. : 11/28/2022 10:00 am

What really sticks out is their defense vs ours. Washington is holding their opponents to only 3.9 YPC and allowing just 59.2% of passes to be completed. New York is nowhere near these defensive stats (4.3 YPC & 65.4%.) Their rushing attack has also been a lot stronger over last 4 games (4.1 vs. 3.7 YPC.)

Truth is, the Giants are playing a very meaningful game in December which is more than any of us had a right to expect. But it is also true these two teams are currently sailing in different directions, and the numerous injuries may just be too much for the Giants to overcome.

to escape that Atlanta game with a win. The stats aside, we have a better coaching staff. I feel good about our chances against them.
Xavier McKinney is getting a huge pass

in my opinion.

His absence has killed this defense.

It has hurt a ton. And then add in Adoree Jackson and the DT injuries to our key back-ups. And then throw in below-par ILBers and you sorta have a recipe for disaster.

Well, it wouldn't be a week on BBI if not for a not so subtle doom & gloom thread from M.S., Haha.
Seems like both fortunes are due to turn

You hear this often and I am believer in it. Giants and Washington are going in opposite directions of late.
huge pass?  
blueblood : 11/28/2022 10:30 am : link
meaning what.. the team should publicly bash him and call out a player they probably want to resign to a long term deal. What fans should be more outraged? So what. You think players actually care about some internet jockeys being outraged?

You really think this is ALL about Xavier McKninney?
This is why we are going in our direction

Not all of this is his fault but since he's an impact player, yes. His absence has very negatively impacted this defense.

By free pass I would point to posts like yours and honestly if I were Daboll I probably would have said something a little more bite than "we're disappointed for him and us". That's all.

And the coaches for having the best CB return punts.

It just might be their biggest game in years.
Regardless of how some of us might think of their overall roster, lets face it...hasn't been a whole lot of winning around these parts for awhile now.
It's not at all on one player

McKinney isn't 'getting a pass', he's paying a price for missing games with money being lost.

Daboll screwed up by not re-thinking putting Jackson on punt return duty.

The run defense hasn't been great for a team with Dexter Lawrence and Leo Williams. It has to start with them.

Also, they started the season hot. They are now not hot. What people have to consider is that they were never really as good as they showed, just hot. That's football. You want to be hot at the right time.

Lost the the Lions too.

Not overly impressed by them. Giants can beat them even with so many guys out. Hit I would love to see Neal and Bellinger back.

The run defense has not been good. With that said I think they did a solid job vs Pollard. Maybe they are turning the corner with the run defense a bit.

Unfortunately, while the D bottled up Pollard fairly well, Elliott gouged them for over 90 yards on something like 16 carries.

Washington and Dallas went to their backups and it actually lifted their teams.

You don't see that often.
