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.

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.
Too funny... you got me laughing with that one.

You really think this is ALL about Xavier McKninney?

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.
Exactly!
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.
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.
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.
You don't see that often.
