If the defense gets a stop there, do you think the Giants win? Commanders still had three timeouts. But all Giants would have had to do is likely get ONE first down and the game is over.
The way the offense was playing, no I don't think the game is over
yes, giants probably run the ball three times and either punt or kick a FG. Washington would then be pinned further back or down 10. The game was likely over if they stop them there.
That happened at the Wash 27 yard line, well within Gano’s range already. Giants probably run 3 plays…if don’t get the first, they used all TOs and Gano kicks a 35 yd FG….up 10.
And the narrative changes completely. That is how fickle everything is. Then we hear that despite being dominated in the second half by Washington D, this coaching staff figured out how to pull out another close win. We are 8 and 4 with a good shot controlling our destiny for the playoffs.
Similarly if Slayton makes that catch at midfield and we go on to win, it would be Jones stepped up big when it was needed—assuming we get a few more plays into field goal range.
Yep .
Guy runs left, throws side arm , 20 yards with no Giant defender nearSamuel.
On a 4th down play.
Our back 4/5/6/7 are slow with slow play recognition, except for AJ, Love, XMc.
But look at the time of possession in the second half. The defense was gassed because the offense was a 3-and-out machine. You win playing complementary football and that did not happen yesterday. The offensive failings and inability to pick up any first downs put the defense in a horrible position.
The QB made a nice play to get his team a TD when they needed it. No shame in admitting that.

A lot of the people who say we can’t expect Jones to be perfect also expect the defense to be perfect. They played well yesterday despite missing Jackson, McKinney, Holmes and Williams for a long stretch.
Ah, right. They run it three times and kick it. Gano makes that 10 out of 10.
didn't realize it was the 27

Gano worries me a bit. His leg strength seems a tad off since he was sick.
Exactly and they were with the wind. That is the easier side of the field to kick
lol
Hahaha.

Someone should have been in position to knock it down at a minimum.
Game would have been over.

what muscles?
Sometimes you have to tip your hat to the other team for just making a big play. That was it. And it was THE turning point - IMV.
The defense stepped up tremendously. We are upset with the tie, but WAS had plenty of chances to win as well.
