run this year. This offseason is about bolstering the roster to compete with the likes of the Cowboys and Eagles. The Eagles o-line and d-line has dominated the Giants for years.
First, important players returned from injury.
Second, those players prevented the Eagles from scoring 40 points.
A surprising year. Reasons to be optimistic.
Improved 5.5 games. I am excited for next year when we have another draft and more cap space with this regime. Expectations are high but the future is bright.
When we had third and short in eagles territory on the next drive and Neal gave up a ludicrously easy sack to end that drive… after that it felt like we were chasing our tails.
This team needs some improvement at the linebacker level
on the tape that the players and coaches won’t like. I think the Eagles wanted it more. The Giants thought they were prepared for this game but they were not. This is a good step for them but it’s learning from failure.
That includes OLB zero pressure and poor contain as a whole. Kayvon will improve but talent needs to be added going forward.
Ojulari and Thibs both strike me as really good secondary pieces, not "the" guy. Ojulari to be fair was banged up all year...but that makes him another question mark going into next year.
We had to have great QB play to be competitive today but I did not see a complete no show by the defense. Especially the front 7. Just brutal beatdown for those groups. Has to be upgraded as we were 0-4 vs Philly and Dallas regular season. Can't continue to be whipping boys in our own division. Lots of roster changes coming.
Did Dabes shake Sirianni's hand at the end of the game?
Was wondering cuz I saw him meet up with Hurts, who he's obviously got some positive history with in college, but not sure if he just walked off after that with the new Mike Murphy replacement security guy.
and then only won 2 of our last 8 or 3 of our last 9 if you include playoffs.
Was kind of strange seeing people act like we were on some kind of roll.
Quoting raw stats like this with no context is wrong. We played the easier part of our schedule early. The final 9 games included 3 vs Philly, 2 vs Minny, 2 vs Wash, and 1 vs Dallas. Those teams had a combined record of 47-20, or 70% winning %. Of course our record would be worse.
In the end we won 9 games and won a road playoff game. Quite an achievement from where we were, and a great building block year.
We found a good HC and staff.
For us to compete in the NFC East against the Eagles and Cowboys we need to be competitive at the LOS. We are not unfortunately.
We cannot ignore that fact going into free agency and the draft.
Schoen and Daboll have seen that for sure.
of having insufficient fronts that Reese started and Dave continued. We have a few to build with. Schoen needs to add more.
Play the perimeter game you might have some nice regular season seasons and get in the playoffs until beaten by a team who has those fronts. Tonight shows the need for one upper tier QR and two good ones alongside.
Good effort by the staff and players this year. Short week didn't help.
Now its Schoen's time to fix it. He can call his mentor Parcells if he needs any help. Welcome to NFCE football. Physical teams is what wins here. Its never changed.
Shane Steichen absolutely spanked Wink
DJ was awful
Our pass-rushers didn't even touch Jalen Hurts
I mean it was just awful all-around. We have a lot of work to do.
We will be better next year!!
#44 can keep him company
This is really true.
I don’t even know what to critique because the game itself felt like it never started for the giants.
At some point, someone needs to learn something about the Eagles. We look like we have no idea how to play them.
Keep rebuilding. Looking forward to the draft.
Go Niners. Then go AFC
Well, Jihad Ward did grow up an Eagles fan...
Second, those players prevented the Eagles from scoring 40 points.

But remember that two years ago, the Eagles were nowhere near this good.
Giants’ arrow is pointing up. Excited about the coming years.

They always beat the shit out of us at the LOS. Until we get better upfront nothing will change.
Ok Joe Schoen the ball is in your hands.
Was kind of strange seeing people act like we were on some kind of roll.
Terrible no show, the Eagles wanted it more and it showed.
For a Very Long Time Now...
Eagles showed what the state of the art looks like. We were physically dominated from the get go.
Willl be fun to watch us improve.
Opposing RB runs into a bunch of white and pushed the pile. Our RB runs into a defender and goes down.
DJ was dreadful. He had a lot of company.
Everyone keeps saying talent disparity, but a couple weeks ago the backups put up a better showing.
It was iffy that we would keep it close, let alone win, but the Giants came out looking to lose.
Ojulari and Thibs both strike me as really good secondary pieces, not "the" guy. Ojulari to be fair was banged up all year...but that makes him another question mark going into next year.
Giants need to bank two more good draft classes, and they’ll be in business.

Yes. Very fair assessment.

This feels a lot like the 2005 loss to Carolina.
