action, but seeing how Dallas and Arizona ran the ball down our throat, I'd like to see bigger people at the LOS (like A’Shawn Robinson and Rakeem Nunez-Roches) and if that means sitting Kayvon Thibodeaux or one of our 5 DBs for a few series... that's fine with me. Really hard to win in the NFL giving up 150 yards a game on the ground.
glad they won, live to fight another day. at least they come home
1-2 at worst and play SEA at home for once with 10 days to prepare, BUT:
I'm still pissed. The first possession on both sides were a joke. 0-20 at halftime? YOU CAN'T BE SERIUOS!
Wink stinks. Sorry. They couldn't even sniff a sack against a shit team with a bad QB. Lucky for Wink AIR missed a FG or it's OT at best. They've given this "mad scientist" everything he wanted literally letting him choose a 1st round pick and he can't dial up any pressure.
Did Daboll secretly take over the play calling? I've heard and seen rumors. Suddenly the deep ball was in play and the Safeties had to drop back, the whole offense opened up.
RE: Couple of points about the interceptions off Barkley's hands.
Throwing to Saquon involves higher inherent risk than with most RBs - not because his hands are especially bad, but because of the attention he attracts. On a tip drill, there are likely to be defenders around to capitalize. Barkley needs to put even more of a premium on securing the catch, perhaps at the cost of a half-beat in turning upfield.
Of course, it can happen to anyone: Kyren Williams had a similar miscue today; it completely changed the course of the Rams-49ers game, and perhaps of the season in the NFC West. But having it happen twice in two games suggests a trend that needs correction.
Ideally, Barkley wouldn't feature so prominently in the passing game. So far, play action and the threat of Saquon out of the backfield have been among the few things providing Jones time to throw. That's the key challenge for Thursday. The Rams seemed to find a way today, until that fluke Kyren Williams play, and I'm not sure their line is any better than ours.
Anyway, we'll get a look at "running back by committee" on Thursday. I hope it's not a case of "Be careful what you wish for." On the positive side, after rebounding from 60-0 over the first six quarters of the season, we can have some confidence that the Giants won't let a dispiriting prime-time loss (if it comes to that) deflate them.
Interesting point re tips.
I'm bummed Barkley got hurt. Had he not, I'd expect he'd be focusing hard on the receiving aspect of his game moving forward because that's the kind of guy he is. But over the course of a few games I expect to see Breida perform well enough that he and Barkley become Exhibit A in why you don't break the bank for running backs.
Bonus that Breida's time to shine will be in SFO where he started out (averaging 5 YPC BTW).
Will definitely make this one of their replays of the week. They take the top three most exciting games and re-air them. And I can’t wait to watch because it didn’t air in DC so I only had the game thread. Which was crazy. I was even piling on and I couldn’t see the damn game. But BBI painted one hell of a picture. Can’t wait to see this game.
in the second half (which it’s blatantly obvious he did).
Why are Daboll and Kafka not on the same page with running the offense? The offensive strategy in the second half of this game (when Daboll took over the play calling) was vastly different than the previous 6 quarters. I’m perplexed by this.
Where are you guys getting thid info thar BD took over the play calling?
