Nervous about McCaffrey

LawrenceTaylor56 : 9/18/2023 8:15 am
Seeing what James Conner did to the Giants defense yesterday, I sure hope Wink has something planned to slow down the Niners offense.

McCaffrey looks back to his old form these past two games.
First adjustment is Simmons in  
nygiants16 : 9/18/2023 8:18 am : link
he has the speed to break on Mccaffrey in the flat..

It looks like Aiyuk got banged up yesterday so if he is out that at least takes one weapon off the field..

My biggest worry is the San Fran defense, they have the speed at LB to stay with Waller, its going to take a superman effort from Jones
The Giants defense was atrocious yesterday  
Essex : 9/18/2023 8:18 am : link
the last two drives we got stops but it was not only because we stepped up our play, we did, but also because Arizona was shooting itself in the foot with penalties (3 false starts on final two drives and the offensive PI penalty)

I mean Cardinals only scored 8 points and only scored on 1 drive in the 2nd half
There is nothing about the 49ers not to be nervous about

It’s another Cowboys/Eagles type of matchup. Pick your poison.

We got stops only on the last three drives. One drive they were in scoring position and got killed by a borderline OPI. The next two drives were killed by false starts. Don’t go fooling yourself about what happened.
The deck is clearly stacked against the Giants this week. I’m hoping

They don’t get shut out and are at least competitive for half the game.

If they get past the first 6 games at 3-3, the season should be salvageable.

Simmons would get destroyed Vs CMC. That isn’t how you defend a guy like that. He should be getting bracketed a lot. He’s too agile and quick for Simmons. Simmons couldn’t defend Ferguson 1 v 1 Vs cowboys. Got burned on a simple curl on 3rd and 7. Lucky it went through the dudes hands. Zone is the way to defend the 9ers. Can’t man up Vs them. Expect a bunch of hybrid coverages. Half field zone half man etc
I don't expect to win this game  
larryflower37 : 9/18/2023 8:42 am : link
Hopefully we are competitive then we have 10 days to get ready for Seattle we need that game to get back to even.
3-3 after 6 would be a good start.
I cannot offer  
pjcas18 : 9/18/2023 8:47 am : link
you words of encouragement. McCaffrey will likely keep up his assault on the record books Thursday and beyond (until he is injured).

What I can do is help with the nervousness. Don't be nervous. I read a post on here about someone who was "terrified" of Deuce Vaughn. lol. Stop being a pussy.

So Daniel Jones has thrown 3 INTs threw two games—two weren’t his fault at all. You don’t want to look under the hood?!?!? That seems to me to be a foolish thing to do. Glad we got the win, glad the offense woke up, but this team inspires no confidence at this moment that they can take down an elite offense and defense in the niners
the thing  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 9/18/2023 8:52 am : link
is the Giants are coming off an incredibly draining, emotional victory and having to play one of the top teams in football in their stadium without even practicing for the game.

Good luck with that.

ryanmkeane : 9/18/2023 8:57 am : link
I really think Giants should just empty the kitchen sink in this game. Who cares. Just do an extension of the entire second half and see what happens.
we're going to get smashed  
islander1 : 9/18/2023 8:57 am : link
we knew it a month ago.

The only difference is we really hoped to finally beat Dallas.

I thought they're practicing on short week schedule at ASU.

Here's a flip side for you: the short week is a silver lining because the emotion and positive vibes of the comeback carries right into the next game.

That's all I got.

Wouldn't worry so much about McCaffrey and the Niners weapons. The thing that sets them apart if the physicality on both lines. They just destroy people up front and with their LBs too. They are incredibly fast at every position.

NFL teams hold their first real practice on Wednesday after a Sunday game. The Giants will be traveling on Wednesday.

The best they can do is a walk-thru on Tuesday. Can't have a real practice.
I will say, as I always do, that I despise Thursday games  
Greg from LI : 9/18/2023 9:21 am : link
Expecting the Giants to play a team like SF, on the road, four days after their previous game, is a joke.
You should be nervous  
Dave in PA : 9/18/2023 9:27 am : link
This game is coming at a terrible time, both the opponent and the short week factor. SF might rush for 200 on Thursday
they should do away with Thurs night games/SF is going to eat up the D  
richinpa : 9/18/2023 9:30 am : link
Hate any team having this short a week no matter what..its stupid. NFLPA needs to stand up on this

Cardinals put up 28 with a backup QB. And we only stopped them like twice (when it mattered) with help of penalties

SF is going to eat this defense alive. There is nothing positive I can think of with this D right now. No pass rush. Cant stop the run. TE's had their way with us. And the CBs are rookies. D backfield looks lost as Adore should not be the slot

Unless the Offense can hold onto the ball with long drives and not get killed, this game doesn't set up well for us

Thanks Eric. I guess it's 2 walkthroughs (link).

Well it's only a 2 hour flight and SF has a short week also. And it's not like our normal schedule was leading to early game excellence.

I'm going to take my rose colored glasses off now and get some work done.

Johnny5 : 9/18/2023 10:15 am : link
I can't even see how this game was approved for the schedule, by anyone. The league wants competitive games in primetime.

Aside from the EXTREMELY short week after an emotinal rollercoaster... SF matches up against the Giants the same way Dallas and Philly do. And now we will be without two of our best players in Thomas (likely) and Barkley. With Evan Neal clearly sucking as bad as he did last year.

The way our defense has been playing and the invisibility of our pass rush? I am fully expecting another completely uncompetitive beatdown from SF on Thursday night. I never miss a Giants game... but thank the Lord I am camping in Lake George from Thurs to Sun.
I’m more worried about Nick Bosa  
HarryCarson53 : 9/18/2023 11:11 am : link
Unless Neal gets help, it could be a big night for Bosa.
I’d worry about him
