per game. Aren't you forgetting that they would have had about 24 points against Washington if they had a kicker, and 28 against the Browns if they didn't intentionally down it at the one? So that's 16 points a game. Yes, not much different, but it is something. Only scoring 6 in the season opener is what is bringing the average way down.
And I don't care what anyone thinks, this team is going into Seattle and winning the game. This team is almost there. A few tweaks here and there, and they are right back in the thick of things.
Do you think you're even capable of writing a post that doesn't include excuses?

It's not an excuse. My point is it's a misleading stat. The Giants playing horribly in the season opener is what brought that average way down. They have played much improved football since then. Of course, that needs to translate into wins instead of close losses.
We're 1-3 and deserve to be so.
So really, it's like 30 points per game!
We're 1-3 and deserve to be so.
Actually, you could make the argument that the Bellinger call cost the Giants the game. They get a TD instead of a FG opening drive, they may have won. I don't think they deserved to lose last night. They only gave up one big okay to Dallas all night.

so I guess you'll say we're winning every game and a couple of times you'll be correct and brag about it.

Yeah but if a bunch of different things happened it would be 28.
Turnovers are luck for that reason.
Eventually those will stop going in the Giants favor.
We are moving the ball. Slowly but moving it. TDs will happen. We can point to all the flaws, but it's not like flawed teams never score TDs.
Like I said, I am not ready to punt on the season. But some of you apparently are. If they lose to Seattle, I probably will probably have to say it's over.

Do we take away the touchdowns last week that happened because a pick was overturned and Nabers took away another pick?

It’s over.

TDs will happen? How could you say that after watching this offense for the past half decade? Since 2020, the Giants have had more years in the bottom 2 of team TDs (twice) more often than they have been in the top 16 (once)
The “TD” you want credit for. We got the ball at 43 yd line and the defense intentionally tried to allow a TD to score before Singletary gave himself up at the 1
This isnt offense. No DC upcoming on our schedule is pulling this up thinking hiw can I stop this?
Daboll isnt cutting up film to show how we can replicate this.
Its another act if delusion trying to make things seem better than they are.
So did Daryle Lamonica, but I'm not going to count on him to harness that past ability, either.
15 points a game is referenced because that's what they are scoring. Lose the excuses.

Bro, this season was over the minute they didn't add another qb (again). We all expected this...those with blind faith thinking running it back for a 6th time with this overpaid backup QB is just foolish.
If we had Saquon, if we had a place kicker, if so and so was healthy etc.
Sure it makes good conversation but still doesn't change the fact that they didn't score a touchdown, they didn't have a sound offensive line for most of Saquon's playing career here, still doesn't change Daboll's questionable play calling, and there is still a very limited QB in Jones.
If we had a QB that can make more throws etc, we would have a much more dynamic offense which opens up more plays but that's exactly it, it's an "if" and that's all it is.

But there is a point here. If we keep playing offense like the last 3 weeks, we should have somewhere around middle of the league scoring.

Because this js by far the best offense we've had during that period. The OL is good. The receivers are good. Both of those units were horrendous before this year.
Even a QB like Jones - if he has time to throw to these receivers will move the ball and score at a middle of the pack level.
I hate Jones, but he's not a bum they just pulled off the street. He's a good backup / spot starter kind of guy. QBs of that level put up average offensive output all the time if their conditions are good.
A Big F-ing Mess!

Then you look for advantages/disadvantages beyond just scoring. I'm not seeing a lot of advantages we've had in that regard.
7 drives against a crap defense, 13 against a great D, 8 against a D whose vulnerability was run defense (but completely shut us ours down). No advantage there.
Overall talent level: Good WRs, bad TEs, bad RBs, average pass blocking Oline, bad run blocking Oline. I'd say that puts us on the low end of average for talent.
We created 2 TOs in those three games, that's below average and impacts starting field position.
The missed extra point, no fg kicker to even attempt the late fg, Singletary's no TD run are all rarities that have happened w/in that stretch.
We also didn't turn the ball over often offensively - excessive TOs in my mind essentially cancel out some scoring -no need to do that here.

Those saying they're only averaging 15 points are saying that because the Giants ARE only averaging 15 points.

misleading stat? Huh? It's literally hard data on what has actually happened. You don't think other teams have "coulda,shoulda, wouldas?"
You are delusional.
