BlueInCanada Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I think why this loss was so demoralizing is the Giants looked the exact same they did the last five years. And it's funny to think going into this season it was the Oline that was the worry. Defense was solid, new WRs, Jones in year 3, Barkley back. Who would of thought after week 1 the Oline is ranked in the top 10 in the NFL and everyone else is bottom of the league lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 If the Giants came out and had a close loss or squeezed out a win then everything would be relatively fine. They literally had the worst performance they could of had Sunday. If the trend continues tomorrow then get ready for a nuclear explosion from the media and the wheels to fall off the team. Not to mention 0-2 you have like a 8% chance of making the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got maybe another 5 weeks to show he can cut it in this league. He's been here for two years... most QBs that are going to be decent have learned to look off the safety by now and not miss guys by 5 yards... and how many fucking times does he have to turn the ball over before in the EXACT SAME WAY we admit he's not the guy? During that drive I said to my dad, "whelp, Denver just scored a TD. This is usually the drive where Jones takes us downfield and gives the team hope, then either fumbles or throws a pick inside the 5." Guess what happened? I have also never understood this. "Well, a young QB needs to build confidence." Yeah, a young QB also needs to prove he's the guy, and if he's not there needs to be a Plan B... the Giants never have a Plan B. We will never pick a running QB who can throw and take a hit either. Always these sodbusters that can't run and throw consistently into coverage during their third years.

I also thought Dex, Leo, and Danny Shelton got good pressure up the middle, Lorenzo Carter just doesn’t seem like a good player. the coaching was what me and my cousin found ourselves bitching about the most. Well that and the commentary “how cool is Teddy Bridgewater”, we spent the rest of the game saying shit like that. The guy had at least three look out sacks coming his way and he shook off all three. Guy can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I don't expect undefeated, but I do expect to be competitive and we have been far from it for literally years. Browns were shit for how long? How those fans stayed loyal and hopeful, I have no idea. I love the Giants, and will forever be a fan...but my interest in watching has waned hardcore.

Thomas, Gates and Bredeson looked solid on the Oline. Golladay is an animal and we should be feeding him the ball, the guy bailed Jones out on every pass by literally ripping the ball out of the DBs hands. He should be Jones security blanket like Plax was with Eli sailing balls 2 feet above his head lol Shepard looks faster this year don't know what he's been doing but he looks like OBJ out there in terms of him cutting on a dime after getting the ball. Ojulari made some plays and was all over the field. Dex was pushing the pocket but was getting double teamed a lot I noticed by the center and guard. Martinez and Ragland are tackling machines. Rudolph looks good in the blocking game. Holmes played well in the secondary. this... Golladay is Plax reborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should not be an issue at this point in his career. This... had had both hands on the ball and still fumbled after the hit. Hook slide or they will bust your ass. Simple.

I don't know what it is about the Giants and QB's, but I'm convinced if we got Mahomes, or Jackson, or Rodgers, or anyone like that, they would never have the success here they have where they are now. Even with Eli, God rest his football soul, they never developed him into the "next Peyton Manning". Don't get me wrong I love him, he won us 2 SB's, was as clutch as they come and was a fucking ironman, but I wonder how he would have done somewhere else (in either Pitt or San Diego). It just seems like they never get with the times, and then wonder "what the fuck happened". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is something in the DNA of the Giants where they ruin QB's or hold them back this side of Y.A. Tittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jranieli Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 After some reflecting, I am a wait and see with Jones. I hope he responds tomorrow night. I also hope the defense doesn't lay a turd again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazedDogs Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 A lot of non-Giants fans talk about that 2007 defense like they were the 2001 Ravens.

Herc Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 The 07 defense was a good d that got really hot at the end of the season.

They did NOT have an answer for Justin Tuck, who played out of his mind during that playoff run. He was the biggest disruptor on that defense in the Super Bow.

He had an eternity back there on half of his plays. All he had to do on most plays was to step up and he had time to no throw into double/triple coverage on his first read from the huddle.
