Nas Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 17 minutes ago, BlueInCanada said: My take aways: Worst game of the year for Jones, however he didnt have much help out there this game. Jones isn't going to have that Eli magic of being able to elevate players around him. Jones is going to need the team around him to be good if we want to have any success in the playoffs or beyond. Richie James needs to have the shortest memory and forget this game. He was open but he couldn't stop those mistakes. Defense played ok baring the short fields caused by the turnovers. Geno is making a case for MVP and they have the rookie of the year candidate in Walker. All in all the team atleast looked like they were in the game competitively but it's clear the difference in talent level between the two teams. Eli had a lot more than Jones could ever dream of. From Toomer to Plaxico to Nicks and Cruz…. Thunder and Lightning too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxRik Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Well, I won't be licking any goat balls tonight. Now let's see how Daboll and crew handle a loss after a winning streak. Hopefully they take the bye week to rest up, regroup, and get back to winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst rushing attack and Oline in the NFL, doesn't matter to Eli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 But I do agree Nas, Jones has gotten the raw end of the deal with the team around him. I'm all for giving him a two year type of prove it deal with the team continues to draft/trade and develop the talent around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no receivers, I get it...but one of these weeks he is gonna have to win the game throwing...receivers or not. Also, Neal being out was noticeable. Look at Rodgers sucking fat cock without any WR to throw to. Jones did decent today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jranieli Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Missing a offensive linemen and the blocking/receiving tightend is going to get felt on the offense. That Hudson guy missed a few blocks and Barkley got hammered because of it. Tough game and no injuries I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 One player on the oline played poor (Philips). The rest of the line played decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent, mistake free keeps you in games. Being able to run keeps you in games and even wins one here and there. Going out like a top 10 pick and putting up 4 TDs and 350 yards when you do have protection and you do have a running game in a league where they want you to throw 75% of the time should be doable...especially when they have 8 man fronts all day. I am just saying that performances like today keep the debate open whether he should be resigned or not...to starter money or not...to long term or a prove it deal. I was pretty cold on him at beginning of season. He has moved the bar to lukewarm....but can't say he is a top 20 starter in this league in the long term. Not closing the door because we have no other options really...but today was discouraging in how they lost...not that they lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Giants were off rhythm from the beginning. The Seahawks smothered our running game and didn’t bite on the play action. Jones should take some of the blame but not all or even half of it. James doesn’t shit the bed and maybe we have a very different conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is just nobody to throw too. I think he was starting to press a little. Seahawks were keeping Saquon in check and their secondary was playing well. I really thought Jones made some really good throws and decisions, maybe I was just paying more attention but he throws had pepper on them. I think this game sold me on going and getting a receiver. The defense is there, the running game is good. DJ just needs someone to throw to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 First inexplicably the first 2-3 drives they didnt let Saquon touch the ball. The line was pretty decent except for that 79 dude who played like garbage. The WRs just didnt get seperation. Atleast 3 instances the WR slipped and fell, there were 3 drops. We are missing Bellinger more than we thought we would. DJ basically has neither a safety cushion, nor a blazer who can draw attention from the secondary. He has NO ONE to throw the ball to. Even after that, he hasnt unnecessarily forced throws and has kept the turnovers down to an absolute minimum. I think they really need to GTFO out there and get a WR - Cooks, DJ Moore, Jeudy, Hamler, OBJ - dont care who - just get a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 The Giants were again in a close game that would have gone down to the wire with some clutch plays needed at the end. But those Ritchie James fumbles giving the ball to Seattle in the Redzone and putting the defense immediately back on the field after some good stops really killed us. Anyway - perfect time for the BYE week I feel - I hope we get a WR before the trade deadline - just sign OBJ!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastershake Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Was the 2011-2012 season/SB all carried Eli though? - Victor Cruz, and the running game plus defense to an extent, carried us to that win against the Jets, to make us 8-7. Eli had an otherwise bad game. - The defense in general, which had played poorly until like week 15, really stepped up toward the end of the season and playoffs. - The running game too, which again played poorly all season, but really stepped it up toward the last weeks of the season and playoffs. - For all the talk about Eli working with whoever was around him, he still got great plays/contributions from Cruz, Nicks (e.g. the Packer game, one his long catch and run, and two him catching that Hail Mary), and then Manningham in the SB - According to what metrics did we have the a bad OL? Eli was sacked only 28 times, and if you go back and watch film from that team, that OL seems to give the QB way more time than the garbage we've had the last decade since. Maybe mid season they were bad when we lost 4 straight, but that's another group that came through in the clutch (minus the SF game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go back and watch some of those games a couple years ago, when we were really in the depths of our OL hell, and for fucking real the OL in 2011 was no better than that shit we were rolling out until Andrew Thomas started to come into his own. It was crazy that offense could even operate at all. Reminds me a lot of that Bengals team last year really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Go back and watch like the last 6 games (minus the SF game) where they went on a tear, and where the running game was also generally good. Plus in general, we had the 9th ranked offense that season by points. They played well down the stretch. It wasn't just Eli. Go check out the highlights of key plays in those games and he has loads of time to throw in most instances, plus again the ground game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
