OT: 2023 NY Giants Season Thread

[RU-05]

That Giant offensive line they're putting out there is as bad as I've seen.
And it's been bad for a while.
Gotta make it tough on any qb.

To the point above, it did look like Tyrod moved around in the pocket better, and also got rid of the ball faster then Jones has, even when throwing downfield.

Some of that may be Jones being shell shocked, but not all of it.

I also thought the O-line played better vs the Bills. 3 of the 5 games Jones played it was jail break city.

Thought that Tyrod got rid of it quickly and was accurate. Giants also game-planned a bit differently by rolling the pockets at times. Also the running game was more of a threat so that likely kept an extra safety/LB at bay from being a free rusher.

Pretty good? This the same guy that Tyrod Taylor looked a lot better than a few days ago? Jones stinks - it's always an excuse with him. Always.

Tyrod Taylor is a better quarterback than Jones by far. Two first half TD passes so far, first TD's in a month.

 

[czxqa]

Maybe they can trade Danny Boy in the off-season.

I'm not making that conclusion yet, helps that Barks is back, it helps Hyatt is on the field, it helps that the O-line looks OK. But I def think it, shall we say, buys Jones another week of rest.

Justin Pugh looks like he weighs about 260.

Supposedly 290. Which is light for a tackle.

 

[RU-05]

I have an idea, how bout we just let the punts go?

 

[ClassOf02]

Wonder how the Giants will find a way to lose this week.

Muffed punt was a good start.

Dropped pick 6 by Thibs could be one we look back on.

But D held on that drive, and miraculously Slayton held on to the ensuing punt.

Very supposedly

I disagree. The second half Giants looked like the Giants from the first 6 weeks. Plus the Redskins stink. Both of them sadly don’t seem good enough to lead them far.

 

[ashokan]

People loving Taylor now but there is long tradition of #2 QBs coming in and shinning for a few weeks.
Pennington got a big contract that way. Fitz was another but he could peak-up again after crashing

To sum up today's New York-Washington game:

The Giants did everything they could to lose the game.
But in the end, they failed.

Why is Taylor a career back up? Giants scored 23 pts in his 2 games.

Started three games in 2018 and then injury (vs Jets) ended season in Buffalo.
He also had a MD puncture his lung with an injection when with LAC (he's still suing for 5 mil)
Then he was traded to a series of teams and never reagained form - 9 TDs/8 INTs in five years

 

[RU Cheese]

anyone still wondering why Eric Bienemy hasn't gotten a coaching job? I'm not.

He’s no Andy Reid.

If possible, Daboll would be wise to make a determination on the QB early in the week. The last thing he or the team needs is a question of who is under center vs. NYJ leading up to game time. Unless Jones is 100%, I don't see the upside in playing him against the Jets pass rush. Taylor looked comfortable enough against BUF and WSH - though I'm not throwing roses at his feet for 26 points in 9 quarters, like many of the Jones-hating NYG fans are. The NYJ offense might be worse than the NYG, so if the defense comes to play and they play competently enough on offense, they can win this game.

For my eyes, it looked like the play calling changed with the shift to Taylor. Regardless, still not scoring points.

 

[ClassOf02]

There should be no QB controversy. Everyone knows exactly what Taylor is — a serviceable lifelong NFL backup QB. We have scored 23 points in the last 2 weeks. That isn’t good. The reason things look/feel better is the better play on defense, not Tyrod Taylor.

 

[Postman_1]

Taylor to the locker room. Darren Waller probably hurt too. Jets players getting injured today too

 

[koleszar]

This game is fvcking awesome. Jets down to long snapper for center and Giants down to third string QB. Riveting TV, it's like watching two bad college teams play.

Giants lining up "to go for it" on 4th and 9 is the height of comedy.
They can't get 9 yards over 4 plays.
Nobody is getting fooled.

 

[Extra Point]

Game is a hot mess. A lot of guys getting hurt.

I heard the stat, 15 punts in the first half and thought, "yeah and I'm actually one of the idiots watching this".

Simple Mara holds meeting and and tells
GM and entire staff they are gone by week 5 next year if O Line isn’t fixed

Taylor is done for game. Went to hospital for his ribs

OMG Dan "The Douche" Duggan you can't find a more slimy sports reporter. Remeber when he was fabricating scathing stories about Rutgers football and reporting on plays we run in practice for the opponent. I see he's grown up to have a punchable face.

On a serious note, any QB's in their pajama's this week to look out for, for next week?

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Didn't Ash think Tommy D was no good?

I actually like his Giants coverage. Him and Art Stapleton are the two best IMO
Im seeing fans calling for Wentz

 

[RU848789]

This game has set football back 100 years, lol. If I were the Giants, I'd just go ahead and put Saquon in at QB and run the ball the rest of the game, as having one more blocker might make a big difference; I'd also try a few safe passes to try to surprise the Jets.

 

[NickRU714]

Nearly everyone here bashed Tommy Devito and Syracuse. Rejoiced that we got Johnathan Lewis who was miles ahead of Devito.

Until OC Kill never let him pass and OC McNulty moved him to TE.

Like last week "Justin Pugh, from the couch..."

 

[mdk01]

Giants seem to have found a competant punt returner.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Giants doing a GREAT job playing "Schiano-ball" this entire 4th quarter. WOW!!!

 

[koleszar]

Why were the Giants in such a rush to let him up? One more second of falling down on top of the WR and game over. We have stupid players made of glass.

 

[NickRU714]

And they are going to OT because they wouldn't score.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Well THAT was a STUPID decision. First....Saquon should NEVER have given himself up....THEN....go for it on 4th down. FG attempt was mind-boggling IMHO.

 

[RU848789]

Why would you go for that FG on 4th and 1 from the Jets 17? First off, it's a dangerous play on a wet day that can have disastrous results and secondly, why not just go for it, as the Giants have been running the ball really well? A first down ends the game. Of course, I have no idea why Barkley just went down on the first down running play either. Lots of headscratchers in this one (and I have no rooting interest).
