It’s gotta be for a WR. Teams aren’t gonna let us be risk averse all year like last year if we can’t make them pay in the passing game. On defense, we have Hairston and the 2 roid D Linemen returning. McDermott has no excuses on the defensive side.

I actually like our D Line. The back 7 is a mess but I’m not wasting any more resources on a McDermott defense. Trade for a young talented WR like Olave. Even if it doesn’t get is over the hump this year, a #1 WR will be needed next year for a new regime. Get a head start. Give New Orleans Coleman plus a 2nd rounder.

I think it’s more about McDermott defenses asking undersized players to hold up near the LOS against bigger offensive players.

Watching Epenesa get rag-dolled 3-4 times a game is demoralizing.

Maybe the Pats are but impossible to tell from last night’s game given the sloppy undisciplined mess that our offense has become.

Problem is we’ve seen how the story ends. And this year the D is worse and it will be hard to duplicate last years success on offense.

this is where I’m at too. McDermott has no levers left to pull. His defensive schemes dont work when it counts. And now his team is starting to look like an undisciplined sloppy mess. We aint gonna repeat what we did on offense last season. And the defense gets worse every year.

Bottom line is you can’t play as horrendous as we did on offense in the 1st half and win games. The defense is the same McDermott crew that you can only ask so much of. It always comes down to the offense having to score TD’s every time they have ball late in games. Which eventually makes you ask yourself why keep the head coach around who’s responsible for the defensive side of the ball?

The Knox jet sweep is a play a 10 year old playing madden knows isn’t gonna work. So let’s try it again with samuel because it worked so well the first time, which caused the kincaid penalty. And the Tight End screen to Kincaid was similarly awkward leading to the shakir penalty, which led to the Josh pick in red zone. As for the other drive killers in first half, Coleman’s ineptitude had that covered.

Most of those penalties and turnovers were the result of horrible playcalling where players were put in bad positions.

Don’t waste any draft picks on this coaching staff. Save your picks for the next coaching staff.

Agreed. A jet sweep to knox? In what world does thst play work?

The head injury Davis suffered in the Denver playoff game was scary. Some guys don’t fully recover from hits like that. Sounds like he lost weight to become more elusive and possibly avoid hits like that. He hasn’t looked NFL roster worthy post injury and weight loss.

The difference is the rules never applied to Deion because he was a transcendent talent and then personality once his playing days were done. Shadeur aint that dude his daddy was. I almost feel bad for him. Almost.

Reason 127 why he fell to the 5th round. The sense of entitlement runs deep. Even if Rex is an idiot, he’s paid his dues, was an accomplished NFL coach for 10-15 years and has earned the right to sound off. Shadeur has earned nothing.

Fair to criticize a defense that consistently crumbles in the playoffs when no significant changes have been made. It’s the same scheme of undersized back 7 guys with very few who can play man coverage. So we get the same complicated coverage schemes with undersized players who get gashed in the run game and torched by the elite QB’s. I actually am positive on the D Line. It’s the back 7 and scheme that remains the problem.

Agreed about Knox not stretching the field. Defenses don't have to worry about Knox running downfield routes because his hands are so suspect.

Knox does a lot of things well, but his hands are so bad that you can’t really throw him the ball more than 5 yards past LOS. Could see him taking a huge paycut and lining up more as a Fullback going forward.

The conservative offensive gameplan last night gave Giants no chance to beat the Chiefs. If Dart gets in and struggles, there’s no reason to keep Daboll around, so it makes sense for Daboll to keep Dart on the bench as long as he can. But Wilson is a completely gutless uninspiring QB right now, so Daboll will probably have to go to Winston to buy more time for Dart. Winston is at least likable and unafraid.

At least Winston will play with some guts. Watching Wilson has to be beyond painful for Giants fans.

I guess if I knew I wanted to start Dart by week 10, Wilson is the perfect gutless QB to play where absolutely no one will be upset going to Dart.

Was gonna say same thing. Epenesa has always been too light in the a$$ since his rookie year. Now Rousseau looks the same. Maybe he thinks it will help his pass rush and is trying to justify his new contract, but he’s not that type of player. He doesn’t win with explosion. He wins with his length, strength and ‘slithery-ness’. Looks easier to block this year so far.

Walker and Bernard made the game winning play but Bosa was best defensive player we had on field for majority of game.

Agreed but that still gets called 80% of the time when your in space and the ref has clear view. Cant put yourself in that situation. Not a good decision by Kincaid and against a better team could’ve cost the game.

Agreed. 3rd week of a 17 game season with only 4 days rest. Just get the win. I think we’d all like to see glimpses of what things are gonna look like in January though. We saw what the passing game can look like in 4th quarter against Ravens. The defense showed better against the Jets. Walker was the big bright spot last night. We really need Hairston to contribute by end of season as Tre isn’t a starting CB anymore. And we need Rousseau to find his game if we’re gonna beat good teams in January. Looks like we have 4 playable LB’s when Milano comes back. Safety continues to look like we aren’t gonna get many/any winning plays from.
