I'm with you. Grass isn't lush and green, but neither is it dead, brown and dusty. We need to keep winning close games like this though. Learn the killer instinct that should have put the Giants away in the first game and beaten the Rams. Jones actually seems to be getting it, I just wish Blough would do the same.

Super fun victory. 2 huge tds at the end the halves to seal this. Awesome catches by Sinnott and catch/play by Diggs. Jayden had some heat on those passes. Might be the funnest Thursday night game I've seen. JD5 and McCarthy both played well. Let's get Cincy next!

I think Blough has made some good transitions. More no huddle, which both JD and the oline seem more comfortable with, more out of shotgun a la KK, once again JD seems more comfortable with. I get the idea of more under center but we have one of best players in the league running our offense we should be making him as effective as possible. Definitely some things I don't understand about his game though. The Sinnott TD, why do we have so many plays where two receivers end up in same spot? There are other things but time to enjoy the win!

That was a mesh play the way I saw it. I don't know if commentators were correct that it was intended for Diggs, as he was going in the opposite direction and JD would have had to throw it through at least one defender. It looked like he decided last second to go to Sinnott (and he was open).

My criticism of Blough is that he doesn't seem to be able to see and exploit what the defense is doing a lot of the time. The play Diggs scored on at the end was his best call, as they were in cover 0, but he called a number of plays that either were not executed well by JD (both INT's?) or were playing into the D's hands.

Yeah I feel like Blough has plays were players run routes so in same spot one over top and one below but depending on how defenses play, the receivers can end up close especially near the end zone.

That first INT was a forced throw by JD IMO. Chig is clearly are best TE we have but him and JD were not on same page that gamn at all. There were other options but he was focused on getting Chig the ball. That 2nd INT we went to the well on that play one to many times. JD needed to recognize that was not going to be a quality throw.

That said I give credit to Blough for not taking the ball out of his hands on the game winning drive. You have to live and die by JD as far as I'm concerned even if he makes mistakes.

One thing I'd like to see Blough do is have JD be more involved in the run game. Maybe not so many designed runs where he is subject to more hits but more read options that allow him to run with the ball and get down or out of bounds.

It's just more about how silly fans can be. Personally I like how Nagy really seems to have a good understanding of his QBs and what they bring.

I think the Giants have a good thing in their QB situation. Dart has potential. McCarthy is a hell of an athlete. Since he has started for Giants his completion percentage has been markedly improved and he he makes really good plays.

I think the Giants will be able to take one of these young guys and be able to get some draft pick capital for them. (you don't keep both and start a QB controversy do you?) I know season is still has a long way to go so I'd be curious to hear after seeing JJ play a few more games where your preferences lie.
