its the same all song of no QB

I wouldn't mind grabbing Brissett in the off season

TH Made a few great plays last night but when he's under pressure he struggles and that muffed snap / dropped INT should have ended the game regardless

Yup. Our Oline, our QB, our staff. None of them are close to championship caliber. The refs didn’t give B-Rob 12 carries. Dude was absolutely crushing it and Turner calls twelve carries for him? The refs certainly didn’t cause Taylor to throw weak balls or miss wide open guys. 1-10 on third down isn’t a ref problem it is a personnel problem and an OC problem.
We can still get in the playoffs. We still control our own destiny. We are not in any way a serious contender though. Our offense is putrid even with our weapons- Oline, QB are weak as fuck. Fake GM Ron needs to step aside in that regard at the very least.

They have:

At Carolina
Home vs Bears
At Green Bay

They should win the 1st 2. GB might be a toss-up due to what the weather will look like.

That's "old days" NFL for the most part. We'll basically have the same schedule as our NFC East brethren with the exception of three games. Not to mention, we'll likely finish in either last or third place in the division and still make the playoffs. So, we'll play three of the third or last place teams in their respective divisions.

Teams who were good, mediocre, or bad one year can end up being a totally different team the following season.

If you didn't know anything about these teams and watched the first and second game you would assume the Giants were the team with the bye. They made significant game plan changes from first to second game that exploited the Commanders. That was obvious with the 4th and 9 call. Our changes not so much and the play calling was just not great. We had 6 WR running plays? 5 to Samuels for 1 td?

The team needs to fix the aspects of the game it can control and not worry about the officials which it cannot. That being said I hate ticky tack stuff like what happened with Terry that has no bearing on the game. Does anyone really think Terry isn't a receiver?

In regards to officials it is high time that the NFL looks into making them full time positions. They are the only league in the US without full time officials. Instead of waking up this morning and going to their professions they should be waking up and reviewing their games and studying just like other sports.

That was a tough game to watch for the many reasons some of you have already articulated. The refs were bad, especially at the end of the game, but the Giants just seemed like they wanted it more from the outset - appeared to be more physical overall. I thought the bye week was right on time, but I wonder if they would have performed better had they not had a week off. No excuses though, you have to be ready for that Prime Time game against a Division rival at home with the playoffs on the line...you have to.

I've never seen an offense look so good for the most part - before hitting the opponents 20-30 yard line, then completely forget how to call plays. Honestly, the defense is doing their job, but this offense has scored more than 20 points only four times this year. That doesn't scream playoffs to me...

The Lions have the Panthers, Bears and Packers left. They have already beaten the Bears and Packers, and I don't see them losing to the Panthers. My guess is we'll be on the outside looking in again. San Francisco's defense is going to swallow this O-line up whole, and Parsons & Company will make them look silly too. It's going to be tough to win more than one of the next three, if they play like they did last night. The Lions look like a much better team anyway - by far.

This team is destined to be middle of the road until we get a decent QB. Yeah the team rallies around Heinicke, they really really like him, he's gritty, blah blah blah.... But he's just not that good. The combination of him and S Turner is probably the worst in the league. I think I would probably take just about every other starting QB over him at this point. Don't be surprised if the C Wentz conversation pops up this week. I'm not sure this team would be worse off if he was under center. It might be the same, but I don't think it would be worse; not with the running game we have going lately.

Sucks, because I was really looking forward to this game for the last two weeks. What a let down...

missed PI was sadness. Perspective though, even with that, probably do get in from 1st and goal at the 1, but then ~50% 2pt and then OT, which is another coin flip.

I wish they had taken my advice to play slightly better, it seemed so simple :P
