Giants postgame

[jamf]

OMFG I didn’t see the holding call and left right after the first kick. What a surprise!

[Chief X_Phackter]

When was the last time we saw a 2 play 75 yd touchdown drive?

When was the last time we lost the time of possession battle, AND we lost the turnover battle, but won the game.

A game winning scoring drive with 2 minutes left?

Last time we beat the NYG?

Take away the one long run by Jones and the one long run by Barkley, and it's only 76 yards rushing.

Both teams had 80 yards in penalties (81 for NYG), and both had penalties at inopportunistic times.

Offensive line was much better tonight.

Some things to clean up for sure, but it's definitely not all doom & gloom.

I'd rather be 1-1 than 2-0.

I just watched this on a delay - holy shit. A game no one wanted to win, but the Giants wanted it less.

Game balls to Heinike, McLaurin (he’s freaking incredible), and Jonathan Allen. I’d say Hopkins but if you cause me to start to have a heart attack, I’ll don’t feel right about you getting a game ball.

Terry, that is all

Lol at some of the kool aid posts im reading. This team isn’t winning more than 7 games this year. Doesn’t make me less of a fan, just more of a realist. Fun win last night though.

It's still early but I am very concerned about the lack of plays CY and Sweat are making.. More so Young because many predicted him to have an Aaron Donald type season... So far his ass has been 70% missing.. Payne and Allen have been the best 2.

Payne was the one who broke Gates lower leg. Another freak accident.

My biggest concern is our coaching staff. We obviously have talent on both sides of the ball but they are being set up to fail. All three of them last night shit the bed for the second week in a row. Especially Turner. He is a joke.

I've gone back and watched defensive clips from our first two games, and has noticed Young is often being chipped by either a RB or TE on plays. There are other times he's facing a double-team. He's still a young pup and will have to find a counter.

Payne and, more so, Allen are occasionally being held but not warranting any calls. Allen was held about three times last night but to no avail regarding a flag (once for Payne that I can recall).

It's still early, so I'm not panicking. There's some kinks that needs to be remedied, and if the D can get on track then we're gonna be a tough out. HTTWFT!

I agree with this. I think that there must have been some real high expectations for this defense based on some of the utter dismay I have seen with regard to the first two games.

Admittedly, I thought we would see a much better defense than we have thus far, but I still believe this will be a top 10 unit in the end. I mean you couldn't have expected that they were just going to shut opponents down right off the bat - especially with all the new pieces in the secondary. Fuller and Curl are really the only dudes getting significant snaps - who also got significant snaps last year. It's going to take a minute for it to all come together. Maybe it never will...maybe JDR sucks...maybe CY is a bust... I don't think any of that is true, but time will tell.

Either way, they are 1-1, and I'm not panicking after two games.

Given the talent here and the natural assumption they would improve over last year when they were top 5 in a lot of categories, they are seriously underperforming right now. I don't think it's too crazy that fans expected more at this point. Long way to go, but they need to pick it up.

Great win last night. The Giants always come ready to play and WFT pulled it out. 1-1 after two games is a good start. The bad news is that if this team needs to score 30 points to win then there aren't going to be many more upbeat post-game threads.

Our offense put up 30 points.
They overcame a turnover at a killer time.
They put together sustained drives and quick strike drives.
They overcame a terrible spot/replay

When was the last time all those things happened. I am optimistic because our offense finally showed spark outside of Terry. Yes the D has been bad, but they have a lot of new pieces. They will get on track as the rookies grow into it.

All that is true. The offense is playing above expectations (both our tackles are playing bad though, hopefully Cosmi can develop quickly but he is getting beaten quite a lot).
My issue with this D is the main weakness (LB) was known from day one of the offseason and they thought simply drafting a rookie was enough... AND the secondary is underperforming. Kyle Fuller seems like he just sucks know, WJ3 made some plays but got beat a couple of times, and St Juste as a rookie will get burned from time to time.

Will need to rewatch, but just chilling down a bit, I think the DL played decently, we are expecting a lot from them but you're not going to sack the QB every play, especially when you DBs are playing like sh*t. Out of the top of my head I can remember CY, Allen, Payne, Sweat and even Ioannidis making plays. So it means they did produce a bit, but they need to do more, and they the other 7 players on the field to do their part.

I really get some Romo vibes with Heineke, he's a playmaker back there that is sneaky athletic.
