Staying positive

It’s been a tough week digesting the loss against the Cowboys. We probably played the most competitive game against them that I can remember in a long time and that’s without scoring a touchdown. The offense runs through Malik which is why he was drafted but we cant expect to win with Jones throwing it that many times it’s just not who we are. Singletary has to step up and hold onto the ball and the other wide receivers need to actually catch balls thrown there way.

The defense also needs to step up. Dexter, Kayvon, and Burns all need to get to the QB and it’s just not happening at the rate you’d expect out of these guys. Also this bend don’t break defense keeps breaking. I doubt it’ll be better today against Seattle, but who knows with 10 days off maybe they’ll have a little pep in their steps.

Will this be the week Daboll stops coaching scared? No. I don’t know what has flipped in him that he is so much more conservative in his play calling than previous years. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t trust the offense and previous Oline and QB play has him shell shocked, but it needs to change. Jones gets better every week and I don’t think those deep balls represent how he actually throws down field. Everyone really just needs to be better.

It will be interesting to see how the offense plays without Malik today and maybe Hyatt will make an appearance. I’m not down on this team only because this was kind of the expectation. It’s continuing to see cohesiveness on the oline and continued growth with DJ. The next few games are winnable so tanking shouldn’t be on the mind just yet.

DJ is bad, but Brian Daboll is worse

I just can’t help, but wonder if Brain Daboll is the biggest problem for the NY Giants. Don’t get me wrong DJ is definitely bad and needs to be gone ASAP, but I’m pretty sure Daboll might be worse. This guy is supposed to be an offensive guru, qb whisperer, drop your pants and put your Da-Balls on the table kind of coach and he decides to call two QB runs inside the 10 yard line with a guy coming back from an ACL??? Maybe it was just first game rust and they’ll be an offensive powerhouse going forward while Saquan is stuck pushing someone’s tush in Philly as his main role… I’m still not over him leaving, it’s a grieving process Daboll needs to put together better game plans that include the number 6 pick in the draft and choose a damn punt returner that’s not linked to an important offensive or defensive position.  Washington is usually a get right game for the Giants and I truly do want both Daboll and Jones to be better. What’s better than winning meaningless games to keep u...

Hot take alert!!

Playoffs?! Playoffs?! Obviously I’m joking… but maayyybee?? Why not? What if we beat the Cowboys Thursday night and then have 10 days to prepare for the Seahawks. Sometimes you just have to believe in your team to do what’s right and there is nothing this Giants team has done to earn this type of behavior from me, but damn it feels good to win. The defense showed up and never relented pressure of Watson. They did exactly what was necessary to win. And did you see Malik??? He is a stud absolute certified stud. While Malik continues to own DBs, Singletary is quietly having a good start to the year. He’s just a good runner and is always seemingly doing the right things. I WILL not bring up the fumbles, this is a happy space today, but these need to stop immediately. Someones gotta make the playoffs, why not us?
