Hope we get so see Pinnock get some reps. Has the height and athletic skills to play the position. Don't want to see Love changed from playing multiple positions.

You answered your own question. Or LBs are below average at best. That can absolutely cause a team to be the 8th worst run defense. So all these alleged stud D linemen we have aren’t enough to even make our run game mediocre? Dallas is barely better then we are at stopping the run, are their D linemen as good as ours or our their LB’ers as bad as ours? I just find it hard to believe LB’ers make that much of a difference when the D linemen are supposed to be as good as ours allegedly are. Look at all the teams better than us at stopping the run (there’s 24 of them) are all their LB’er that much better and D linemen just as good? I’m not saying the poor quality of LB’ers doesn’t contribute but to make us the 8th worst when our D line is supposed to be that good? I don’t buy it. *Lucky for us the two worst run defenses in the league are next up, Houston and Detroit. All of these stud DL? We play in a 3-4 defense and have two Betty good DL in Lenny and Dex. You need LBs in a 3-4 and we don’t have them. I assume we’ll address this issue next off-season. |

I know it's considered a "hybrid front 7" - but it looks more like a 4-2 most of the time, and I've noticed DBs making many of the tackles up at the line. |

Giants should be 7-2 after this week.

Guys, we punted the season when we didn't get a WR at the deadline. Every other team got key players to help them do better in 2022. We didnt. 8-9 wins is still more than I was expecting. I just didnt expect the 6-1 start to begin it. So only the poor ole Giants didnt "get better". All 31 other teams made great moves? Damn our GM for sticking to his guns to not over pay for a player in a rebuild year. Remind me, which team actially traded for Jeudy? Jeudy or which ever receiver you think they shoukd have gotten was going to "save" the Giants season that is now somehow hopelessly lost? Which WR did you covet? |

Not all 31 other teams of course. so which WR did you think was going to save the NYGs playoff hopes? One that was available? We went through this already. I don't have an ear on the inside. I wanted Mooney but don't know if Chicago made him available or not. Jeudy is a talented player too. I'm sure there were plenty of other WRs we could have enticed other teams to trade to us. Again, I don't know if it "saves" us, but would definitely give us a better shot. Not getting anyone obviously leaves us crippled at that position. Actually we "lost" one in Toney who i was hoping would open things up in the 2nd half. As of now we have to hope Golladay is that guy. What are the odds there? |

Schoen ad Daboll have already displayed they will get players if they can. They are always searching. They would have made a deal within their parameters if they could have improved the team. Them not making a deal is certainly not "punting" on the season. Toney had no input to this team going 6-2 so how was he "lost". He wasnt a fit for this team, which is why he was traded, so he was never going to "open things up" Shep and Bellinger are 10x the "loss" Toney is |

I'm expecting to see some different passing plays moving forward while they all learn this system. Bellinger needs to get back and I hope it's by thanksgiving.. |

I mean it would have be nice if they could have pulled off a trade but it did get done. Seems Bellinger is waiting in the double vision to go away. Hopefully that is not an ongoing issue and he will be good to go. I am assuming of course. They have to keep trying to get thing going. Its up to Daboll, Kafka, Jones and the receivers. |

Sills, James and Johnson are studs... We are good.  Not getting an additional WR was a loss to me. Again, not saying it makes us a SB team or anything but it would have been nice to have an additional weapon vs Dallas on Thanksgiving instead of what we have and getting shut down. I just don't want to see us nose dive the rest of the year. And I guarantee DJ isnt happy we didnt get him anything to help him out. He is the one who knows what he has. Saquon and Thomas. Thats it. Toney would have been an addition. Actually make our offense better, ya know. Thats what I was hoping. 2nd half addition. Toney and Robinson down the stretch to open it up for SQB more. I get it, we have to trust the new regime and they earned that right, just tough to swallow after being awful for a decade and finally having a good record. They dont know anything about that. They came from very successful franchises. I do think a good WR coming in could help this offense out tremendously in the 2nd half and who knows where it goes from there. So again, hopefully Golladay is that guy. And you prove my point talking about the loss of Shep and Bellinger. We lost a lot of guys and are 6-2. Still in the hunt. Go get a replacement. Obviously they didnt find the value for the need. |

He, at least I hope, knows the playbook and has had some time to recover. I'm not buying he was healthy to start the year, he did some good last year before the injuries. |

I didn't say they were tanking. I said they are punting. Punting to me means not getting any better. Tanking to me means starting Davis Webb the rest of the season and benching Thomas and Saquon. |

I can't see less than 10 wins as of now regardless. Had we gotten a nice WR via trade what would that have added...1, MAYBE 2 more wins? just to likely get bounced in the first round of the playoffs...Anyways, the team has potential to get better through continuous building of chemistry and familiarity with system/players alike, not to mention reinforcements coming back from injury. I think we have a favorable situation as opposed to previous years, going into Dec/Jan. Let's see |

We have a team that beat the Titans and Ravens. SB was/is unlikely, but that doesnt mean you just "punt" (not get any better with additional players) and say we will be 6-1, 6-2 again next season. Its not guaranteed at all. You cant say "adding a WR wins us 1 or 2 games". We have no idea. Maybe the OL falls apart or DJ gets injured and we win zero additional games. Maybe the OL gets healthy and Golladay emerges and we win 6. Who knows. I wanted to at least try. Now, I know they "tried" to get a WR but they didnt want to give up the draft capital. Sometimes, its worth it. The draft is a crap shoot. |

I too, am very hopeful to see Bellinger get back by Thanksgiving. Big doubleheader in our household with both Buffalo and NYG playing. I hope the in laws can handle my yelling.
If Galloday doesnt make an immediate impact I think we will see Hodgins. They pounced when he was waived and this guy would have been on the field for a lot of teams.
I agree that James and Johnson strike fear in no one but Sills has earned his playing time with key blocks in the running game. Perhaps thats what Galloday was referring to when he said "if they want me to block, I'll block". He sees what is expected by this staff.

In a rebuild mode draft capital is more valuable than taking a chance on a player that is over what you want to spend. I just see it like that. They are not a "win now" team. |

I'm not so sour on the team for not trading for WR as you, but I'm with you lock in step on Golloday. I have very limited expectations. Any contribution he makes will pretty much exceed it!! |

I just think they weren't ready to give up what it would have taken to get a good wr this year. Plus our cap issues
And they are playing with house money. Nobody expected us to be 6-2, and with the schedule the next couple weeks, we have a shot at 8-2.
Honestly, I think after that we are going to lose a bunch of games, especially if we don't get healthy down the stretch. We can't compete with the boys or egals.

Dallas has a tremendous advantage every year on Thanksgiving. There's no way that a team should get a Thursday home game every year. But there's plenty of choke in Dallas for the last 25 years. Hopefully that continues. |

Hopefully that continues. They will choke. In the playoffs for sure. Them and Philly. Philly is the #1 team in the NFL right now, but look at their schedule. Not many tough games on it. Once they get to the playoffs... well, shoot, the NFC sucks this year. Maybe a team like the 49ers gets hot. My God the NFC is bad this year. No Green Bay, no Tampa Bay, No Rams... Seattle has Geno. Minny is going to implode in a postseason game like Cousins only can. It really does set up nice for Philly doesnt it. I pray Josh Allens arm is ok. |

We'll see. Dallas has a tremendous advantage every year on Thanksgiving. There's no way that a team should get a Thursday home game every year. But there's plenty of choke in Dallas for the last 25 years. Hopefully that continues. They will choke. In the playoffs for sure. Them and Philly. Philly is the #1 team in the NFL right now, but look at their schedule. Not many tough games on it. Once they get to the playoffs... well, shoot, the NFC sucks this year. Maybe a team like the 49ers gets hot. My God the NFC is bad this year. No Green Bay, no Tampa Bay, No Rams... Seattle has Geno. Minny is going to implode in a postseason game like Cousins only can. It really does set up nice for Philly doesnt it. I pray Josh Allens arm is ok. How sweet would it be that it is US, the NY football Giants that end the Eagles dream with a most unlikely meeting in Philly. I'm pretty sure this scenario played out in '07. Dallas beat NYG twice in the regular season. Jerry printed tix to the NFC Championship game and put one in each of his players lockers. TO told us to "getcha popcorn ready". TO? 1 catch. Dallas? Losers. That game for me was THE Super Bowl. Going into GB and winning and then beating NE was the sweetest of icing on the cake. It's just fun to even be in the conversation at this point. |

Hmmm... 07 was Eli's 4th year in the NFL... 22 is DJs 4th year in the NFL... Plax(Big FA signing) /Toomer(Giants Vet) /Smith(Rookie WR) /Boss(Rookie TE).... Golladay(Big FA Signing) /Slayton(Giants Vet) /Robinson(Rookie WR) /Bellinger(Rookie TE) Strahan/Tuck/Osi/Kiwi/Robbins.... Ojulari/Thibs/Williams/Ximines/Lawrence... Quite the stretch but interesting. |
