Rosie is on vacation so he's exempt from rating or even having to watch this one (lucky bastard). Here's what the rest of us thought:
Morehead:Offense: D
The kid struggled. The O line was god awful. Down to our 3rd string RB.
It was just bad out there.
Defense: Z
There really is no letter out there to describe this defense. Everything was bad everywhere on the field.
What do you all think Tom Brady is going to do to us in 4 days?
ST's.....C
Nice job with the punt deep. Other than that? Whatever.
Coaching: F
This team is simply poorly coached on both offense and defense.
Game Ball: All of us for watching this mess
There comes a time when we have to wonder if this FO and coaching staff really knows what they are doing. We have injuries but NO depth. We have one vet corner. We started the season with 2 RB's. No veteran depth anywhere on the field. It's either starters or guys who have never played pro football.
......and this staff isn't getting anything from these guys. This FO looks like they hit on Jones but where else can we look with optimism besides Saquan?
I'm disgusted right now. They took over a 3-13 team and have done very little to make it better.
Gametime: Squandered opportunities, bad oline, no run game, defense absolutely lost, etc
Offense: D+. I gave the plus because they have no run game due to injury and DJ is still new an learning. The oline was awful no ifs ands or buts.
The missed on a few big plays but goods to them going for it. Some adjustment to find under neath stuff. The kid is still learning and took his lumps today. He stood tall and didnt flinch which is a good sign. He needs to dump the ball on that 1st and goal instead of losing 10 yards.
Defense: P.....for pathetic. I get the injuries but LB group was lost all day. The DBs were ok but not ready for prime time yet. The missed tackles to by several players is unacceptable!! I dont care of you are a 3 string LB one of the basics of football is tackling. Make a freaking play!!! If you dont know how to to tackle then go sell cars somewhere and get out of the NFL now.
STs: B....solid as usual. Nice run back for Ballentine and nice deep punt.
Coaching: C on the offense and D for the defense. The play calling may have been suspect here and there but the player execution was more suspect IMO.
Game ball: I was at the game and the National Anthem sung by Krysta Rodriguez was one of the best performances I have ever heard. She did it in classic style, no changes and just tore it up!! Was an emotional performance for me. She deserves the game ball hands down!!
Sarcasman:I really could just take nearly any game review from last year and repost it here, I've watched this game more than a dozen times over the past two seasons.
On the plus side Jones is getting tons of real game experience and that will serve him and the team well in the future.
Giants Offense: C-
Giants Defense: C
Special Teams: C
Coaching: D
Game Ball: Please.
