"Earlier this year, New York Giants co-owner John Mara was asked about the popularity of Brian Daboll, who had been named NFL Coach of the Year after taking the Giants to the playoffs for the first time in six seasons.

“We kid him. I mean, right now he’s Bono walking around New York City...but I’ve told him, I’ve said, ‘In this business, it doesn’t take long to go from Bono to Bozo. So don’t get your head too big right now.’ But he has been great.”

Pinnock outran a lot of fast people to get the 100+ yd TD
He was also the defender that tracked down Tyreek Hill from behind to stop a TD

I had to stop watching for a bit.
Maybe I shouldn't pick it up again after half!
LFG!

Its amazing how bad this team got beginning with last years Philly thrashing in playoffs. I still wonder if the league knows Giants are telegraphing plays somehow.

No Barkley or Thomas for the season to date. Tougher schedule,. Now 2 practice squad players on the OL. Not telegraphing.

The injuries defo hurt but the beatdowns began with Philly last year (48-22).
How did the whole 2022 team - including coaches - turn-up so consistently awful?
Other teams awere after Giants coaches for HCs and now they look like bums

And now at Buffalo on Sunday night with the Bills coming off a loss.
The fans and team are going to be beyond hyped.

Any chance to win will require taking the crowd out early.

Possibly the 2 best players on the team didn't turn-up consistently awful, they turned up consistently injured.

I don’t understand why or how the Giants appear slow and small.
I’m amazed at what the offensive lines of opponents look like compared to ours.
This is the NFL and I know it can’t be true, this isn’t MKA playing Don Bosco scenario, yet it appears to be.
Madness.
The Dolphins could have never thrown a forward pass yesterday and beat the Giants by 30

Check out the roster for OL heights and weights. Not undersized.

All of them are just about the worst at their positions. It’s honestly hard to believe

When so many highly touted draft picks struggle I have to wonder about the blocking schemes.
The old "Inside/over/linebacker" man blocking schemes were simple and allowed OL to be agressive and sure of their task. The more current zone blocking schemes rely on teamwork and intution. Sometimes lines miss defenders because nobody is sure who has who. Even a good OL will have trouble just showing-up to play. I can see why Thomas took a year to settle in

Everyone on that O-line looks like a practice squad player.
All this time trying to improve this area. Possibly the worst in the league this year.

Am I making a coffee to stay up and watch this game or some sleepy time tea and get a nice long restful sleep?

Will the GMen get their first offensive TD in the first half this season? Looking like no for tonight.
