The New York Giants continued their primetime hunch on Sunday Evening Soccer, piecing collectively a futile offensive effort in a 17-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at MetLife Stadium.

However regardless of these calls, head coach Brian Daboll intends to stay with Jones, who can be below middle on Sunday afternoon towards the Philadelphia Eagles.
As we enter Week 7, right here’s a have a look at the place the Giants place in a large number of energy rankings.

Brian Daboll saved risking it on fourth-down performs. The NBC announcers made it sound like he was teaching for his job. The Bengals had been higher than the file they delivered to MetLife. The Giants could be barely higher than this rating however not a lot.

New York’s offensive line is improved, it added a No. 1 large receiver in Malik Nabers and coach Brian Daboll is looking performs. It’s nonetheless not sufficient. This staff struggles to attain factors … once more! The Giants are twenty ninth within the NFL, averaging 16.0 factors per recreation. That is after being thirtieth within the league with 15.6 PPG final season. “The last word objective is to attain factors,” Daboll mentioned.

The New York Giants made issues fascinating towards the Bengals in Week 6, but New York simply didn’t have sufficient firepower to win. Whereas New York’s stout defensive entrance gave Joe Burrow and the Bengals loads of issues, they finally ran out of gasoline late within the fourth quarter.
New York’s comeback try was halted by kicker Greg Joseph, who missed two essential discipline targets on Sunday evening. Now the Giants will try to show issues round towards the Eagles in a divisional matchup in Week 7, the beginning of a three-game stretch (Steelers and Commanders after that) that might place them for an early choose in April.

After operating throughout Seattle’s protection per week in the past, I anticipated New York to do extra of the identical towards a Cincinnati protection that has had bother stopping the run. However as soon as once more, head coach Brian Daboll hasn’t been in a position to replicate any offensive success from one week to the subsequent. Daniel Jones had 41 passing makes an attempt on Sunday evening — a transparent signal that Daboll has misplaced the plot as a play caller. It bears repeating that issues didn’t need to be this manner had the group simply been sincere about needing to half methods with Jones two years in the past. Everybody in New York is anchored to a quarterback who can’t get it performed.

The Giants have scored one landing in three video games at MetLife Stadium. That got here through Tyrone Tracy Jr. within the third quarter Sunday, and the Giants had their probabilities after that however wilted on three straight fourth-quarter possessions despite crossing not less than the Cincinnati 36-yard line on all of them. They’re now 0-3 at dwelling this season. Someway, the Giants are 1-14 in prime-time video games below Daniel Jones. In early-window video games, he’s thrown for 45 TDs and 20 INTs. In afternoon slots, these numbers are 11 and 4, respectively. But by some means, he’s thrown for 12 TDs and 20 INTs in these 15 evening video games, and it was extra of the identical towards the Bengals. He’d performed effectively in current video games, however Jones fell again on this one. He’ll have to rally quick with three harder video games upcoming. And a warning: Jones and the Giants play at Pittsburgh on Monday evening in Week 8.
