The Giants are taking part in Sunday morning in Germany for the soccer world to see. Dropping this sport to what many contemplate the NFL’s worst staff can be a foul look, and it might present a sinking feeling heading into the bye.

Daniel Jones and the offense proceed to struggle laborious regardless of some limitations past rookies Malik Nabers and Tyrone Tracy Jr., however it doesn’t imply a lot when the protection is giving up too many large performs from wilting in opposition to the run.

No qualifiers or backhanded compliments from me this week; Daniel Jones was objectively good on Sunday. Jones’s legs powered this offense when it wanted a spark, and he made two of his finest throws of the season: one within the again nook of the top zone, and the opposite within the seam for a rating. These are the sorts of performs New York’s offense must compete every week. The Giants’ stunning competence during the last two weeks has been a private aid, as a number of groups on the underside of the facility rankings appear to be closing store already, which makes for a tough watch. As a result of Jones is auditioning for his eventual subsequent gig, not less than there’s some intrigue after I activate a Giants sport.

Within the first half, the Giants ran 28 performs in opposition to the Commanders. Seven of these had been move performs, with Daniel Jones making an attempt six throws and being sacked as soon as. 5 of these had been Jones runs, most of them referred to as — and so they had been largely profitable. However when the Giants protection couldn’t maintain the Commanders, solely then did the Giants ask Jones to start out throwing the ball for actual, to the tune of 20 move makes an attempt as they tried to make it a sport. The Giants drove for 2 fourth-quarter touchdowns to provide themselves a shot however as soon as once more couldn’t get a vital cease. So whereas the protection stays a significant concern, struggling the previous three video games, the query additionally circles again to how a lot the Giants actually belief Jones to steer a extra conventional assault. They seemingly threw the ball solely after they felt they needed to. Dealing with Carolina’s protection subsequent week might be a salve for that, however there are longer-term ramifications at stake right here, with Jones’ future with the membership coming to a head down the stretch.

We noticed indicators of life from the New York Giants offense, however it nonetheless wasn’t sufficient for them to win in Week 9. The issue when you may have a bottom-tier offense is that you just not less than want a top-10 protection, and so they’re there on that facet of the ball.
The schedule does flip within the coming weeks, going from the fourth-hardest to the second-easiest. However whereas New York gained’t be formally eradicated for a couple of extra weeks, 10-7 appears a practical quantity to make the postseason within the NFC, that means the Giants would wish to win all of their remaining eight video games.
