I really haven't followed them this season. It looks like Daniel Jones is out but they still have Saquon Barkley? Are they worse than the Jets?
I doubt the Giants have anywhere near the defense the Jets have. If they played each other it might be 0-0. I thought I read that Barkley was not playing.
Now I remember this game. I think that Chris Berman called it 'a game straight out of the 70s.' There were something crazy light 16-18 punts in the game. It was like the Iowa Hawkeyes playing the Iowa Hawkeyes. Then it all went crazy, fans were leaving the stadium in the 4th quarter, went to overtime, and all of a sudden the Jets finally moved the ball.Week 8
"Jets stun Giants late and earn ugly 13-10 overtime win on Zuerlein's field goal"
The name Cowboys makes the Giants cringe. 4 of their games are always against Dallas and Philly. We should be playing Barkley and force DeVito to beat us. Their O line is not good. Their D has been on the field most of the year. And they get to receive plenty of kickoffs. Needless to say after winning in Minnesota last January we marked this game as a certain loss. Now go figure.I really haven't followed them this season. It looks like Daniel Jones is out but they still have Saquon Barkley? Are they worse than the Jets?
I ask because I'm genuinely curious even though this will probably come across as snarky. What makes you think the Giants will score 25 when the Chiefs couldn't score 20? They're legitimately a horrible offense.That said I think Love ends his pick free streak but still plays quite solidly...I'll go Packers 31 Giants 25 and predict Love goes for around 275 Yards above 60% completion again and yet again tosses 3 TDs albeit with 1 INT too.

This is when the coaching has to keep the players on an even keel. Only a handful of our players started in a playoff game. They cannot let the players get over thrilled by one good play. Nor can they allow them to loose their MOJO with one bad play. MLF must remind the team how the Giants stole one last year. And he cannot try to be cute just because it is a lesser opponent. The Giants have to play spoiler and MLF cannot let them spoil it.I'm very worried about this game...truthfully I cringed when I saw we went to the Giants and Vikings...
Young teams are VERY susceptable to trap games IMO...but also young teams know no better and this team is quickly reinforcing the concept of any given Sunday is so true.

Yes. I think I saw whereIf the GB pass rush doesn't have a minimum of 8 sacks I'llbe shocked. Except for LT their OL is garbage. Love needs to keep making good decisions & moving the ball. Should be able to both run & pass to put points up. Avoid dumb mistakes &/or playing flat.
Probably try to use Barkley and then go with quick release short passes. Against a team like this go for the ball.If the GB pass rush doesn't have a minimum of 8 sacks I'llbe shocked.

I truly think this becomes a trapish game where we struggle some.
Trappish is fine, but I don't think it's going to be trappish to the point of the Giants doing something they've only done x2 during the year and something the Packers have only allowed x2 and that is giving up 25+
I haven't really followed the Giants much, other than to know their starting QB is out.The name Cowboys makes the Giants cringe. 4 of their games are always against Dallas and Philly.

Agree. Another learning experience for the young guys. The coaches and veterans need to lead with knowledge and strength this week. This IS the definition of "Trap Game". They need to defeat the trap.I truly think this becomes a trapish game where we struggle some.
Daniel Jones is what happened imho. He is not really that good. Last year he used his legs very effectively toward the end of the year. But defenses caught up with that. I really don't know anything about their O or D lines.I haven't really followed the Giants much, other than to know their starting QB is out.
But what happened to them this year? They had a great 2022-2023 season, won one playoff game and now, pfffft....... Were there excessive injuries, difficult schedule? I just remember the NFC East as being on fire last year. Well, with Philly and Dallas, that's still true I guess.
Either Philly or more likely Dallas will be a wild card with an 12-5 or 13-4 season, maybe better. And that while the NFC South winner could easily be below .500 and get a home playoff game. No justice, sometimes.
...but not before the Giants paid Jones $40mil/yr!! They are saddled with a mediocre QB & 4 yr cap committment (possibleout before '25 or '26 season). They've been flailing around attempting to build a decent OL for years & '23 is no different. By man, they consistently rank near the bottom at each position. MLF needs to get GB on the board early & often, and keep his footon the gas for 60 minutes. Teach this young team to roll over & trounce bad teams, not play down & not embarrass them. Screw it, embarrass them if they're that bad!Daniel Jones is what happened imho. He is not really that good. Last year he used his legs very effectively toward the end of the year.
