Giants trying to prevent winless start from spiraling even more
The Giants took a crucial step Monday to prevent their season from slipping away when Bobby Okereke blamed himself. Despite Devin Singletary losing a fumble, Malik Neighbors dropping a key pass, 10 other defensive starters sharing the blame for allowing seven field goals on seven attempts and coach Brian Daboll's repeated failure to manage his […]
Giants make bad NFL history in disastrous loss to Commanders
The New York Giants watched as Austin Seifert of the Washington Commanders made his seventh field goal of the game to make the game 21-18 and push the Big Blue to 0-2. Things weren't looking good in East Rutherford, New Jersey, but Seifert's field goal on Sunday elevated the Giants' plight to historic proportions. If […]
Giants locked in a battle to keep their positivity
Hey, did you see what the Saints did to the Cowboys? They beat them in Dallas. They scored 44 points. I didn't see that coming. Look at the Vikings. They beat the 49ers and are 2-0 with Sam Darnold at quarterback. I didn't think that was going to happen. Look at the AFC North. Why […]
Graham Gano out ‘a few weeks’ with injury after Giants disaster
Better late than never, the Giants are looking to acquire a replacement for Graham Gano. Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Gano will miss “several weeks” with a hamstring injury. It's unclear whether the Giants will place the 37-year-old kicker on injured reserve, which would require him to miss at least four weeks, or keep […]
How Giants’ Brian Daboll made things worse after Graham Gano injury
The Giants have never been 0-2 under coach Brian Daboll. They were 2-0 in 2022 and 1-1 in 2023 with a big upset win at Arizona. So this is the nadir of early-season woes for Daboll and the Giants. They didn't deserve to beat the Vikings in the season opener, and they didn't deserve to […]
How Jayden Daniels left the Giants in Daniel Jones limbo
The Giants' conversation after Sunday probably won't center around Daniel Jones, and that's something of a win for the quarterback after last week's game. Jones didn't lose to the Giants in this game. He completed 16 of 28 attempts for 178 yards and two touchdowns in a typical Daniel Jones performance. Austin Seibert's game-winning field […]
Shane Bowen’s Giants run defense trampled by Commanders in loss
LANDOVER, Md. — With Shane Bowen on the scene as defensive coordinator, the Giants' run defense was supposed to improve. The Giants fell to 0-2 after a 21-18 loss to the Commanders at Northwest Stadium and looked pretty doomed. “It's not ideal,” linebacker Bobby Okereke said. Washington running back Brian Robinson took an unmatched step […]
Giants’ Malik Nabers haunted by crucial drop despite breakout performance
LANDOVER, Md. — Malik Neighbors did everything in his power to help the Giants avoid a season-ending slump except catch the final ball. The dynamic rookie played as advertised — with his easy speed, flashy catches, touchdowns and, on the flip side, drops — in a 21-18 loss to the Commanders in their second game […]
Brian Daboll set Giants up for failure with misguided gamble
The questioning wasn't just aimed at Daniel Jones. That was reserved for Brian Daboll. You can't really blame Daniel Jones (two touchdown passes, 32 rushing yards) or Malik Neighbors (18 targets, 10 touchdowns, 127 yards, one touchdown) for the Commanders' 21 points and the Giants' 18 points. This is the head coach's responsibility. Brian Daboll […]
Giants Week 2 report card: Run defense was lousy
Ratings for the Giants' 21-18 loss to the Commanders in Week 2 on Sunday: attack The unit had seven possessions and scored three touchdowns. The problem was, Daniel Jones and company just weren't doing enough. Jones (16-of-28, 178 yards, 2 TDs, 100.0 passer rating) bounced back strongly from a terrible opener. In fact, there was […]
