saw that one coming

 

    The Giants once again got embarrassed due to an lackluster offensive performance by DJ and company. And because of that I am once again reluctant to write about this game because of how painful they have become to watch. With that said I'll do my best to get make this one quick and painless. 

    After yet again failing to score on the opening possession of the game the Giants gave the ball right to the Dolphins who took it down the field with ease. Miami's explosive offense ran it right down the Giants throats and scored almost immediately. New York was then forced to punt again the following drive, and the Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane took the third play of the next drive 76 yards to the house. 

    Despite a 102-yard pick six from Jason Pinnock before the half (which was the Giants only touchdown of the day) the Giants simply had no answer for the Dolphins. The only significant thing to happen for the Giants in the second half was the injury to Daniel Jones who left the game late in the third with a neck injury and did not return, With Tyrod Taylor under center the G-Men's offense was still just as stale and didn't score without #8. The game ended 31-16 Miami.

    The biggest question to come from this game is how long will Daniel Jones be out. Although that is still unclear, for reference he also injured his neck in 2021 and that caused him to miss 6 games. During post game press conferences on Sunday he said he was "sore" but he felt "fine". He will undergo an MRI on Monday morning which should give us more information on the severity of his injury, but considering we've seen this injury shut him down for a season already, it's plausible that Big Blue could be without their quarterback for sometime. 

    On the positive side, the Giants defense finally was able to create turnovers and did it multiple times on Sunday. They had their first two interceptions from the year, one from Okereke and one from Pinnock, and Kayvon Thibodeaux was also able to recover a fumble. Those three made most of the plays for New York's defense throughout the afternoon combining for 16 tackles.

    Thibodeaux has seemed much more comfortable the last few weeks and is finally getting consistent pressure off the edge. He has been one of the lone bright spots and is beginning to look worth the 5th overall selection. 

    In other news, the G-Men could be getting both Saquon Barkley and Andrew Thomas back within the next week or two. A classic two steps forward one step back situation if the loss of Jones is extensive. And although the schedule does lighten up after the Bills game next week, the Giants already stagnant offense is going to need their 40 million dollar man to stand a chance moving forward. And as a warning, next week's blog could be a lengthy rant because I'll be making the drive to Buffalo this weekend to watch what could a VERY long game. Pray for me.

NFL MOCK DRAFT 2026

DOM'S NFL MOCK DRAFT 2026 This 2026 Draft has all the makings of a memorable one. According to multiple sources, this could be one of the most trade-heavy draft days in recent memory. Even in an already unpredictable draft, projecting trades is borderline impossible, so I’ll mostly stick to the current order, mixing in a few where it makes sense.  Let's get into it. 1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza- QB, Indiana It’s become a trend in my recent mock drafts that the No. 1 overall pick feels like a consensus no-brainer, and that continues here. All signs point to Mendoza as the choice. He’s an elite pocket passer and will have the benefit of learning behind recently acquired Kirk Cousins. The real question isn’t who they choose but how long it takes before Mendoza takes over as the starter. 2. New York Jets: David Bailey- Edge, Texas Tech  Last Wednesday, the Jets canceled their top-30 meeting with Bailey, leaving people confused and leading some to believe New York could b...

sin city statement

In what was the Giants’ most important game in three years, they took on the Raiders in the 2025 Tank Bowl, a matchup where the loser would control the number one overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. In typical Giants fashion, with the top pick on the line, they played their best football of the season. The win drops New York to the number two pick in the draft order, but there is still a path back to the number one selection. A loss to Dallas next week for the Giants, paired with a Raiders win over a suddenly lowly Chiefs team, could still flip the order. While a loss might have helped the Giants add draft capital, this win still mattered. Even against a flawed Raiders team, there were legitimate positives. Jaxson Dart looked comfortable, the defense made timely, game-changing plays, and the special teams unit had its best performance of the year. As I mentioned last week, since the firing of Brian Daboll, Dart had struggled to rediscover the rhythm he showed earlier in the season. Yes...
