can't even tank right

     Leave it to the Giants to lose the must win games and win the must lose ones. 

    While this week's Patriots-Giants game was a clash of the NFL's 31st and 32nd best offenses, it was also a battle for a higher draft pick. The Pats came into the week just ahead of the G-Men on the draft board, meaning a win for them would knock them out of the top five and a loss would boost them all the way to the number two or three slot. The Giants were already sitting at five and a loss would get them back into the top three. And as we have discussed, with this QB class this is they year to have a top five pick.

    But that may not happen on DeVito's watch.

    In what was a pretty boring punt fest, the Giants prevailed once again and Tommy Touchdowns had yet another solid performance with 200 plus family members in attendance. Although he did throw for three touchdowns this time, his ability to loft the deep ball over defenders and stand in the pocket and make throws was impressive nonetheless. He found Hyatt down the sideline multiple times and was able to help the rookie receiver reach the century mark for the first time in his young career. His lone touchdown went to Isaiah Hodgins who scored and went right to his QB to do his signature celebration.

    On the other hand, the defense had yet another multi-turnover game. Big Blue forced three interceptions, two from Mac Jones and one from Bailey Zappe who came in for relief of Jones. Those came from Okereke, McKinney, and Banks.

    

    Okereke has continued to become a true leader on the defense and knock the ball out, giving opportunities to the offense week in and week out. Deonte Banks had some trouble early, yet the interceptions are starting to come slowly but surely and he has shown sparks that he can be a true number one corner. 

   In the end, I know this win splits the fanbase between the people who root the Giants no matter the situation and people who want them to tank and win in the long run. As someone who roots for the tank, this win frustrated me and ruined my hopes of getting Caleb Williams or Drake Maye high in this draft. But we still have five more games which could easily be five more loses, so I guess there is still hope. Meanwhile I guess we'll ride the Tommy Train until the wheels fall off.
