here we go again...

 Almost exactly a year ago today, I wrote my first Giants post game blog. It was after a game where the Giants came out flat at home in a season opener and didn't score a touchdown. And here we are in the same exact situation again.

The Giants opened their 100th season celebration with a home game against the Minnesota Vikings who were missing their rookie QB JJ McCarthy. This meant that Sam Darnold would be under center for the Vikes. And as someone who has not played to his potential throughout his career, the Giants defense made him look like a former third overall pick. He shredded through New York's secondary, completing 19/24 passes for 208 yards and 2 TD passes. 

With that said, I don't blame the defense for this loss. As per usual, this one falls on the offense. After a full offseason of additions at the wide receiver position and promises of an offense that would take shots down the field, the Giants did just the opposite. Brian Daboll's first game calling plays was filled with short routes, RPOs, and screen passes. I wouldn't be opposed to this if they were winning or even in the game. But even in a blowout, New York only threw one pass over 20 yards down the field. While many have blamed this on the coaching, I put the blame elsewhere.

Everything wrong with this team right now falls on one man's shoulders, #8. Daniel Jones has been awful since the Giants gave him that $160 million contract. He even has more pick-sixes than touchdowns thrown since putting pen to paper. Pathetic.

I have been a Jones truther for years and there really is no more backing him up. He has a number one receiver, the line is much improved, and he still just can't get it done. He missed several wide open throws and looked even more scared than he usually does. Sure, this could just be him settling back in after the injury, but even with that a year six QB should be able to make better throws. If we see a repeat performance next week against the rival Commanders there must be a quarterback change. This can not go on any longer. 

In the end, this team has just become embarrassing. LT, Eli, Cruz, Simms, and every other Giants legend in the house to celebrate the teams 100th season, and you lose by 22 to a team without their QB at home. This is a historic franchise that has now become one of the laughing stocks of the league.This is truly the hardest it's ever been to be a fan of the New York Giants. Changes need to be mad from the top down, until then we could be in for yet another long season.

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...
