seen that movie before

The Giants lost to the Cowboys in Primetime

How many more times do I have to read that headline?

I still don't understand why the NFL feels they have to put this "rivalry" on national TV every season when the Giants haven't shown up in a Dallas game in 8 years. But that is beside the point. 

New York once again failed to score a touchdown, and the offense was again hard to watch. Coming into the game Dallas had a bottom-five rush defense and had been exposed all season. Meaning Daboll (hopefully) noticed this and wanted to make running the football a focal point. Despite this, Dallas had their best game against a running back allowing just 24 yards to Singeltary on 14 attempts.

The Cowboys basically stacked the box every play and challenged number 8 in blue to beat them, but he couldn't, shocker. As we have seen time and time again, Daniel Jones just cannot get it done in primetime, especially when it's against the Cowboys.

The play that displayed this the most was the first play of the second quarter. The G-Men had a free play as one of the Dallas defenders jumped offsides, Daniel Jones had all the time in the world to make a throw to a wide-open Darius Slayton and instead underthrew him for an interception. I legitimately think that 31/32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL are able to make that throw hitting Slayton in stride for a touchdown.

I am sick and tired of defending this guy. The Giants fans who say "Well he didn't throw a pick" or "he made some good throws" need to open their eyes. The guy is average at best. In DJ's best season, they won WITH him, not BECAUSE of him. There is a huge difference there. 

I would like to give credit to the Giants defense who looked great again last night, holding Dallas to just 20 points. They did all they could do to give the G-Men a chance to win but the offense was yet again unable to get into the endzone at home. This game now marks 634 days since Daniel Jones has thrown a touchdown pass at MetLife Stadium. I repeat 634 days since throwing a touchdown in your HOME stadium. Just atrocious.

With the offense looking horrendous outside of Malik Nabers (who may already be a top-10 receiver in the NFL) and the season basically over I think it is worth a shot to give Drew Lock a few starts. See what you have in him and maybe resign him for next year as a bridge QB and someone to help develop whoever we draft in April. 

The Giants now have nine days until their next game, when they travel to Seattle to play Drew Lock's former team, the Seahawks.
