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.

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...
