He got his revenge. In Saquon Barkley's return to MetLife Stadium, he got the best of the team that drafted him. After Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, and company were able to contain him for the majority of the first quarter, Barkley was finally able to break through. As an avid Giants fan, I have seen Saquon going into a "different mode" a few times in his career. The two I remember specifically are the game in Washington in 2022 with a playoff spot on the line, and the postseason game in Minnesota. In both of those games he ran with true purpose and a different determination, just go back and watch the tape. I saw that same Saquon yesterday, he treated this game differently, no matter what he said.  (image via Luke Hales/Getty Images) Saquon, even with taking the fourth quarter off, ran for 176 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. That marks the second-best rushing day in Barkley's seven-year NFL career. On the Giants' side, the defense, especially the defensive ...

 Another primetime game, another loss.  Like every week, New York started the game down 7-0 after allowing the other team to take the lead in the most embarrassing way possible. This time the defense played a nearly perfect first drive getting one of the best offenses in the league to a third-and-18 situation. Except on this play, the entire defense took to the left side of the field, leaving a capable Joe Burrow to scramble down the right side for a 47-yard touchdown essentially untouched. This marked the longest run of his career. DJ responded with a strong drive down to the Cincinnati 14-yard line, but then threw one of the worst interceptions you'll see all season. Instead of throwing it away on first down Jones was hit as he threw, lobbing a pass directly to the Bengals linebacker. image via Robert Deutsch/Imagn Images An underwhelming first half came to an end with the score still 7-0 as the Giant's defensive pass rush continued to dominate and the offense remained stagn...

Yesterday was the most dominant I have seen the Giants play in years. They looked like a completely different team from start to finish, well almost start to finish. After a beautiful opening drive to Seattle's one-yard line, the Giants did the most Giants thing ever by fumbling the ball and allowing a 101-yard return for TD by the defense. But before I could reach for the remote to change the channel, Daniel Jones led yet another methodical drive down the field, ending in a Wan'Dale Robinson touchdown.  Daboll seemed a little more lenient in throwing the ball deep, despite Seattle's talented secondary. Taking these risks worked out multiple times for the Giants who completed their most deep throws of the season, even without Malik Nabers.  The long ball threat created openings in the run game for Tyrone Tracy Jr who had got the brunt of the load due to Devin Singletary's injury. Tracy had 18 carries for 129 yards on the ground and seemed always to find a hole against a...
