It's never a good sign when the Giants are losing to Washington. Historically speaking the G-Men have fared well against their division rival, but yesterday marked the first time that the Giants were swept by Washington since 2021, which was their worst season under the new NFL format. 

Big Blue's game plan was clear from the get-go, feed Tyrone Tracy, and in the first quarter it worked. Their second drive looked promising with Tracy taking three carries for 10 yards or more. But it came to a screeching halt when Daniel Jones did what he does best, creating the most asinine turnover in the worst possible situation.

A Daniel Jones fumble led to a short field for the Commanders, who quickly took advantage and took a 7-0 lead.

In a game where DJ was barely dropping back to throw, this fumble forced the Giants to rely even more on the run. The following drive consisted of 16 plays, 13 of them being rush attempts. Singeltary, Tracy, Slayton, and Jones are all getting carries. They capped off this possession with Daniel Jones's first home touchdown pass since he signed his $160 million contract. A one-yard throw to third-string tight end Chris Manhertz.

After tying the game, a well-rested Giants defense looked all out of sorts. They let up two touchdowns in the final seven minutes of the half. It looked as if the defense just gave up, specifically Deonte Banks who was lost trying to guard Terry McLaurin in the red zone. 

Although the final score made it seem like a close game, New York never had a chance to win this game after that collapse at the end of the first half.

A huge part of this was the Commander's run game, as they were able to dominate the Giants even without their star RB Brian Robinson Jr. All three of their backup running backs and QB Jayden Daniels getting 8 plus carries.

The defense had their worst game of the season, yet they still allowed fewer than 30 points. Bad defensive games will happen, but once again the real issue was the horrid offense. A garbage time touchdown brought New York's total up to 22, the most points scored in a home game all year and the second-highest scoring game of the season. Even with that, the Giants are still deadlast in points per game this season with an average of just 15.4 per contest. 

I hate that I have to continue to repeat myself week after week in these blogs, but until DJ is gone there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. 

At this point I feel like the only reason to continue starting Daniel Jones is to lose on purpose, and get a higher draft pick. The season is lost and unless the Giants make a deal for Bryce Young or Anthony Richardson, there won't be anything to look forward to until April. On a more positive not, here's a link to the projected number one pick Cam Ward's highlight tape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKQrrdInCKA

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...
