The New York Giants They knew they would get into the Tampa Bay stadium this Monday night Buccaneers that they would be looking for someone to pay for the broken dishes after two consecutive and unexpected setbacks. Once again this season we saw a relatively close game until the 9th minute of the second quarter, after which this became a process where the Bucs regained confidence to re-install themselves in the territory of NFC favorites, while the Giants are still at their level: playing at their best they can compete, but they bring nothing to beat the heavyweights in the league.
The Giants defense put heart
The Giants on defense looked solid, at least the first half, limiting only 10 points to the attack of Tom Brady and company, without allowing the big play and with an interception by CB Adoree ‘Jackson that left the ball at the five-yard line. Tampa Bay and that two plays later would mean the tie at ten points.
Until then, we observed a clean job and a preparation of the game almost at the level of Super Bowl XLVI that brings such good memories in New York, making Brady look uncomfortable; but it is well said that this sport is about adjustments and there was no way that some inferior Giants could maintain the rhythm for 60 minutes on the team of Bruce Arians and that Tom Brady did not take control of the game, as it happened from now on.
While it is true that the Tampa Bay running game was not brilliant in this meeting, the question remains whether this was the merit of the Giants or rather a sample of the offensive balance of the Bucs, who decided to reload the game in the pass and They still got 94 total yards and 1 TD via carry.
Wanted worthy heir of Eli
We all know that the main reason the Giants selected Jones was because of that association with the Manning and the coach of both brothers David Cutcliffe, but it is clear that personal and circumstantial connections are not enough for success in the NFL.
Week after week we see how the Giants seek to make adjustments to the offense, to make the game easier for Jones, however, the QB always remains in duty. It is true that the talent on the roster is nothing like that of the golden times with Manning, now the lacks and the lack of effectiveness to maintain offensive series and give the QB peace of mind from the offensive line to finish his readings and execute the passes.
Perhaps the only point to be patient with him is that Manning himself once said that it was until his fourth year that the game began to feel slower and that he was finally able to get his readings right. We all know that he was a constantly intercepted QB and that he did not stand out for his control in the passing game, andSo here is the question: Was Eli Manning the result of a system and does the Giants board think they can repeat the formula? It seems like the only way to keep Daniel Jones on the job.
Another issue that excuses Jones is undoubtedly the cast that accompanies him. RB Saquon Barkley, who no longer inspires confidence due to his constant injuries, this time only had 25 yards averaging 4.2 on 6 tackles.
Anyway, the answer for New York to revive the spark on offense does not seem to be in its current roster, so this Giants team can become one of the protagonists of the 2022 NFL Draft in search of a new quarterback, to Unless a 3-7 that becomes consistent at this point in each season seems like a better idea.
