Giants:
1) Running game: It looks decent, but we don't have a great back. Jennings is good, but not great. O-line still needs a little work on the right side. Even Vereen said NOPE when he went to the other side.
2) Passing game: I'd like to see Cruz back and see the combo between Cruz and Odell. Eli still looks lost out there, o-line had pressure but the pressure wasn't as bad as it was last year, IMO. Parker is garbage, if you can't catch 5 footballs in a game, you need to be benched. I'm just really surprised we kept Parker but let go of James Jones...very upset over that.
3) Defense: Pass rush is fucking garbage right now, but I think the secondary isn't bad....despite that last drive. I think Spags can work with what he has. I thinkt ackling is a major concern for me because in the past few years, I've seen some really awful tackling by the giants. We get beat on WR screens I've noticed, dallas pulls that on us a shit ton and they always pick up good yards.
I'm just really pissed off with management after that game, coaching staff, etc.

This team is not good at all. Created 3 turnovers which was great, but they cant close out the fucking game. The defensive line created no pressure against Romo. Eventually we are gonna get picked apart by great offenses. Cruz and Beason need to get back asap so we can go 6-10 this year.

Don't be down 17 points at halftime.
Don't rely on the mediocore kicker.

Offensive was horrible but the only bright spots was Hillman and Sanders.
Defense was beastly

Hillman only had success when the offensive line started creating some holes. CJ Anderson got hit in the backfield on every one of his runs. Hillman had a couple nice runs (when he had holes), but he also kept trying to cut every run to the outside. Dude needs to learn how to run through holes, and that every run doesn't have to be a big play.Big Bid'Ness said:

Teddy Bridgewater played scared, like he's focusing on statistics a bit too much. Setting an 80% completion percentage goal was dumb. It's not going to happen. He needs to forget about stats and just let loose.
Coaching errors were huge in this game--Rhett Ellison was in on a passing down when both Kyle Rudolph and Mycole Pruitt should get those snaps ahead of him. He dropped an easy first down on a third down pass and singlehandedly killed a drive. I'm not sure if Pruitt was active, but if he was, there's no excuse to have Ellison out there running routes.
The secondary looked fine but that may have had most to do with Colin Kaepernick being the opposing QB. Xavier Rhodes was good as usual and minimized any receptions he allowed. I thought he was great against the run but only because he was forced to make so many solo tackles on RBs.
The defensive line played like shit, and they're much better than shit. Unacceptable.
The offensive line is an injury riddled mess. It will get better but I don't know how soon. Matt Kalil was the lone bright spot--he's healthy and looking like a good LT all over again.
The purple and gold have a lot of work to do.
