Ultimate NYG

There was not a single good thing in this game. The team was flat against a perfunctory Viking team. Outcoached. 9 penalties. Dropped balls. No pass rush. Sam Darnold (!) Turkey carving. No in-game adjustments. Daniel Jones deserves a skewering. That Pick 6 was as ugly as the one in preseason. He is tentative. He can’t process. Tuck and run. Missed open receivers.

Let’s run through all 32 NFL teams plus a Giants Preview for what to look for this upcoming season, as provided by our resident Draft analyst, Wonder. (Note we rounded up or down on lines which resulted in an integer because of the skew at a 1/2 game was egregious. Las Vegas wants half game totals so that nothing ends in a tie.) BUF 10.5 Under. Not worried about Allen and … [Read more...] about Wonder: NFL 32 + NYG Preview
