The sluggish efficiency from quarterback Daniel Jones reignited requires the group to maneuver on after 4 straight weeks of strong play. However regardless of these calls, head coach Brian Daboll intends to stay with Jones, who will likely be below middle on Sunday afternoon in opposition to the Philadelphia Eagles.
As we enter Week 7, right here’s a take a look at the place the Giants place in a mess of energy rankings.

They don’t have a number of “key” gamers however almost all of them have been out of the lineup with accidents. A tribute to HC Brian Daboll – and, frankly, QB Daniel Jones – that the G-Males have remained aggressive.

Brian Daboll saved risking it on fourth-down performs. The NBC announcers made it sound like he was teaching for his job. The Bengals have been higher than the document they dropped at MetLife. The Giants may be barely higher than this rating however not a lot.

New York’s offensive line is improved, it added a No. 1 vast receiver in Malik Nabers and coach Brian Daboll is asking performs. It’s nonetheless not sufficient. This group struggles to attain factors … once more! The Giants are twenty ninth within the NFL, averaging 16.0 factors per recreation. That is after being thirtieth within the league with 15.6 PPG final season. “The final word purpose is to attain factors,” Daboll mentioned.

The New York Giants made issues attention-grabbing in opposition to the Bengals in Week 6, but New York simply didn’t have sufficient firepower to win. Whereas New York’s stout defensive entrance gave Joe Burrow and the Bengals loads of issues, they finally ran out of fuel late within the fourth quarter.
New York’s comeback try was halted by kicker Greg Joseph, who missed two essential discipline targets on Sunday evening. Now the Giants will try to show issues round in opposition to the Eagles in a divisional matchup in Week 7, the beginning of a three-game stretch (Steelers and Commanders after that) that might place them for an early decide in April.

After operating throughout Seattle’s protection per week in the past, I anticipated New York to do extra of the identical in opposition to a Cincinnati protection that has had hassle stopping the run. However as soon as once more, head coach Brian Daboll hasn’t been capable of replicate any offensive success from one week to the following. Daniel Jones had 41 passing makes an attempt on Sunday evening — a transparent signal that Daboll has misplaced the plot as a play caller. It bears repeating that issues didn’t must be this fashion had the group simply been trustworthy about needing to half methods with Jones two years in the past. Everybody in New York is anchored to a quarterback who can’t get it completed.

The Giants have scored one landing in three video games at MetLife Stadium. That got here through Tyrone Tracy Jr. within the third quarter Sunday, and the Giants had their possibilities after that however wilted on three straight fourth-quarter possessions despite crossing a minimum of the Cincinnati 36-yard line on all of them. They’re now 0-3 at house this season. By some means, the Giants are 1-14 in prime-time video games below Daniel Jones. In early-window video games, he’s thrown for 45 TDs and 20 INTs. In afternoon slots, these numbers are 11 and 4, respectively. But in some way, he’s thrown for 12 TDs and 20 INTs in these 15 evening video games, and it was extra of the identical in opposition to the Bengals. He’d performed properly in current video games, however Jones fell again on this one. He’ll must rally quick with three harder video games upcoming. And a warning: Jones and the Giants play at Pittsburgh on Monday evening in Week 8.
