Gotta give them some slack. Giants have an outstanding set of receivers. Could argue they have the best trio of receivers in the league. I knew we would struggle defending all of them.

They did make some serious coverage mistakes though, but I think that's just rust they'll be able to shake off as the season goes on.

The Giants receivers? :nonod:

They're middle of the pack right now. Their Steve Smith is good. The rest aren't that special.

We made them look better than they are, today.

Yes. Manningham, Nicks, and Smith each accounted for nearly 3k yards in 2009.

I didn't say they were all elite, but together they make a pretty good trio.

I think that has more to do with this guy.

He's not his brother, but he's not bad either.

Smith is good. Nicks is getting better but still raw. Manningham? Not a big fan.

Like I said, we made them look better than I believe they really are.

I like Gamble BUT!

After watching the game again I took some notes JUST on Gamble. He did not play too bad MOST of the game, HOWEVER that #20 was seen sliding around on the ground a few glaring times all during a short window of GAME TIME.

1) 3rd quarter 03:29 when #82 Manningham stood there flat footed while he dove at his feet behind #82.

2) 3rd quarter 03:02 when he was WAY out of position on #82 Manningham from over commenting to the inside and then seemed to just wait for #30 Godfrey to hit the guy.

NOTE these happened to be BACK to BACK plays! Maybe he was gassed??

3) 4th quarter 11:44 when #44 Bradshaw walk right bye him for a score.

I will say it looked like #30 Godfrey was having to pick up some of the slack today (at least during this part of the game). I bet he #30 is really sore after all that running to help someone out of position or when they were failing to make the hit and stop someone.

Between the two, Marshall was worse. Gamble wasn't that bad, but wasn't great either.

In my mind, both were equally bad today. Marshall got caught gambling without the right help over the top while Gamble flat out let his man get behind him without safety coverage. Moreover, I can't tell that there was a play in front of him to split his attention. He's supposed to be our shutdown guy and he was getting toasted all day.

Maybe he is used to being able to make the cuts on turf that isn't wet, but I lay at least 10 points at his feet today. Our front 7 did too good to have this mess kill us on what is supposed to be a strength of our D.

The other was the 2nd half breakdown of our OLine... but that's another discussion entirely.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
