Giants vs. Steelers Week 1: Postgame Recap & Reactions | New York Giants

^ (insert facepalm gif here)

It’s kinda funny how this O-Line already looks better than in the last few years, even though they had some major screw-ups, which can be attributed to inexperience. In a way, the biggest difference between this year’s O-Line and the one’s before is that there always was much room for improvement when it came to the Giants offensive line, but this year it looks like they finally also have the potential to actually improve. I’m curious to see the adjustments they’ll make for week 2.

The o line did terrible when running the football. They did decent on pass protection though.

Balake ironically how long has it been since we could say we had a decent pass pro line? 😂

ANYMUSICLIVE a long long time🤣

it was a good game regardless they lost they are definitely going to win against the bears🙂

Isn’t it cool to actually feel kinda positive after a loss for a change, instead of being like “well, I wouldn’t have expected anything different” like it felt over the last few years?

^ these guys must of watched another Giants’ game than I did last night… maybe in an alternate universe? Game I watched looked very similar to the nonsense that has produced 3 to 5 win seasons. Giants didn’t look close to being a winning football team and have mountains to move before they are. I bleed Blue… so saying that is disheartening and frustrating… but TRUTHFUL. 💯

Idk if this was anything like the last few years. This should not have even been close.

@Lucas Martinez — Giants got a penalty-aided TD (suspect PI on Steelers on 3rd down) in 1st half, then got the proverbial garbage time late TD when game was over and Steelers in prevent D winding out game. Meanwhile, couldn’t run-block for Jack-S whole game, and Defense regressed and got softer/worse as game went on. All bad signs. Looked like a 6 win team, AT BEST… and way more likely to be worse than that. Overall… they played poorly and no amount of fluff rah-rahs by delusional fans or by ex-Giants wanting them to do well is changing that reality.

You’re correct that INT I think was the play of the game all he had to do was run out of bounds are even take the sack and maybe score the next play.

Engram was so bad. Drops, terrible routs, missed blocks, a penalty… totally lost. They would have had at least 7 more points in the 1st half if he had a clue.

@B Selman Yup I’ve seen enough of him hopefully they can trade him if they can a 3rd or 4th round pick for him they should take it and move on.

@B Selman The giants are a run first team the run sets up the pass so a big physical T.E would suit this offence better not a small fast pass catching T.E our two other T.E made plays last night Smith and the other guy I can’t spell with his name lol

I think we should start kaden smith trade engram

Or a hurry up offence being that they where blitzing on every play

Bro it’s week one. And we will learn about that, but the TE’s killed us, can’t block, can’t catch. But be happy our team battled Hard, on to the next game easy W

I agree, I don’t want to see that too much in general just because I don’t want to put DJ in harms way, but when the rush is getting to him that fast and consistent it could have slowed them down, made them think twice about rushing 6 guys up the middle every play when he can take off around the edge for a few yards and move the sticks.

I’m fairly certain that it’s mainly because the Coaches wanted to use week 1 to make sure that Jones actually improved his ball protection before sending him into situations where it becomes a necessity. Now that he has shown more awareness for it, they can start to think about calling plays that rely on his athletic ability. You can’t rehearse it as much as you want during training, but it’ll always just be a simulation of an actual game day. You don’t want to go into week 1 repeating the very same mistakes that dragged you down last season, they’re still in an optimization stage with all the new schemes, coaches and players and I’m sure we’re going to see quite the variety of play calling in the first 4-5 games, until they’ve really figured out what works best in a real game with the roster they have.

To keep him from fumbling
