As bad as the O looked tonight, the D is playing better and better. I have no doubt that the O can get back on track as they are far too talented. Our defense however is starting to play really well. Only 10 points. This is good folks!!!

I won't get too excited until they play like that against somebody other than Eli, but it was nice to see

Defense played well, but some big drops by Giants receivers and stupid plays by Eli made us look better. This is still an average defense..

Can they get the super sticky WR gloves for the DBs? The defense could be almost elite if they could just catch better.

The Giants are approaching Browns level futility on offense with a running attack that is the worst since the 1940s.

It comes down to a few plays in almost every NFL game. A game changing drop by Church! Huge play. Durant drop.......

It's possible that that's the best game the defense has played in 4 years honestly. 3 turnovers, 10 points. Too bad the offense wasted it.
you forgot two of the most maligned DL showed up in T Crawford and mayowa

Especially for Church. He holds on to just ONE of those picks and game would have been different. Cowboys owned Giants in first half but only 7 points.

He took several steps with possession on one of them but couldn't hold on when he hit the ground.

It just occured to me that he is probably still wearing that protector on his arm which could be part of the problem.

Some people called it in the game thread that he couldn't grip it with that sleeve.

I played with a cast on my forearm, you just have to pin ball to your body. I had more INTs with cast than before cast. Never wore it in wet weather so that could also contributed.

They played a fantastic game. I trust Marinelli more than any of the other coaches on the team. Give the guy some talent, and I have faith he could build a dominant defense. What he's doing with 'no-names' is amazing.

The Giants offense is JV, but we don't play a good offense the rest of the way.
