Struggles Mount as Giants Enter the Bye Week
This game was tough to break down. Writing about these losses is getting more difficult as the season drags on. The 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers highlights the ongoing struggles for the New York Giants. This article is late, let’s blame low enthusiasm..
Offensive Woes Continue
Daniel Jones may have played his final game as the Giants’ starting quarterback. Against the NFL’s worst defense, Jones struggled for most of the game. His performance raises questions about his future, and Brian Daboll might make a change soon.
Despite his poor showing, Jones showed some life in the final drive of regulation. He made solid throws and pushed the ball downfield without timeouts, forcing overtime.
Tyrone Tracy delivered another solid game but will likely be remembered for his costly overtime fumble. That mistake ultimately sealed the Giants’ fate.
Jalin Hyatt finally saw more action, catching four passes for 39 yards after being barely used all season. It’s a positive sign for the rookie’s development.
Evan Neal returned to the field for the first time since 2023. The right tackle looked decent, potentially earning a starting role after the bye week.
Defensive Struggles
The pass rush only managed one sack on Bryce Young, recorded by former Panther Brian Burns. Burns now has six sacks on the season but still hasn’t become the dominant force the Giants need.
Special Teams and Looking Ahead
Graham Gano bounced back after a rough start, nailing a clutch kick to send the game to overtime. His reliability could be a bright spot in an otherwise dim season.
At 2-8, the Giants sit at the bottom of the NFL standings. For now, they hold the first or second pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. With the bye week ahead, fans are left wondering: Can this team win another game this season?
