Who has that kind of time?

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on October 18, 2023, 01:50:43 PMThis is in no way a personal attack, as he seems to come across as a nice guy, but is there a single person who has been on the team for the last four seasons who has been more utterly useless as a football player than Matt Peart?
I guess Lemieux would be worthy of consideration for that dubious distinction.
Quote from: UncannyGfan on October 17, 2023, 09:40:11 AMAm I right to say for the first time this season it felt like the Giants had a chance to win for four straight quarters? I only had that feeling for a quarter against Arizona.
Going into the game with the state of the OL they really blew our expectations out of the water.
So in searching for why that was, we had the most observable difference, a new QB. It seems we've been talking more about the QB position then any other on this board by a long shot.
Can we conclude that Taylor was the reason that was a winnable game despite it being one of the highest probably losing game this season as the announcers pointed out ahead of the game? Well that's where the discussion is heading next.
I think Taylor gave them a better chance to win over expectations because of how well they ate up the clock in the first half, not turning the ball over and letting the defense shine. Ceri mention this type of style in another thread. The team went back to trying to eat up clock to keep the overall game score down and giving the team a chance late in the game. Jones or the offensive game plan moved away from that style this season, Waller being evident. Sunday's change in QB and OL situation made them move back towards it. It was fun to watch and I hope they can stick with it going forward this season with either Jones or Taylor. Right now though I'd stick with Taylor until Jones is completely pain free.

Then finding out it was the difference in draft position to get a blue chipper. They had no business winning this game and their prospects for the season are shot. Of course I wanted them to come out on top, but I'm mostly numb to them losing at this point (had lots of practice in recent years).
Quote from: MightyGiants on October 16, 2023, 09:15:23 AMFirst, the immediate sense I got watching the Giants last night was that Tyrod seemed more relaxed and functional in the Giants' offense. I was wondering if the offense would have done as well with Daniel Jones behind center.
Still, over the past few years, we have seen many fans create a standard that the Giants' QB needs to be held. To that end:
Taylor only threw for 200 yards
The Taylor led offense failed to score a TD with 5 trips into the red zone including 2 snaps at the one yard line
Taylor cost the Giants 3 - 7 points by switching a pass play to run and allowing the clock to expire at the 1-yard line at the end of the second half.
The Giants were only able to score 9 points against an injury-depleted Bills defense even with Barkley adding 93 rushing yards
Taylor also enjoyed the advantage of playing with a lead (first time this season)
So I am torn between former Pro Bowler Tyrod Taylor not looking that bad and perhaps better than Jones on the field and the way we have been conditioned to evaluate Daniel Jones which suggests Taylor had a very poor night.
I really don't know what to make of things.
We could have witnessed evidence that Jones is shot (although it's possible Jones could regain his poise, but that doesn't happen often)
We could have just seen flash with no substance since production was no better with Taylor than with Jones
It's possible that hearing so much negative toward Jones (as illustrated in this thread) maybe things would have gone better with Jones. Maybe Jones doesn't check to a run, or they score a TD in one of the 5 trips to the red zone, and the Giants win.
Frankly, I am not sure what the answer is based on the information available.
I guess the silver lining in all of this is that the Giants season may be effectively over, but things certainly will remain interesting.
Quote from: Ed Vette on October 13, 2023, 10:01:03 AMThe #Broncos are officially releasing veteran pass rusher Frank Clark today, per sources.
Like Randy Gregory, the 30-year-old Clark doesn't fit Denver's future plans. But Clark has 58.5 career sacks, two Super Bowl rings ... and now has a chance to boost another contender.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on October 13, 2023, 09:50:25 AMDolphins potentially, given Achane suffered a serious injury.
Chiefs could easily justify it as they lack playmakers in general right now.
All of the AFC North teams (in particular the Browns and Ravens) make sense, particularly if they win their next couple of games and are clearly in the hunt.
I think there would be substantial interest, especially if the price were just simply a 5th rounder (or even a 4th). You get a high level playmaker and have no obligation beyond this year. For someone who is thinking Super Bowl this season, that's pretty enticing.
