The New Jersey Giants have won 2 of 12 games. The Saints have won 4 of 12. Not exactly a stellar record for either team. It matters little whether the Giants play Mr. Rodgers or Mr. Taylor. Or, for that matter, the young kid they have in reserve, if he's healthy.

For the Giants to have a chance, they will have to compensate for the pitiful play of the offensive line. If the opponents don't come right through the line they slip around it and attack from the rear. Sacks occur far too often.

What to do? Go back to Joe Namath and the Super Bowl. In the first half he got rid of the ball in 2-3 seconds time after time. Little short passes for 3-5 yards get the dog walked just as well as those long range bombs. Unless the opponent's defense is lightning quick (the Saints?) a quick release passing game can pick the defense apart.

Chances are, though, that this will not obtain. Neither will a win.

Go, Big Blue!

I agree. With both Tackles out, Daboll called a lot of long routes. He needs to go back to Shallow Mesh and Shallow Crossers with a Flat route or check down, and reads on one side with an opposite field screen. He also should give Lock or Tommy some Zone Reads that he gave Jones. And some high/low options. The opportunities for deep strikes should come off Play Action after establishing a Run Game. If they can't run the ball, the QB will be blitzed to death.
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

The Giants have the worst offense in the NFL and it's not getting better. 

As for the Saints game, the Giants have one of the leagues worst run defenses and just lost Dexter Lawrence.  Alvin Kamarra is licking his chops. 

The Saints are still playing hard and are in a division they could still win theoretically. 

The Giants are mailing it in and completely out of it.
