Game 10 Preview - Giants
(2-7) - Panthers (2-7) Nov 9 The Panthers are coming off of a win, trampling the New Orleans Saints, and might have another upset in them if quarterback Bryce Young continues to look better than he had earlier in the year. What has to go right for New York to return stateside with a victory? Nov 8 The Giants will look to break a four-game losing streak on a continent where they are undefeated. For the fourth time in franchise history and second time in three seasons, the Giants will play a regular-season game in Europe. The previous three all took place in London and resulted in victories, including a trip in Brian Daboll's inaugural 2022 season as head coach. This time, they will face the Panthers at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Nov 7 Why the Panthers extended running back Chuba Hubbard's contract. In the athletic training room before dawn, getting his body ready. As in, on the field three hours before kickoff every game day, catching balls from the Jugs machine in those lonely moments when he's the only player on the field. As in, an hour after every practice, going through his normal routine with his partner Tommy Tremble long after everyone else is eating lunch. As in, leaving in the dark again after putting in more than a shift. In short, Chuba Hubbard works the way they want them all to work. Nov
6 Special
Report - It's time for some difficult questions, even if they don't have immediate
answers. And it's also time - perhaps long past time - for the powers that (should)
be to start to make major changes. Is it GM Joe Schoen's fault for allowing running
back Saquon Barkley to skip off to the Eagles? He negotiated (or refused to negotiate)
the contract that Barkley wanted so badly, and at the moment he is threatening
to become the NFC's Offensive Player of the Year. Nov 5 Panthers head coach Dave Canales wasn't ready to name a starting quarterback for the Giants game. As Andy Dalton continues to improve from a sprained thumb and Bryce Young is coming off a win against the Saints, the Panthers are in a more enviable position than they were the previous two times quarterback changes were made this season. As to not naming much less announcing a starter on Monday, Canales admitted some of it is gamesmanship, and some of it is simply not having an answer yet. Nov 5 Giants' defensive leaders send blunt message after latest loss to Commander. Brian Burns didn't hold back, calling for team maturity and an end to self-inflicted errors that continue to define their 2-7 season. While the Giants came close to a comeback against Washington, mounting a late rally, their mistakes were still glaring. Missed tackles, blown coverages, and questionable decisions in critical moments left fans wondering if this team can learn from its mistakes.

(2-6) - Washington (6-2) Nov 2 The Giants, who lost their game in Washington largely because they had no kicker, today declared Greg Joseph out of the rematch against the Commanders on Sunday with an abdominal injury. The news was revealed in the Giants post-practice injury report. Nov 1 Facing a quick turnaround, the Giants will look to snap their three-game losing streak when they take on the Commanders at MetLife Stadium. The Giants went to Pittsburgh for a matchup against the Steelers on Monday Night Football this past week. Despite some flashes on both sides of the ball, the Giants wound up falling to the AFC North opponent, 26-18. Here are five players to watch in the Week 9 divisional matchup. Oct 31 Quarterback Daniel Jones has been benched already this season, he isn't playing his best football and the New York Giants are in last place in the NFC East. He's "frustrated" with how this season has gone. The results are going to need to come soon for Jones. His status as the Giants' starter already feels shaky considering the team tried to trade up in the draft for his replacement earlier this year and he was sent to the bench in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles two weeks ago. Oct 30 The Commanders look to sweep the season series against their NFC East rivals for the first time since 2021. Once upon a time, the New York Giants used to have the Washington Commanders' number. Some might argue that it's still true, given that the Giants were just a healthy kicker away from beating the Commanders in their Week 2 game at Northwest Stadium.

(2-5) - Pittsburgh (5-2) Oct 27 Ten things to watch on Monday Night Football. While the offense's struggles can be credited to several areas, two in particular have stood out - the unit's lack of explosive plays and their struggles on third down. In Week 6, the Giants' longest play of the game was 15 yards. The following week, their longest play went for just 14 yards. It's difficult to win games without the threat of big play, and it's even harder when struggling to sustain drives. Oct 26 Things haven't exactly lined up very well for the Giants, whose offense has struggled for most of the season. They unofficially have 20 drops (second-most in the NFL) and must head into a very hostile environment to take on the defensive-oriented Steelers. Do they have to rely on their defense to keep them in the game once again? Oct 25 This week, New York Giants co-owner John Mara committed to general manager Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll despite their second 2-5 start in as many years. Most new general managers and coaches concentrate on beating the teams they need to beat to win their division. In the Giants' case that would be the NFC East rivals: Dallas, Philadelphia, and Washington. Since Schoen and Daboll took over the Giants are 0-5 against Dallas, 1-5 (including playoffs) versus Philly, and 3-1-1 against Washington but lost their first game versus them this season with Jayden Daniels under center and Dan Quinn as the head coach. Oct 24 John Mara expressed dissatisfaction about the Giants' early season record Wednesday night but said he remains strongly supportive of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. "Obviously, we're all very disappointed with where we are right now," Mara said. "But I'm going to say one thing, we are not making any changes this season, and I do not anticipate making any changes in the offseason, either." The Giants are 2-5 as they prepare to face the Steelers on Monday night in Pittsburgh. That start has led to media speculation about the job security of Schoen and Daboll, who are in their third season in their present positions. Oct 23 New York Giants lost star left tackle Andrew Thomas to a foot injury during their Week 6 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. New York gave Josh Ezeudu the first opportunity at left tackle rather than putting former seventh-overall pick Evan Neal in the lineup. Ezeudu started five games in 2023 for the Giants at left tackle before suffering his own foot injury that sidelined him for the season. Ezeudu has an insufficient track record at tackle. Initially drafted as a guard, he had some solid snaps inside as a rookie, but the Giants appreciate his foot quickness and versatility. They are giving him another opportunity at tackle, which was rough against the Eagles. Oct 22 Brian Daboll reaffirmed his commitment to Daniel Jones as the Giants' starting quarterback but was not as committed to keeping Josh Ezeudu at left tackle. Those were the most significant personnel questions Daboll addressed Monday in his virtual news conference, one day after a difficult 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in MetLife Stadium.

(2-4) - Eagles (3-2) Oct 19 A look at the officiating crew assigned to Giants-Eagles week 7 game. Here's everything you need to know about the officiating crew assigned to the Giants' Week 7 game. Oct 18 Ex-Vikings Starter Signs with Giants. Back in 2021, Armon Watts started for the Minnesota Vikings. Now, the veteran defensive tackle will try the New York Giants' practice squad on for size. And somewhat ironically for Vikings fans, the Giants released former Vikings cornerback Duke Shelley to make room for Watts. Oct 17 Brian Daboll announced that Andrew Thomas - the Giants' five-year left tackle, three-time captain, and 2022 second-team All-Pro - will miss the remainder of the 2024 season because of a Lisfranc injury he suffered Sunday night. He was hurt in the fourth quarter of the team's 17-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Though he finished the game, Thomas was clearly in pain. He underwent surgery and was placed on injured reserve, leaving the Giants a roster spot to fill. Oct 16 Giants' Andrew Thomas expected to undergo season-ending surgery. Thomas is considering all his options, but he may have no other choice than to spend the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign in recovery. The devastating setback would severely hamper the offense and possibly put inconsistent quarterback Daniel Jones under great duress. Oct 15 Special
Report - There are all kinds of ways to lose a game, and last night the Giants
apparently found all of them. They out-played the Cincinnati Bengals in most categories
yet somehow came out on the wrong end of a 17-7 score, reducing their record to
2-4 for the season. There were all sorts of mysterious events, including head
coach Brian Daboll's sudden attraction to fourth down plays, learning that while
they may work occasionally, continuing to visit that trap will ultimately lead
to chaos. [
