Welcome back.

It's the Big Blue Banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier. Join as always my co-s, Nick Falado. No, I have not yet updated my refrigerator scoreboard. It's still 2 and 8. The Giants are officially 2 and 9, Nick. But I thought maybe we'd open this show after another loss for the Giants, the first of the Mike Kafka era as interim head coach, with things that I'm thankful for. And you can maybe add to this on things that you're thankful for because it is November 16th. We are very close to Thanksgiving. And I am thankful for the Giants offensive line, Nick. The Giants offensive line played its best game of the season in its toughest matchup, both in Bass Production and the run game.

These are some stats from Doug Analytics. Tyrone Tracy and Devon Singletary average 2.4 yards before contact on inside runs with only one of their attempts hit behind the line of scrimmage per next gen stats.

Before this week, it was just 0.7 before contact and 48%

were hit behind line so they had their best run blocking game of the year they ran the ball 38 times

with a nipay of 0.075 since 2000 teams that had 38 rushes and at least 0.025 are 30, 32 and 14 with a 96% win percentage.

The Giants were one of the 4% today.

So I did joke around there.

I said it was going to be things we're thankful for and then I mixed in something sad.

So you're telling me, the New York Giants in 2025 found another innovative way to lose football games

and to not maximize the statistics that they do have to their advantage.

But now to your point, to your point, dad, the Giants offensive line, dare I say commanded,

commanded, commanded on the line of scrimmage dictated to the to the defense a good

defense defense that stifled the Philadelphia Eagles right I mean to a loss but um as we know the

giants struggle to finish they blew another fourth quarter lead albeit this one was like one
