Welcome back. It's the Big blue banter New York Giants football

podcast. I'm Dan Schneier. joins those. My co-st Nick Vallado. Coming to you after another

Giants loss, I did not update the record back there. What's your second time in the row

missing this, Dan? What's going on here? Well, the bigger issue for me is I'm running out of

banana magnets. I got one den option over there.

I can't use it for both.

That dynasty team is about to go to 11 and 1.

So I will be able to swap in an 11 at some point and then get our record linked up.

But the Giants lost a game where they had another 10 point lead in the fourth quarter.

It's truly amazing how many times this team can lose with a 10 point lead in the fourth quarter in one season. This one, you know, it's like, I think there's such a comedy of events and errors that has to happen for them to lose again like this. But part of it is long touchdown runs on the ground.

Like the Giants were not giving up explosive plays in the past game. Jameson Williams had no regards in this game. He came in so hot to this game, Nick. And I felt like there were some big plays for Amon Ross St. Brown. Like I should take that back. They completed some chunk plays in the second half. But for the most part, this was a game that was won either on the ground via Jemir Gibbs and his 216 yards rushing or through those little like extensions of the run game, those checkdown type passes and those design passes to Gibbs, which again, it's like some of these plays, man, either one, Gibbs is accelerating at a crazy rate. Like you've said that before the show. But then there's also places the Giants just can't tackle, man. It's crazy watching how this is the this defense is, I'll ask you this question, Nick. Is this defense worse than the worst we've seen from the Giants offense throughout the last four years? Probably no, right? No, no, because this defense has star power and this defense has brian burns and this defense this defense plays hard they're just they're not great and they're just not that great and they don't execute at all three levels as we've seen because they were there were plays where they would be able to stifle the run stifle the run come up with a stop you know james winston throws that boneheaded james winston type interception it's

bound to happen and then it was a three and out the defense got them off the field and gave the offense another opportunity but i mean like how many times can we say this we're beating a dead horse there's never any complimentary football the defense cannot fit the run demetris flanagan fouls got her and I'm like, oh no. I'm saying, oh oh, no, when Demetris Flanagan fouls goes down. That's like, that's the level of personnel that the giants are forced to trot out there, but even independent of that, the run fits from a linebacker perspective. It's, it's an absolute disaster on the line of scrimmage. They're losing their double teams and getting blown away. And then the safeties, whether they're playing from depth or even playing closer to the line of scrimmage, they're losing their double teams and getting blown away. And then the safeties,

whether they're playing from depth

or even playing closer to the line of scrimmage,

their angles are not great.

And when you're going up against superior athlete like Jamir Gibbs, he's going to exploit that. And the athletic ability, like Dean Belton's a much more athletic safety, I would say, than like a Tyler Nuban, right?
