Giants Wire
The New York Giants somehow managed to reach a new low on Sunday in Germany, falling to the Carolina Panthers, 20-17, in humiliating overtime fashion.
Whenever we think the Giants have hit rock bottom, they find new and inventive ways to prove there could also be worse.
Truth be told, we’re out of words at this point. We’ve recycled the same post-loss talking points for years and through multiple regimes, and it all just sounds like a broken record. Poor personnel handling, bad play-calling, bad coaching, poor execution, blah, blah, blah…
Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ Week 10 loss.
Offensive snaps: 75
Defensive snaps: 60
Special teams snaps: 30
Quarterback Daniel Jones took 100 percent of the offensive snaps and that’s only noteworthy because under no circumstances should that have been the case. Head coach Brian Daboll should have benched him in the second quarter but admitted after the game he didn’t give it any consideration. Astonishing.
In his return to the starting role, right tackle Evan Neal also took 100 percent of the offensive snaps and unlike Jones, played exceptionally well. Who’d ever expect to read those words?
With Jason Pinnock out, safety Dane Belton took 100 percent of the defensive snaps alongside Tyler Nubin but only one of them played up to snuff. We’ll let you guess which one (hint: it wasn’t Belton).
