Mistakes cost Giants dearly in loss to Commanders | Blue Rush

Paul Schwartz, The Post's Giants beat writer, joins New York Post Sports anchor (and Super Bowl XLII champion) Brandon London to break down Big Blue’s defensive woes, why the team didn’t have an emergency kicker ready after Graham Gano was added to the injury report earlier in the weekend and the state of New York’s offense.

Jalin Hyatt is the latest example of a talented player who cant get touches under Daboll.

[@KeeKeeSoto]

💯

[@mr.johnson8099]

Under Daniel Jones......

[@earlevans3475]

Giants are the NFLs punching bag

[@AnthonyArgyros]

The next 6 games are going to be really bad

[@dennis2782]

DC Fan NO WAY Giants are the worst team ..Panthers still have that Title.. NY is where we were.......As a Fan do you want to win 6-7 Games and get 8 to 12 Draft pick or just say FU*k it and get best QB? 2025 Arch Manning Go 0-17 hahahaha

[@darrylds]

Narrative is that Giants just lost the game, Giants were lucky they were even close in that game. Commanders on first play of the game took kickoff to house, and a hold behind the play got the play reversed. Commanders had four false start penalties in Redzone, on 4th and inches at the 2. Commanders didn't punt and had the ball entire game.

[@jamesstiepan8222]

A C Plus for that defensive performance is insanity

[@dons2318]

Wheres my friend Lawrence Tynes ?

[@powerbook76]

good for Naber's taking ownership of his mistake. Now it'd be nice if the head coach take ownership as well.

[@aaarauz1]

He just needs to get out of town. Daboll is not the guy.

[@marcusmiller7138]

Crazy. That the rookie who was the best player is catching any heat. Where were Slayton hands on that 2pt conversion?

[@humanbeing2420]

The head coach is an a-hole.

[@Observe555]

Time of possession was the big problem enabled by the Giant’s defense.

[@willbutler2639]

Exactly it would’ve been a blow out if Dan Quinn had some balls and went for it on 4th down in the red zone. In the first half the giants didn’t move the ball at all so if Washington missed the 4th down attempt the giants are deep in their own territory and they haven’t moved the ball all game… Washington scored on every single drive and Washington stopped their selves with penalties 4 times inside the 10 yard line

[@efrainnegron9918]

Slayton is a vet...he let us down too.

[@analysis1957]

How about the other players not named Nabers on the team make a play or 2 to help out, especially on defense.

[@humanbeing2420]

None of Daboll's decisions vis a vis the kicking game made any sense at all. Not activating a backup kicker was idiotic and wrong. Not having Gillan handle all of the kickoffs was idiotic and wrong. Not having Gillan practice FG kicks pre-game was idiotic and wrong. And then ditching the kicking game entirely after Gillan missed a PA wide was idiotic and wrong. If he is not deliberately tanking by agreement with Shoen and Mara then he's the laziest, dumbest head coach in modern NFL history.

[@gabrielduran1665]

These guys don’t know what they are talking about commander’s should have won by a lot more giants were lucky it was that close only reason commanders didn’t get a touchdown is because of penalties shooting themselves in the foot commanders played better and offense held the ball most of the game giants couldn’t get them off the field

[@joerusso4417]

daboll has given up. turn the page. the giants have had only 2 good coaches in 50 years. parcells and coughlin. that's it. the rest aren't even close. if the giants lose out can this group pick the right qb and team. i doubt it.

[@humanbeing2420]

Dan Reeves and Jim Fassell were both good head coaches. Reeves almost got them to an NFC Championship game. Fassell got them to a Super Bowl.

[@hisuiangengar8169]

Daboll hasn’t been impressing AT ALL!!! But I love it when people tell Jordan Ranan off, even Kayvon was sick of his crap 😂

[@rubensanabria1018]

I agree with the fact that Malik Nabers may have been gassed by the end of the game. I travelled to Northwest Stadium to watch the game on Sunday and I must say it was very hot out there. Nabers may have been gassed from the amount of work he put in and the heat.

[@athens_1psvr31]

Satisfied with satisfactory. A better performance by Jones and still graded a “C”. Again the coaches made Jones go deep and to Nabers. He couldn’t connect on one deep ball. Still lacking touch and accuracy.

[@Mike-b4h]

Brian Faboll , Joe Shame, Danny Pennies and John (I don't know what I'm doing as an owner)Mara should be fired and never be allowed inside MetLife stadium ever again

[@Mike-b4h]

The Giants defense is the sorriest looking defense in the NFL hands down

[@lawrencetynes2385]

Great job guys!

[@kubixxx1]

1-12-1 worst Giants record of all time in 1966. Can this seasons team make history and beat that?!?!

[@tkelong3569]

We may not win a single game until like week 12 or something. I hope we lose every game. How else are we going to take Arch Manning from the draft board and into Giants blue? We need to win no more than 3 games and we are currently on the right trajectory to see that 3-14 record come to fruition. Don’t worry Giants fans, our pain and struggles will noT endure! This is our last horrible season for a long long time to come. Within 4 years time we’ll be in contention to win the Super Bowl. Can’t you just hear Bob Papa, ‘Manning drops back, he’s got Nabers wide open down the middle, he makes the catch! He’s at the 40 yard line, the 20, 10, the 5, ToUChDowN Giants!! Giants score on a 70 yard strike from Arch Manning to Malik Nabers!! And MetLife Stadium is roCkinG!!’ 🏟️ Let’s GOoOo!!! 😤😡

[@RobertMarchisello]

Giants need to blitz more because they can’t get close to quarterback there front 4get pushed around

[@azman73681]

Daboll looks tired & fed up. I think he'll be glad if he's replaced at the end of the season. Ny media always ask stupid annoying repetitive questions

[@damienlahoz]

Jones is so one dimensional, im hard pressed to blame Daboll on the kind of game he calls with Jones out there. Daboll deserves blame for many other things for sure but Bill Walsh couldnt turn Jones into a processor.

[@onceaknickalwaysaknick2750]

Giants need a real offense play caller that will spread the ball around

[@theodoremorehouse6460]

Yup. The okay calling is predictable. And other teams know the giants feel they have only one weapon. Does Daboll ever watch the KC chiefs and how they use their tight end? It is so demoralizing that our coach is limited

[@jorgenavarro9513]

This guy think the Giants defense was so good because the Skins did not scored a TD but the reality is the game should end 30-18 if Washington did not committed 5 false start in the red zone.

[@user-yw5ky9ru8y]

Any other GM in the league would not have had Gano come back for this year

[@efrainnegron9918]

ZERO DEFENSE!!!

[@JUDALATION]

This narrative is CRAZY... the Commanders should have blown out the Giants but keep false starting in the red zone... When the Commanders get better coached they will be way better than the Giants.

[@Chalk89]

That works both ways. What if Devin Singletary doesn't fumble. What if Graham Gano doesn't get hurt. What if the Giants don't get called for defensive holding on a sack? What if Malik Nabers doesn't miss the easy catch? What if Darius Slayton doesn't drop the 2-point conversion?

[@million8739]

​@Chalk89 No what ifs in the NFL a win is a win. A loss is a loss move on get better. Nabers is yall offense be optimistic.

[@cmack7281]

They already got a way better quarterback.

[@jerricktaylor9075]

Yo! Seven possessions within the 15 yard line =49 points if executed. The best Team still won the game lol....

[@Chalk89]

@@million8739 I’m not a what if type of guy, I’m simply responding to the guy who pretended that this game should’ve been a blowout.

[@ChinChecker22]

Where's LT

[@douglasmarinelli956]

How about Slayton dropping 2 point conversion

[@theodoremorehouse6460]

The offense can only “put up points” if they have the ball. If you never force the other team to punt, or force a turnover, the offense can’t score. The defense was awful. Not a C or C+

[@ElGatofoo]

I know this dude ain’t a real former WR if he didn’t want the ball 18 times

and playing the right players! Nubin got smoked and Belton should have been in. I don't get it! There are so many other good players experiencing the same treatment. Good bye Daboll! !!!

They didn't call play all they sell like runging they lost confidence tight end that slayton not easy call had belenger out correct

[@michaelkeating4454]

Defense gets an 'F'. Bend and don't break NEVER WORKS!! You tire out your defense! How about playing red zone defense on the opponents side of the field??????!!! Why wait till they get to our red zone!! Tired of this team and the stupid defensive philosophy that NEVER WORKS!! Need to go into a game with a mentality of shutting out the other team and not giving up many yards and points!! Need to understand our offense is not going to score a ton of points.
