Chicago QBs getting sacked had been a problem in the past. The fact that it's happening again tells me there's a deeper issue. Maybe the line is bad and/or the offensive scheme is getting their QBs killed. Whatever the case, this is how you ruin your rookie QBs. This is how they pick up bad habits and lose their confidence.

Just took a peek at some stats... Caleb Williams - 16/30 120 Yards, 9 sacks! All that investment on offense and they do worse than us? What is going on?

Jacksonville D blows it with a silly penalty for the L.

Denver's GW kick got blocked. Of course it did.

Second week in our row our defense had stretches of looking like an actual defense. And the turnovers, those were impressive. Tipped pass INT, juggling a slightly behind throw INT and then a peanut punch fumble that decided the game. - Chuba, obviously. - Numbers aren't explosive in the slightest but Bryce did have some good throws, avoided any major mistakes and some of his bad habits like scrambling out of the pocket prematurely and taking unnecessary sacks were not really there. Going back to Dalton feels more like a sideways move now, especially how awful Dalton fell off. - Legette and Coker co-leaders iin receptions. They both did have a bad drop but then again, they are both rookies. Even if BY doesn't work out, these kids aren't going anywhere for a while. - Eddy P didn't Gano the game-winner.

Denver up 14-3 against KC? Oh, but there's a flag. Of course the refs will try to bail out the Chiefs.

If you're going to be fired and left behind, drowning your sorrows in Munich doesn't sound as bad.

Well, he got an early sack but only because we decided calling a rollout to his side was a good idea. A hit, maybe and... oh, he got hurt on one play. Revenge denied.

I keep saying it but Canales gets too cute sometimes, especially when working with a QB who's trying to regain his confidence and who is throwing to mostly rookies who are going to flash but also be inconsistent with drops and routes. That said, from what I see on the field and on the sidelines, the overall team mood seems a lot better. They know they aren't very good right now, but it's not like it's a funeral either.

Other than the Chuba fumble, offense didn't have any major screwups. Considering the Giants pass rush, we mostly kept to we should be doing most weeks. But this was a massive W for our much maligned defense. Yes, bad opponent, but they didn't get gashed on every single drive. They had pressures, run stops and most importantly, turnovers. And the last one wasn't a gimme. It was punched out. The D earned that one. Canales has a difficult job trying to build a winning culture with what little he has. The few chances he has to build up the confidence of a lot of the young players we have, he needs to take advantage. The win may not help our draft position but it helps him in keeping the team together. And finally, snice the team's on a bye next week, this was essentially the closest game to my birthday. Of course I'll accept the W, even if the cake is a bit of a mess.

Can't tell if Coker got slowed but yeah definite contact.

Run. The. Ball.

I was going to praise the defense but then they gave up a 96 yard drive.

Those penalties would've doomed us before, but great recovery. Can defense actually hold up, however?

Did not have our defense pitting a shutout for the first half on my bingo card.

What is this defense?

Gano giving us a solid. What a guy.

Great drive but let's see if we can a few more going.

For all we know, there are more "Fire Daboll" Giants fans cheering for the Panthers than all of us combined.

Proven player, not a huge amount of guaranteed money and if Brooks can contribute, then limits wear and tear and lowers risk of injury, so we can get the best out of him. Compared to all the other contracts we've done here and others across the league recently, this seems more of the routine run-of-the-mill variety.

This is likely a loss. Just look at the stats of their last game; 26 pass attempts versus 31 runs. Daboll knows well enough not to put everything on Daniel Jones. They'll likely stick to that ratio and only have Jones throw a safe pass or two along with a scramble. A big factor with the Saints is that we somehow found a way to stop their first two drives from being touchdowns, and even forced a three and out or two. That's going to be really hard to replicate, and regardless of QB, we just lack enough offensive power to get into a shootout, especially with our O-line not at full strength. I kinda expect our line to utter collapse and Canales utterly refusing to not go pass happy against a defense much more suseptible to the run. But hey, I'd like to be proven wrong. Maybe Canales will decide to throw Brooks out there for his debut and we end up with the reincarnation of Double Trouble. If we somehow win, that's my guess on how.

I just find it baffling that the Cowboys would even consider this trade in the first place. All the yapping from Jerry about going "all in" in the offseason and they didn't go after someone like Derrick Henry. Then they play bad football while the Eagles and Commanders are well ahead of them in the NFC East. Finally, they may not have Dak for a good while and so all signs point to no playoff run. So now is the time to make a trade? And for a guy that is unlikely to make an immediate impact and for that much compensation? Jerry Jones "All in" = Jonathan Mingo

We already beat the Cowboys and it's not even December yet.

I was more interested in the overall play schemes than anything else. I think Canales sometimes is trying to be too clever with some of these plays when we don't really have the talent to execute with any consistency, especially with the QB carousel, trading away Diontae, the O-line injuries, and the fact our defense all but guarantees a blowout if we don't score on every drive. That said, there is potential there. If that defender on that play Legette got blown up on was rubbed even a little, there was a lot of green grass ahead.

Mayfield knew it was over when they lost the coin toss.
