Final thoughts on the Giants 34-27 Week 6 loss to the Saints: •The Giants run game was basically non-existent against the 30th ranked run defense in the NFL. Taking the ball out of Cam Skattebo’s hands seemed to disrupt the flow of the Giants offense and run game. •If the Giants don’t trust Cam Skattebo as the RB1 moving forward, they might need to call around the league and see what RB’s are available. It seems like John Harbaugh doesn’t have much faith in the current RB room as is. •The Giants leading rusher: J.J. McCarthy; 2 rushes for 26 yards. •Too many missed tackles. Too many penalties. Sloppy game by the Giants against a 1-4 team. •The Giants seemed to be fine at 10-3 before the kickoff return fumble by Charlie Jones. After that, the Giants completely fell apart until the 4th quarter. •The Jameis Winston experience as a starter really might be over. •The Giants got J.J. McCarthy in to see what he can do. After an interception, McCarthy breathed some life into the Giants offense, threw for 243 yards with a touchdown and almost completed the comeback against New Orleans after being down 34-10 at one point. •J.J. McCarthy starting next week vs the Texans? Wouldn’t blame the Giants if they went to McCarthy following that performance. •In the lone quarter McCarthy played, he seemed to get out of the pocket much better than Winston did and because he did, it lead to some of the big pass plays completed by McCarthy that might not have happened with Winston. •3 straight games with over 100 yards for Malik Nabers; 12 catches for 165 yards; an outstanding game for Nabers. Nabers sure seems like he’s back to his old self and looks great. •Isaiah Likely with an almost 100-yard game; 6 catches, 99 yards and a TD. Likely has become a dependable asset in the Giants offense and came close to hauling in the game-tying catch. •No sacks on Tyler Shough. The Giants pass rush had some pressure on Shough, but they never brought him down. •The Giants defense really misses Brian Burns. Kayvon Thibodeaux just isn’t producing. The only time his name was called was for a personal foul over making a play on defense. •The Giants defense struggled to stop the run. They allowed 175 yards on the ground and 4.6 yards per carry. •After a rough day trying to kick in the rain, Dominic Zvada seems to be back to himself again, making his next 2 field goals and getting back on track. •Despite not winning the last two games, the Giants will head into Week 7 still in first place of the NFC East. If the Cowboys lose, the Giants are up 2 games in the loss column over the Cowboys and Eagles. •In years past, the Giants probably don’t make it a game after trailing 34-10. But under John Harbaugh, the Giants didn’t quit and made an effort to try and comeback. Part of it was putting in J.J. McCarthy, who gave the Giants different energy and breathed some life back. But ultimately, the Giants buried themselves too deep with the 34-10 deficit. •The Giants will be looking for their first win on the road vs the Texans, who are coming off a win in London vs the Jaguars. They’ll definitely need a better game plan than what they had vs the Saints.
