On Sunday Cheap Jon Halapio Jersey , with a beleaguered head coach and a chance to rescue a season about to go off the rails against a bad Buffalo Bills team using its fourth starting quarterback, the New York Jets embarrassed themselves. They were never competitive, never seemed remotely interested in doing more than getting the game over with, and lost an astoundingly lopsided 41-10 game.On Monday night, at 1-7 and with any chance of playing games that had meaning for the 2018 season having vanished long ago, the New York Giants could have simply gone through the motions. They could have just crumpled and figured this was another lost cause in a lost year, especially when the San Francisco 49ers went ahead 20-10 midway through the third quarter.That, however, isn¡¯t what happened. Led by an imperfect and beleaguered in his own right 37-year-old quarterback fighting to maintain his job and his dignity in the midst of a second straight disastrous season http://www.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-connor-barwin-je
rsey , the Giants fought back. They overcame that 10-point deficit. They got a game-winning drive from Eli Manning, albeit one helped by a pair of San Francisco penalties. They hung on with the 49ers reaching the Giants¡¯ 21-yard line before Nick Mullens¡¯ game-ending pass sailed out of the back of the end zone.They won a game, beating the 49ers 27-23 on Monday Night Football.¡°We made progress tonight,¡± head coach Pat Shurmur said. ¡°As we go along here we¡¯re going to have more victories. They¡¯re going to always be hard fought. This team fights hard.¡±The Giants made progress. Isn¡¯t that the point? Isn¡¯t that what¡¯s important? They entered the game having won only four times in their last 24 outings.For starters, they won. Sorry to disagree with those who were hoping the Giants would lose out, go 1-15, and get the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. They still might get that No. 1 pick, but the view here is there is never anything wrong with winning. You remember this, right?The Giants won the game because they did many of the things they were unable to do throughout the first eight games.They protected Manning as he was sacked only once. Progress.The quarterback responded by going 19-of-31 and throwing three touchdowns. He climbed the pocket beautifully on a 10-yard touchdown pass to Odell Beckham Jr. in the first half. He underthrew a deep shot to Beckham in the fourth quarter Cheap Will Hernandez Jersey , but given a chance by the line he kept taking his shots. Progress. The Giants created a couple of turnovers, with linebacker B.J. Goodson snagging a pair of deflected passes. Progress.They got an excellent game from rookie linebacker Lorenzo Carter, probably his best as a pro. Progress.They may have found a couple of useful players. Corey Coleman had a 51-yard kickoff return and a key third down catch for a first down. Guard Jamon Brown wasn¡¯t perfect, but he threw a critical block on Manning¡¯s first touchdown pass and his play offered reason for optimism. Progress.The Giants, 31st in the league in the red zone, got touchdowns on two of their four trips inside San Francisco¡¯s 20-yard line. They got field goals on the other trips, so they ended up with points on all four occasions. They did miss an opportunity when they chose to run on third-and-goal from the 3-yard line despite Beckham appearing to be uncovered. Not perfect, but progress.Shurmur¡¯s play-calling showed progress. More use of fullback Elijhaa Penny, including two pass receptions. A season- and career-high 20 carries for Saquon Barkley Cheap Eli Manning Jersey , many probing the edges. Some vertical passing in the second half that included using Barkley and tight end Evan Engram down the field. Something that can¡¯t be overlooked is that the Giants played hard for Shurmur. At this point a year ago, players were getting suspended and the locker room was fracturing. The team was coming apart. The fact that that hasn¡¯t happened this season, and that they fought back on Monday rather than folding their tents and figuring the outcome didn¡¯t matter because the season was already lost, was something fans should feel good about. Again, it¡¯s progress.Manning leading a game-winning drive, the 36th of his career and maybe the last one we will ever see from the best quarterback in franchise history, was a feel-good moment. It is also probably what most of the headlines will focus on.What was really important, though, was that the Giants made progress.That http://www.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-riley-dixon-jers
ey , really, was the best thing that happened on Monday night. The New York Giants crossed the 30-point threshold last week vs. the Carolina Panthers for the first time in 38 games, including their 2016 playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers. That was a good step, but if the Giants are going to play consistently good offense they are going to have to find a way to limit the incredibly high number of negative plays they have been enduring.Against the Carolina Panthers the Giants had six negative runs in 15 attempts, four offensive penalties and a sack. That¡¯s 11 negative plays in 60 potential snaps.For the season, the Giants now have 60 negative plays in 339 potential snaps ¡ª 17.6 percent. Here¡¯s the breakdown:Sacks ¡ª 16Negative runs ¡ª 20Negative passes ¡ª 4Offensive penalties ¡ª 20The Giants, in fact, have league¡¯s highest percentage of negative running plays.It¡¯s hard to generate consistent offense, and score enough points Cheap Sterling Shepard Jersey , when one of every 5.7 plays goes backwards.Cool charts that tell a storyThe first two are from SB Nation¡¯s Bill Connelly. The last one by BBV¡¯s Joe DeLeone.Other numbers that matter345 ¡ª Eli Manning (345) needs 5 touchdown passes to become the seventh player to reach 350 in NFL history. In Week 4, Manning surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton (342) for 7th most touchdown passes all-time. 114 ¡ª Odell Beckham Jr. (4,886) needs 114 receiving yards to reach 5,000 receiving yards in his career.23 ¡ª Beckham (22) needs one 100-yard receiving game to pass Amani Toomer (22) for most 100-yard receiving games in franchise history. 6 ¡ª With 100 scrimmage yards in Week 6, Saquon Barkley (5) would join Kareem Hunt (7) as the only players in NFL history with at least 100 scrimmage yards in the first six games of their careers.4-4 ¡ª The Giants¡¯ won-loss record on Thursday Night Football.51 ¡ª The number of passing touchdowns Manning has against the Eagles, more than against any other team.120.6 ¡ª Manning¡¯s league-best passer rating on third down this season.71.7 ¡ª Manning¡¯s 2018 completion percentage, third in the league behind Drew Brees (75. and Jared Goff (73.2).68 ¡ª The jersey number new Giants¡¯ offensive tackle Brian Mihalik will wear.5.2 ¡ª The number of penalties per game averaged by the Giants, tying them with the Tennessee Titans for fewest in the league.
