Last year—the New York Giants finished 31st in scoring.

Touchdowns were scarce.

Even last week, Week 1 of the year, a fresh start—the Giants were touchdown-less.

You have a better chance of waking up next to Charlize Theron than you do of seeing the New York Giants score touchdowns.

Until they went to Dallas and got into a 77-point overtime slugfest with the Cowboys.

New York lost in OT—because of course they did—but this was the most electric the offense has looked since I owned an iPod.

The Giants let Russell Wilson cook….

Russell Wilson wins the game (and then loses it)

Russell Wilson looked ready for retirement in the Giants Week 1 6-21 loss to the Washington Commanders.

I was ready to chain myself to the goal post—protesting until Jaxson Dart was named the new starter.

Daniel Jones debuted in Indianapolis—erasing all Colts fans’ interest in seeing Anthony Richardson play again—while Russell Wilson played like he was trying to throw a medicine ball down the field.

The Giants season imploded before it started.

But Russell Wilson got off the plane and decided to have the best game of his career.

Here’s what Russell Wilson did against the Cowboys little league secondary:

  • 30-for-41 (73%)
  • 450 passing yards
  • 3 touchdowns
  • 123 passer rating

With the Giants down 34-30 and less than 50 seconds on the clock—Russ had a 15-yard scramble up the middle to keep the Giants alive.

Immediately followed by a 50-yard bomb to Malik Nabers to take the lead.

Anddddd then Russell Wilson threw the game-losing interception—because I’m a Giants fan and I can only feel pain.

I deserve this. I stole bubble gum from a 7 Eleven when I was 6—and I shall be punished the remainder of my life.

Malik Nabers is the GOAT

Odell Beckham Jr had cool hair and made one-handed catches—but ultimately, he was an overrated, undersized, inside-slant merchant—with main character syndrome and paper machete ankles.

Malik Nabers has all the tools to be one of the greatest to ever play.

His size gives him an advantage over every corner.

He’s a skilled route runner and, for the most part, Malik has reliable hands.

That first touchdown reception—tracking the ball after getting slapped in the helmet, landing on his back—is one of the most impressive plays I’ve seen a Giants receiver ever make.

Let us pray it doesn’t end up on the cover of Madden— turning him into a celebrity, sitting down with Lil Wayne for a Fox pre-show interview where he complains about his starting quarterback.

Keep Malik Nabers away from any and all kicking nets.

I want the Giants organization to monitor his debit card.

He should have a clause in his contract that voids his deal if he purchases blonde hair dye.

James Hudson deserves a night in jail

On the first drive of the game—left tackle James Hudson was determined to fuck up.

Hudson committed 4 penalties—twice for unnecessary roughness and twice for false starts.

He literally swung on a dude, unprovoked.

At one point, Brian Daboll tried to get him off the field but allowed Hudson to finish the drive.

He committed an additional false start before being yanked for the remainder of the game.

Not only did he mentally collapse on the field—but this maniac had the audacity to scream at his coaches for benching him.

I don’t believe a civilized society jails its citizens—especially for non-violent crimes.

But I am absolutely campaigning for James Hudson to spend at least one night in prison after the way he behaved today.

We need to put this man in handcuffs before the demons in his ear tell him to burn down an orphanage or some shit.

James Hudson needs a night in a cell and a mandatory visit with a therapist.

This man is sick.

Fire everyone

14 penalties worth 160 yards is absurd.

A total abandonment of focus and attention to detail.

A free-for-all.

Every man for himself.

Well-coached teams do not hand opposing teams automatic first downs all game long with nonstop mental lapses.

Brian Daboll is a loser.

He is drowning in the responsibility of running a ball club.

He’s a coordinator.

He is not a leader.

Why was Jaxson Dart in this game at all?

At first, Jaxson Dart came in on a gadget running play to throw off the Cowboys defense—leading to a big run by Cam Skattebo down to the 1-yard line—setting up a Skattebo 1-yard run up the middle.

Cool.

But then Daboll put Dart back out there again—in the middle of Russ’s best game—for another hand off that led to nothing.

And in the final drive, with Russ on a heater—moments from a huge game-winning drive—Daboll took Wilson out for a shitty Jaxson Dart run.

Jaxson tripped over his own feet for -3 yards.

I understand Daboll attempting to give his rookie QB some reps—especially knowing Daboll’s future with the team depends on grooming Dart into the next franchise QB.

But you know what’s more important?

Not destroying the kid’s confidence by having him rush onto the field last minute to fall on his face 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

What are we doing?

Do you think Jaxson Dart feels good about his performance today?

Do you think throwing Dart in the middle of a back-and-forth slug match to just hand the ball off makes him feel confident about his game?

Just let him fucking sit and learn.

Jordan Love sat for 3 years behind Aaron Rodgers.

He’s fine.

Jaxson Dart should not even have a helmet on.

Oh, and get defensive coordinator Shane Bowen off this sideline, too.

Dak Prescott was allowed to do whatever he wanted because of Bowen’s weird defensive scheme that essentially allows opposing teams to do whatever they want.

He sits the safeties so far back to “keep everything in front of them”—sooo the entire field is wide open.

Bowen has the most talented pass rushers in the NFL and wastes them with simple 4-man rush schemes.

Zero creativity.

Abdul Carter came into the NFL looking like the next Michael Strahan—and he is either left on an island to fight off multiple offensive linemen on his own—or, like last week—Abdul Carter is asked to be a QB spy—standing up watching Jayden Daniels instead of using his freakish athleticism to, ya know, rush him.

At the end of regulation, the Cowboys had 20 seconds to get from their 33-yard line to field goal range—and Shane Bowen decided to have his secondary sit back like they were trying to stop a fucking Hail Mary—instead of up, pressing the receivers and actually challenging Dak Prescott.

Brian Daboll and his coaching staff of losers need to be fired.

Turns out, a coaching staff with 3 wins last season—sucks.
