Few teams will ever admit the "Suck for ___" campaign is in full swing, but the G-men are currently sitting pretty. While, yes. yada yada Any Given Sunday/Trap Game/etc is always a possibility, something tells me the Giants have little interest dropping out of the top 2 and would very much like to be in the pole position for suckage in the 2020 NFL draft.

Edit: And WTF happened to Saquon Barkley?

Worth noting RE Kevin King.

1. It's Zone Coverage and he has his back to the QB half the time. That's like the one thing you never do. Watch him closely, King sees Kittle and guesses he's hitting the corner route, so he does speed turn (in zone coverage) and completely loses track of him while Kittle runs the post. 

2. He sees Amos (?) break on that intermediate crosser, or at least he's facing him and makes no adjustment.

3. Watch Jaire on the other side, he's facing the QB, bites slightly on the RB coming out of the backfield, in general is reading the QB and paroling his quarter.

The guy has no idea what he's doing. He's not playing disciplined football, he's guessing and he's guessing wrong A LOT. That speed turn into the wrong route is nothing new, he does it frequently and WRs know how to burn him with that. Here it is plain as day:

 This is exactly what they're wanting. JG is looking for either TE the whole way. They got KK to turn his back and as soon as Kittle sees that he adjusts to the post and JG launches it. Yes they suckered the Safety underneath with the crosser, but the play was either going to either spot and Amos (?) broke on what he thought was right. It is a well designed play meant to beat this specific coverage, but King looks absolutely lost.

New York Giants safety Jabrill Peppers is likely to miss time after the team announced he suffered a transverse process fracture in his back on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Wide receiver Golden Tate also was injured in the game, suffering a concussion because of the way he landed on his 23-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter of the 19-14 loss at Chicago.

There was no timetable set on Peppers' return, although the Giants believe it should be this season. It will depend on his pain tolerance.

Peppers was in severe pain after the game Sunday. He said the injury occurred when he was hit on a kickoff return with no time remaining in the first half.

With Tate now in doubt for Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, the Giants face the prospects of another week without their full arsenal. They have not played a game this season with Tate, wide receiver Sterling Shepard, running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram working alongside rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.

Yup, safeties bit hard. Huge mistake when your first responsibility is quarters coverage. "Stop the plane not the train"- LB

Nice play design by horse faces kid. 

Isn't this thread about the upcoming game vs. Giants??

The Red & Mold debacle at the Big Zipper is a couple threads over.

I have NFI what to think about this team anymore. Which team shows up on Sunday? The one that played the Vikings, Cowboys, Chiefs & Raiders? Or the one that played the Chargers & Niners?

LaFleur has to figure out what he wants this offense to look like.  Unfortunately, he's got to do it with a reshuffled O-line.  I'm hoping he cans the shotgun spread crap with low probability 50/50 throws down the sideline (I know part of that was a function of the Cover 3 the 49ers were playing).   Play time/snaps have to increase for A. Jones, the younger tight ends and Vitale.

The Packers...after a bye week were 100% unprepared to play. 

That is strictly 100% on the head coach. Rookie HC or not, that's the kind of shit that gets you terminated if you've been at a place a couple years. 

Which team shows up this week? Jekyll or Hyde?

MLF's biggest responsibility moving forward is to get Rodgers to stop locking in on Adams and get Aaron Jones involved in the passing game and AT LEAST 20-25 touches per game. He is simply too talented for anything less.

Last week:

Adams targeted 12 times.

Jones: 0.

That's unacceptable.
