How do Giants fare getting into Week 14?

Nate Davis, USA TODAY:

Suppose it’s gotten ugly right here? A workforce that’s allowed not less than 120 speeding yards in seven consecutive video games simply put Professional Bowl DL Dexter Lawrence (dislocated elbow) onto injured reserve. Think about what which means for Baltimore RB Derrick Henry’s homeowners when the fantasy playoffs start in two weeks.

Barry Werner, Checklist Wire:

Drew Lock seems to be extra of a solution than Tommy DeVito. If the Giants can preserve Lock upright, they not less than some semblance of an offense.

NFL Nation, ESPN:

The veteran linebacker (Bobby Okereke) in all probability ought to have made the Professional Bowl final 12 months, when he had even higher manufacturing. In a brand new protection, he doesn’t have fairly the identical alternatives for large performs, however Okereke continues to be producing. He does all of it. The center ‘backer has 93 tackles, 2.0 sacks, 3 passes defended, 3 pressured fumbles and a pair of fumble recoveries. As coach Brian Daboll mentioned on Thanksgiving, Okereke is without doubt one of the greatest within the league at punching the ball out. It’s a ability. Solely two NFC linebackers (Zack Baun and Fred Warner) have extra pressured fumbles this season.

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting Information:

The Giants dug deeper at quarterback with the identical low-upside, high-mistake outcomes when Drew Lock wanted to begin for lame-duck coach Brian Daboll.

Frank Schwab, Yahoo! Sports activities:

The Giants’ greatest participant this season, by far, has been defensive deal with Dexter Lawrence II. He’s out for the remainder of the season with a dislocated elbow. As if the Giants wanted any extra dangerous information.

Diante Lee, The Ringer:

With quarterback Tommy Devito inactive in opposition to Dallas, we acquired an opportunity to observe the Drew Lock present — and it by no means disappoints. Lock’s lengthy scramble reminded us of how his athletic traits make him fascinating as a backup choice … after which when he threw a display so poorly it acquired tipped and intercepted, it reminded us of why he can by no means be greater than that. Pressure-feeding the run sport and rookie receiver Malik Nabers isn’t producing a lot offense anymore, and the workforce’s lack of self-discipline was evident in its penalties in opposition to Dallas. 

This group is simply nearly as good at beating itself as it’s at dropping to superior opponents, and there are many these left on their schedule.

Eric Edholm, NFL.com:

With the Giants at 2-5 again in October, proprietor John Mara gave head coach Brian Daboll and normal supervisor Joe Schoen a vote of confidence. As we sit right here as we speak, the G-Males are 2-10, bringing their dropping streak to seven video games. The issue with chopping Daniel Jones is now that yet another affordable excuse has been proven the door. So, simply how busy will this offseason be for Large Blue? That might rely on how this workforce performs out the string of a misplaced season. Successful not less than one of many final three dwelling video games can be good, contemplating New York presently holds an 0-6 report at MetLife Stadium this season. Drew Lock was clobbered on Thanksgiving however really performed fairly gamely and gave the Giants one thing of an opportunity. Possibly they will pull an upset down the stretch.

Ben Rolfe, Professional Soccer Community:

The New York Giants very a lot really feel like they’re in a downward spiral. Drew Lock did some good issues in his first begin of the season, however his efficiency was finally not that significantly better than we now have seen from Tommy DeVito or Daniel Jones. The protection has additionally light within the final couple of weeks, and that is one other workforce the place the wheels are coming off. A possible season-ending harm to Dexter Lawrence solely provides to the collective despair in East Rutherford.
