Jones had what was by far his worst game of the season, to-date.

The offensive line, which has been elite all season, had a very bad game also.

Peyton Manning threw 6 int's vs the Chargers in 2007 and Adam Vinateri missed 2 FG's and the Colts lost by 2 points. Same kind of game.

Daniel Jones is at his worst when asked to play hero ball....which he was today.

The Giants often asked him to play hero ball because, well, they sucked.

When he is a part of the offense, he has shown to be good.

When he has to be the focal point of the offense however.

I was not impressed by out offensive plan this game. Too many of our passing plays seemed designed to be much deeper than earlier games in the season. I was dismayed that, especially once we became one dimensional and PIT teed off on pass rush, that there seemed to be a complete lack of quick slants, wheel routes or quick hitters designed to get 6-8 yards and a cloud of dust. Everything seemed to be 15 yards down field slow developing crossing routes.

I totally agree. The other thing that I noticed is that DJ's drop depth wasn't synced up with the pass blocking scheme. Maybe after having a couple of batted ball int's DJ was over compensating with his drop depth?

looks like we will be giving him a big deal this offseason now that we traded away 2 1st round picks

Jones's pass-protection from the offensive line was awful today, but I also think that he showed a lack of pocket-presence on several occasions ...... late in the first half, the Colts had 2nd-and-1 near midfield. Jones took a sack to put them in a near-impossible 3rd-and-11 with the clock running. He needed to get rid of the ball for an incomplete pass to stop the clock and save the yards, and the Colts still would have been in good shape at 3rd-and-1 ....... also with the fumbles, he was lucky that he didn't lose 2 today, as one of his fumbles very fortuitously fell out of bounds before the Falcons could recover it.

A. I don't know what has happened in the last two games but our O-Line is getting beat by A LOT more pass rushers.

B. We are beginning to see the Daniel Jones that the New York fans saw for seven years.

C. That DOES NOT mean that DJ cannot be saved. We need to use the bye week to figure out what has changed and get back to what worked earlier in the season.

I don't like seeing DJ try to carry the load. He's not as seasoned as JT and he's not as good.

Great time for the bye week as other have said.

It could be too that we have put a lot down on film that other teams have been game-planning against.
