NFL power rankings, Week 4: Giants continue to fall
Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports New York can’t go much lower Even though the New York Giants lost 30-12 to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3, the consensus among most writers here at Big Blue View was that there were at least a few positives to take away from the game. The national media does not agree. The Giants have officially plummeted to the bottom of most sports outlets’ power rankings after hanging in the middle of the pack throughout a disappointing first two weeks. The Giants dropped from No. 19 to No. 27 in Bleacher Report’s rankings. Pro Football...

Giants vs. Seahawks, Week 4: The only storyline that matters is that the Giants need a victory
Photo by Cooper Neill/ To get one, they have to improve in a lot of areas There is only one storyline that matters for the New York Giants in Week 4. Can they beat the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night to even their record at 2-2? With road games coming against the powerful Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills in Weeks 5 and 6, a victory would allow the Giants to avoid the specter of a disastrous 1-5 start. A loss would increase the questions about a team that won a playoff game a year ago and approached this season with heightened expectations. Neither the offense nor the...

Vanishing act: Why has Giants’ Xavier McKinney disappeared?
Xavier McKinney | Photo by Cooper Neill/ From the Giants’ most productive defensive player, McKinney has become a nonfactor Three games into the 2023 season, the New York Giants have been an abject disappointment in virtually every area. The areas of seeming personnel improvement have not translated to the field, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Almost as notable, though, is the continued disappearance of one of their most important holdovers: safety Xavier McKinney. McKinney broke out as one of the best young safeties in the NFL in 2021, his second year...

Giants’ offensive line picture for Week 4 begins to take shape
Photo by Cooper Neill/ Coach Brian Daboll says Andrew Thomas and Ben Bredeson are progressing One of the questions many people have been asking — including us here at Big Blue View — is how the New York Giants will configure their offensive line in a key Week 4 matchup Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Brian Daboll answered that on Tuesday. Left guard Ben Bredeson is working his way through concussion protocol after missing Thursday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. Bredeson will have a non-contact practice Tuesday, a contact practice...

Giants vs. Seahawks, 2023 Week 4: Everything you need to know
Photo by Cooper Neill/ Complete coverage of Monday’s Giants-Seahawks game The New York Giants (1-2) return home from a two-game West Coast swing to face the Seattle Seahawks (2-1) on Monday Night Football in Week 4 of the 2023-24 NFL season. After opening as an underdog, the Giants are now slight favorites, per DraftKings Sportsbook. The Giants face games on the road against the Miami Dolphins in Week 5 and the Buffalo Bills in Week 6. They will likely be heavy underdogs in those games. Thus, beating Seattle to get to 2-2 is imperative to avoid the possibility of a...

Wan’Dale Robinson: ‘It felt good to get back out there’
Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/ Robinson, and the Giants offense, will keep working to improve Whatever else happened for the New York Giants last week on Thursday Night Football, there was one definite bright spot in the return of wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson to the field. Robinson suffered a torn ACL on November 20th of 2022, setting him on a long and arduous path back to the football field. While Robinson has been injured before — he suffered a series of soft tissue injuries early in his freshman year at Nebraska in 2019 — this was the first time he’s ever...

Giants’ offensive issues start, but don’t end, with offensive line
Photo by Cooper Neill/ Let’s take a look at some of them If you want to take a glass half-full approach, you can look at the New York Giants’ offense and say that it has been twice as good as the defense so far this season. After all, the offense has played two good quarters out of 12, while the defense has played just one. Jokes aside, everyone knows that two good quarters out of 12 is not nearly good enough. So, what is going on with the Giants’ offense? You can look at the situation with the Giants’ offense, pin the issues on two things and call it a day....

Giants’ Xavier McKinney: ‘It’s pretty simple’ — the Giants just need to tackle better
George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers stiff arms Xavier McKinney during Thursday’s game. | Photo by Michael Owens/ It certainly has not looked simple the past two games New York Giants safety Xavier McKinney had to know the line of questioning that was coming on Monday when he met with New York media via Zoom. Considering that the Giants have missed 28 tackles in their last two games, have yet to force a turnover and are giving up 32.7 points per game the poor performance had to be discussed. So, what is going on with the tackling? “Just need to be better...

Film breakdown: Micah McFadden’s big outing
Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports The much-maligned second-year linebacker played well vs. 49ers The New York Giants fell to 1-2 after their 30-12 Thursday Night Football loss in Santa Clara, California, against the 49ers. The Giants had several injuries on the offensive side of the football, and only mustered 150 yards of total offense, while San Francisco recorded 441 yards on offense. Typically, with yardage totals that vast for the 49ers, positive defensive observations seem scarce. There was one name, though, that announcers Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit kept...
