Stock up, down after Giants’ 26-25 loss to Rams

Whose stock is up and whose is down following the New York Giants’ Sunday afternoon loss to the Los Angeles Rams?

The New York Giants couldn’t get out of their own way in Week 17, repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

As a potential game-winning field goal sailed wide left with only seconds remaining, reality sunk in. The season was already lost but now it’s going down in the flames of frustration.

The chance to play spoiler was lost as the Los Angeles Rams hung on to win, 26-25.

Whose stock is up and whose is down after the Week 17 defeat? Let’s take a look.

Studs and duds from Giants’ Week 17 loss vs. Rams

Here’s a look at the studs and duds (and studly duds) from a 26-25 loss for the New York Giants against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17.

The New York Giants entered Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams as 5.5-point underdogs and with nothing to play for, having been eliminated from playoff contention a week ago.

However, you wouldn’t have been able to tell by how hard the Giants fought for all four quarters. There were many self-inflicted wounds but their effort can not be questioned.

Unfortunately, for a team that is already shorthanded and personnel-deficient, those added unforced errors were too much to overcome. And while they hung in with the high-powered Rams, they ultimately fell, 26-25, on a missed field goal with only seconds remaining.

Here is a look at some of the studs and duds (and studly duds) from the Week 17 defeat.

NFL fans criticize penalty on Saints: ‘End of the NFL as we know it’

NFL fans on social media criticized this baffling penalty against the Saints: ‘End of the NFL as we know it’

Sheesh. New Orleans Saints cornerback Alontae Taylor made a solid head-up tackle on New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger to get his defense off the field on third down, but it wasn’t meant to be — instead, referee Carl Cheffers’ officiating crew threw a penalty flag and said Taylor was committed unnecessary roughness by tackling Bellinger on the play.

It was a brutal penalty, and it’s tough to see what Taylor did that warranted the foul. But the play resulted in a big gain for the Giants, who drove downfield to kick a 40-yard field goal before halftime.

And fans weren’t happy. Neither were the Saints, with head coach Dennis Allen haranguing Cheffers and his crew through the next commercial break. Here’s what fans, media in attendance, former players and viewers on social media had to say about the play:

Giants’ Evan Neal out, Dexter Lawrence questionable vs. Packers

The New York Giants have listed NT Dexter Lawrence as questionable in Week 14 but are “hopeful” he will play on Monday Night Football.

The New York Giants closed out their practice slate on Saturday afternoon, wrapping up their third session in four days.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, who is nursing a hamstring injury, was a practice participant for the second straight day (and third as a projected participant). Head coach Brian Daboll said he will be listed as questionable and stands a chance to play in Week 14.

Daboll was equally hopeful for fellow defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson, who has also been hobbled by a hamstring issue.

Meanwhile, tight end Daniel Bellinger missed his second consecutive day of practice due to an illness. He is questionable but should play assuming his health improves over the next 48 hours.

As anticipated, right tackle Evan Neal remains out and it’s unclear when (or if) he’ll return to the field this season.

Full injury reports for both the Giants and Packers can be found below:

Giants injury report: Dexter Lawrence limited in practice

For the second straight day, New York Giants NT Dexter Lawrence was a limited participant in practice. TE Daniel Bellinger was added as DNP.

The New York Giants returned to the field on Friday for their second of three full practices ahead of a Week 14 game against the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football.

Once again, all eyes were on nose tackle Dexter Lawrence and right tackle Evan Neal.

As expected, Neal did not participate in practice and is unlikely to play on Monday night. However, as head coach Brian Daboll previously alluded, Lawrence saw his workload increase and could, potentially, be available against Green Bay.

Lawrence was officially limited, which was the same as his Thursday projection.

The Giants’ full Friday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: OL Evan Neal (ankle), TE Daniel Bellinger (illness)

Limited participant: NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), DL A’Shawn Robinson (hamstring), LB Isaiah Simmons (ankle)

Full participant: QB Tyrod Taylor (ribs), LB Carter Coughlin (hip)

Stock up, down after Giants’ 10-7 win over Patriots

Whose stock is up and whose is down following the New York Giants’ 10-7 victory over the New England Patriots in Week 12?

The New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots, 10-7, in an ugly and raining game at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon, improving their record to 4-8 on the season.

It’s now back-to-back wins for the Giants as they head into their bye week and while it hasn’t been pretty, it has been a nice change of pace from the 1-7 stretch they had been on prior to Week 11.

Whose stock is up and whose is down after the Week 12 win? Let’s take a look.

Studs and duds from Giants’ Week 12 win vs. Patriots

Here’s a look at the studs and duds (and studly duds) from a 10-7 win for the New York Giants against the New England Patriots in Week 12.

The New York Giants took on the New England Patriots at a rainy MetLife Stadium on Sunday and the play on the field was about as ugly as the second-half weather.

Both the Giants and Patriots resembled the 2- and 3-win teams they are and showed why they are near the bottom of the league in most metrics. It was an ugly slog of a game that seemed to draw on and on.

Tackling was abhorrent, drops were abundant, missed assignments were frequent and there were precious few highlights over 60 game minutes. It was just a poor display of NFL football.

In the end, the Giants hung on thanks to three Patriots interceptions and a missed chip-shot field as time expired. Oogly.

Here is a look at some of the studs and duds (and studly duds) from the Week 12 win.

5 impact Giants from 2022 who have vanished in 2023

The 2022 New York Giants surprised the football world by picking up a playoff victory but these 5 impacts players have vanished in 2023.

The New York Giants came into the 2023 season with high hopes after experiencing their first playoff appearance since 2016 last season.

Those hopes have been dashed — and then some — as the Giants have opened the 2023 season with a 2-8 record and are on course to have one of their worst seasons in franchise history.

That didn’t happen in a vacuum. Injuries, poor coaching and personnel choices, and yes, player underperformance, have all contributed to the club’s rapid demise.

Here are five players who contributed heavily in 2022 that have ‘vanished’ this season.

Giants’ Andrew Thomas, John Michael Schmitz out vs. Dolphins

The New York Giants will be without three offensive linemen in Week 5 against the Dolphins, including LT Andrew Thomas.

The New York Giants take on the Miami Dolphins this Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida and will do so shorthanded once again.

Head coach Brian Daboll revealed prior to practice that left tackle Andrew Thomas, rookie center John Michael Schmitz and reserve guard Shane Lemieux would all remain sidelined.

That was a bad omen and the worst-case scenario proved true as all three were listed as “out” for the Week 5 game.

Meanwhile, running back Saquon Barkley remained limited in practice and will be a game-time decision for the second consecutive week. It remains unlikely that he’ll play.

Full injury reports for both the Giants and Dolphins can be found below:

Giants injury report: Andrew Thomas, John Michael Schmitz remain sidelined

New York Giants LT Andrew Thomas and rookie OL John Michael Schmitz remain sidelined in practice and appear unlikely to play in Week 5.

The New York Giants took the field for their second of three practices leading up to Saturday’s departure for Florida.

There was hope that both left tackle Andrew Thomas and rookie center John Michael Schmitz would return to the field but that did not happen. Instead, head coach Brian Daboll revealed that nothing would change from the day prior.

That likely means no Thomas, JMS or reserve Shane Lemieux for the Giants on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

It also wasn’t entirely accurate as linebacker Micah McFadden was added with an ankle injury.

Running back Saquon Barkley was once again limited but he, too, remains uncertain for the Week 5 game.

The Giants’ Thursday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), OL Shane Lemieux (groin)

Limited participant: LB Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), TE Daniel Bellinger (knee), OL Evan Neal (hand/ankle), OL Marcus McKethan (knee), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) and RB Gary Brightwell (ankle), LB Micah McFadden (ankle)

Full participant: N/A
