The New York Giants felt small on Sunday night, when they were, getting thrashed 40-0 versus the Dallas Cowboys in a streaking rain at MetLife Stadium.
There was no downplaying the defeat for coach Brian Daboll.
“We just got skunked here, 40 to nothing,” he said after the game, via the official transcript. “When you play a game like that and coach a game like that, there’s nothing that’s good enough. Our job is to go back and look at it with a critical eye, just like we would do in any game, but 40 to nothing is not a good score, obviously. So, a lot to work on, and that’s what we’ll do.”
Whatever the New York Giants do to move forward from a loss of this magnitude, cannot be worse than what they put on film Sunday night.
The offense committed three turnovers and racked in 171 total yards (2.6 yards per play), they got to the red zone once in 12 possessions, putting up a goose egg on the scoreboard. The defense got flattened, permitting scores on four of Dallas’ first five possessions. And the special teams had a field goal blocked for a score, and Graham Gano yanked another 36-yarder.
“This wasn’t our best game, there is no doubt about it,” quarterback Daniel Jones said. “This wasn’t who we are capable of being. We’ve got to show that. We’ve got to put that on the field and play that way. We didn’t do that tonight, and we have a lot to work on going forward.”
