Eli had one of his most efficient games, ever - in fact - his most, and Saquon and Odell did the rest. Saquon as a beast and scored 3 TD's (2 runs, 1 pass) as well as 142 yards on a career high 27 carries. He might have had a 4th, but Eli's on miss of the day (17/18) was a throw to the boundary side when he should have hit the field side of a wide open Saquon. Odell only had 4 catches, but scored and averaged 18.5 per catch. He also had a big first down on a reverse. Evan Engram has to become a bigger part of the O. He had 2 catches for 66 yards. Sterling had 2 catches for 18 yards, Saquon had 2 for 10 and a TB, and Gallman had 2 for 22 as well as 2 rushes for 11 yards.
The D scored a pick 6, and had two more int's before ending the game with one, but man, were they otherwise awful.
If the early season Giant D shows back up, to play with the awakened O, this could become really fun.

Jenkins in particular has been “waivably” bad.
I’ll be honest, I have been rooting for a tank because of the QB succession issue, and became I have been completely underwhelmed by Shurmur.
But to paraphrase a SoD from years ago, you root for the the team you have, not the team you might want.

The teams with the top five offenses in the current NFL are a combined 38-13-1 and four of them are in first place in their division (sorry, Bucs). The teams with the top five defenses in the NFL are a combined 23-26-1 and only one of them is in first place (congrats, Bears!). The top five rushing teams? They’re 25-25-1

When Gettleman took over he laid out that blueprint.
“At the end of the day,” he said, “it’s the same three things you’ve had to do in ’35 that you’ve got to do now in 2018. You’ve got to run the ball. You’ve got to stop the run. You’ve got to pressure the passer.”
Who would have thought that less than a year later such an idea – and the Giants themselves -- would seem so dated
