They didn't get the me sage.Seattle, coming off an unlikely playoff trip last year, David Freese Jersey improved to 3-1 on the season with a of the Giants. How did the Seahawks do it?Geno Smith has been better than anyone could have expected, but terrific drafting can't be overlooked. Devon Witherspoon, taken fifth overall this year with a pick acquired in the Wilson deal, had a game-breaking 97-yard pick six and two of Seattle's franchise record-tying 11 (!) sacks. The last rookie with a pick six and two sacks in a game was Andy Katzenmoyer in 1999.The 2022 draft cla s was even more loaded: Second-round running back Kenneth Walker III(79 yards, one touchdown) and fifth-round cornerback Riq Woolen(seven tackles, one pa s defense) both finished in the top three of their respective Rookie of the Year races last season. Tackles Charles Cro s and Abraham Lucas look like cornerstones (and neither even played Monday).Add in some solid signings -- Uchenna Nwosa and Bobby Wagner both had two sacks -- and some outstanding holdover talent -- DK Metcalf(34 yards, one touchdown) andTyler Lockett(54 yards) are a criminally underrated receiver duo -- and you get a team that is simultaneously talented and young.

The Giants arrived early last season. They won close games, avoided mistakes and got some bounces en route to the postseason. Those qualities are nowhere to be found in 2023. Last year, the Giants kept things close, allowing them to stick to their game plan and capitalize on opponents' mistakes. This year, they've been outscored by 68 points in the first half, tied for the worst by any team through four games since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.Last year, the Giants were 11th in turnover margin Dave Parker Jersey . This year, they're tied for 30th.Last year, Saquon Barkley-- the Giants' only above-average weapon -- mi sed just one game (resting in Week 18) and recorded 1,650 yards from scrimmage, seventh in the league. This year, he has already mi sed two games -- including Monday night -- and is 108th in yards from scrimmage. He's still the team's only above-average offensive weapon.Another thing that hasn't changed? He was pretty terrible -- Witherspoon took a -- but his supporting cast and especially his banged-up offensive line were even worse. The NFL is a game of tiny margins ... until you start making Giant (pun intended) mistakes. The Giants are finding out this year is not last year. Not even close.
