5 takeaways from the NY Giants terrible loss vs. the Seahawks in Week 8

4. Daniel Jones wasn’t good enough vs. the Seahawks

This is a game that Daniel Jones is going to want to have back. While special teams blunders (more below) haunted this team in the loss, Jones wasn’t good enough. Yes, Seattle’s defense is no slouch, but this was a game Jones needed to impress in and silence all of his haters once and for all.

Last week, Jones tossed for 202 yards and a touchdown, while adding 107 rushing yards and an additional score. He was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week and life was good for Danny Dimes. Everyone was hoping that another strong performance would be recorded, but that wasn’t the case here.

On the day, Jones finished with 176 passing yards and no touchdowns. He didn’t turn the ball over, but people are going to be talking about his terrible missed throw to Lawrence Cager in the first half. Cager was wide open deep down the field and Jones launched it over Cager’s head. It would have been a huge gain, but Jones blew it.
