Thursday Night Recap: Thrilling Plays & Surprising Outcomes

I wish I could tell y'all I hated the game. I loved it. I loved it. I loved the Thursday night football. Jaden Daniels didn't do something stupid. Well, he tried to. But even he overcame the night. So I thought it was a good game. Can't wait to talk about it. Yeah, so the reason why John's saying that, Jaden Daniels threw two picks and still won it with 57 seconds left. Washington basically stole this game. They trailed in the fourth quarter. They were the road dog, and they tightened up the NFC East a little bit. I guess you could say the Cowboys. The Cowboys have an opening here. I mean, the Cowboys still did have an opening, but they have even more of an opening now to still be in this NFC East race that has just been a disaster so far. So 24-21, Washington gets the win. And listen, Jaden Daniels... He tried his best. John said it earlier, but he tried his best to make sure that the commanders didn't win this game. And then the giants who put in Jameis Winston to say, who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who? Oh, that was beautiful. That was one of the best moments that I've seen in the NFL in a long time. So the reason I say that Jameis Winston came in for a, basically a, try to get the commanders offside on fourth and one late in the game. And they brought Jameis Winston into it. And he goes, hut one, hut two, hut three. And then he goes, Who let the dogs out? You can hear it clear as day on the microphone. I was cracking up. Jameis is a treasure to this league. But John, your thoughts on this Giants. In my opinion, it was a Giants collapse. I don't know if that's how you see it. Y'all still think J.J. McCarthy is the second coming of, I don't know, Randall Cunningham? Huh? How y'all feeling now? How are the people of New York feeling about J.J. McCarthy now? I knew this was going to happen. I don't got no faith in J.J. McCarthy. Y'all, J.J. McCarthy played a couple of good games, and now y'all ready to crown him? Now Jackson Dart who? Jackson who? Dart what? You want to play Dart? What? No. I cannot believe that you guys, not you in particular, but people of sports consumption, fell for what J.J. McCarthy can do. This is what he does. The touchdown that he threw, by the way, was a great throw. Stood in, took one in the chest, but that was a... 60-yard run that got that done. That wasn't no bomb he threw. I'm not convinced that J.J. McCarthy is the guy. I think that the New York Giants are now in a tug of war, in a division, when they absolutely shouldn't be. Now, again, don't get me wrong. I don't think Jameis should start, because I think J.J. McCarthy has played well for them. But the expectations that people now have of the Giants, because J.J. McCarthy played two good games, one in which he got hurt. It's just, it's laughable to me. The Giants did what I think the Giants are going to do under J.J. McCarthy. Look good for a long time, but not be able to finish. Yeah, and John, you mentioned it. Like, Isaiah Likely, I will say on the Giants side, Isaiah Likely, 9 for 127. Great game. With a touchdown, 66-yard touchdown at 8:13 of the fourth. That gave them the lead, actually. They were down 17-14. And then you can go to Cam Akers, like 18 of 78, two touchdowns. He was back from his hamstring injury after missing a game. And you're looking around like J.J. McCarthy. I know you said it, but that, oh my God, that last drive, it felt like he was throwing up noodle balls every time he dropped back. And yeah, they did hit his arm a few times. Welcome to Subway. Yeah, I know. So they were, oh my God, the meatball subs, extra oil. My goodness, they were terrible passes. And. He finished 23 of 36, 293 with a touchdown and a pick. You're going to look at that stat line and go, oh my God, almost 300 yards. It wasn't pretty down the stretch, and I think the execution of the Giants really surprised me, too. They didn't really execute like a John Harbaugh team is supposed to, and, you know, you can kind of make the case, John, that they should have lost the first game of this matchup, too, but Jaden Daniels just decided to go into the field of play and let the clock run out and not call a timeout or anything instead. So, like, where do you see... This Giants team, because this Giants team, you can make the case that, yeah, they, they're in first, but I don't believe in them at all. I mean, I don't believe in them to even win this division now. Come playoff time. If the Giants are the division leader, whoever is playing them in the NFC North will be licking a chop. Can't wait to get on the flight. Can't wait to get on the flight to go play the New York Giants. Or by the way, can't wait to get on the flight to go play the Carolina Panthers. So, I'm watching the Giants, and I just, I don't see what everyone else sees. I think that they found a way through good coaching, because I think John Harbaugh is a good coach. They found a way through good coaching to find their way to some wins. But that's kind of where it stops. I think the whole division is below average. I think they're no better than the NFC South. They just have a better brand. They're not Fruity Loops. They're Fruit Loops. And so you watch these dudes play, and you look at them, and you go, okay, the Cowboys, stop me if you heard this. The Cowboys will figure it out. How?
