Jones ranks 23rd out of 24 quarterbacks with at least 10 deep pass attempts over 20 yards in adjusted percentage, so that's not good either. And it looks like all the speed the Giants currently have on offense is being wasted as he struggles to beat these guys with flying colors.

However, I believe the Giants will hang on to Jones until at least the middle of the season. Whether Giants fans like it or not, he gives them the best chance to win, and I think they'll stick with him as long as they have a chance at a wild card spot. We published an article asking whether it makes sense to stick with Jones, who has an injury guarantee in his contract in case the losses continue to pile up.

Second-year receiver Jalin Hyatt is expected to see some snaps from Nabers. I also expect Wan'Dale Robinson to get his usual workload, and Darius Slayton will also see an increase in targets for New York.

Ultimately, I think the Giants could use the running game a little more this week. I don't think starter Devin Singletary will play as he is doubtful with a groin injury, but the Giants may want to take advantage of Seattle's struggling defensive line, which didn't defend the run well last Monday night.

If we talk about sacks, it was overwhelming. Burns has just one sack and two quarterback hits so far, but according to ESPN's Pass Rush Win Rate, he ranks sixth (28 percent) when lining up at the edge. Given the financial investment made in Burns, I think everyone would like to see a little more production from him, as there should be no reason why safety Jason Pinnock should share the team lead in sacks (3) with Dexter Lawrence.

By the way, Lawrence was in top form by the middle of the season. PFF released a stat last week on Cowboys center Cooper Beebee's handling of Lawrence, but neglected to mention that Lawrence was double-teamed in 20 of his 25 pass-rush snaps.

Thibodeaux has 11 pressures and 1.5 sacks, according to PFF. He leads the Giants' edge risers with an overall pass rush win rate of 14.7% per PFF. But on true pass sets, his win rate is 20.5 percent, second best among Giants edge rushers behind only Azeez Ojulari.

The cornerbacks. Deonte Banks was supposed to be the No. 1 cornerback for this team, but he struggled mightily against the opponent's top receiver. This week, his position coach Jerome Henderson openly criticized Banks for allowing CeeDee Lamb a 55-yard touchdown, and I have to say, it was refreshing to hear that honesty.

Meanwhile, it looks like the Giants could get one or both of Adoree' Jackson and Dru Phillips back from calf injuries. So it remains to be seen whether they can keep up with DK Metcalf and the other outstanding Seahawk receivers when the two play corners. Philips is the slot cornerback, and he's been very solid, but again, a lower-body injury is not a good thing for a player who has to make a living keeping up with speedy receivers.

They must not suffer self-inflicted wounds such as drive-killing penalties, dropped passes, overthrown/underthrown passes, and missed tackles. I realize it's asking a lot to expect a team to play a perfect game, but the Giants aren't good enough to overcome the mistakes they made that cost them points, yards and wins.

It goes without saying, but New York's offense needs to be better in the red zone. The Giants have been moving the ball well between the 20s, but the red zone can no longer be a dead zone for them. The Giants rank 20th in the league in red zone scoring with a conversion rate of 50 percent. They've had two games this season – both losses – where they gave goosebumps in the red zone category. This simply cannot continue, regardless of the opponent.
