The New York Giants may have snapped their two-game skid with a win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12; however, Saquon Barkley is far from satisfied with what they showed in the contest.
New York won the game 13-7, which is an unacceptable offensive outcome for a franchise that has all the tools to be an elite offensive team. Barkley hinted as much after the game, noting they can't be happy with merely winning.
“Can't be satisfied with 13 points,” the Giants running back said of the win, per Big Blue View.
True enough, it's the Giants' defense that won them the game against the Eagles instead of their offense. They basically shut down Philly quarterback Jalen Hurts, intercepting him thrice and preventing him to throw for a touchdown. Hurts finished with just 129 yards on 14-of-31 pass completion.
As for New York's attack, Daniel Jones threw for just one touchdown. The rushing game was seemingly absent as well, with Saquon Barkley himself running for just 40 yards–which is already the most for the team.
The offense has undoubtedly been the Giants' weakest link, which is why former offensive coordinator Jason Garrett was fired recently. However, by the looks of it, New York's problem transcends beyond just the system.
It remains to be seen how Joe Judge will address the issue, but he is certainly running out of time to make the key changes he needs if they still want to turn around the season.
