It was a tough Thursday Night Football showing for the New York Giants offense.
With star running back Saquon Barkley out with a high ankle sprain, the Giants struggled to cover ground Thursday in a 30-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The New York offensive line received the brunt of fans’ criticism as the Giants fell to 1-2 on the season.

Daniel Jones has about 0.03 seconds to scan the entire field, go through his progressions and complete a pass. Job well done by the Oline tonight https://t.co/dpA3ag0Bhd

Giants o line like thin cut deli meat
Brody @ItsGiantsSzn
Defense playing well all things considered
Giants will lose this game because of… you guessed it
The Offensive Line
Dustin Swedelson @dustinswedelson
The most consistent thing in my life is the Giants having a bad offensive line
🍺🦌🇺🇸🏆💍 @MKEONLY
The giants o line plays like they are trying to throw the game
Sam @CaptainSamster1
Giants gave it their all, just can’t do anything when your offensive line gives you no time…
GG to the 49ers
All $ In 🏁 @EA_973
Every time I seen Daniel Jones play he always running for his life lol , Giants offensive line needs some work
JA @joniahiman
The giants OL has been beyond terrible for 10 years when are they going to fix this
ᴊ ᴜ s ᴛ ɪ ɴ 😵💫 @jchan1700
it’s actually so sad how easily the giants o line got bulldozed over 😭
Mark @pfaefflem
Giants offensive line is embarrassingly bad
магомедов @stigmaenigmaa
Giants honestly have the worst O line it’s so hard to watch. Give DJ protection and time ffs 😭😭😭
PCGB Burner. @PCGBURNER
If you gave the Giants an offensive line they’re Super Bowl champs I don’t care what anyone says
Bradley Chaisson @ChaissonBradley
So the Giants don’t have a QB or Offensive Line. That’s a bad combo
Fans also criticized quarterback Daniel Jones, who made 22 connections on 32 passes for 137 yards, one interception and no touchdowns. He was sacked twice and pulled before the end of the fourth quarter.
Even more frustratingly for fans, Jones finished the game with just two carries for five yards. He had racked up 102 yards on the ground through the first two contests of the season.
Jones signed a four-year contract worth up to $160 million in March.
Gavin Downard @GavinDownard
The giants will never win a football game again if Daniel Jones doesn’t use his legs. Not sure what the plan is.
Rudy Antuna @52Rudy
Daniel Jones ran 13 times for 43 yards against Dallas but tonight refuses to run. Shit just makes no sense
Matt @Mchuck16
The best thing Daniel Jones does is run; 5 rushing yards is not acceptable @Giants
ThatsGoodSports @BrandonPerna
The Giants offense works when Daniel Jones is running. Daniel Jones has 5 rushing yards.
The Giants offense is not working
Other viewers blamed the Giants’ struggles on their lack of wide receiver depth. Darren Waller, who is a tight end but was often lined on the outside like a wide receiver, made three receptions on six targets for 32 yards.

We doing everything right by the lack of a dynamic receiver is killing us man. Daniel Jones got nobody to throw to when all the attention on Waller. You can’t just think you can out scheme teams you have to have dynamic players
Bobro charter member @Camorooni
Name a Giants wide receiver challenge (impossible)
Cesar @CesarMercado4
Giants hung in as much as they could but a lack of a true 1 at WR killed them. This one is a wrap
NY Giants Talk @NYGiantsTalk15
The Giants desperately need a WR1. Every good team has one. We do not
Nickels, Dimes Dollars @yardestyle
Giants WRs are not getting the job done. This 49ers secondary isn’t this good and no one is creating separation. Please put Hyatt in. This experiment of lots of journeyman WRs hoping to find a WR1 and 2 isn’t working. At least try the young WR draft pick
Barkley last suffered a high ankle sprain in 2019. Back then, it caused him to miss three games, so his availability is questionable for the Giants’ next contest on October 2.
The New York team will root for the quick recovery of their star running back in the hopes Barkley can help spark an more effective offense against the Seattle Seahawks.
