Sleeping Giants annoy quarterback Jones

The New York Giants were once again defeated by the San Francisco 49ers. The NFL team was once again chasing a big halftime deficit. In this regard, quarterback Daniel Jones is demanding an increase in the performance of his colleagues.
With the NFL season still fresh, a clear trend is already emerging for the New York Giants. The team regularly misses the first half. At the start against the Dallas Cowboys (0:40), the drop was already 0:26 before the break. Without the spectacular comeback a week later against the Arizona Cardinals (31:28), the next blow would have been there after the 0:20 halftime deficit.
Since the “G-Men” were once again well behind against the 49ers before halftime (6:17), Daniel Jones thought it appropriate to address this problem publicly. “Yeah, that’s not what we’re aiming for, so we have to find a way to fix it,” the quarterback said after the recent loss (12:30). via team protocol. “At the beginning of the game we have to execute our plays better, finish in the end zone, take advantage of opportunities, make plays and take better advantage of those situations.”
The Giants managed just two field goals in the first two quarters. The guests also seemed overwhelmed both offensively and defensively before the break. Incidentally, New York’s head coach Brian Daboll saw the reason for this not in his own failure, but in the 49ers’ high level of quality. “Of course you want to get started quickly. But this is a damn good team,” Daboll praised the superior opponent after the game. “Usually it comes down to making plays when you get the chance. But they did a good job and you have to give them credit.”
For this reason, he doesn’t want to blame his team. “You have to take the good from it and learn from the bad. Just like in every game. We fought until the end,” emphasized Daboll.
