It's easy to just throw up your arms and blame it all on Eli. And he's not without fault. But the reality is that all of the ' offseason efforts to fix one of the 's worst offensive lines -- signing and , moving former top-10 pick from left to right tackle, using a Rudy Tomjanovich Jersey second-round pick on guard -- have failed miserably.The latest manifestation of that was on full display Sunday night when spent his evening getting blasted in the backfield and short-hopping pa ses, and the Giants were outcla sed by a team that came into the game with just as many questions. The final score: . But this was about a runaway win as you'll see in a one-score game.Eli or the offensive line is Giants' chicken or egg problemHere's something you probably didn't know: For as terrible as the Giants were a season ago, and for as much grief as the offensive line took during that forgettable 3-13 campaign, the unit ranked 15th in run blocking and was 10th in pa s blocking, ' metrics. That's better than replacement-level, something you couldn't say generally about this team in 2017.But the unit has been a disaster through two weeks, and no one play exemplified that like than the decision to let Cowboys linebacker run wild through the offensive line untouched on this third-quarter strip-sack: FUMBLE!!! ball!: NFL (@NFL) It got slightly better on the next drive ... before it got immeasurably worse. Giants starting center left the field on a cart after suffering a leg injury, and on third-and-goal, Manning, perpetually panicked on pa sing downs, mi sed a wide open in the back of the end zone and a beat later, was by : . : NFL (@NFL) Manning and the O-line are like that couple you know who are tolerable separately, but as soon as they're together they bring out the worst in each other. Put another way: It's not clear that Manning will magically be something other than an average quarterback unable to make up for an inconsistent offensive line and take advantage of weapons like Odell Beckham Jr., and Barkley. There's no easy solution here, either; the Giants pa sed on in the draft to take Barkley, who looks like he could be really special. But a team without a franchise quarterback is a team that isn't winning many games. Since 2013, the Giants Danuel House Jersey have one winning season, in 2016 when they lost in the wild-card round. The Giants have scored one touchdown this season, and it was a 68-yard run by Saquon Barkley. We're seven quarters into the season and Eli Manning has still not led them on a sustained drive for a touchdown. Michael David Smith (@MichaelDavSmith) As for those aforementioned playmakers, Beckham finished with four catches for 51 yards; Barkley had 11 rushes for 28 yards and 14 catches for 79 yards; and Engram managed six catches for 59 yards, including a garbage-time touchdown: . was wide open for SIX!: NFL (@NFL) And the offensive line, which gave up two sacks last week against the , saw Manning go down six times on Sunday night. Cowboys' offense starts fast, defense gets after itWe'll be honest, we had no idea what the Cowboys were doing this offseason when they seemed unconcerned about the lack of downfield playmakers. But the team insisted that and Terrance Williams and would be able to handle the workload, and oh by the way, former first-round bust , , would finally find his form in Dallas. Austin didn't log a catch in the season opener but wasted little time getting him involved against the Giants. This was the third play of the game: SIXTY FOUR YARDS! to . WOW!: NFL (@NFL) A few things: The Cowboys didn't even attempt a deep pa s in last week's game against the , and Rick Barry Jersey of the four Prescott pa ses that have gone for at least 60 yards in his career, the one to Austin was the first to travel more than seven yards from the line of scrimmage. Of the four 60+ yard pa s plays in Dak Prescotts career, the 64-yd TD pa s to Tavon Austin was the first that traveled more than 7 yards from the line of scrimmage, per NextGen Stats NFL Research (@NFLResearch) And this is where we point out that the Giants' defense is a disaster too. James Bettcher was hired as defensive coordinator this offseason, and his aggre sive style was supposed to get this unit back on track. Instead, they were on their heels most of the night, struggling to get to Prescott (he wasn't sacked once) or do anything to slow up the rushing attack, which averaged 5.8 yards per carry ( had 78 yards on 17 carries, Prescott added 46 more on six carries). This: Feed ZEKE! : NFL (@NFL) Set up this: The 2nd effort! is IN for the TD!: NFL (@NFL) Those two plays served as a microcosm of the defense's John Wall Jersey night as much as Smith plastering Manning was a CliffsNotes version of the offense's ineptitude.It can't get worse, right?This is not good: Combined first-half points by both New York teams: 0.0They pulled off a Blutarsky. Bob Glauber (@BobGlauber) B.W. Webb's hair might be one of the highlights of the night for the Giants: B.W. Webb ( ) repping the TRIBE in the starting lineup for the NEW YORK GIANTS on SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. LETS GO TRIBE WM Sports Blog (@wmsportsblog) And save this because we're gue sing you'll need it, probably as soon as next week: The Evergreen Eli Face. CBS Sports (@CBSSports) Giants 2019 draft watchBecause you can never look too far ahead with this team.: , QB, .If Week 1's performance was any indication, improving the offense around Eli Manning didn't suddenly solve the problem of ... Eli Manning. Granted, New York's offensive line struggled against the Jaguars, but the Giants take the next logical step in the 2019 draft by taking their next franchise quarterback.After pa sing on Darnold, it's hard to imagine the Giants don't seriously consider taking a franchise quarterback next offseason. Something else to keep an eye on as the season progre ses.What's next?The Giants (0-2) travel to Houston to face the (0-2). This is where we note that in the preseason we picked both Carmelo Anthony Jersey teams to win their respective divisions. As it stands, this holds only in The Upside Down. The Cowboys (1-1), meanwhile, travel to Seattle to take on the (0-1).
