The Giants need good play from their young players, and they definitely got that against against the Bills.

For the second week in a row, the Giants starting defense was stout while the offense sputtered.
Quarterback Tyrod Taylor and the “Bad News” Buffalo Bills overcame another series of preseason distractions to beat the New York Giants 21-0 on Saturday. In the first quarter, the Giants offense gained only 15 yards of offense in total. They added 10 penalties.
Manning completed four of his nine passes for 44 yards.
These were all the things blamed on former head coach Tom Coughlin prior to his departure from the Giants earlier this year.
“He helped me a lot, coming in to when I first came in to staying with him”. He didn’t look sharp on his first field goal attempt missing a chip shot from 27-yards out.
The Buffalo Bills have given up on Karlos Williams, releasing the second-year running back on Saturday.
Williams immediately dispelled any questions by becoming the second National Football League player to score touchdowns in his first six games – and at a time when starter LeSean McCoy was hampered by a hamstring injury.
“What we practice needs to show up on game days, and it hasn’t”, McAdoo said. “We didn’t turn the ball over, it wasn’t as effective as we needed to be, but it’s something to work off of”. Asked if there were any positives to take out of the offensive performance, he simply said: “No”. Like I said before, he has a bright future.
“Really good performance today”. We know he can play. “We will just get back to the drawing board”. They did not provide any details about the move. That touchdown came immediately after Giants backup quarterback Ryan Nassib was sacked and fumbled the ball to the Bills at their own 19. On his very first snap, running back Andre Williams was hit by linebacker Zach Brown and fumbled.
“We still have a ton of talent”, he said.
Losing Williams – who scored nine touchdowns as a rookie – and a Pro Bowl-talent in Dareus undoubtedly makes the Bills’ challenge of getting to the playoffs more hard, as does the loss of rookies Shaq Lawson and Reggie Ragland, but Wood insisted that does not give the team a built-in excuse. But the Bills still managed to score a touchdown just 13 seconds later.
But off-the-field issues have plagued the potential superstar’s development.
“There’s nothing to panic about”, running back Rashad Jennings said. On the next snap, Little ran the same pattern as the previous possession, got a step on Deayon, and caught Manuel’s pass for a touchdown.
On third down, the Bills defense went 5-for-6 in the first half.

“Honestly on a day-to-day basis, I don’t think about it”, he said. As stellar as Eli Manning has been lately, he and one receiver can only do so much. Wide receiver Victor Cruz will also practice Monday. Scott Edwards – the middle judge – lined up 18-20 yards downfield, opposite the back judge, and focused on action around the center and guards. Rashad Jennings and Shane Vereen are the unquestioned staples at the position. After review, referee Jeff Triplette overturned the call on the field and ruled it an incomplete pass. Overall, Taylor was 7-for-10, 132 yards, and a touchdown.
