Good god if the giants don’t get some offensive linemen back by next weekend they’re gonna lose by 100

 

100 may be the number of sacks the Bills get against them. Poor Daniel Jones. No QB could succeed behind that OL. Although he needs to play better. That 97-yard pick 6 was terrible. The Giants would have gotten back in the game if they score there.

About the jet lag issue:  It's a five hour difference between Buffalo and London.  It's a three hour difference between San Francisco and Buffalo.  For West Coast teams playing on the East Coast, the time difference is real but manageable.  So what's the big deal  There's no reason why a team in the eastern US should feel totally discombobulated when playing in London.

 

The reason most Americans feel lousy at first when traveling to the UK or elsewhere in Europe is the airlines' preference for traveling overnight.  You end up not getting much sleep on the flight, arriving in the UK in the morning (their time), stumbling through the first day trying not to sleep, and eventually catching up over a few days.  This is not that much different from taking a red-eye flight from California to the East Coast, which I've done many times to my regret.  It's a bad choice.

 

If you're flying eastward over several time zones, it's better to leave in the morning (departure location) and arrive in the evening (arrival location).  Then you have some trouble getting to sleep that first night, but after a partial night's sleep you're pretty much OK the next day and are fine the day after that, assuming you're able to get a full night's sleep the second night you're there.

 

I don't know when the Bills are planning to travel, but they should do it soon, and they should try to travel during a day and not overnight.

By the end of the game, Jones looked like Sam Howell did near the end of the Bills' whooping of the Commanders.  Both of them looked completely shellshocked, and were trying to protect themselves when they went back to pass instead of looking hard for the play downfield.  

 

Jones and Howell were both fortunate not to have had a serious injury, although both were probably sore for days afterward.

 

What's the verdict on Daboll as Giants' HC?  It's becoming clear that the Patriots' success was down to Brady and not Belichick.  Could be that Daboll's success in Buffalo was due to Josh Allen and not Daboll's own abilities.  Even with the Bills mediocre O line the years Daboll was with the Bills, he managed to craft an effective offense.  This year, boy it's bad.
