13 points in a game is simply not going to cut it in the NFL.
The Giants were awful offensively in Week 8 as they totaled only 225 yards on 64 plays (3.5 per play). New York was terribly inefficient as they converted on only six of 16 third-downs and failed to convert on their one fourth down attempt.
In terms of each offensive department, the offensive line had easily their worst game of the season as they allowed five sacks for 29 yards and eight quarterback hits on the day. They failed to open any rushing lanes and were dominated at the line of scrimmage.
In terms of the rushing attack, the Giants failed miserably against the third-worst rushing defense in the NFL. Coming into this contest, Seattle had allowed 149.7 rushing yards per game. New York came into the game averaging 173.4 rushing yards per game but only reached 78 yards total on 2.8 yards per carry.
Saquon Barkley had his worst game of the season as he totaled 53 rushing yards and one touchdown on 2.7 yards per carry.
The passing attack was just as bad for the Giants as Daniel Jones only passed for 176 yards on the game much of which came in garbage time. He failed to be much of a threat on the ground either as he only totaled 20 yards rushing on six attempts.
While Jones did not play his best game, he was not the reason the Giants lost and desperately needs help from his receiving core. The Giants need to make moves during the bye week and before the trade deadline to beef up this offense as they attempt to make the playoffs.
