after Giants’ 33-18 loss to Saints What were players talking about after the New York Giants lost to the New Orleans Saints 33-18 on Sunday? Let’s go inside the locker room and find out.Landon Collins said it was “hard” to accept the outcome after the defense played well much of the game ....“At the same time though http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/will-hernandez-jersey , we have to continue working and staying loyal to this team and by playing together, we’re going to figure it out. We have all the keys, we have all of the weapons, we just have to put it all out there.”Alec Ogletree on the officiating ...“Honestly, I think it’s basically they’re worried about reffing in the Super Bowl game. If you ask them why they call a call, they tell you they wouldn’t make that call in the Super Bowl. I think that’s bad. That’s bad all around. “That’s definitely what was explained to me that you wouldn’t make that call in the Super Bowl and I don’t think that’s right. I think you should call the game as it’s being played and if you do that, everything will work itself out.”New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore on Odell Beckham Jr. ...“Our goal was to take him out of the game. I’m pretty sure he was in the game -- he’s Odell Beckham. We always try to take him out the game. We did a good job of that today and we got the win.”Lattimore on taking the deep ball away from the Giants ...“We were playing aggressive, we just didn’t let them do it. It’s not like we were playing pretty good defense and not letting the ball over our heads. We were playing man http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/b.j.-goodson-jersey , but we just switched it up in between calls. I feel like we did a pretty good job of just staying on top and doing our thing. They went deep, but it wasn’t there.”Cornerback Donte Deayon on a pass interference call against him on a third-and-8 with 2:34 that gave the Saints, leading 26-18, a first down rather than forcing them to punt.“I was out there competing. I thought I got there the same time the ball did. I got up, I saw the flag, and they called P.I. It was what it was,” Deayon said. “It was pretty deflating. You’re trying to get the ball back for our offense, and they call a pass interference http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-aldrick-rosas-jersey , and it negates all of that. So, it was pretty deflating.”Eli Manning on Sunday’s loss ...“Tonight was a frustrating one. We got off to a good start and had a good drive. We were moving the ball and making plays on this team but we just weren’t able to do it. We got into some third and longs that we didn’t convert on. They had some good calls and some good plays. They weren’t going to give us anything deep. They took away all the deep stuff and made us go underneath. That was fine. We were going to just have to have some long drives and continue to play that way. There was a few times where they knocked us out of some good down and distance and we weren’t able to sustain some drives.”Manning on dealing with the soft zone the Saints played ...“There are different ways, you just have to find completions. There are holes and it is just a matter of timing. The right plays and the right types of zones. Just mix in some three and some two. You just have to be patient some times and work the middle of the field and work underneath. Just get in some good down and distance. You just have to keep playing that way. There is also some opportunities to have some big plays also. In a short week and in the rain, the New York Giants played host to bitter NFC East rivals the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night. With their season hanging in the balance — or at the very least their ability to be competitive in the division — the Giants just couldn’t match up in any phase of the game. New York is now 1-5 on the season. Things started poorly for the Giants offense, with Eli Manning picked off by Eagles linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill on his second throw of the game. That led to a Carson Wentz touchdown pass to Alshon Jeffery. The Giants then found themselves down 14-3 by the end of the first quarter, with the Eagles’ second score coming via a 1-yard run by Corey Clement on a drive born of a short Riley Dixon punt.With an early deficit to overcome, the Giants reverted to the mean, with Manning throwing short passes at or behind the line of scrimmage and punts being the most frequent end to their offensive drives. Manning was often under pressure http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-janoris-jenkins-jersey , but the conservative offensive approach the Giants took in response didn’t yield many positive results. Most of Manning’s deep deep attempts weren’t on target either.The Giants converted only four of their 14 third downs (their first since Week 4) and reached the red zone three times. Twice in the first half, Saquon Barkley tallied huge gains to get them into scoring position, but both appearances resulted in Aldrick Rosas field goals and not much-needed touchdowns. Once Wentz connected with tight end Zach Ertz for a 10-yard touchdown near the end of the first half, the Giants’ fate was seemingly sealed. That was followed by a Jake Elliot field goal that put the Giants down 24-6 at halftime. Jeffery had another touchdown grab in the second half. While Barkley’s third big play of the night was a 50-yard scoring run in the third quarter, the Eagles already had 31 points to their name. They added three more in the form of an Elliott field goal, while the Giants fell silent. There was to be no big comeback to make the game competitive at the end as there was against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5.Manning completed 24 of his 43 pass attempts for 281 yards, zero scores and one interceptions. He was also sacked four times and hit 13 times. Barkley surpassed the 100-yards from scrimmage mark for the sixth consecutive week by rushing 13 times for 130 yards and a score and catching nine passes for 99 yards. He had the best plays of the game for New York’s offense, the first Color Rush Riley Dixon Jersey , a 46-yard run in the first quarter:And the second, for a catch-and-run for 55 yards, in the second quarter:His third was a 50-yard third quarter touchdown run to bring the game to 31-13 in favor of the Eagles:Beckham had six catches on 10 targets for 44 yards. He also muffed a punt return in the second quarter that he managed to recover and walked to the locker room prior to halftime despite the Giants offense still being on the field.Defensively, the Giants appeared to give up in the second half. In total, they allowed 379 yards to the Eagles offense, with Wentz completing 26 of his 36 pass attempts for 278 yards and three scores. Pressure wasn’t an issue; Wentz was hit five times but only sacked once.Moments that matteredFIRST DRIVE TURNOVER: A tipped pass intended for tight end Scott Simonson on Eli Manning’s second throw of the game was intercepted by Eagles linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill. Three plays later, the Eagles reached the red zone, with Carson Wentz connecting with Alshon Jeffery for a touchdown. Manning was also lucky not to lose a fumble on a sack later in the first quarter; Nate Solder recovered the ball at New York’s one-yard line.BIG GAINS FOR BARKLEY: The Giants’ best plays on offense came via Barkley. His 46-yard run and his 55-yard after-catch master class alone put him over the 100-all-purpose-yardage mark for the sixth straight week and he added another 50-yard rushing touchdown. He is the second rookie in NFL history to earn 100 or more yards in his first six career games and ended the night with a combined 229 yards rushing and receiving.GAME-BREAKING PLAY: Late in the second quarter Color Rush Landon Collins Jersey , Eagles receiver Nelson Agholor broke away from coverage for a 58-yard gain. That set up a 10-yard touchdown to tight end Zach Ertz, which extended their lead too far for the Giants to catch up.QUIET NIGHT FOR ODELL: Beckham was held to just six catches on his 10 targets for 44 yards, his longest gain totaling 12 yards.MANNING UNDER PRESSURE: Manning was under pressure throughout the contest, taking four sacks and 13 total hits.Injury updatesLinebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong was ruled out with a concussion. He was injured covering the kickoff to open the second half.Receiver Cody Latimer was ruled out with a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter.What’s next?The Giants travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons for Week 7’s Monday Night Football matchup. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET.
