http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/patrick-omameh-jersey , the more things stay the same. Again the New York Giants’ offense failed to show up in a 20-13 loss to the Washington Redskins. The loss drops the Giants to 1-7 while the win brings the NFC East-leading Redskins to 5-2.In the first game after a few trades and roster moves, the Giants defense played relatively well. There were some stumbles, but the unit limited the Washington offense and kept the score close until late in the game.Meanwhile the offense was again anemic as Eli Manning was sacked seven times in addition to throwing two interceptions.Saquon Barkley again had a bigger impact as a receiver (73 yards on nine receptions) than as a runner (38 yards on 13 carries). He again surpassed 100 yards from, scrimmage, his seventh-time this season. Odell Beckham added a big play or two — 136 yards on eight receptions — but he wasn’t always the focal point of the offense when it mattered. The offense couldn’t move the ball consistently and faltered in the red zone until a meaningless score at the end of the game — a two-yard touchdown to Evan Engram with 17 seconds remaining.Moments that matteredThe scoring for the game opened with a seven-yard touchdown reception from Adrian Peterson with a broken tackle along the way.Later in the second quarter http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/kareem-martin-jersey , the Giants had a chance to tie the game, but Eli Manning threw an interception after not seeing safety D.J. Swearinger stay with Odell Beckham.Missed opportunities: The interception was a killer inside the red zone and the Giants got back late in the fourth quarter, but failed to score a touchdown from the 3-yard line. Instead of aggressively going for it and trying to get the game within a field goal, the Giants kicked and stayed down by a touchdown. It turned into another touchdown when Adrian Peterson ran for a 64-yard touchdown on the next drive.Line problems: The offensive line was again a problem despite the changes in the lineup. Manning was sacked seven times, though not all were on the line. Some were due to bad route combinations downfield http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/aldrick-rosas-jersey , some were due to poor pocket presence of the quarterback. Still, there were little signs of optimism for this line going forward for the rest of the season.Injury news: Chad Wheeler left the game with an ankle injury and did not return. He was replaced by Brian Mihalik at right tackle. The severity of the injury is unknown.What’s next?The trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, so if there will be any more trades, they will be done by that time.The Giants have a bye in Week 9 and that could be a time the team starts to consider some more changes to the lineup. They’ll even have an extra day with the next game coming on Monday Night Football in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers.Giants news, 9/12: Olivier Vernon expected to practice on Wednesday Olivier Vernon http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/will-hernandez-jersey , the star linebacker who missed the New York Giants’ season-opening game vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars with an ankle injury, will practice on Wednesday. Coach Pat Shurmur dropped that encouraging bit of news during an appearance Tuesday afternoon on WFAN.Vernon is the Giants’ best pass rusher. Without him on Sunday, the Giants only sacked Jaguars’ quarterback Blake Bortles once and Bortles often had ample time to survey the field for open targets.The defense did, however, play well overall. The Jacksonville offense scored just 13 points http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/b.j.-goodson-jersey , none in the second half.More headlinesLegendary former Giant Michael Strahan, a Hall of Famer, said Tuesday that if he were playing today he would have joined players who have knelt for the national anthem.
