It was a confluence of issues, like rolling the dice 4 times and having them come up snake eyes each time. Can't happen again -- that was the bottom of the barrel. It reminds me of the 2007 season before the Buffalo game... no one thought they were going anywhere after they lost to the Skins. The Giants are capable of playing great football, time to see it manifested on the field. I dont believe that. 4 separate drives with something that goes wrong each time is a bad day for anybody.

Last in red zone offense, last in red zone defense. There's no spark, no fire in this team. The defensive line is not the dominating force they should be. The secondary looks confused as evidenced by a number of wide open receivers due to blown coverages. is it the coaches fault or the players fault?, i believe both should accept the blame. The offensive line is not imposing its will on the opposing team. Jacobs is not punishing defenders, rather gets dropped, it seems, to easily when hitting the line.Manning will be Manning, a constant roller coaster ride of good and bad decisions. His play clock management is awful at times resulting in untimely delay of game calls. A burning question i have is Why haven't we seen Barden when we're in the red zone. i've heard he hasn't grasped all the nuances involved in the offense but how much schooling does he need to run a fade route. My god, the guy is tall enough,just get him in the end zone for a jump ball. Let's see what he can do. Up until the last couple of games you couldn't do any worse with him in the game in the red zone...I don't believe the defense is really behind Sheridan. I wonder if his play selection is partially to blame for the Giants poor showing on defense. In ending, i believe the Giants have lost their direction and their desire. Both coaches and players are to blame. Someone needs to step up and lead this team out of the black hole they seem to have fallen in....
