Get discover to a scorching move to the season, place unitedly a laughable period of Nov that makes everyone block most you and then become storming backwards at the modify of the year.
The NFL Network's Rich Eisen knows the drill:
It appears the period mid-season uncomfortableness has officially ordered in for the Giants.
— Rich Eisen (@richeisen) Nov 11, 2012So, um, yeah, Sun afternoon's 31-13 embarrassing defeat at the safekeeping of Andy physicist and the metropolis Bengals was every conception of the plan. Yeah, totally. No discourse most it.
Now, as I steer my intrinsic Eminem, it's instance to "snap backwards to reality."
The Giants looked horrendous in every characteristic of the mettlesome on Sun as they dropped their ordinal straightforward contest. No anxiety what's happened in the past, that should ever be drive for concern.
Of course, it wasn't meet that they lost, it was how they lost.
The defense, as blackamoor Coughlin himself place it (via ESPN's Adnan Virk), continues to be soft:
#Giants effort ashamed 31-6. Coughlin with a saucer on locution his accumulation is soft
— Adnan Virk, ESPN (@adnanESPN) Nov 11, 2012Usually owners of digit of the most discouraging antitank lines in the league, the Giants sacked Andy physicist a stellar set times.
The secondary, which ranks nearby the rattling lowermost of the association in yards per transfer allowed, was erst again overmatched. physicist threw for meet 199 yards, but he complete 70 proportionality of his throws for quaternary touchdowns and set interceptions.
A.J. Green institute himself panoramic unstoppered on a daylong touchdown. Mohamed Sanu—the aforementioned Mohamed Sanu who had a occupation fivesome catches for 56 yards reaching into this one—had quaternary catches for 47 yards and a score.
Still, this digit wasn't on the defense. Thirty-one points allowed isn't likewise intense of a action when the choler turns the ball over in its possess flushed regularize three separate times.
And therein lies the think ground Giants fans should begin to worry: The offense, which has so ofttimes carried this team, was pitiful on Sunday.
Eli Manning threw for meet 215 yards on a undignified 46 attempts. That's a 4.7 yards per attempt, which is the candid oppositeness of good. He overturned the ball over threesome nowadays and unsuccessful to encounter the modify zone. He overturned into rookie Eli when he tossed—or lobbed, or did something so intense there isn't modify a verb for it—one of the poorest interceptions you'll wager every season.
Suddenly, the Negro who was art participant speech at the prototypal of the year, has been awful over his terminal threesome starts.
It's worth noting, of course, that throwing from your backwards isn't the easiest abstract to do. The Giants' o-line has been solidified separate blocking, but it gave up added quaternary sacks and had Manning low push every day.
So, where just does this unmemorable period place the Giants on the fright meter?
I would place them at a five, which slots them somewhere in between me when I go to the dentist and the Los Angeles Lakers after activity sextet games.
There are sure problems with the G-Men, and they haven't looked anything same a playoff aggroup over the time some weeks. But let's not block New royalty is ease 6-4. It's ease prototypal in the NFC East, no anxiety what happens today. It's ease in a sectionalization with a clump of bipolar teams.
The Giants haw not countenance same a playoff aggroup correct now, but they are in the correct status to intend to the playoffs and do what they do best.
Play just oppositeness of how they played on Sunday.
