The Giants need to make some changes
"It wasn't good," Kubiak said of the Texans defense. "We'll have to take a hard look at what we're doing, how we're doing it and who we're doing it with. We've got a long way to go."
Let's hope that the Giants are taking an equally hard look at their defense. I know the Seahawks are better than the Redskins, but giving up 35 points in the first half is inexcusable.
Of course the NFL is a strange place. The Giants end up scoring 27 unaswered points in the 4th. They almost made a game out of it.
"Sometimes you're going to bend. And the important thing is not to break," Jets coach Eric Mangini said of his defense. "Obviously, we want to improve on the bending part." The Giants need to bend and break less in the first half. It looked (same as last week actually) like no one wanted to play football until after the half.
Clearly the Giants can play. Clearly we do have some talent. That's not enough unless we can solve the riddle of the past two weeks and put together 4 quarters of good football. At least Tom Coughlin is angry now during his press conference. He has to make some changes.
Posted by James Trotta at September 25, 2006 9:08 AMI have been a Giant fan for over forty years now . Todays game might be the worse defensive effort i have ever seen . Hasselback could have eaten his lunch back there .. without a worry .
The seattle recievers were so open five yards minimum between them and a Giant player (notice i dont use the term defensive back ). The Giants also need a specialist to teach them how to do a silent count or maybe ten hours or so of wathing peyton manning and the colts offensive line. I would chalk it up to inexperience but the most experienced guy is doing the most false starts.
Luckly the sports bars out here have all the games on tvs , shame when it gets so shoddy of play that i have to watch another game .
