What Is Wrong With The Offense?

True, Brunell has looked inconsistent, but so has the offensive line.

Thoughts?

The Giants' offense controlled time of possession and score more times than not on offense (albeit mostly field goals.) Anytime a team's offense can keep the ball the majority of the time, and put up points on most of those possession, they're usually going to win. It takes the other team out of their gameplan.

Control the ball? Hell, they didn't punt until the 4th quarter.

The ideal situation is to control the ball against every team you play, but unfortunately it's easier said than done. I can't remember the last time we were able to play a ball control game against the Giants.
