Its Brunell, he stinks! 109yds passing WTF? He is so inconsistent and no defense is afraid he is gonna air it out, cause he cant anymore. He probably should have had 2-3 picks, and just put up and ugly display, its going to be an ebarrasing work week.

I agree with Matty. I would appreciate it if so many people didn't appear idiotic in relation to Mark Brunell. I felt the play-calling was atrocious on offense. And if you saw the replays, it appeared the receivers were covered, which supports my claim of bad play-calling. If the Giants have a good run defense and a poor pass defense you shouldn't start out by establishing the run. You should do some short passes to loosen them up and then go for the run.

That being said, the biggest disaster area was the DBs. Perhaps they can line up within 100 yards of the line of scrimmage. As it was, they allowed conversions for almost all 3rd down conversions by lining up so far from the line of scrimmage. And by playing so far off of the line of scrimmage, they eliminated themselves from any reasonable run support. So whomever decided that they should play so far off the line is the goat of the week. Note that they did well in the red zone as well as the end of the game, when they didn't play as far off the line. It's awful when the other team doesn't need to punt until the 4th quarter. Up 'til now, Eli has the biggest yardage numbers of the week!

1. Oline. They were the heroes last week and crap today.
2. Carlos Rogers. Soft coverage. Dropped INT. Poor angles and tackling. Good thing he wasn't a top 10 pick...oops
3. Mark Foley

Seriously does Carlos Rodgers make any plays.

The goat is anyone who wears the Burgundy and Gold.

I'm putting this one on Tony Siragusa his irritating obvious statements had me distracted and I could recover and be the fan I know I can be. He's got in my head and for that I'm sorry

[saden1]

The coaching staff gets my vote. They simply didn't prepare the team and ready to win.

and im with mike poor play calling on offense i believe was a very big GOAT.

And if u put this on brunnell your probably a moron becuase he never had more then 3 secs to throw the damn ball. SO DRUMROLL.......................................... ........................

Nonesense, Brunell had plenty of time to throw for most of the game, it wasen't till late when the Giants knew we had to pass that they started to pin thier ears back and pressure him, bottom line he can't squeeze the ball in downfield, the one deep ball he threw late looked like a punt he put so much air under it.

Now he didn't have the kind of time Manning had, but most QB's only dream of that kind of time to throw.

[RedskinRat]

Start Campbell, now!

[offiss]

The game plan was atrousious, the Giants secondary is horrible and we come out running the ball, and we don't only run the ball but we run it right at thier strength thier D-ends.

Obviously Moss and co. can't get open against that stellar Giant secondary.

The most disgusting part of that entire game was late in the third we had a third and 1 around the Giants 20 yard line and we deciede to throw it, no play action pass just another short pass to Cooley who I might add was double covered, but Brunell in his infinite fear of getting hit throws it to him anyway with no one around him, why would he make that throw? Because if he has to take the time to find another reciever that might give the D enough time to come free and hit him and we can't have that. Then the dumbest move of the day, we deciede to kick a fieldgoal, which would still leave us down by 2 scores, taking into account how poorly we have been playing I think the no brainer is to go for it there, unfortunatly we do not believe that a 52 million dollar back is capable of gaining 1 yard with 2 down's to go, let alone on 4th down. I can't remember the last time we ran for a first down on third down with more than a yard to go.

[redsk1]

The whole team was bad. Everyone. The line actually played ok for a good majority of the game.

W/ that being said, yea the qb steps up on championship caliber teams. Brunell can't step up and make plays consistently. Everyone shares blame in this one though.

How can a recieving corp of Moss, Randel el, LLoyd, Cooley not be open against one of the worst secondaries in the nfl? I don't get it.

What's so aggravating is they looked spectacular against supposedly one of the best defenses and defensive lines in the league last week. Brunell had all day against the Jaguars and barely had a stain on his jersey at the end of the day.

Maybe we just CANNOT win in NY. We usually never do.
