Our defense concerns me way more. True they tightened up a good deal in the redzone but we got schooled. Our line got basically no pressure from the front four alone. Wasn't ALbert brought here to create that? What the hell happened to anyone else being able to handle their blocker one-on-one? More concerning though was what looked to be an inability to adequately cover their shit WRs. I know Manning had a little more time than we'd like but plain and simple they had guys wide open a lot. Whether that is play or scheme I couldn't tell but I am betting it is a little of both. Our defense didn't look out of sync. It looked downright ordinary. That is bad news.

I agree about the defense needing more pressure on the QB, but Haynesworth got some really good push several times, including the 4th and 1 stop on Jacobs down by the goal line. Without him they score a TD on that drive.

Keep in mind the Giants have arguably the best O-line in the game. I know you have to beat the best to be the best, but still. Lets see how the D-line/pass rush looks the next 5 weeks when we play lesser teams than the Giants.
