Home today, so I get to write a bit about the Giants. Once again the Giants played poorly against a weakened foe on the road. This time it was the defense being exposed, as I had feared before the game. The Giants defense made the battered Eagles offense look like a bunch of all-pros. It does not bode well for the Giants at this time of year.
On top of that, some scary injuries - Pettigut and McKenzie - then Pierce ... also William Josephs again (but I'm not sure the Giants aren't better off with him out). None look too threatening, but it still has to be a concern.
The offense again sputtered - three interceptions - a pattern developing at the wrong time of year. Tiki had good stats but really was getting very tough yards - in fact many of those yards were pure toughness by Tiki.
I'm also very concerned about Plaxico and his ability not to get frustrated. Nothing I've seen on the field or read... but I have this sense that frustration, anger, or whatever could be building since he is no longer the hero he was earlier in the season (not really his fault, but...)
So, these Giants showed me they are not yet ready for prime time. The rest of the season, how they play will be almost as important as the wins - since if they don't get back on track, it won't matter much when they get knocked out in the first round of the playoffs.
