Ironically

PrintThe player I trust the least was the most trustworthy tonight. Tynes did what he was supposed to do, even kicked off into the endzone for once and we couldn't even cover that one reasonably. Maybe it was because we're not used to him kicking it that deep.
Notes for the defense:
Tackling is important, and we didn't do it. Being in the correct position defensively is important; again, we didn't do it. Getting pressure on and through the opposing offense is important, and we didn't do it. Challenging the opposing offense is important, and we didn't do it. Yes we had a number of good plays, a small number. Good job on those. To me, the stupid penalties offset these. Personally, I was embarrassed as we couldn't even stop their token runs at the end of the first half when they were just trying to run out the clock. They ran when they wanted to and passed when they wanted to with success. Really the only thing that stopped them was themselves. Sad to say.
Notes for the offense:
Scoring TDs instead of field goals is important, and we didn't do it. FYI, penalties against you make your team go backwards. Running the ball was once a staple of our team. We didn't (or couldn't) do it. Holding on to the ball is important, and we didn't do it. FYI, having a sustained drive is not only important in helping us demoralize the opposing defense, but it also gives our defense a rest. I'm not sure of the numbers, but I'll bet our defense was on the field more than the offense in the first half alone.
What DID we do? Not hard to figure out that we just didn't do much at all tonight.
At least I am thankful today. Thankful that this game is over.
Problem is, I'm feeling more and more like this defense is, too.
Trust me, I'd rather be proven wrong.

It really sucks
that we played worse than the Lions and Raiders. I believe either of those teams could have beat us tonight. The team played with no heart what so ever. Kudos and Wet Willies should be real easy tomorrow.
Kudos…Tynes…..2 for 2 including a 52 yarder. Also kudos to the clock for finally ticking down to zero.
Wet Willies to the entire offense, defense and special teams (excluding Tynes).
I have a bad feeling that Dallas is going to blow the doors off Giants Stadium next week.
Yeah, forgot to say that...
Minus one offensive drive and one defensive stand, it looked to me like we played with no heart and very little sense of urgency throughout.
We didn't even have a chance for the "perfect season", but we did have the perfect ending.
#1 problem with this team? Tackling on defense. Its horrendous.
- problem? Brandon Jacobs. Bouncing runs to the outside when the hole is there for him to cut up the middle?
For real…I’d cut this MFer. He’s wasting his talent.
Yes, I’m pissed right now and get a gut full of food and beer…but that is the fact on Jacobs right now. This is the reason why he sucks right now.
He’s not hurt. He’s not “shot”.
He got his money and is not running hard anymore.

that 1. is supposed to read #2.

You and me see eye to eye on this Free.
Jacobs pissed me off today, he just ran like a bitch.
I don’t care if Danny Ware put the ball on the ground, at least he hit the holes with some authority. Next week, I really don’t care who it is, but I’d rather see anyone than #27 in the backfield.

It seems so negative, doesn't it?
But honestly, there just wasn’t much positivity that we could conjure up about this game.
We didn't even have a chance for the "perfect season", but we did have the perfect ending.
And the word for the game is:
execrable ,
Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: horrible, sickening
Synonyms: abhorrent, abominable, accursed, atrocious, confounded, cursed, damnable, defective, deplorable, despicable, detestable, disgusting, foul, hateful, heinous, horrific, loathsome, low, monstrous, nauseous, obnoxious, odious, offensive, repulsive, revolting, vile, wretched
Yeh, that sums it up.
We didn't even have a chance for the "perfect season", but we did have the perfect ending.
Spot on.

pathetic
to those who said that this was the most incredibly heartless, fireless, pathetic, sleepwalking display, I say amen. The Giants made no effort to win this game whatsoever and played like they could not care less. PerhapsNYBaseballGiants is correct that the Coughlin staff is no longer reaching this team.
You play to win the game!
