The Giants are damn lucky. 55 yard FG down the middle hits the cross bar and one 60 yard pass and we lose. Dak was off and Dez was awful but the real issue was the play calling. This will get fixed. We were bound to lose one and we only lost 10-7. Zeke was great, we just quit feeding him. Giants aren't that good, we just had a bad night. Get off the ledge

I agree, we're still 11-2 and in control. The Giants had our number this year but we'll be fine. We weren't going to win out and I'd rather lose now than in the playoffs.

We'll be fine, like Cincycowboy said, let's step away from the ledge. I know it's easy to over react since it's been so long since we lost we forgot how it feels. But we're still the team to beat in the NFC.

Also two years ago didn't we sweep the division and I'm seeing the Giants fans trash talking. Tell ya what, if we play well vs Tampa next week, all these chicken littles better not say nothing.

agreed. we played outright horrible. and i think horrible is too nice. yet we only lost by 3.

it baffles me how when games were close (philly, wash, vikings, pitts) dak was struggling but "hes a winner , he made the important throws when needed"

today he plays bad and we lose. and he should be benched. some fans are truly bipolar. its even crazier bc we are 11-2.

I agree about the play calling. I'm still scratching my head. We need more patience with the running game. Stick with it instead of being predictable and one dimensional. I know we were in 3rd and longs, but we were throwing on 1st and 2nd down and still ending up in 3rd and long. When Dunbar comes on the field, they know it's a pass. Back to the drawing board. Oh and Dak needs to get that swag back.

Tampa is playing well and so are the Lions. This is a tough stretch (including Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington and Minnesota) that hopefully gets them prepared for the playoff atmosphere and intensity.

I never bought into Linehan being a "great playcaller". He is just ok to me. Meaning when a play works, it's a good call, and when it doesn't, we say it's bad. Execution is the key.

What scares me is we've seen this same defensive gameplan over the years and it's like we never correct our mistake.

Just blitz the heck out of Dallas and press the coverage while our routes take ages to develop.

Me either.

He's got some great toys to play with.

I was shocked on the T. Will TD and I've been more shocked this year than ever with some of his playcalls but this team should never have a game like they did tonight.

I'm okay with a loss because this team needs to re-focus. HFA and the NFCE is ours to lose. Personally, I want the Giants in the playoffs. We'll kick their butts next time. Our D put this game in the O's hands tonight and the O failed.....miserably.....Good teams will come back pissed. Lets see what these guys are made of.....

I thought we were in good shape for Tampa. I thought this could be a nice, under the radar 12:00 ct game we needed to get back on track!

I just checked to make sure it was 12:00 game, and I see the game has been ,flexed'.

We're doomed.

We always seem to have one kryptonite that we can't overcome. You know the, blue jerseys, Aikman and Buck....

Well this season it has been Colinsworth and Al Michaels.Dak worst performances have been with these guys in the building.

Add in this young and talented defense will get even more juice from this prime time setting and i don't like our odds now.

What I wouldn't do for a noon start!

Get ready Romoites... your day is coming

There was nothing lucky about this. They held us to 7 points. We had a shot to get 3 extra points, our money kicker couldn't make a 55 yarder. They prevented us from getting it closer.

Our offense sucked, our D played it's best game and we couldn't win. How anyone is not worried about this is beyond me.

The positive for me was the D, I know NY doesn't have a great offence but usually, this defence makes bad offences better, but not tonight...something tells me no matter how many first rounds we spend on this offence as long as Garret is here we'll aways have winnable games we end up losing. If we invested these first round picks on defensive talent for Marinelli...look what he's done with limited talent.
I'm hoping this game is the start of a bunch of less talented players are really beginning to gel and become a good consistent defence, give me a similar defensive game like this next week and we're 12-2...

We're going to be fine guys. It's only one bad game. I firmly believe every team has 3-5 "bad games". So,etimes you win these types of games and sometimes you lose them. We've had 2 bad games in a row, one we won and the other we lost.

It's all good. We'll be good. This loss doesn't define our season.

Exactly, I won't be worried unless we drop another egg vs Tampa Bay, but I'm confident we'll win next week and the world will be right again.
