History shows it gets worse for Giants...

[dogunwo]

In the last four seasons (including this current season) the Giants are an impressive 21-11 in the first eight games of the season. The second half? The G-Men are a a lousy 6-21 with five games left of this season. Let's make it 6-22. Giants are classic 2nd half meltdown team. All this time I thought it was the Vikings.

It's called no depth.

It's because the receivers train in Florida. They can't handle NY in the winter. They're like the Dolphins a few years back. Start hot, and then play your winter games against division rivals like Buffalo, NY and NE in their house.

It's not. But I decided to have a theory about this.

This may be a stretch, but maybe Eli gets tired as the season wears on. He may have not made the adjustment from the 11-12 game college season to the grueling NFL season which is 16 weeks long, plus a seven week pre-season/training camp.

Could be but as you say I think that is a stretch.

Surely he would have made that transition by now.

That normally just happens in a rookie year or first full time starting year.

Its ALOT more than that.... they simply fold and Eli gets worse for wear as season goes on and things tighten up and competition gets REAL DEAL.

do these numbers coincide with Tom Chokelin arriving??????

Here's hoping that this trend continues.

Eli needs to hit the weight room in a bad way. His body seems to wear down near the end of the season, and adding a solid 10-20 lbs of muscle would help solve the problem. Anyone that has watched him in the past couple years should know it.

In defense of the Giants, they've been hit hard by injuries the past few years. Now, I guess you can blame it on conditioning....but they've had some tough breaks over the years.

he needs more stamina not muscle

Manning needs more steel in the spine not muscle in the butt.

One of the positions they're deepest at is one of the problems they're having right now. Remember when everyone laughed at them for drafting Kiwanuka in the first round because they already had Strahan, Osi, and Tuck? Those 3 are/were all hurt and they were forced to start DT William Joseph at DE the last couple of weeks.

Blowing that 21 point lead with under 10 minutes and the Titans not having ANY momentum until (Fill in blank here_______________) had nothing to do with injuries.

Every team suffers from injuries. Thats why Parcells is so focused on developing the bottom of the roster with talent, so that the injury excuse is less of an excuse.
