hard to argue but Casssel is a 3rd stringer at best

I have to disagree. The three of them combined today. Let's see some defensive turnovers at some point before we absolve them of any responsibility for helping the team win with Romo out.

When your starting QB is out, you need your D to give your offense a short field on occasion or maybe score some points.

Yeah, they did a decent job today, but they have to help out when we're so depleted on one side of the ball and they just haven't done enough.

We're garbage in all 3 phases right now.

Don't defend this D that hasn't forced ONE freaking turnover since Week 2.

Other teams lose their QBs and have other units step up. Colts won without Luck, Steelers won without Ben.

Instead, our D refuses to make any big plays and our ST killed us in the 4th quarter.

Casell always have these type of games, just unlucky that it was in a very winnable one.

Hard for the Defense to win a game when the offense and Special Teams do everything to lose it for you.


Disgust

Turnovers and horrible Special Teams, almost no one wins under those circumstances. If Romo and Dez are healthy we win this game by 14 points but that is no excuse, they would have won if they executed.

They didn't. They lost. Ugly, ugly game.

Ya bad thing is we still had many chances but 4th quarter was terrible. Cassell throwing 3 interceptions in 5 attempts is beyond excusable. They kept playing with fire with that Williams comeback route but he doesn't come back to the ball.

I still rather have Cassell then Weeden, we were able to run cause we tested down field. Some were caught, some dropped, and an interception but giants defense couldn't cheat up.

I refuse to give up and hopefully another week of practice for Cassell plus maybe getting Dez back might tilt the offense in better ball control. We control the time of position and ran effectively. Defense played really well other then maybe 2-3 big plays.

Special teams really needs to get it together. Beasley should not be the point returner period. Let Lucky return all kicks

The Giants win but stink. So do the Eagles and Commanders. If we could just get focused, we can win the division. But geez, how do we lose this easy of a game?
