The Giants managed to ruin yet another Sunday in New York yesterday. The Offense committed 6 turnovers, leaving the Defense to defend short fields and get no rest while they played over 37 minutes of the game. The Giants have left themselves in a very precarious position.
The Packers on the other hand played great. They made every tough catch, recovered most of their own fumbles, and managed to take advantage of the Giants Defense by utilizing quick counts, and even quicker passes. This is the recipe for defeating pressure and the Pack have all the talent needed to execute that plan. The Giants admittedly were late in getting aligned, and also were caught switching looks at the snap.
The offense is a mess. The O-Line should never have been switched back to the "regular" five just because they seemed to be healthy. The receivers continue to work, but they are clearly not on the same page as Eli when it comes to adjustments. The running backs unfortunately fell back into their careless handling of the ball, and that all led to disaster.
So, now we need help. This is always a strange time of year as fans need to root for others they would normally despise. It starts with rooting for the Eagles Tuesday night to defeat Minnesota, thus forcing Chicago to play hard in Green Bay next weekend. The rest of the scenario goes like this:
The Giants MUST defeat the Washington Redskins in Maryland next Sunday at 4:00 Eastern, that coupled with any of the following gets us a spot in the playoffs.
A Green Bay Loss or tie to Chicago
New Orleans loses tonight to Atlanta AND next week to Tampa Bay
or the always improbable...NYG tie with a GB loss and a TB tie or loss
It's that simple...we need help!

I'm with you, I hate needing help. Backs to the wall, we'll see what the team is made of. The Philly collapse still bothers me more. I don't know why. The inner zen is... who knows.
(let's see if this post shows up. Last ones haven't)
