A STEP BACK

      The Giants took a major step backward Sunday afternoon losing to the Dallas Cowboys.  It was the same old story unfortunately.  Too many penalties and at the worst possible times.  No pressure on the QB.  Long third conversions given up by the defense.  Turnovers and turnovers for points by the other team.  Poor communication and mistakes by the players executing the game plan.

     The team needs to stick together.  The team needs to listen to the coaches.  This team needs to execute and execute on a high level on a consistent basis.  They still have all the weapons.  They still have a scary defense. They still have a good scheme.  This team needs to take itself seriously and start punishing people again.  The Cowboy game was a clear example of having no sense of urgency.  They should have  beaten this team by 10 points minimum, and yet they shot themselves in the foot repeatedly and beat themselves by 13!

The Eagles on Sunday Night Football for the Division Lead this week.  Not the best position to leave yourself, but these are the Giants, and nothing has come easy to them since the second half of 1986.

Back Friday with a preview and injury update.  Wide Out Derik Hagan was resigned this morning.
