The Giants Remind Everyone They Are Not A Very Good Team After Puking All Over Themselves In An Absolutely Putrid Loss Against The Saints
You know what? We probably needed that game. I definitely didn't want to watch a game like that. But I think we all needed a reminder that this Giants team is rotten at its core, no matter how much swagger our quarterback, running back, and defensive line may have.
Because despite all that aura or whatever it is called these days, there are simply too many players that make too many mistakes and play too sloppy to win a game on the road in a tough environment. The Saints are by no means a good team. But they are a team that kept some games close and were dying to erase the 0 from their win column in a game they saw as extremely winnable against a team that couldn't give it away enough.
Darius Slayton can say all the right things to reporters. But he has been murdering us with big mistakes in huge spots forever and now has a $36 million contract for his work. The defense actually held the Saints to only one touchdown, but that one touchdown was a real punch in the dick that erased the good vibes from the Giants actually scoring touchdowns on their first two drives. Of course Jaxson Dart has to stop throwing picks and dropping fumbles without being hit, but I'll give the rookie making his first start on the road a little bit of leeway today.
I said if the Giants weren't going to be good, at least they might be fun. But today they were neither as Big Blue once again needs better offensive weapons around their QB and better play out of the back seven for the millionth year in a row. Shout out to Joe Schoen and the front office for that!
Luckily for the Giants, they have a prime time game on a short week coming up against an Eagles team that just lost. I can't wait for all the joys that come with those types of game every fucking year.
