Randle fumbling right at the goal line was awful, and some of Eli's throws were inexplicably bad. It's baffling that a team with so many offensive weapons makes me audibly say "ah shit" whenever they get inside the 20 yard line. But still, a lot would have had to go right to come away with a win against that Denver team. No pass rush - no chance.

Again the good news is that the entire division looks iffy, so there's plenty of time to sort shit out. But in all honesty, both sides of the line have looked SO bad. This could finally be the year the Giants just flat out suck.

That's not me trying to be pessimistic Vito Cruz, either. The reality is this team hasn't had a losing season since 2004. Despite missing the playoffs 3 out of the last 4 years, they've still been a lot more consistent than most teams in the league - and I'll always be grateful for 2 Super Bowls in a 4 year span. But it's really hard to stay at that level for such a long time without having to take a step back and recharge every few years. Just look at the Steelers who seem like they'll be in the same boat.
