A Giant Headache

Giants, that's it. I am done with you (of course I'm not, but it sounds good).

Another blown game, in the wake of Odell Beckham Jr. blowing a lot of hot air and the inability to maintain the intensity needed to protect a 16-point lead. Incredible, what a collapse.

Eli has been putting up good numbers and Saquon Barkley is a revelation, but the Giants need to go in a different direction, one that wins games, something they have not done since winning a Super Bowl eight years ago.

This in a year when the NFL is garbage, when the best team in the league wins a game in which it gives up 51 points.

In regulation.

Speaking of giving up points, did anyone watch the 7-overtime LSU-Texas A&M monstrosity? Because that's what it was.

When you play a game elongated to that length, someone is likely to get hurt. All this at a time when the game says it is dedicated to preventing injuries. I'm sorry, but someone gets hurt in a 7-overtime, 74-72  decision.

There is nothing wrong with a tie. If you play 60 minutes and are all tied up, that is just fine. Shake hands and go home.

The NFL does after an additional period if the teams are still all tied up (hear that, Donovan McNabb?).

And I am sick of the way DBs play pass defense. No one plays the ball anymore. They just follow their man and hope they can anticipate when the ball is coming in so they can stick a hand in and deflect it away. Usually, guys who do that get beat on the play or surrender a pass interference penalty.

It's sickening.

And the worst part is they are being coached to play defense like that. And when they get lucky enough to stick a hand in and luckily poke a ball away, the announcers call it a great play. I call that not-so-great announcing and analysis.

Now, back to my original point. The NY Giants cannot protect their lunches, let alone their leads in a game. Time for a different direction. When you are worse than the Cleveland Browns, you have a problem.

A very big problem.

Did I mention it's sickening?
