The Giants still cannot beat a running team.
————–

Thankfully, we don’t face another one the rest of the year. And the spoilers Week 17 feature a guy with fumbilitis.

It’s hard to fault Brees’ ints over the last few games when he’s been bailing the defense out every game since he’s been a Saint.

The defense gave the Giants the ball on the Saints 45, 35, the 20 and the 22 yesterday?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that was the Drew Brees led offense that gave the ball to the Giants deep in Saints territory 4 times, leading to 24 points.

When Drew and company set up the Giants offense with a short field and put their defensive teammates right back on the field with little or no rest – it doesn’t make sense to lay the blame of the defense.

Brees has thrown 9 INT’s in the last 3 games – funny thing – they lost all 3 games. And of course it was all the defenses fault (sarcasm).

NO defense isn’t good, but Brees has been as much of the problem as anyone else on the team “in the last few games”…

Patrick Robinson, Johnny Patrick, Malcolm Jenkins, Roman Harper, as well as our Special Teams coach, on the other hand, all need to be shown the door as soon as the offseason gets here. Time after the time we gave the Giants great field position to get an easy score due to terrible ST coverages and ultimately handing them the game. Those 4 clowns in the secondary mentioned are the main reason why we’re 5-8. Even if Goodell didn’t unjustly take our season away by suspending Payton the entire year, I’m still not sure we would’ve had a legit chance to play at home for the SB since our DBs have constantly given up big plays all season long.

@wayupsouth – That decision stemmed from what happened the year before when all of their RBs were hurt by the end of the payoff game. They thought they were getting a durable RB with Ingram. Hasn’t panned out.

I was sitting there thinking this is great as the Giants were making plays and driving up the lead, then three minutes later the Saints were within 15 and had the ball.

The defense gave up some big plays but also made some big plays. I was quite impressed with Stevie Brown who just has a knack for making plays. Antrelle Rolle is a leader on the field who orchestrates a lot of plays and it was refreshing to see the Saints receive a smackdown from the Giants because in the past it was all New Orleans in this head-to-head battle.

The defense is another story. It’s always been bad, we just had Darren Sharper and Tracy Porter generating huge turnovers to mask it in the Superbowl year. They have so many 1st round and 2nd round picks on that defense that it’s mind-blogging how bad they are. Mickey Loomis is great at evaluating offensive talent(Graham, Evans, Colston etc. in late rounds) but is apparently really bad at defense.
