A year ago, Giants running back David Wilson found himself in the doghouse after a fumble in the opener.

This year, they can’t afford give him that treatment.

With Ahmad Bradshaw a Colt and Andre Brown on short-term IR, the Giants almost have no choice but to stick with Wilson, but he’s far from the only problem so far.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning threw a Sanchez-ian pick to DeMarcus Ware on a screen pass on their first drive, leading to a Cowboys field goal and a 3-0 lead on Sunday Night Football. And he just followed with another pick to Will Allen.

It’s certainly an unusual start for the Giants, who haven’t lost in the Cowboys’ new building.
