After winning the superbowl last season the New York Giants will not even be in the playoffs this season. Why? Where do I start? Maybe I can start with lack luster play from our defense (at all three levels), maybe I can go with injuries, or Tom Coughlin, who seemed a little soft this season on the gmen or better yet the inconsistencies of Eli Manning. Regardless of what the reason may be we just didn't play Giant football at all this season! Starting off with a loss to Dallas, losing to philly in week 4, winning 4 straight gms just to lose 5 of the last 8. In week 15 we were shut out by Atlanta (34-0) and blown out by Baltimore in week 16 (33-14). Eli Manning finishes the season with 3,740 pass yds, 21 TD, 15 INT (mediocre) and a passer rating of 83.6. Hakeem Nicks missed time with injuries to his foot and knee, he had 53rec for 692yds and 3TD's after recording 1192yds, 76rec 7TD's last season Victor Cruz receiving yds took a hit from last season as defenses had a season of tape on him, last season he had 82rec 1536recyds and 9TD's. This season he had the same amount of receptions and TD's, but fell in yds w/ 1,040. But to me the giants didn't succeed for 2 reasons, lack of focus and the defense formerly known as the real giants defense. The defense (our backbone) played uninspiring football all season. With only 32 sacks this season (the team had 48 sacks last season). Our team goes as our front four goes and we just didn't go at all. JPP w/ 16.5 sacks last season only racked a whopping 6.5 this yr. while the secondary had the same amount of INT'S as last season (20) I saw this secondary get beat beat beat and beat! Corey Webster should study some coverage books this off season because he was picked on all this year. The Giants finish 2012 at 9-7 which is extremely disappointing and I hope the guys upstairs are looking, and don't pull a new york jets...let's put better talent on the field next season and go get number 5 in franchise history.
