And some of us think that Lavao and Lichtensteiger going down had a negative effect on the running game. If I remember correctly, the timing of their injuries matched the decline of run production. And Long and Rib were not the quality replacement we needed. Do we really think our coaches "forgot" how to prepare for a running attack?

Lol, the notion that the loss of Lauvao and an under performing injured Kory are the reasons behind historically bad run game production is funny to me.

To be clear injuries have hurt the OL. But to excuse the coaches accountability for this pathetic run game is giving this staff another of many passes some fans are willing to give.

I would say: decline in attempts, predictablitiy, poor rotation of personnel and general lack of emphasis are a bigger problem then the injuries.

I think this run game as presently constituted is woefully underperforming due mainly to coaching issues.

If we win tomorrow, we'll be the only NFC east team for the second time in the last 3 weeks.

Lauvao hurt us in the run game big time. Kory L had been terrible, mcrib has been worse. Not having a blocking TE has hurt us as well

Yup, Yes, and Fo Sho
All of these things contribute much more than the fact that our coaching staff has not done its job?!?
Throw in the fact that Mudfoot and Butterfingers are underperforming.

I am just so tired of the Giants making our team look like clowns. It seems like when we lose to the Giants, we don't just lose, we look hapless and any bit of progress we've made as a team just disappears. Worst part is, the NYG aren't that good of a football team this season either, but their coaching is elite and it means they are usually fundamentally sound and don't make the mental errors our team is known for.

Apparently you have not seen several Giants games this year when they were clearly in the running for the most fundamentally unsound team of all time. Mental errors were a flowing in epic proportions.

Oh to the contrary, I have seen them, and yes I agree they are not a good team and often themselves look hapless. I probably didn't explain in my statement enough that it seems like in these kind of situations as in the kind coming up Sunday, I can almost guarantee their heads will be screwed on right. They have a knack for coming up big in these kinds of situations despite looking overall mediocre at other times.

I'm heading out to Fed Ex tomorrow. Really hate going over there but F it. Free tickets in the club section and I'm going to try and have a good time. Last game I went to I got some tickets to pre season...a stale ass hamburger, weak ass fries and a warm Bud Light, which I hate anyway. $30. That was a few years ago and I swore I'd never go back.
