In a game in which they figured to be massively overmatched, the Giants fought hard - for the first time in weeks - and took the undefeated Packers down to the final play.
Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. For what was, when you check the upcoming schedule, close to a must win for the Giants, the team failed to get off the bus. And in what can only be described as an unmitigated disaster, the Giants fell to the Eagles.
Basking in the still warm glow of an important win over the Patriots, we pause to preview game two of the Giants' gauntlet of a second half schedule. The Giants fly to the west coast to play the surprisingly 7-1 49ers.

It was a rough day for we the Giants faithful, a day which is uniquely representative of their recent years. Start well. Erase all memory of the good start. Disappoint. Sigh.
With wide receiver Steve Smith and punt returner Will Blackmon already ruled out for this Sunday's game at Washington, the New York Giants are hoping for a little bit of good news today regarding #2 wide-out Hakeem Nicks and center Shaun O'Hara.
