Giants Show Relationship Between Converatism and Stupidity and Lose
Today, Coach McAdoo showed himself to be no different than Tuna, Fassel or TC. He absolutely let one get away that the Giants should have easily won. First, the Washington team was down two DBs from the first series or so, and Coach McAdoo did not attack. Instead, he channeled Dan Reeves and put the brakes on his own stallions. What's more, the team kept turning the ball - or the Duke, as he likes to call it, over. And Eli threw two picks between the hashmarks, where he apparently cold not see defenders waiting to pounce. He also missed a wide up OBJ who was waiving for an easy TD. Horrible game for Eli. And Shepard had his first drop. Also, the Washington team was awarded a TD when one angle clearly showed the ball touching the ground. All is all a crapfest. But the personal fouls, which are all attributably to a lack of poise, and the turnovers killed the Giants, AT HOME, today, and McAdoo is the prime culprit.
Of course, Tuna, Fassel and TC all took the Giants to Superbowls, so this may not be the end of the world, but PF's and Turnovers were never a sustainable model for the Giants, and they won't start to be now. Thus, they had better clean it up before they play another game.

It's pretty obvious that they have one crazy good WR, and two others right below that. Every other playmaker on the offense is just ok. So they need to win or lose based on exploiting that advantage.
On defense, they aren't getting enough pressure on the QB, and their LBs continue to be very ordinary or worse.
I wasn't against drafting Apple per se. I wanted the OL fixed, and it's still a big vulnerability. But he is already crucially important to the team. He has a chance to be great.
Although he needs to pick his spots, this is the team toughness that was absent last year:
Weston Richburg ejection doesn't appear to be for the block. It seems to be for taunting. He yelled at Norman after knocking him to ground.
Are they too fatigued to get pressure? They did wear down v. the run late:
Giants riding front 4 hard. Not sure sustainable. JPP played 100% D snaps, Olivier Vernon 90%, Johnathan Hankins 87%, Damon Harrison 61%.
Shane Vereen has a triceps injury. He will be sidelined for the season.
Maybe not.
