Giants Leave Cleveland Brown and Blue
AP PhotoOh, hey there old Eli — how are you doing? That’s good. Now, get the *#@#! back to last year.
Sure, that’s not fair. Eli wasn’t the only one that didn’t show up for this game. While the running corps was doing much more than “tip toeing” around, Eli and the receivers just couldn’t get on the same page of the play book. His coordination with Plaxico was off — way off.
It seemed that as soon as the team got close to getting into a groove they would self-destruct. Whether it was the play calling, an interception or another big play from the Browns, the G-men just couldn’t get to that point where you just knew they would be rolling over the home team.
I can’t place all the blame on the offense. The Browns did everything they could to hand the game to the Giants. The Cleveland team surpassed their season average of 9 penalties. Our defense couldn’t take advantage. The run defense was non-existent and the coverage down the field was atrocious. I know that’s easy for me to write, I’m just sitting here typing away and not trying to keep up with Braylon Edwards. Whether Aaron Ross had injured himself earlier in the week or the game, he got beat for two scores and generally looked lost out there today.
I think we all knew that the Giants weren’t going to go undefeated this year, but at least we could have shown up for this one and kept it a bit closer than it appeared on the screen. This was a rough loss. Hopefully, we can learn from this brief set back and continue were we left off against Seattle.
