The Giants are full of QUIT!!!


That's about as honest an appraisal as I can give about this team. Strahan danced around the issue in the pre-game -- before this debacle -- when he said that an Andy Reid coached team (the Eagles) would never quit. That assessment rang true as the Eagles blew the doors off the Giants 1) in the second half 2) in their own yard 3) in a game that was as near a must-win for both teams as you can get and maintain control of your own destiny.

Given a second chance in Green Bay, this is what you get out of the G(for girls)-men:

“We came out,” Tuck said. “And we played like we didn’t have anything to play for.”

These are the same pack of losers that complained (Antrel Rolle) when the faithful booed them as they tried to quit in a game against Jacksonville a few weeks back. Looks like the fans know a lying dog when they see one, now don't they, Antrel? The team has proven themselves to be so unworthy of fans criticism since that time, right?

They called Strahan a traitor when he dared speak the truth about this team as well. Truth hurts, I guess.

Unfortunately for the Giants, any team that is incapable of scoring on their own, the Giants MAYBE have a chance against. If the team has a modicum of offensive skill, this swiss-cheese defense can't stop it. The G's lead the league in turnovers. They are undisciplined and not very talented.

The last two games, blown out in the second half by Philly 35-7 and now GB 24-3. That's a 59-10 blowout in the last two second-halves. That is pitiful. That spells quit. They've quit when they were ahead, they've quit when they are behind in the score. An all-purpose QUIT-team. The Giants simply are full of QUIT.

This team needs to look in the mirror, or find a coach willing to reflect their image back to them. They are what their recent record says they are. A borderline .500 team, that can't dominate a relatively weak division and GETS dominated consistently by Philadelphia. Maybe in reality a 6-10 or 7-9 team disguised by the magic of a weak schedule.

The fans will stop booing when this team stops quitting. Maybe at the end of the year, instead of firing coach Coughlin, they should just let him quit. That would suit this team just fine.
