The offense never got into gear, failing to cross the 50 until nearly seven minutes remained in the game.
The Giants have nothing left to play for but pride, and that's not going very well. So is it time for a benching? Specifically, struggling QB Eli Manning? WFAN's Craig Carton thinks so.
The Seattle Seahawks came to the Big Apple looking to maintain its position as the top seed in the NFC playoff hunt. The New York Giants had very little to play for, since they were eliminated from playoff contention last week. Seattle dominated New York defensively and shut out the G-men, 23-0, in a lackluster affair at MetLife Stadium.
It's been that kind of year for the Giants. A year of bangs and bruises, of boneheaded throws, of subpar performances.
Tom Coughlin has had enough with the Giants' offense. "Pathetic" was the word Coughlin used after the Giants (5-9) were limited to 181 total yards on Sunday and were shut out by the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks picked off five Eli Manning passes and manhandled the New York Giants 23-0 Sunday.
Cruz was injured trying to catch a third-and-8 pass from Eli Manning late in the third quarter. He jumped and got his hands on the ball and hit his head on the turf when he landed.
In the past week, Geno Smith took an important step. He readjusted his game, at the urging of offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, and stopped trying to be perfect. He got back to running with the football. He played more freely.
"I didn't even notice it was down," Giants quarterback Eli Manning said Wednesday. "I didn't really notice when it was up, either."
Giants QB Eli Manning is known to be mellow and unassuming. Heck, even his nickname is "Easy." But Archie Manning says losing is anything but that for his youngest son.
"We've gotta finish this year," Manning said. "No one knows what's gonna happen next year, who's gonna be around or not. That's the game of football. Things can change quickly."
The loud thud you just heard should not come as any surprise. The Giants, who lost any realistic hope of making the playoffs two weeks ago against Dallas, sealed their fate with a dismal 37-14 loss to the Chargers.
To say that the New York Giants have had an inconsistent season is to be kind. In fact, at times, New York has performed downright poorly, as penalties and poor execution have plagued the G-men all year. Not surprisingly, these same themes reared their ugly head as Big Blue fell to the San Diego Chargers 37-14 on Sunday. Coupled with wins by the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, the loss dropped New York out of playoff contention.
Tom Coughlin felt the Giants were regaining some respectability. That is until they got off to a terrible start and went on to a 37-14 loss to the Chargers on Sunday and were eliminated from the playoff picture.
The San Diego Chargers ended the Giants' playoff hopes by defeating New York 37-14 on Sunday.
Eli Manning claims he can't even remember why Archie Manning told the Chargers not to take his son with the No. 1 pick overall in 2004.
It's a shame there won't be more on the line when Eli Manning and the Giants take on Philip Rivers and the Chargers 10 years later.
Eli Manning doesn't feel comfortable talking about why he and his family didn't want him to play in San Diego in 2004. It's in the past, and he'll keep it there.
The playoffs are likely a long shot for the Giants, but Eli Manning says his team will play like it has a chance right up until the moment the math says otherwise.
We are giving out three defensive game balls for the first time ever. How can you leave out Justin Tuck with a career-high four sacks or Jon Beason for his 17 tackles or Will Hill for stealing the ball from Pierre Garcon on fourth down at the Giants 49 with 1:19 left?
The Giants are soldiering on with postseason hopes alive in December, having won five of six, while the Washington Redskins are officially going nowhere.
The New York Giants remained in the playoff hunt with a come from behind victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday Night Football. Robert Griffin III started hot, but cooled off as Justin Tuck rattled the Redskins quarterback with four sacks. Meanwhile Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 22 of 28 passes for 235 yards and one touchdown, as New York improved to 5-7 on the season.
Eli Manning completed 22 of 28 passes for 235 yards, and Justin Tuck had four sacks to help shut down Robert Griffin III in the second half Sunday night, leading the New York Giants to a 24-17 win over the Washington Redskins.
Don't even bother mentioning whether losing hope is an option for the Giants in the wake of their gut-wrenching 24-21 last-second loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Eli Manning sees 2013 as just one of those years. The Giants' postseason hopes took a major hit with Sunday's 24-21 loss to Dallas. Now at 4-7, Big Blue likely needs to win out to have a shot.
