Now that three days have passed since that 38-0 catastrophe in Carolina, the question must be asked. When, exactly, did the Giants turn into the Jets? Even more importantly, who's to blame?
After Sunday's loss, Giants coach Tom Coughlin told his players to stick together. Not everyone did. Receiver Hakeem Nicks complained about not being able to throw the ball to himself.
The Kansas City Chiefs had the worst record in the NFL last year at 2-14, so after three weeks of the regular season, KC has already passed their win total from last year. The New York Giants were supposed to challenge for the NFC East title this year, but after Sunday's shutout loss to the Carolina Panthers, New York has dropped to 0-3. Kansas City looks for the momentum to continue, while New York desperately looks for a "W."
Speaking to WFAN's Mike Francesa during his normal spot on Monday, Manning disagreed with the notion suggested by former Big Blue linebacker Carl Banks earlier in the day that the Giants simply gave up during the 38-0 defeat.
Hakeem Nicks, considered by many to be New York's best receiver, was completely held in check by the Carolina defense. Playing in his hometown, the 25-year-old was thrown to just one time and didn't catch a pass.
"They don't like themselves," the two-time Super Bowl champion told Joe & Evan. "That's what it really comes down to. They don't like each other. They're not willing to fight for each other."
The Giants' offense is a mess, and coach Tom Coughlin knows time is running out to find answers and salvage the season.
After Sunday's shutout loss to the previously winless Carolina Panthers, no one can argue that Big Blue hasn't earned its position at the bottom of the NFC East standings. After all, the G-men allowed the Panthers to set a team record with seven sacks of Eli Manning. Panthers quarterback tossed three touchdown passes as Carolina thoroughly embarrassed New York 38-0.
The Giants are in trouble: Of the 161 teams that have started the season 0-3 since 1978, only five made the NFL playoffs.
Carolina has some major injury concerns in the secondary as they prepare to host Eli Manning and the Giants on Sunday in a game crucial for both 0-2 teams.
Not to predict that this team will be anywhere near its home locker room in MetLife Stadium on Super Bowl Sunday, but the Giants have put on quite a show before following an 0-2 start.
"We have a lack of excitement on the sideline," the two-time Pro Bowler told reporters. "When I look up and down the sidelines, sometimes we're in it and sometimes we're not. I don't know what the reason is for that."
The Carolina Panthers have been a victim of early season bad luck, while the New York Football Giants have been a victim of their own poor play. Can the Giants defense slow down the Panthers Cam Newton and Steve Smith, in order to get their first win of the young season?
The last time an NFL team made the playoffs after starting 0-2 was in 2008. In the last four seasons, though, 0-2 has been the kiss of death.
To hear Eli Manning tell it, there are worse things than allowing 77 points and throwing seven interceptions in two games.
The network said Monday it was the highest preliminary rating for its first national game of the season since CBS reacquired NFL rights in 1998.
There were very few individual performances to point out, so for the first time we're going to select some units in our following segment because this was a collective effort.
The New York Football Giants often refer to "Giants Football" which denotes an ability to run the ball and play intelligently. For the first two games of the NFL season, the Giants have demonstrated neither, as well as an alarming rate of turnovers. New York fell to 0-2 as Denver scored 28 second half points to put away the Giants 41-23 in the New Jersey Meadowlands on Sunday afternoon.
The Giants are 0-2. It's not an inescapable hole. There may be many days ahead. But bad things don't happen to good teams. The performance level must rise.
If things don't change for New York, there isn't going to be a repeat of 2007. Instead it will be another year out of the playoffs.
Peyton Manning again beat younger brother Eli, throwing two touchdown passes in leading the Broncos past the Giants 41-23 on Sunday.
The Giants were very sloppy in losing their opener in Dallas and would hate to start off the season with two losses.
The Giants will face the Denver Broncos on Sunday who, thanks to their Thursday night season opener against the Ravens, have had 10 days to rest. Both teams are nursing key injuries, but will the extra days off give Denver the leg up in the contest?
What makes this so special is that they are the only brothers in NFL history to oppose each other as starting quarterbacks.
To paraphrase Rex Ryan, Eli Manning didn't get into the NFL to serve as Peyton Manning's little brother.
