A distinct lack of offensive output has finally doomed the Giants. They should've probably lost last week based on how bad the offense was for a large portion of that contest. Even in the fourth quarter, the usual Eli Manning magic wasn't there. To be honest, I think his performances over the last few weeks have been overshadowed by last-minute heroics. Not this week, though. Eli was 10-24 for 125 yards, 0 TDs and 1 INT. That's 41.7% - and a QB Rating of 41.1 - and that just isn't good enough in the National Football League.
Rather than Manning leading the offense back in the fourth, it was the Giants defense on whom the Pittsburgh comeback was manufactured. Thankfully, Dallas and Washington lost and Philadelphia might lose tomorrow, too, so the status quo remains in the NFC East. All of that said, there were chances for the Giants today -- chances that weren't taken.
At Cincinnati next week, and a chance to right the ship.
