Giants’ problems are right from the start

Comeback victories get the headlines. Losses when trailing from start to finish get the punch lines. This is no joking matter for the Giants.

In the four-game losing streak that leaves them at 2-6 at mid-season, the Giants did not hold a lead in any of the losses. Not for a second, not for a minute, not in the first quarter or the fourth quarter. Not even by a single point.

This is not good. Once the Giants get behind, they stay behind. The defense looks especially vulnerable early in games, taking too long to adjust to what is transpiring on the field and only after putting the Giants behind on the scoreboard.
