The New York Giants were utterly disappointing in the first half of the season. The first seven games of the season can’t be described as anything other than disappointing, from the offense, defense, and special teams.
The Giants have had failures and mistakes in the front office, on the coaching staff, and on the field. But nowhere have they been more jarring than on the defense, where they are, quite simply, too talented to be playing this poorly.
The bye week presents a break in the season, a chance for the players to step away and put the first half of the season behind them.
