NEW ORLEANS — When the time comes for the epitaph to be written on this Giants season, it will read something like: “If the games could just have been a minute or two shorter, they could have been a contender.’’
If you’re a Giants fan, you are noticing a detestable trend: Your team continues to turn wins into inexplicable losses by botching late-game situations.
The latest case in point was their wild 52-49 loss to the Saints on Sunday at the Superdome, where they led 49-42 before yielding 10 New Orleans points in the final 36 seconds, climaxed by a 50-yard Kai Forbath field goal as time expired.
