In many ways, the last-minute loss to the Indianapolis Colts represents a microcosm of what the New York Giants franchise has been since they defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 46 seven seasons ago.
They play well at times and show the potential they have, but when it matters most, they come up short. This is why the Giants have missed the playoffs in six of the last seven seasons while piling up double-digit losses in four of the last five seasons.
This era of futility has Giants fans frustrated and wanting significant changes.
