By Steve Silverman A 5-5 record has been good enough to put the Giants in first place in the disappointing NFC East. The Giants have blown fourth-quarter leads in four of their losses, and if they had been able to manage themselves well at the end of those games, they could easily be 7-3 or 8-2. As much as it hurt, Sunday’s loss to the Patriots was the most encouraging game they have played all season. They went toe-to-toe with Bill Belichick’s undefeated crew and were probably the better team for the majority of the game.
