Part 5/13:
The Giants' latest defeat reflected gross shortcomings. Last night's game was a comprehensive disaster, with the team surrendering to a physically imposing Patriots squad that dominated from the outset. The Giants had no answer to New England’s aggressive early hits, leading to a game that quickly spiraled out of control.
This poor showing was compounded by defensive breakdowns, particularly exposed weaknesses in pass coverage and discipline. The defense, often considered the backbone of teams seeking stability, was wide open and ineffective — a situation only worsened by the decision to retain defensive schemes and personnel that clearly do not inspire confidence.
