Here is a question: Do the Giants want to reveal who they are or do they want to disprove what they are thought to be?
A week ago, they were in fantastic shape, projecting ahead in the NFC playoff chase, sporting a record of 7-2 that was far superior to anything anyone envisioned for this team in Year 1 of a rebuild under new general manager Joe Schoen and new head coach Brian Daboll. It did not take a mathematics professor to estimate that 10 wins would be enough to put them in the postseason tournament, and to get there, all the Giants needed to do was go 3-5 in the second half of the season.
Up next, the Cowboys share an identical record as the Giants but do not share similar status around the league. The Cowboys’ point differential is plus-84 — they have scored 46 more points than the Giants and given up 37 fewer points than the Giants. On the day the Giants were getting thrashed by the Lions, the Cowboys rolled to a rout in Minneapolis, 40-3, ending the Vikings’ winning streak at seven games.
Dynamic. Explosive. These are not words anyone uses to describe the Giants. This does not mean the Giants cannot compete. It does mean that they must adhere to a rigid script, as they do not have many pathways to victory. They turned the ball over three times against the Lions, which doomed them.
