The Giant’s game could be a splendid example of ‘playing down’ to the competition. Or was it a match of even talent teams? Starting to look like the ole repeat of the latter. Stats show performances very similar with a few exceptions. Giant’s kickoff returns were high. Was ‘short’ kicks by the Lions a tactic? And our old friends ‘penalties’ are still with us.

If a ‘run game’ tactic sets up passing opportunities, why does a ‘passing tactic’ not set up running opportunities? Answer: you have no running game period. Is it lack of personnel or offensive schematics or both? The ‘merry-go-round’ is set to run until next years rebuilding starts anew.

Parents beware. Halloween ‘trick & or tr-eaters’ may find Lion’s game tickets in there collection pumpkins.
