4. Unforced Errors and Turnovers

In the past two seasons, the Giants have faced the Cowboys and turned over the ball two times, which resulted in a loss. In last Sunday’s game against the Saints, Eli Manning threw three interceptions and barely clung on to a victory.

Against Carolina Panthers, these undesirable patterns repeat themselves causing the Giants to look rather amateur. Seemingly, these are mistakes that can be corrected through more focused preparation and careful reflection on past mistakes.

As a fan would pontificate on the radio or in the comment section in the vast echo chamber of the internet:

"It is the worst moment to watch in particularly close games when a sloppily thrown pass eliminates a Giants scoring opportunity. Seemingly, this has been a pattern that has occurred for the Giants since time immemorial."
