5. Failing to Run the Ball 

Sometimes the Giants expect to make big gains but fail to settle for smaller, less risk-fraught gains by handing the ball to the running backs.

Most likely, many a Giants fan will throw an angry fit to watch Manning throw in a contested area of the field to Odell Beckham Jr.. The better solution may be to run the ball could as a way to convert the downs more easily.
