There was a lot of blame to go around this week in NY Giants territory. The team struggled and utterly failed in far too many key spots in such a crucial game.

The NY Giants did not live up to their own expectations nor abilities on Sunday in a disappointing 26-7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

There were a lot of reasons the NY Giants lost this game and there were many key people responsible for this loss. It starts at the top from management, to coaching to the players.

Sunday, the Giants’ coaching and players utterly failed the organization.

After playing clean, efficient football for four straight weeks, the NY Giants offense completely imploded and had its worst performance since the ugly Week 3 loss at home vs the 49ers. This game had a similar helpless and lifeless feeling to it as the Giants got hit hard from the opening kickoff.

It was a widely disappointing game and the NY Giants blew a huge opportunity to keep control of their destiny and remain in 1st place of the NFC East. Now, all three other NFC East teams won and the Giants lost 1st place to Washington while Dallas and Philadelphia closed their gap on New York to one (or less) games.

Here, we breakdown who’s responsible and who to point fingers at for this unacceptable loss.
