4 negatives for the NY Giants to overcome following the bye week

1. Slow starts for the G-Men

Big Blue has mounted five fourth quarter comebacks this season, and while that is remarkable, it is entirely unsustainable. The reason the Giants have had to overcome all these second-half deficits has been the terrible play out of the gates offensively.

The Giants are averaging just 7.5 points in the first half of games this season, which is third worst in the NFL. The first halves of each Giants games has been painful to watch. The franchise has followed the same game script each week, falling behind early before digging themselves out of their hole in the second half.

The Giants have only been leading at the half in two out of their eight games to start the season and that is not surprising given their first half outputs. The Giants have scored 0, 6, 3, 14, 10, 7, 13, and 7 in the first 30 minutes of action through eight games. That’s not going to cut it.

NY is a run-first football team, and with their lack of weapons on the outside, it is crucial the Giants break this horrendous first-half trend. The Giants need to be able to play their brand of football in the second half and pound the rock, something they will be forced to abandon if they’re trailing.

In order for the team to continue to keep on winning, the boys in blue will have to do something more sustainable, and taking leads into the locker room after two quarters would be a fantastic start. It’ll be on Daboll and Kafka to help turn things around.
