It seems that the Giants have a preponderance of lost yardage or lost opportunities due to penalties
For example it seems as if the Giant's penalties often negate positive plays such as a long punt return, a long catch, a positive run, an interception, a fumble recovery, etc......
A (5) yard penalty could have much greater significance.

But most of the time the penalty is the reason the play went big anyway.
The holding call on the big run is usually the reason it was a big run.

^Disagree. The late hit on the blocked punt, the "hold" on Flowers that was a spectacular 1st down catch by OBJ in Pitt, and a bunch of others were very costly in terms of FP, points, etc. and the infractions were NOT the reason the play went big. Maybe PFF can rate the "eventfulness" of a play, then sub-rate the "wow-factor" of the penalty if you want stats on the stuff. Averages don't do justice in this case as one or two big numbers could skew otherwise significant results.
NYG Penalty Yards per Penalty: 32nd (10.1 yds/penalty)
NYG Opponent Penalty Yards per Penalty: 5th (8.1 yds/penalty)
We get called for the longest yardage penalties on average in the league when they DO get called.
...and our opponents get the 5th shortest penalties on average.

If 2 yards is the difference between 5th and 32nd the yardage stat seems to be insignificant.
