While, the only thing OBJ exposed since the season ended was his chest in Miami. Antonio Brown also had a big game against the Chiefs. I hate to make another thread about OBJ but I've never been this disappointed in one player in any sport in my life.
Can we get over it?
They scored over 500 points.
yeah, they're pretty good at exposing defenses.
No, you can look forward to the debate around Memorial day on whether Ketchup or Mustard on a hot dog is preferred. For good measure, the discussion will be re-hashed near the 4th of July.
Hopefully the Giants can get back to give him another shot. But, right now those are the facts.
You are a Jackass.

Nobody's making excuses. Plenty of great, winning players sucked in their first playoff games. Facts are not excuses.
Only when the Packers inexplicably went single high on the Giants to start the game. Once they came to their senses and went two deep, Giants stopped doing anything.
We dropped 2 TDs on the same drive. It costs us 4 points.
There was a 3rd down drop that ended a drive (things every team can overcome).
Giants couldn't score vs a pathetic Packers defense (and it goes back much fiurther than the last 2 weeks). That isn't on Beckham.

Well yeah, it kind of is. Its not like he lit it up after the first two drives, and struggled to get open later in the game. He's part of the the offense much like Eli and Ben. It's on all of them.

no doubt it was team collapse down the stretch. Things may have been different though if the Giants punched one or two TD's in early. The Giants were dominating the game
for about 27 mins and due to the drops did not even have a two score lead.
Beckham had three drops, all costly, and was a non-factor outside of those errors. he choked in the biggest spot of his career yet and let down the whole team. It is a one game sample size and i hope the Giants can get back soon to give him another shot, but he came up small in the biggest spot. I find it strange how many excuse this and defend him.
At the very least there should be some slowing down of the best WR in the game talk until he makes some plays in the big games. The best raise their play when it is all on the line. Time will tell if he can do this.
If nothing else, these last two GB games tell you why Victor Cruz should never play again and why Reese somehow has to get another #2 receiver and a capable Tight End for Eli.
Soon.
They couldn't exploit those poor run defenses or those weak against the pass.
When a team can t control the line of scrimmage they become the one exploited
Brown gets to run routes while his QB is protected by two All-Pro linemen and more often than not, he gets to run routes while defenses have to worry about the best running back in football. Throw in a 6'7 pass-catching tight end to keep drives alive.
If I'm gonna blame someone that is on their rookie contract for that loss it's gonna be Eli Apple. He got torched the entire game.
