Defense is such a fraud

Spags is lost.

Sounds familiar.

Out of very talented players. It’s a shame

as an NFL unit is ever going to be. The excuse about being placed into a field-position , time-of-possession box went out two games ago. Green Bay got after them in the second half of the playoff game. It's been tits since. 1 interception in 5 games. No pass rush. Obscene third-down conversion %. Draw your own conclusion .

only guys that are close to last year are jackrabbit, Kenard and DRC.

problem is they are all individual pieces and not putting them together.

who's the leader on this team? they just go through the motions. i was at the game, during commercial time outs, players are dancing to the stadium music while in the huddle. painful to watch.

Have not had a good defense dating back to 2012.

Hard to have a dominating defense when you don t value linebackers

back to Perry Fewell days. We dont defend the sticks. Drives me nuts. 3rd and 15? Give a 20 yard cushion.

And Collins looks like a rookie all over again.

NYG should in all rights be 2-3. With any luck or Special Teams were 3-2 beating Detroit.

The offense has done enough to win the last few weeks, the defense is beyond bad. Every single time we score, its 7 for 7. That's pathetic.

JPP got paid and quit. He looked stellar in pre season, against guys bagging groceries a month later. He is either an idiot the way he lines up, but it doesn't matter, he gets zero push anyway this year.

We only rushed 3 on third down. Every single time we only rushed 3 on third down was an easy completion. When Spags sent the blitz, Rivers was unloading early but had all day to find his guys on third. It was maddening.

Giants fans grossly overrate our defense.We have no pass rush,marginal LB,poor pass coverage safeties,Apple is abysmal,and the Giants miss Hankins.

The only time we get pressure is when the Giants blitz.I think Steve has done an excellent job.Last season the Giants blitzed far more than any team in the NFL.

Unless our pass rush dramatically improves,the defense will struggle.The Giants defensive coordinator is not the problem.

Linebackers matter.

Is infuriating to see.

We are 4-1 in what ifs if you’re adding Detroit to the win column. Philly, tamp, Chargers all could have been won with a defense that’s half serviceable. Add Detroit and it’s 4-1.

This is true. Especially on 3rd down. You have to have guys who can cover and tackle in the short-range area. With Robinson last year we seemed to have that. This year he hasn't looked like himself yet. He's definitely running a step slower than last year.

Casillas also looks to have lost at least a step. If you can't keep up with RB's and TE's, your ability to get off the field on 3rd down is severely compromised, as we've all been witness to.
