Tough game against a tough team. Detroit plays hard and they can hit. They play through the whistle many times and are well-coached.. Aaron Glenn had his D prepared to met out punishment and they did. First was the big hit to Saquon that set the tone he wasn't hitting the hole hard after that. He was favoring the shoulder and was dancing around bc he wasn't able to find lanes. Our OL got pushed around all day, same with our DL with the game on the line.
Flag after flag and injury after injury -6 starters went down. A thin team just got a lot thinner I was hoping the addition of Shane and Gates would help the line but it wasnt to be.. I think Danny played a gritty game and that first int was a heck of a play by Aiden.. But he should have been prepared for that You saw Hutch do that previous 2 games its on tape.
Even still we got into position to get back in the game with a great drive to score in the 2nd half, the D needed to keep Detroit off the board and almost did until a BS penalty and the injuries started to catch up as they just kept moving the chains and taking clock for a Game clinching TD.
Our DL started wearing down with a formidable 1-2 punch and Adoree going down was a killer in an already depleted secondary. LBrs missed tackles and you could see it starting to come apart. Love could only cover so much field. Evidently, Refs are ok with Thibs being constantly held but love Calling block in the backs?.
The loss of Wandale hurt too as he was starting to get into a nice rhythm with Dan. The Giants just Cant stay healthy.
Golladay is a ghost of himself. Seeing all the injuries you start to understand why Toney wanted out. OBJ bad knees is not going to want to come here, hes going to Dallas if they want him. Going to be a tough turn around for a Dallas team w a D now firing on all cylinders vs our 3rd string OL. And an O that also has 2 very good RBs and WR core heads and shoulders better than our secondary. But dont forget We were in the last game until the very end.
Now we will see who will be returning next year.
Just a slight modification to your quote:
"...but (injuries) can happen, do happen... and if you are the Giants they happen at an extra-ordinary rate!"

lol well said. It's just remarkable. every good guy is out. Dallas is going to destroy us. Not our fault really, give me our whole team and with this coaching staff Ill go to war with anyone but we have no players.
