Yes, this loss sucks hard and 5-0 would have been great given what happened during the weekend, but there's no reason to panic. They were going to lose a game eventually, granted this was to the Browns. Anyone who thought they would really go 16-0 is a moron or just delusional. Eli had a bad night, most players do have off nights. I'm sure if he's not injured too bad, he'll be fine next week. Also, this game wasn't entirely his fault, the defense played horrid, our pass rush didn't get to Anderson once, our secondary looked lost, and the defense overall sucked. Even the O-line which usually is good at protecting Eli sucked. Save maybe Derrick Ward and Brandon Jacobs, the team played like crap.
I think part of what happened was the Giants let all the media buzz get to their heads. The Eli > Peyton stuff was stupid, and I'm one of the biggest Eli Manning fans out there, but at this stage of their careers, Peyton is still better. All week we heard nothing about how great this team was and all that, and it probably just really sunk in, so they didn't take the game too seriously. It almost seems like they play better when the media doesn't give a crap about them, so maybe now that they're getting alot of criticism from everyone they'll play well again, who knows. Here's hoping they do just shake this off and bounce back.
