The New York Giants are 0-3 for the first time in a long time and after losing their first three games in embarrassing fashion, the team needs a turnaround on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs and with the team being 3-0, it won't be easy.
The Giants obviously can't escape Andy Reid, as the former Eagles coach is now with the Chiefs after spending over a decade in Philly and with Arrowhead being an unforgiving place for visiting teams, Week 4 could make the Giants season a lost one. Amazingly enough, a win on Sunday to get the team to 1-3 could keep them alive in the division, but after losing five of their last six games dating back to last season, the Giants are in free fall.
0-4 could end the season now for the Giants and after looking absolutely terrible in Week 3, they need to at least show some effort. When the team NEEDs to win, recently they have faltered, including against the Ravens, Falcons and most recently against the Panthers, to whom they lost 38-0 in embarrassing fashion last week.
The Giants obviously need to play better and one area to start is with Eli Manning. It's not all his fault, as he was sacked and hurried on every play last week, but this is a man with two Super Bowl rings, he has to play better. The offensive line is in shambles after that used to be a strong part of the team and Eli already has eight picks this season and just five TDs and four of those came in the Week 1 loss against the Cowboys. Against the Panthers he was terrible, throwing for just 119 yards and no touchdowns with one pick and he needs to play better against Kansas City.
Reid knows how to play Eli and that could mean trouble this week against the Chiefs and if he doesn't have a good game, it will be hard for the Giants to get going. Another thing that has been terrible is the running game and if they can get that to at least be somewhat productive, they will have a chance to win on Sunday.
After losing Andre Brown everything went badly, as David Wilson fumbled twice and has not been very effective, while Brandon Jacobs was brought in to sort things out. Wilson has just 75 yards on 25 carries this season and he needs to step up. The defense has been giving up way too many yards and if Eli can get his head on straight, the team could win on Sunday. Big Blue needs a win and a turnaround.
