the giants whole offense is centered around an average back with a big mouth(tiki) and a very talented QB with no time to throw or open receivers to pass to. how many times can you see eli get hurryed when the defense is dropping 6 or 7 guys into pass coverage and not think that line is horrible?

the o-line for the giants is horrible this year, as they are almost every year, but mainly because of injuries...when 3 of your starting 5 linemen are out, it makes the job a lot harder...plus they lost arrington and strahan on defense, two players who were playing awesome this year till they got hurt, plus umenyiora was out for a while and still hasnt been the same...plus the giants made ALOT of mistakes this year (leading the league in personal fouls, stupid turnovers, etc.)...the giants have one of the best running backs, but to center an offense around him is stupid and makes the defense's job a whole lot easier...so there is no one reason that the giants aren't playing well right now...they are a team, they win as a team, they lose as a team...and miraculously they are still in playoff contention...
