One thing affects the other.
Today is a perfect example.
Injuries on OL results in forcing receivers/TE/Backs to stay in and block/chip. This results in less receivers or shorter routes.
Penetration occurs resulting in quicker throws than intended and/or sacks. Plenty of tackles for a loss. No rushing yards.
Carolina doesn’t have to load the box. Drop back into coverage as Giants become 1-diminsional.
That coupled with a gutless team whose defense can’t stop anything forces Giants to just throw the ball over and over.
Giants should fire the DC and look at upgrading the OL/LB. The secondary have talent but gave up wayyyy too many plays.
A lot of injuries this year but when players did play, no plays were made.
Rough year for a promising start and a long stretch of playoff appearances.
