Undisiplined Giants Exposed Against Titans

TITANS 29
GIANTS 10

The Giants put together a disgraceful performance against the Tennessee Titans, Sunday that will make people wonder this upcoming week whether the wheels are starting to come off the bus for coach Tom Coughlin.

From the start things looked bleak for the Giants when Eli Manning's pass to Hakeem Nicks was deflected into the hands of Titans Sammy Marks. The Titans drove the ball down field and settled for a field goal, but the tone was set.

Later in the first quarter, after Manning hit tight end Kevin Boss on a 54 yard slant, Manning was picked off in the endzone by Justin McCourty killing the Giants momentum.

The entire afternoon was full of misakes and stupid penalties. The Giants were called for a handful of personal fouls, including a chop block by Ahmad Bradshaw that gave the Titans a safety and a 12-10 lead, as well as a 15-yard penalty on David Diehl for ripping off the helmet of Courtland Finnegan, after the Giants fumbled the ball back to Tennessee.

Leading 12-10, the Titans put this baby away fast. Vince Young completed three straight first down passes to Nate Washington, Kenny Britt, and Justin Gage respectively, before Young hit Britt, the Bayonne native, in the endzone for the touchdown.

Now 22-10, Chris Johnson took over with a 42-yard run to spot the ball at the G-Men 22 yard line. Fianlly, Johnson took it in from eight yards out to give the Titans a 29-10 lead.

Is Tom Coughlin's days in New York numbered? Many will ask whether he has lost this team. The players are talking back to him, i.e. Diehl when he came off the sideline after the penalty, the players seem unmotivated, and they are terribly indiscipline.
