Giants game 5

  After a brilliant start to the season the Giants have lost their last three games including last nights Primetime game against the Green Bay Packers. The defense played decent but are still unable to create a pass rush and the offense couldn't produce having to settle for field goals.
  Janoris Jenkins stood out in this game grabbing the Giants first interception of the season. Jenkins was able to pick off Aaron Rodgers twice and break up key catches preventing touchdowns. It's a good thing the defense came to play or this would've been a blow out. They were able to force the Packers to punt the ball trying to give the offense a chance. The pass rush was nonexistent still allowing Rodgers all sorts of time in the pocket. The money spent in the offseason has still not paid off. Spagnola needs to figure out a way to get to the quarterbacks in order to turn this season around. 
  Again in this game Manning had trouble throwing the ball and converting on third down. There were also a few drops by the wide receivers including a drop by tight end Will Tye that would've resulted in touchdown. OBJ was more involved in this game and did get his first touchdown of the season in spectacular fashion. He was able to grab a catch in the back of the end zone with both toes touching inbounds holding his heel up so it wouldn't land out. This touchdown also pulled the Giants within a touchdown with three minutes left in the game. That touchdown drive was the best drive the offense put together all game with five first downs going 63 yards.
  Unfortunately time was against the Giants when they kicked the ball off to the Packers. The defense was trying to get the ball back to Manning. The Packers were facing a 2-13 and Rodger threw a short pass to Starks. Starks fumbled the pass but was able to get the ball back giving the Pack a first down essentially sealing the victory for the Packers sending the Giants to 2-3. The Giants fell 23-16. Despite how bad they looked they only lost by a touchdown. I feel this could've gotten out of control if it wasn't for the defense making plays getting the Packers off the field. This loss places the Giants at the bottom of the NFC East.
Manning went 18/95 for 199 yards and a touchdown. Manning did not throw an interception in this game. OBJ had five catches for 56 yards and a touchdown. Victor Cruz didn't get a catch and Sterling Shepard only had two catches. Coach McAdoo needs to start making calls to highlight our offensive strength, the three wide receivers. The Giants were unable to run the ball. Bobby Rainey had the most rushing yards with 22. I don't understand why Paul Perkins wasn't used more with Rashad Jennings out again. Perkins showed last game he has speed we can utilize. In order for Manning to be able to throw the ball the Giants need to be able to run the ball.
  There were less penalties this week but they still had  six. Up next for the Giants is the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens will bring a pass rush with Terrell Suggs. If the Giants don't figure out how to get more blocking this is going to be a problem all game. Sitting at 2-3 isn't a time to panic but if they don't start to fix their mistakes and take advantage of their weapons on offense nothing is going to change. Hopefully Manning will find his receivers and the offense can be more productive next week.
