Giants say they are sorry

The New York Giants don’t have many answers for what happened yesterday at the Meadowlands. Chances are, when you lose 41-9, there simply aren’t many answers other than “we got our rear ends kicked.” So instead of answers, you get an apology.

“The one thing I want to say to our fans, and to a man also, is we’d like to apologize for yesterday,” coach Tom Coughlin said Monday. “For whatever reason, a team that had an awful lot to play for, that had opportunities there, that was playing Giants Stadium for the last regular season game of the Giants, didn’t play up to our capabilities. It’s a very frustrating thing.”

Coughlin wasn’t the only one handing out the “my bad’s.”

“I apologize. I wish I had an answer,” quarterback Eli Manning said. “I wish we would have come out and played better football. I don’t have the answer to why it happened and why it’s happened throughout the season where we’ve been up and down in our play. We have to find a way to be more consistent. The good teams in this league, they are consistent week in and week out. You might not win every game, but you’re going to be in the fight every game.”

We are sure that when Manning said this he had a little bit of a slurry lisp and looked like he was kind of cracking a smile despite talking about an embarrassing loss.
