Blame Brian Daboll for one more blown double-digit lead.
Blame offensive coordinator Mike Kafka for continuing to call running plays that left Jaxson Dart prone to a concussion.
Blame defensive coordinator Shane Bowen, cornerback Deonte Banks’ penalties or the vaunted pass rush of Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux for combining for zero sacks.
Select who’s at fault Sunday for the Giants losing 24-20 to the Bears, but Lawrence — who often speaks for the team — doesn’t wish to hear any of it.
“I don’t care, man,” Lawrence said. “It don’t matter. It never has and never will matter what anyone outside the ability really has to say, we just gotta keep coming back every week reloading and keep going.”
The skin noise is about to achieve a fever pitch with the Giants at 2-8 if no changes are made.
That only makes Lawrence feel indignant.
“Whatever they are saying don’t really matter,” Lawrence said. “ We just got to return back Wednesday able to practice and erase the loss.”
Who’s accountable for the newest fourth-quarter collapse?
“The players,” Lawrence said.
There was no storybook comeback for Russell Wilson.
If Wilson, after getting benched in Week 4 and never traded on the deadline last week, had rescued the Giants from a fourth-quarter collapse after Dart’s concussion, there would have been vindication that perhaps there’s more left within the 10-time Pro Bowler’s tank than anyone suspected.
As a substitute, Wilson finished 3-of-4 for 45 yards (41 of which got here on a screen-and-run by Devin Singletary) and took two sacks.
He needed to drive 65 yards in 1:47 for a touchdown to win the sport late, but only gained 11 yards on six passes.
“I felt mentally ready and all of us being able to respond,” Wilson said. “[The Bears] made a pair key plays up front.”
It seems all the eye was paid to the incorrect Giants kicking mess.
One in every of the most important storylines of last week was whether the Giants would yet again risk playing an injured Graham Gano or turn to Younghoe Koo.
It turned out that the Giants went with Koo, who converted all 4 of his kicks (two field goals and two PATs).
But punter Jamie Gillan had his worst game of the season: He was penalized twice on kickoffs that put the ball on the 40-yard line and shanked a 26-yard punt between the 2 Bears touchdowns in the ultimate 4 minutes.
OT Evan Neal was the one healthy scratch for the Giants.
He has not played a snap in 10 games (nine healthy scratches).
The opposite inactives were Gano, CB Paulson Adebo, OLB Victor Dimukeje, DL Chauncey Golston, C John Michael Schmitz Jr. and third-string quarterback Jameis Winston.
Former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue died Sunday morning.
“Commissioner Tagliabue was a sensible and considerate leader,” the Giants said in a press release. “He was a collaborator and united people, not a straightforward task. And he did so thoughtfully with grace and dignity. He shall be remembered as one among the best commissioners in skilled sports. Our thoughts are with the Tagliabue family.”
