I know Wink is taking his lumps but the defense can only play so long before they get gassed. The offense is so inept, I'm sure all the defensive players will have career highs in snaps this season.

Tim, it was 28-0 at halftime. If the players are gassed before the half, I have to look at the coaches and the strength and conditioning team.

In that half, the Giants' TOP was 11:10 versus 19:50 for Dallas. The Giants ran a total of 17 offensive plays with 4 3-and-outs. Dallas ran 42 offensive plays. 42.

It's not just the physical toll of having to chase fast receivers and running backs all over the field. It's the mental aspect of getting their asses handed to them yet again.

And I'm all for better conditioning for them as well.

Well, the defense has to STOP them. Not chase after them like chickens in the barnyard.

The Defense kept their Offense off the field and the Offense put their Defense right back on the field.
