The New York Giants appeared to turn a corner this summer. Their offense was crisp and dominant throughout training camp, and expectations were high.
Then the regular season arrived.
Everything the Giants had accomplished in the months leading up to their Week 1 game against the Dallas Cowboys was washed away. Instead, what they put on the field, was a complete disaster.
Through five weeks, the Giants have the worst offense in football, highlighted by the worst offensive line in football.
Retired offensive lineman and current NFL analyst, Brian Baldinger, broke down the film from Sunday’s 31-16 loss to the Miami Dolphins and had just one word to describe the offensive unit: Dysfunction.
.@Giants @MiamiDolphins this level of dysfunction makes every offense difficult to evaluate. The problem is these breakdowns are happening weekly and frequently. Cant do any more of these without feeling like I am beating a dead horse #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/VxP47a63na

“There’s just so much dysfunction in this Giants offense,” Baldinger said. “That level of dysfunction, you can’t operate like that. You just can’t. And it just keeps showing up.”
Defensively, the Giants surrendered more than 520 yards to go along with Miami’s 31 points, but they were able to generate some turnovers — their first of the season.
The one notable highlight from the latest Giants debacle was a 102-yard pick-6 courtesy of safety Jason Pinnock.

“It’s the one highlight of the entire day, basically. I mean, the defense had takeaways; they got turnovers. But they couldn’t stop this offense at all,” Baldinger said.
The Giants and their fans will take any positive plays at this point.
