The Giants’ coaches can’t make adjustments

The first half was great for the Giants, they took a 17-3 lead into the locker room at halftime. But after that, the team went flat. No changes were made. The Eagles scored 20 unanswered points.

For whatever reason, Pat Shurmur and James Bettcher decided that nothing needed to change and that it was okay to get away from doing things that were working. It boggles the mind how these two come up with a game plan. Whatever they are doing hasn’t worked all season, so why do they think that staying the course is the answer?
