Oh boy, there’s trouble in Giant-land.

Big Blue laid another big egg at the Meadowlands today, falling to the Chargers 21-20…their 4th straight loss since opening the season 5-0.

Lots of second-guessing to go around for all you Monday morning quarterbacks.

Personally I would have liked to have seen the Giants go for it on 4th down on their opening drive instead of opting for the (eventually botched) field goal attempt.

And then of course there was Tom Coughlin’s decision to play it conservative in the 4th quarter after Terrell Thomas picked Philip Rivers.

With 1st and goal at the 4 the Giants did the following: penalty, short pass, run, run.

I know the penalty set them back, but they had 3rd and goal from the 9 with Jacobs and chose to run instead of taking a shot at the end zone.

To me that was the uninspiring play call that doomed the Giants.

But don’t take my word for it (Reading Rainbow, anyone?)….here’s what Big Blue had to say after their Big Stinker.

Listen to Eli Manning, Shaun O'Hara, Brandon Jacobs, Kevin Boss and Corey Webster:
