It is undeniable how bad the offense has been for the New York Giants. The one bright spot, a 23-10 win at Denver against the Broncos might have been a Week 6 blip, as the promptly went out and laid an egg against another NFC West opponent Seattle in Week 7.

The question is will the Giants have found a jar of magic beans during the bye week that will turn it around against a strong Rams defense.

Not a lot of those jars in the NFL.

Already through seven games, NFL watchers and fans have begun the crafting of an epitaph for their two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback.
