Part 3/8:
The performance against Tampa was seen as particularly egregious given that the Giants came off a bye week, a time typically used for reflection and preparation. The expectation was that with this rest period, the team would have able to regroup and ready themselves for what was supposed to be an impactful game. Instead, it appeared as though the Buccaneers, buoyed by the return of their quarterback, were far more prepared to play than the Giants, indicating a profound disconnect in readiness and team spirit.
