The newest lesson in a season filled with remedial achievement is this: Forget this one.
Leave it on the tarmac when the Giants’ team charter goes wheels-up out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Flush the residue from the collective memory somewhere over Nebraska or Iowa. Let it be gone by the time the plane touches down in Newark. The Seahawks beat the Giants Sunday, 27-13
It was tough, and it comes with a challenge: One loss needn’t become two — or three or five. That’s been the way so many Giants seasons of recent vintage have seemed to go. Lose a tough one to Dallas/Washington/Philly, and it carries over to the next one against San Francisco/LA/Arizona. And then on to the next. And the next.
And the truth is, even this loss shouldn’t weigh heavy on the Giants’ minds. Yes, the offense took a few steps backwards. Yes, the score might’ve been even more one-sided if not for Jackson jarring the ball loose from Tyler Lockett and recovering the fumble at the Seattle 2-yard-line midway through the second quarter.
