Giants fans have turned Bowen's firing into a group hobby after the fifth double-digit fourth-quarter collapse.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Overtime offered every chance to steal it, and J.Winston getting sacked by A.Hutchinson on 4th-and-anything sealed a loss that was really decided by J.Gibbs running through arm tackles for 49 and 69 yards. The offense scored 27 on the road and somehow that wasn't close to enough. The fanbase isn't debating anymore — they've moved on to wondering how many more weeks the defense gets to look like this.
