Tonight at 8:25, the New York Giants (0-5) will try to notch their first win of the trying 2013 season on Thursday Night Football against the Chicago Bears (3-2). Live stream the game free here; Giants fans can hear the game on 101.9 WFAN FM, while Bears fans can listen in on 105.9 FM.
The Giants are a putrid 0-5, but playoff talk has still not died down when it comes to Big Blue, because their division is chock full of underwhelming clubs. Still, they are focused on getting their first win, and not postseason play.
"For us, we're not even thinking about the playoffs now," linebacker Spencer Paysinger said. "Right now we are 0-5 and looking for our first win, hopefully coming on Thursday."
Tonight may be a rough go; the Bears defense is prided on forcing turnovers, while Giants quarterback Eli Manning is pacing the NFL in that category with 12.
"The guy is trying to play the best he can," coach Tom Coughlin said. "He's certainly trying to do too much. He knows his team and he knows his responsibility. He's an extremely accountable guy and he's going to do everything he possibly can. Sometimes it's not to be done that way."
Meanwhile, after a 3-0 start the Bears have dropped their last two games and wide receiver Brandon Marshall is growing angry. "Sometimes the formula may go to me, sometimes it doesn't. Whatever's best for the team to win, that's what we need to do," Marshall said. "I'm always going to be frustrated when our offense isn't No. 1 in the league. I'm always going to be frustrated when we're losing."
Still, the Giants need the game far more than Chicago; making matters worse they don't know which unit to point to that needs fixing. "It's everyone, the receivers, the offensive line. Everyone is to blame for some of these losses," wide receiver Victor Cruz said.
"It's pretty frustrating. We understand that one of these games has to turn for us."
