The Giants have only trailed at the end of the first quarter once in 6 games......and that was only 3-0 Cowboys. I have no idea if that means anything (probably not) but thought it was interesting.
Is it because they simply won the coin toss? Because the quarter is only 15 minutes? Because they come out all fired up and fade? Because they start dropping like flies by the 2nd quarter (injuries)? Because other teams start making adjustments? Because they just blow?

other teams adjust to what we do. We fail to adjust to what other teams do.

They've also given up a TD just before the half in every game if I'm not mistaken. They just blow.

good teams improve over the course of the game.
a lot of games any matchup might be close at halftime, then the better team will just blow the doors off its opponent in the second half.

What makes guys like Belichick, Walsh, Gibbs and Parcells great coaches isn't just their game plan and how they know how to push player's buttons. What makes them great is in game adjustments.
There's very little effective in game strategy going on with the Giants right now.

Couple of you already said it.
In game adjustments are completely lacking.
That's one of the issues with having a young inexperienced head coach.

Those 3 points to Dallas are the only points we have given up in the first quarter. We have the #1 first Q defense in the league and the worst in the final 3 quarters lol.
I like Graham but I blame him. Last week I watched Peppers get lit up covering the #1 WR from the other team all game and we didn't adjust, not that I noticed and certainly not before it was too late. We have a good talented D, other teams adjust and we don't (not that I notice anyway).
