In the middle of October, the New York Giants were a football team that had won 21 of its previous 26 games. In the middle of November, they may be one home loss (Atlanta) away from their season coming to an unofficial end. Mathematically, a 5-5 record in the floundering NFC would ...Published on: 22nd October, 2009
An October matchup consisting of two undefeated teams generally leads to an exciting affair. Prior to last Sunday, the New York Giants had won 18 of their last 21 road bouts and boasted a 5-0 record and elite rankings all across the board. Meanwhile, the Saints were 4-0 and had been ...Published on: 14th October, 2009
I guess a dominating 5-0 record to open the season isn’t enough anymore. Despite the Giants leading for a staggering 83.6% of the season, the incessant need for criticism has locked in on Brandon Jacobs and his meager 3.6 yards per carry through the first five games. It started in week 3 ...Published on: 3rd October, 2009

If the questions that the Giants have faced the past three seasons were categorized into one school-issued test, they would have an A to hang up on their refrigerator. In other words, every time there are questions regarding an aspect of this team’s game, they immediately alleviate the issue with very ...Published on: 26th September, 2009
Week two consisted of a mix of atypical and ho-hum finishes. The Patriots faltering at the expense of a very loquacious Jets team is currently classified as a shock. But down the road, when we see that this Jets team is legitimate and the Patriots don't have the horses to ...Published on: 21st September, 2009
For the second time since Super Bowl XLII, the Giants offense was placed in a do or die situation. Go down the field and victory shall be yours. Relinquish the ball on downs, and watch that “W” slip out of the palms of your hands, and be replaced with a ...Published on: 9th September, 2009
One year ago, the Giants spent the final Wednesday before their opener against Washington privately coordinating Michael Strahan’s arrival at Giants Stadium for the first time since his retirement. A calendar year later, the preparation and focus has shifted elsewhere. While similar faces remain, the swagger from the 2007 Super Bowl ...Published on: 28th August, 2009
Coinciding with the Brandon Marshall suspension are the inevitable calls from all around that the Giants should consider acquiring the arrogant 25-year-old. I say, don’t even think about it. I don’t see any circumstance in which the Broncos would be inclined to keep Marshall if they are offered a substantial package. New ...Published on: 25th August, 2009
This past Saturday, I helplessly watched the Giants get pushed around by the Chicago Bears. I didn’t watch with anger or malice, but rather intrigue and curiosity. How bad can such a good team play? The Giants did not implement any semblance of a pass rush on Jay Cutler. A pedestrian Bears ...
