Things have improved dramatically. The worst defense in the league rose to the challenge of stopping another team, and with an assist from the Washington Redskins inexperienced signal caller Jason Campbell (and perhaps some confusing writing on page 684 of offensive coordinator Al Saunders’s playbook) the Giants survived and won a game. The 0-16 nightmare […]

There were big numbers in the NFL early games. Carson Palmer threw for 401 yards and 6 TDs in a loss. Marc Bulger, Derek Anderson, Jake Delhomme all had huge days passing. They must have carved up some bad defenses. Imagine if they faced the Giants.

The Giants now have a chance to get off on the right foot and begin the […]

The 2007 Giants descent towards rebuilding begins in earnest this Sunday night on national TV in Dallas against the hated Cowboys. But first, a very brief season preview. These are one man’s pre-judgments. Things can change, injuries and emerging youths across the league. But for now, here is what we are looking at:

Tiki Barber was a great Giant. He was not expected to become a 1,500 yard rusher in the NFL, yet his career ended with an amazing upsurge. If you look at his numbers, he was always above average, but the final three years he broke that 1,500 yard barrier and found himself in the elite […]
