Opening night was a disaster with Eli Manning, Brandon Jacobs, and Osi Umenyiora all getting hurt. The defense was pathetic. the offense put up points, but it was too little too late. Then came the loss to Green Bay, where the defense was even worse. At 0-2, the Giants were headed towards 2-14 and the [...]

This season is a weird one so far. Last weekend, the Giants played poorly in the first half before turning it on against the Jets, getting a big play from Plaxico, some help from the defense, and finally a 3 game winning streak after the season appeared to be spiraling down the drain. Ever since [...]

Goal Line Stand!

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.

Well, the first game was pretty bad. Sure the Giants mounted a comeback, but that was only the quick strike offense and one adjustment on defense that was hours too late. The defense was pathetically embarrassing and Tony Romo had his way finding any receiver any time. Great comeback attempt by the offense, with the [...]

The Redskins won a close one against Miami in OT, the Eagles went down in glorious beautiful flames against the Packers. If only it happened in Philadelphia so that the masses would have rained down their “loyalty” upon J.R. Reid.
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 [...]

The Mara family, owners of the Giants, and considered to be NFL royalty have been going through some tough times lately. When the NYPost and Page Six get involved, it’s usually not a good thing. But the real gem of the story is this writing from a person who you’d think is more used to [...]

Where to begin? I’ll start with the night everything changed for the Giants franchise. November 12, 2006.
The 2006 Giants, coming off a degrading January playoff home loss where they didn’t bother to suit up and play, had answered all of their big game questions so far. Nearly winning the wildy overhyped Manning bowl, a game [...]
