The Giants beat Washington 14-7. The score didn’t have to be that close. Shep muffed a punt. 7 points. Thibodeaux dropped a pick6. 7 points. Barkley fumbled at the WAS 7 yard line. At least 3 and probably 7 points. What does it all mean? The Giants won a game without any of their starting OL (Bredeson isn’t their starting Center). I’d like to think if they all got … [Read more...] about NYG 2-5
BUF 14 NYG 9
The eminent statesman Winston Churchill once said: “When you’re going through hell, keep going.” The Giants and their fans went through hell last night, losing a bleeder.

Peart did not develop as a … [Read more...] about The Good, the Bad, and the Very Ugly

He can be had, we know that.” Ronde Barber, of Eli Manning, January 3, … [Read more...] about Stare
Chronicling the Ugly
Chronicling the ugly in this Seattle game would take forever. Let’s hit some of the lowlights. Can’t convert 4th and 1 on anemic QB push. A butt cheek away from SEA scoring a TD on a tackle for a loss. A fumbled punt. 4 penalties on Special Teams. Noah Fant wide open by 10 yards. Noah Fant breaks too many tackles to essentially collect a TD (on the next play). Daniel Jones … [Read more...] about Chronicling the Ugly
