The Giants saved their season in Houston with their first meaningful win since 2016
I forgot what it felt like to experience a Giants win because it’s been so long. The Giants had gone 3-16, including the postseason, in their last 19 games before saving their season with a win in Houston.
The Giants are on the brink of elimination after once again starting the season 0-2
I thought putting up a 3-spot in Week 1 last season was as low as it could get for the Giants on the road in Dallas. And then Sunday night happened when the team was utterly embarrassed on both sides of the ball.
Pat Shurmur was on the sideline in Week 1, but it felt like Tom Coughlin or Ben McAdoo was coaching
Change the general manager, change the head coach, change the coordinators, change the majority of the roster, but it doesn’t matter, the New York Football Giants will never change.
A new general manager and a new head coach have the Giants looking like a playoff team
The New York Football Giants are coming off a three-win season, have a new general manager, a new head coach, a new offensive line and a pass rush-less defense, but I still think they are a playoff team.
I hate that summer is over, but like every year at this time, I'm happy that football is back
The first week of football is special and the anxiousness at 1:00 on the first Sunday of the season is indescribable. Keeping up with the games, parlays, teasers and fantasy teams all at once, while drinking and eating thousands of bad calories for nearly 11 straight hours is magical.
There's nothing different about the new and old head coaches of the Giants
The new Giants head coach proved he’s the same as the old head coach in the season-opening win over the Cowboys in Dallas.
For the second straight season and the fourth time in five years, the Giants get the Cowboys in the season opener. The other four times haven’t gone so well as the Giants are 0-4 in the those and the G-Men haven’t won the first game of the season since 2010.
The good news is there are still three games to pick to finish the season on a winning note. The better news is I’m 13 games over .500, so no matter what happens in the last three games, the season was still a success.
Here are four things I took away from Ben McAdoo’s first words as Giants head coach. For not seeing anyone else in this role for 12 years, it felt weird, so here’s to not having to do this again for another 12 years.
The Barstool Sports New York blogger joined me to talk about the Tom Coughlin era and the decision to hire Ben McAdoo.
