New York Giants 2010 Season: Things I Was Wrong About
January 13th, 2011 at 9:28 AM
While Hazem has us looking forward to April's NFL draft, and Kyle is brainstorming ways to make the offense more effective, I'm going to take one last sad chance to look back at the 2010 season. We can argue for days over what went right and what went wrong, but...

January 10th, 2011 at 1:13 PM
While many fans, networks, blogs, and newspapers have turned their attention to the NFL postseason, Giants 101 will continue to focus on the New York Giants and how they can improve in time for 2011. A big question at the conclusion of this past season was about the state of the...

January 9th, 2011 at 8:20 AM
The 2010 season was a disappointing one for the New York Giants, as they won ten games but were left out of the postseason tournament for the second straight year. Turnovers and poor special teams play doomed the Giants, who undoubtedly have one of the most talented rosters in the...

New York Giants Offense Line Down, But Not Out
November 9th, 2010 at 4:57 PM
The New York Giants offensive line is hurting: Shaun O’Hara is still nursing a Lisfranc sprain in foot; his backup, Adam Koets, is done for the season with a torn ACL; versatile tackle David Diehl is out for a few weeks with a hamstring/hip injury. Whoops, we’re not done. Sophomore second-round...

October 18th, 2010 at 3:23 PM
New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, a day after beating the Detroit Lions 28-20, enjoyed his third consecutive Monday afternoon press session following a victory. Coughlin expounded the importance of winning the turnover battle, running the ball and stopping the opposing running game. No big surprise. Coach lamented the long...

October 1st, 2010 at 5:58 PM
On Sunday, the New York Giants host the Chicago Bears. The Giants are 1-2 with their one win at home in New Meadowlands Stadium. The Bears are 3-0. Chicago is playing excellent football this season with Jay Cutler emerging as the star quarterback Denver hoped he would be for them, and...

Undisciplined Giants are Beating Themselves
September 30th, 2010 at 10:32 AM
The New York Giants are beating themselves this season, and it comes down to a complete and utter lack of discipline, which has led to the team's (1-2) start. This Sunday night the undefeated Chicago Bears come into town, and the Giants have a chance to hand them their first...

New York Giants: Any Given Sunday
September 29th, 2010 at 10:00 AM
The New York Giants loss to the Tennessee Titans hurt, but the season is not lost. In fact, the Giants 1-2 start isn’t even the worst in the league. In the NFC, Detroit and San Francisco started at 0-3. In the AFC, Cleveland and Buffalo started the same way at...

Tom Coughlin To Hakeem Nicks: Catch The Damn Ball!
September 28th, 2010 at 8:53 AM
There was a lot of talk around these parts yesterday about the lack of discipline on the New York Giants' offense, with some blaming QB Eli Manning for not demanding excellence from his unit, with others laying their sights on the coaching staff. It looks like Tom Coughlin is trying to...

After The New York Giants Fall Apart, All Eyes On Head Coach Tom Coughlin
September 27th, 2010 at 2:24 PM
Last Monday, following a disastrous performance against the Colts, we mused that it was time to start the "Tom Coughlin Job Watch." After a Sunday afternoon performance against the Tennessee Titans that was a whole different brand of disastrous, Coughlin is again the center of attention. Sadly for the New York...

Hardest Thing to Accept? Lack of New York Giants Class
September 26th, 2010 at 7:55 PM
After allowing myself some time to adsorb the 29-10 beat-down courtesy of the Tennessee Titans, it's become apparent to me that the most difficult thing to accept about today's horrid performance isn't the turnovers, the special teams play or even the lack of fundamental football. Hell, it's not even the...

Giants vs. Titans: Keys to Victory
September 24th, 2010 at 11:11 AM
The New York Giants are 1-1 following a disappointing 38-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night football last weekend. In that game, the team did not play with any sense of urgency and looked uninspired, and it almost seemed as though they gave up once they found themselves...

The Colts Loss Hurt, But it’s Not Time to Panic
September 23rd, 2010 at 11:05 AM
The New York Giants had an impressive 31-18 win against the Carolina Panthers at home in week one of the season and looked to be a team on the rise in 2010. They followed this up with an extremely disappointing performance, getting embarrassed 38-14 by the Colts in Indianapolis on...

New York Giants Offensive Tackles Manhandled By Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis
September 20th, 2010 at 6:05 PM
Perhaps the big winners in the latest installment of the Brandon Jacobs saga are New York Giants offensive tackles David Diehl and Kareem McKenzie, whose disastrous performances Sunday night have been overshadowed by the Jacobs headlines. Both Dwight Freeney (Diehl's man, mainly) and Robert Mathis (McKenzie's) recorded two sacks, but that...

Game Review: Colts 38, Giants 14
September 20th, 2010 at 8:04 AM
The New York Giants went into Indianapolis Sunday night feeling pretty good about themselves, coming off a hard-earned victory in their new stadium to start their season. They left Indianapolis looking like an overmatched, overwhelmed football team that wasn't ready for what they encountered. Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis absolutely...
