       Leave it to the Giants to lose the must win games and win the must lose ones.      While this week's Patriots-Giants game was a clash of the NFL's 31st and 32nd best offenses, it was also a battle for a higher draft pick. The Pats came into the week just ahead of the G-Men on the draft board, meaning a win for them would knock them out of the top five and a loss would boost them all the way to the number two or three slot. The Giants were already sitting at five and a loss would get them back into the top three. And as we have discussed, with this QB class this is they year to have a top five pick.      But that may not happen on DeVito's watch.     In what was a pretty boring punt fest, the Giants prevailed once again and Tommy Touchdowns had yet another solid performance with 200 plus family members in attendance. Although he did throw for three touchdowns this time, his ability to loft the deep ball ove...

      After last week, I did not think I would be writing another victory monday blog for the rest of the season yet here we are.     The G-Men entered the game as 9 point underdogs against their division foes the Washington Commanders. The sportsbooks, like most of us, did not expect much from the Tommy DeVito led Giants. But boy were they wrong.     New York started with a punting on their two opening drives in typical Giants fashion. Yet the following drive the defense forced a fumble which quickly led to points. A touchdown pass to Saquon Barkley who made an impressive catch in the endzone on a beautiful ball from DeVito. DeVito celebrates the touchdown like a true Italian      With five minutes left in the half, DeVito did it again throwing a deep ball to Slayton who was able to make a man miss with a nasty juke move, and take it in for a score. The Commanders went right back down the field the next drive and fin...

     This one is going to be less about the game and more about the future of the Giants, which I think is the more glaring concern at this point. Also I just don't want to talk about losing by 24 to a team that just fired their head coach, offensive coordinator, and general manager.       Just when I thought things were finally looking up for the G-Men, they somehow took a turn for the worst. Even before the injury, DJ did not look like himself. He missed a few open throws and looked scared in the pocket. It didn't seem to me he was all the way ready to play, not physically, but mentally.      Then on the last play of the first Jones dropped back and tried to evade pressure from Raiders star defensive end, Maxx Crosby. Jones planted his right leg and it awkwardly buckled and DJ went down clearly in pain. That play ended the quarter yet after jogging the sideline during commercial break #8 was back on the field. The very next play h...

     A lot of Giants game over the years have left me frustrated, exhausted, angry, and just flat out sad. But the Giants made me feel a different type of emotion yesterday and I still don't know how to describe it.      From the beginning, based off of both teams' tendencies and the forecast of rain all afternoon, we knew it was going to be a low scoring defensive battle. And in a way I guess it was. On the first possession of the game Kayvon Thibodeaux sacked Jet's quarterback Zach Wilson resulting in a fumble recovered by Big Blue. The Giants only were able to manage a field goal (go figure) on the drive and took the early lead. Then began the punt fest, where for most of the first quarter both offenses kept booting it back and forth. That was until the Jet's second-year running back broke free on a screen pass and took it 50-yards for a touchdown late in the first quarter.     The rest of the first half continued to be just punt...

       It's good to get one.       The Giants came into Sunday's contest against the Commanders as losers of four straight contests, three of which came in embarrassing fashion. With QB Daniel Jones still not cleared for contact, Tyrod Taylor got his second straight start in this one. And once again he was impressive, putting up 279 yards, 2 TD passes, and no interceptions.      Although Big Blue's offense was stagnant in the second half, they were able to put two really solid drives together in the first half and score a touchdown on each. Yes you read that correctly, touchdown and first half in the same sentence for the NY Giants. Darren Waller's first touchdown in blue could not have came at a better time. This score was the G-Mens first offensive TD in the first half of any game this season, as well as their first offensive TD since September 21st against the 49ers. Not to mention that was the Giants 1st home touchdown of t...

     As I sit here writing this on my drive back from Buffalo, I can’t help but think back to all the opportunities that the Giants had last night. Obviously, there was some blatant ones, and we’ll get to that. But being able to hold your own that long, on the road, against one of the best teams in the NFL and not being able to score a touchdown is just so incredibly frustrating. But before I get too heated, let’s get into the game. The first half was extremely slow with two Graham Gano field goals in the first and second quarters respectively being the only points scored.   These were set up by Big Blue’s d-line getting significant pressure on Josh Allen, that resulted in Bobby Okereke and Micah McFadden linking up on two turnovers that gave the Giants good offensive field position. New York’s defense pitched a shutout in the first half and got the ball back to Tyrod Taylor and company with surprising 6-0 lead late in the second quarter. They had the ball on Buffa...

       The Giants once again got embarrassed due to an lackluster offensive performance by DJ and company. And because of that I am once again reluctant to write about this game because of how painful they have become to watch. With that said I'll do my best to get make this one quick and painless.      After yet again failing to score on the opening possession of the game the Giants gave the ball right to the Dolphins who took it down the field with ease. Miami's explosive offense ran it right down the Giants throats and scored almost immediately. New York was then forced to punt again the following drive, and the Dolphins rookie running back  De'Von Achane took the third play of the next drive 76 yards to the house.       Despite a 102-yard pick six from Jason Pinnock before the half (which was the Giants only touchdown of the day) the Giants simply had no answer for the Dolphins. The only significant thing to happen for...
