Giants fans...it's going to get ugly. I encourage you to have your DVD copies of last season loaded and ready because there are going to be a lot of Sunday nights this fall and winter when you're going to relive the glory of the past instead of dealing with the grim reality of the present. The cold, hard truth of the NFL is that ther football gods don't smile upon you two years in a row. The Giants, somehow, were able to combine lady luck, good fortune and some amazing bounces of the ball into a Super Bowl championship. FLUKE is the only way to describe it. Well, flukes are extremely rare in the NFL. And they never happen to the same team two years in a row. We've already begun to get a taste of what's in store for the Giants this season with the loss of Osi Umenyiora. Now Strahan won't return, which is actually a good thing for the Giants since Strahan had mentally shut it down a few years back. And there's more to come. It's inevibible. In fact, unless the Redskins quarterback situation remains a problem for them all season, the Giants will finish LAST in the NFC East. And why not? Talent-wise they certainly are 3rd/4th in the division. And everyone will be gunning for them. And Tom Coughlin hasn't all of a sudden become a good NFL head coach. And Eli hasn't all of a sudden turned into a above-average NFL quarterback. Winning, no matter how it happens, can hide warts. The Giants have plenty of warts and the will be exposed for all the world to see this season. |
