The Giants should have gotten embarrassed yesterday. They did not. I love these kind of losses. They are such a harbinger of good things to come. The litany of injuries the Giants had to overcome were too numerous to list. Just know that IOL, LB, WR, CB, TE and S were all impaired.

If you’re a Giants fan, those names make your skin crawl. All veteran guys that Dave Gettleman brought in (and overpaid for) to try to quick-fix the Giants’ offensive line. None helped. Zeitler was good but expensive, … [Read more...] about Guest Blog: Offensive Line
