With 4 picks in the top 69, the Giants have a great opportunity to draft talented players in this deep draft class. Plus, they have plenty of options to stay put or trade the number two overall pick in the draft. Round 1 (2nd pick overall): Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State A rare playmaker who is…
Jerry Jones made a difficult decision last Friday to let go of the Dallas Cowboys’ all-time leader in touchdown receptions, Dez Bryant. Bryant had a stellar eight seasons in Dallas accumulating 531 catches for 7,459 yards and 73 touchdowns during that span. However, a majority of the aforementioned production was collected during his first five…
The ushering of a new era in Giants football has commenced and Dave Gettleman wasted little time, as Big Blue looks to reshape its image and bounce back from the dreadful 3-13 campaign that marked an agonizing end to the Jerry Reese tenure. Who would have thought a year ago that the Giants would have…
Does a piece on a wide receiver regarded as one of the best in the league need to be written? With the recent buzz of trade rumors regarding this high profile athlete, Twitter and the media in general have exploded with remarks on his worth as a locker room guy (we as outsiders have very…
As the calendar turns to the month of April, the rumors and smokescreens about the upcoming NFL Draft intensify. Is Sam Darnold still a lock to go #1? Will Minkah Fitzpatrick actually fall out of the top 10? What will the New York Giants do at #2? The answer to the 3rd question may be…
The New York Giants made some noise in the week prior to free agency when they acquired Los Angeles Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree and a 2019 7th round pick, for 4th and 6th round selections in the upcoming NFL Draft. The position was criminally overlooked through the Jerry Reese tenure and new general manager Dave…
Giants Nation, our minds ache as our soul’s search for a remedy from the albatross we witnessed this past season. Unrealistic expectations and a lack of communication, execution, and an all around massive implosion surrounded the 2017 New York Football Giants, but we must put this harrowing experience behind us and hope the remedy lies…
New head coach Pat Shurmur brings a lot to the historic organization of the New York Giants. On the offensive side of the ball, the conversation starts with two time Super Bowl winner Eli Manning. His career is nearing its end, and he is coming off a disastrous 2017 season. Without diving into the drama…
What was once thought of as a championship team was nothing more than a figment of our imagination, as we watched the 2017 Giants crumble from the North, South, East, and West. Alas, Week 17 couldn’t arrive soon enough and us Giants fans went right into full draft mode, as an uncommon reality materialized into…
For the Patriots, the 2017-2018 season ended very similarly to how it began. New England lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 42-27 to open the season, mainly due to Matt Patricia’s defense having no answers for how to stop Andy Reid’s offensive game plan. The same could be said for Sunday’s 41-33 Super Bowl loss…
The major takeaway from the Alex Smith trade, other than the fact that Patrick Mahomes is going to be the starting quarterback in 2018 for the Kansas City Chiefs, is that Kirk Cousins is going to be able to test the free agent market. For the last two seasons Cousins has played on the franchise…

It was an odd last couple months for Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys offense. Prescott wound up going through the most difficult stretch of games in his short career. During the Ezekiel Elliott suspension, Prescott was sacked 17 times – eight of those came against Atlanta while LT Tyron Smith was inactive – and…
The Philadelphia Eagles’ red zone offense has been on a tear for the entire 2017 campaign. Entering Week 16 of the 2017 NFL season, they rank 1st in the league in converting visits to the red area into touchdowns (67.31%) which has lead to them scoring a robust 31.3 points per game.
