Giants in Trouble

The loss of Osi Umenyiora, coupled with the un-un-retirement of Michael Strahan leaves the Giants with a mediocre D-line at best. (In retrospect, the Skins were lucky to get Jason Taylor when they did.) In addition, several members of the Giants LB corps and secondary are gone as well.

Eli is a year more experienced. The running game was jelling in the playoffs. Ahmad Bradshaw will be better. Jeremy Shockey is gone but that benefits the team by eliminating his distractions. Therefore, the offense will be raring to go and the defense will have to desperately hope that they can keep it together to make a playoff run.

    Well, that was completely wrong. The Giants are in total control and dominating the league. It's surprising that they got shellacked by the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. Other than that, they have been winning in impressive fashion. On one hand, they are comfortably in the driver's seat for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. On the other hand, the G-Men have a formidable second half schedule.
