Focus man, that’s what Justin Tuck is saying in a nutshell. The two time Super Bowl champion knows a little about the art of second half football, and the Giants are in a good position this time around. The team is usually fighting down to the wire, but this year they have a chance to take it all off the table earlier than previous years. The key is always health, and a healthy Hakeem Nicks will make Eli Manning’s tired arm much better. However, Tuck is talking about focus, blocking out distractions, something they failed to do the past two games. “We lost a little focus. I think everybody on this team feels that we can be the best team in the league when we’re playing our style of football. It’s just unfortunate that we haven’t played our style of football the last couple of weeks and we have to find a way to get back to playing that because it’s going to be needed leading up into these next few weeks. “I think we always have been very confident," Tuck said via newyork...

Justin Tuck Says Giants Were 'Too Confident' Before Losing Streak

Less than three weeks ago, the Giants still looked like a team ready to repeat, so two straight losses weren’t going to shake the confidence of the defending Super Bowl champions.

Via The Penalty Flag  |  November 21, 2012
The 2006 season to the New York Giants may be too long ago, but to the average fan it’s becoming clear the Giants are self-destructive like they were in 2006. In 2006, the Giants got out to a 6-2 record by the midpoint of the season, but finished 2-6 for the remainder. Sure, you can doubt it as just a short term issue, but look at the remaining schedule for the Giants in 2012...

Packers will deny it, but they must beat Giants

Via Fox Sports Wisconsin  |  November 20, 2012
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- This is not going to be just another regular-season game. No, the Packers' upcoming matchup with the New York Giants means far more to coach Mike McCarthy's group than the win or loss that will come from it. It was the Giants who ended what was nearly a perfect season from Green Bay in 2011. A dominant Packers offense that led the NFL in scoring could muster...

As the St Louis Rams' record continues to slide following a heartening 3-2 start to the season, Sam Bradford's progression on the "elite quarterback growth curve" is receiving increasing scrutiny. Whether he has a strong game (275-2-0 versus the 49ers) or a weak one (170-2-1 vs the Jets), unless the Rams win the criticism will always be there. It's just a matter...
