TEAMS: New York Giants
Are the Giants are trying to miss the playoffs? Here are my Power Rankings and a quick note about each team. 1) San Francisco - Don't panic, Seattle doesn't lose at home. 2) Texans - They are solid on both sides of the ball. 3) Patriots - Suspect defense keep them from the top spot. 4) Denver - On the rise, are they a Super Bowl sleeper? 5) Falcons - They need to show me something in the postseason. 6) Seattle - They can't win on the road in the playoffs. 7) Packers - Need defensive players to get healthy and produce. 8) Dallas - They've won some games but they're not going anywhere in the postseason. 9) Bears - They cannot protect Cutler and therefore can't win in the playoffs. 10) Steelers - Injuries have slowed this team. 11) Ravens - They're old on defense and Flacco can't lead them to the Super Bowl. 12) Giants - Too many questions for them to make another run. 13) Colts - Luck has this team in the playoffs, an amazing story t...

Pierre-Paul on Giants’ loss: ‘We pissed on our legs’

Via Helmet2Helmet  |  December 24, 2012
Another week, another blowout loss for the suddenly sinking G-Men, who've went from first to finished in the span of two games. The postseason is now a pipe-dream for New York, and a furious Jason Pierre-Paul believes his team doesn't belong in the tournament. “Do we deserve it by the way we played? Do we?” Pierre-Paul said, via the Daily News. “I don’t think so...

Giants know playoff chances now 'remote'

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  December 24, 2012
What a difference a year has made for the New York Giants. Much like this time last year, the Giants entered the final week of the season looking to secure a postseason berth, which they did with a win over the Cowboys at home. This year, the Giants have a similar chance to get into the postseason, albeit as a wild card, if they win their season finale against the Eagles and...

Giants need answers and help to make the playoffs

Via AP on Fox  |  December 24, 2012
The New York Giants won't go down without a fight despite throwing away control of their playoff destiny with lopsided losses the past two weeks. Coach Tom Coughlin was perplexed Monday when asked about the embarrassing losses to Atlanta and Baltimore that have left the defending Super Bowl champions needing a ton of help to get back to the postseason. New York (8-7) has to...

Umenyiora: 'Very real possibility' he, Giants will part

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  December 24, 2012
With the Giants on the brink of seeing their playoff hopes completely vanish -– New York is still mathematically alive but will need a lot of help to get in -- defensive end Osi Umenyiora said he's reflected a bit over his career with the NFL team that drafted him, and has come to accept that there is a "very real possibility" that this is his final season as a Giant...

Giants to let Tuck walk?

Via My Sports Rumors  |  December 25, 2012
After this years disappointing performance the New York Giants are going to need to make some wholesale changes, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Many complain about the secondary but one of the main problems is that their defensive line has gotten old and bad, very fast and that’s the strength of the defense. Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com suggests that the team could...

Giants' playoff hopes take massive hit

Via Fox Sports  |  December 24, 2012
The New York Giants could still be a playoff team even after a 33-14 setback to the Baltimore Ravens. It's a complex (and unlikely) scenario, but one thing was settled at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday. The only resemblance this Giants team has to last season's championship squad or the one in 2007 that also won a Super Bowl is the "NY" on the side of their helmets...

#TheLaMorteReport NYG Short Memories @JLaMorte21

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  December 25, 2012
      The New York Football Giants look like they once again forgot that nothing is handed to you, especially in the NFL! This time it looks to be too late, needing a win against Philly, a Cowboy loss to Wash, Green Bay to beat Minnesota, and the Bears to fall to a Lions team that cannot get out of it’s own way, just to make the playoffs. It was just last season where they were...

Jason Pierre-Paul Unhappy With Giants' Recent Play

Via GridironFans.com  |  December 24, 2012
The New York Giants entered Week 15 atop the NFC East, seemingly in position to go on one of their patented late-season runs. Instead, they lost by a combined score of 67-14 to the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens. The Giants still could make the playoffs with a win Sunday and a whole lot of help, but their season is all but over after an embarrassing performance against the...

The finals have come and gone in most leagues. Hopefully many of you are celebrating championships. Inevitably, most aren’t. After looking at what happened in Week 16, we’ve put together the Fantasy Football Lumps of Coal Team. This team could very well have been a legitimate starting team in the championships…and completely fell on its face. Without further delay, let’s...

Eli is overwhelmed and understated after Ravens loss

Via The Other Paper  |  December 24, 2012
Eli Manning might want to change his nickname from "Easy" to "Woozy" after the consecutive beatdowns the New York Giants quarterback has gone through over the past two weeks. Last Sunday's 34-0 blowout by the Atlanta Falcons was compounded by yesterday's ugly 33-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens which left the Giants signal caller looking for more than...

Week 16 Observations

Via Rotowire  |  December 24, 2012
The Giants played as badly as they did in Atlanta a week ago, to the point where I wondered why they bothered to make the trip. A forfeit would have been more dignified and honest. It's hard to fathom how Eli Manning became one of the worst quarterbacks in the league over the last 11 weeks and an absolute killer in fantasy (h/t Scott Pianowski). And the defense is even...
