http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/3712 Recent articles about Osi Umenyiora en-us Osi Umenyiora had a straight face when he said it and I’m absolutely convinced that he believes it. In fact, I’m pretty sure that in the Giants’ locker room, he’s not alone. “We’re not a bad team,” Umenyiora said, moments after the Giants lost to the Denver Broncos 26-6. “We’re a good football team. We just played bad today. We’ll get it right. We’ll get it right.” I’m starting to think that the Giants believe...

The Giants have collapsed, while the fan base was given a dose of reality tonight.  The four game loosing streak was no fluke, you can stop blaming injuries. This team is just not ...

I wish I had an answer. If I had an answer, it would be the end of it. We have not been able to stop those consistent pass drives late in the game. Someone asked me, I think yesterday, about whether there was fatigue involved. I don't see that at all. You are talking about 50 degrees at this time of...

He's improved so much, in fact, that the Eagles have signed him to a four year contract extension through 2013.Justice was set to be a free agent after this season so the Birds were smart to lock him down. While he isn't an elite level right tackle, Justice has proven himself to be solid in 10 starts this season. With all the chaos happening around him on the line fro...

The Philadelphia Eagles have a depleted roster. Our New York Giants have been disappointing. The Washington Redskins? A joke. All of that is leading many to wonder what has happened to the once-mighty NFC East. In fact, The Washington Post's NFL Blog, The League, went so far as to ask if the division was the worst in football. Personally, I think that is way overboard, and my most recent piece for The Post gives my ...
