Overview of the New York Giants Season
The New York Giants still have a chance to get to the playoffs. Having a record of 7-5 (win to loss), they currently stand in 2nd place behind the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles whom both respectively share 1st place with an 8-4 record in the NFC East. The next Giants’ game will take place in New York against the Philadelphia Eagles. The game will be a do or die situation for the fans and this is an east coast rivalry that had taken place in many years. Should they win that game, they will be tied for first place with 3 games remaining! The fans of the New York Giants still have something to hope for and look for toward the end of the regular season.
The New York Giants season up until Week 14 has been an unexpected up and down trip for the Giants. The Big Blue started their season with a 5-game winning streak but also began a 4-game losing streak on Week 5. They had lost to the Saints, Cardinals, Eagles, and Chargers and few Giants’ fans already had lost faith and hope for the season. The New York Giants need to redeem themselves against the Philadelphia Eagles after the upset of Week 8 in a Philadelphia win 40-17 over the Giants. Up until then, their record was 5-4. It was Week 11 as the Giants were playing against the Atlanta Falcons and came away with a win with a Lawrence Tynes field goal in overtime after the Giants had driven a 45 yards to him.
On Week 12, the Denver Broncos pretty much had destroyed the Giants with a win over them at a score of 26-6. The loss had made the Giants fall from 6-4 to 6-5 for their overall season record. And finally, the Giants on Week 13 had risen the spirits of the fans after their dynamic win over the Dallas Cowboys with a score of 31-24. If it wasn’t for that win, they might have less of a chance of contending and making the playoffs if they were to have lost the game.
If the Giants want to make a 2010 playoff appearance then there running game will have to be at full affect and Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw have to be at full health. The Giants defense will have to tryand stop Donovan Mcnabb and Michael Vicks throwing and running game.
