Mark the Giants down for a high draft pick. It is a mistake on their part to aim for such, but expect it to be how things go. All things considered, I bet they take a lineman and then shill for a QB in the second round. They are in this position because they dramatically departed from their first half offensive scheme and as a result had nearly 0 offensive production in their make or break second half of the game against the Philly Eagles. Needless to say the Eagles rallied and won and the Giants fell completely out of contention.
Most people act like they were always out of contention. I felt a few moments of hope before my eyes razored shut in despair. Now I know for sure that the Giants are the new Knicks. New York big three athletics is dead for the foreseeable future. What are the big three? Football, Basketball, and Baseball. Lost, Losing, and Lost a long time ago. Yet hope springs for a handful of other teams, including Chicago–a team predicated on defense and poised to whip the dog out of the Giants this week. Houston too no longer has a problem. Instead the old guard teams of the Patriots and Cowboys continue to stumble towards the playoffs and likely towards an early exit from the playoffs.
At least those fan bases still have hope. The best we can hope for in NY is a few good runs by Barkley on the way to a loss.
