        2016 Preview

        Kevin O’Connell did not have a successful rookie campaign. He has made strides and should have a improved sophomore season. Rookie TE Vince Roberts gives O’Connell some much needed help in the passing game. Both OT’s will need to hold their ground and keep O’Connell on his feet. Defense is a major problem. Barrett Rudd is a good player. To bad he can’t play all 11 positions on defense.

          2017 Season in Review

          The New York Giants began the season with a new GM and a lot of questions. How good would this team be? Everyone thought the passing game would be dynamite but a lot of questions surrounded the running game and the defense. Before the season started, many predicted the team would finish around .500.

          At the beginning, it looked like the team would be something special. After barely losing out to Washington in Week 1, the Giants went on a 6-game winning streak, including a miracle win over the Carolina Panthers that will be talked about for years in New York. QB Kevin O'Connell and WR Karl Alexander were setting up to be the dominant passing tandem in the league and MLB Barrett Ruud was anchoring a surprisingly successful defense.

          But after such a strong start, the Giants hit tough times. The offensive line started to fall apart and allowed way too many sacks. Turnovers started to mount and the defense came back to earth and reminded everyone why there were question marks at the beginning of the season. After losing 45-42 to Washington, it was evident that the defense couldn't hold up anymore, and everyone was hoping the Giants could sneak in with the wild card.

          Entering the final week of the season, the Giants controlled their own destiny, at home, against the last place Philadelphia Eagles. Alexander had been injured the last few weeks, making many nervous for what should have been a certain victory. Unfortunately, the Eagles controlled the entire game, and after the Cowboys win over Washington, the Giants collapse was complete. Their season was over with a respectful 9-7 record.

          It was a very disappointing season, but possibly an overachieving one as well. The Giants were the oldest team in the league and lost many players to retirement, including most of their defensive line. While no one was officially all-league, Barrett Ruud was second-team in the Dogbytes Awards and was named Team MVP for the 2017 season. Karl Alexander, Christian Sievers, Ernest Sayre, Jack Dugas and Ruud were named to the Pro Bowl team.

          Upon the conclusion of the season, the team had only 25 players on its roster, meaning GM pete3 will need to sign 35 players before training camp. He will have his work cut out for him. Next season will have the same question marks while Giants fans will hope for happier answers.

            2018 Season in Review

            What a wild season for the New York Giants. There were a lot of questions during the offseason after the disappointing end to 2017. Gm pete3 went to work immediately making moves.

            The first move would prove to be the biggest. The Giants and Vikings made a convuluted trade that made big ramifications on the upcoming season. The Giants gave up their second and seventh round picks in the upcoming draft, plus their 2019 first round pick, for DE Bob Vasquez and the Vikings' second and fifth round picks. Picking up a key player in Vasquez for the Defensive line and the second round picks were no big deal. In fact, the Giants were moving up from the 17th pick to the 3rd pick in the second round. The controversy was that the Giants would now go four straight years without a first round pick. Fans were hollering that Vasquez better be worth it.

            The Giants made some other moves in free agency, picking up Wide Receivers Lance Graff and Russell Lucas to complement Karl Alexander.

            As for the draft and that 3rd round pick that New York moved up for, the team drafted Chris "Beanie" Wells, as a running game was needed. Going into the season, the running game and defense was still the issue.

            It was a rough start for the Giants, going 1-3 after the first four games. pete3's job was in danger and it looked like that first round pick that went to Minnesota was going to a be a high one. But it actually just took that long for the team to gel. Wells, after missing several weeks due to injury, put up a solid rookie season.

            Vasquez proved the trade was worthwhile, earning a spot on the All-League Second team. And with O'Connell and Alexander rolling, the Giants took off, winning 11 of their final 12 games, including the division-winner in the last week of the season against the hated Redskins.

            Unfortunately, the Giants won the NFC Division East in that last week, but lost their best player. Karl Alexander tore his tricep and was done for the year. And without their playmaker, the Giants put up possibly the worst playoff offensive performance ever.

            Still, it was a terrific season in New York. And the trade? Well, the Giants wound up trading away only the 27th pick in the first round, meaning they essentially picked up Vasquez, one of the best four linemen in the league in 2018, for the equivalent of a mid 3rd round pick. Vasquez, Alexander, C Marvin Phillip, P Ernest Sayre, and kick returner Alfred Stevens were named to the Pro Bowl. And as for team MVP, it had to go to Kevin O'Connell, who put in one of the best two-week quarterback performances ever, throwing only one incomplete pass in two games. He threw 24 TDs and only 8 INTs

            Sadly, the team lost potential Hall of Famer Christian Sievers to retirement, the defense, which has been old for seasons, is swiss-cheesed again. With the right offseason moves, the team should make another run in 2019.

              2019 Season in Review

              The New York Giants had another successful run in 2019, finishing 9-7 and winning their second straight NFC East Division title. O'Connell and Alexander continued to fuel the team's offense and the team's defense picked it up a little bit from the year before.

              Still, there did seem to be signs of regression from the successful 2018 season. The offensive line allowed too many sacks and O'Connell saw a lot of time lying on the ground. On the flip side, the defense couldn't come through with as many sacks as expected.

              The bright side was a successful sophomore season for Beanie Wells, who ran for 1,455 yards, the third-most in Giant history, and set a team record with 11 rushing touchdowns.

              Just like 2018, the Giants suffered a terrible injury in the last week of the regular season when Kevin O'Connell hurt his knee. O'Connell proved to be worthless in the playoffs against the Bears and for the second straight season, the Giants laid an egg to Chicago in the playoffs.

              This year, the team looks to aim young. All-time great Barrett Ruud retired and was replaced with first-round pick Nicky Cook, the first opening round pick the Giants have had in five years. Still, the Giants remain a contender to win the NFC East division for the third year in a row.
