• The Giants signs of hope that could prevent disastrous season

    The Giants signs of hope that could prevent disastrous season

    The last time the Giants opened their season with a Monday night home game was 25 years ago. Then, as now, the Giants lost. The Giants hope the similarity of starting 0-1 is where the comparison ends. Back in 1995, Dan Reeves predicted the arrival of the Cowboys at Giants Stadium would prove the gap …
  • Giants outclassed by Steelers as Joe Judge drops debut

    Giants outclassed by Steelers as Joe Judge drops debut

    Not good enough. Those might be the only three words needed to describe what the Giants were all about as they opened their season Monday night in Joe Judge’s head coaching debut. They led early and at times did enough smart things on both sides of the ball to irritate the Steelers. There were no …
  • The most important thing to remember in Joe Judge’s debut

    The most important thing to remember in Joe Judge’s debut

    This is only a first Judgment Day for Joe Judge. Let us not forget that Bill Parcells lost his home opener and Ray Handley won his. Judge has a five-year contract and an ownership starving for stability and continuity — and he will coach here for a long time, starting Monday night against the Steelers …
  • Joe Judge can’t fix Giants alone

    Joe Judge can’t fix Giants alone

    It is going to take all of them. Every single one. Man-for-man, the Giants do not stack up. Not Monday night in the season opener against the Steelers at empty MetLife Stadium. Probably not the next week in Chicago, or the next week when the 49ers come to town or the next week in Los …
  • Golden Tate in danger of missing Giants Week 1 vs. Steelers

    Golden Tate in danger of missing Giants Week 1 vs. Steelers

    New year, same old issue for the Giants? The offense did not have its full stable of weapons for a single play last season and might not again Monday against the Steelers because wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) was listed as questionable on the final injury report. Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram, Darius Slayton and Saquon …
  • Joe Judge’s practice tirade was a punch to the nose for Giants

    Joe Judge’s practice tirade was a punch to the nose for Giants

    On the day he was introduced as the head coach of the New York Football Giants, Joe Judge vowed he would deliver a team that would punch the opponent in the nose for 60 minutes. Four days from facing the rough and tough Steelers, four days from opening night, four days from the fulfillment of …
  • Giants preview: Winning season a tall order for Joe Judge, Daniel Jones

    Giants preview: Winning season a tall order for Joe Judge, Daniel Jones

    When you venture away from the building and into the rank and file of the NFL, the expectations about the Giants are low. Really low. Like, really, really low. There are widespread guesstimates that the Giants are a bad team. Young, yes. Improving, perhaps. On the right path, maybe. But at the moment, bad. Looking …
  • Joe Judge’s real measuring stick begins Week 1 vs. Mike Tomlin

    Joe Judge’s real measuring stick begins Week 1 vs. Mike Tomlin

    They are separated by 10 years and 223 games. What the Steelers have in Mike Tomlin is what the Giants one day hope they can look back on and state they had in Joe Judge. Monday night, a head coaching battle looms as the first of what will be a weekly test for Judge. Coaching …
  • Giants reveal first look at 2020 depth chart

    Giants reveal first look at 2020 depth chart

    The Giants unveiled their first unofficial depth chart Monday — and it looked remarkably similar to how the offenses and defenses lined up during training camp. If head coach Joe Judge is planning any surprises, they did not show up on this initial list. The depth chart had Nick Gates as the starting center (Spencer …
  • Joe Judge’s 53-man Giants roster is filled with new faces

    Joe Judge’s 53-man Giants roster is filled with new faces

    This is far from final, but there are certainly signs that Joe Judge’s touch is all over the initial 53-man roster the Giants got down to Saturday, as they parted ways (for now) with 28 players on cut-down day. There are 23 players who were not with the organization in 2019 that made it through, …
