Giants-Bears preview: Can New York ‘nut up’ on defense?

Giants-Bears preview: Can New York ‘nut up’ on defense?

The New York Giants are 2-7 for the third consecutive season. The season seemingly over — from a playoff perspective — in early November. Yes, it’s bleak, but the season carries on, and the Giants find themselves in the Windy City for a Week 10 matchup against a 5-3 Bears team that just had a whacky 47-42 victory over the Bengals in Cincinnati. Quarterback Caleb Williams connected with Colston Loveland for a 58-yard touchdown with 17 seconds left in the game:

The Bears, and Cincinnati for that matter, have had several close wins, including one over the Commanders in Week...

Bill Belichick would take Giants’ job ‘in a second’ — ex-NFL columnist

Bill Belichick would take Giants’ job ‘in a second’ — ex-NFL columnist

Bill Belichick was not included in our recent list of 10 possible head-coaching candidates for the New York Giants should they move on from Brian Daboll at the end of this season. Could Belichick, though, actually return to the NFL to become head coach of the Giants?

“I think Belichick would do it in a second,” long-time NFL columnist Gary Myers said on Wednesday’s ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast.

Myers, a former columnist for the Dallas Morning News and New York Daily News, has also authored seven books. His latest is ‘Brady vs. Belichick.’ Myers knows Belichick and Giants co-owner John Mara...

Giants-Bears preview: Can New York offense score enough points to win?

Giants-Bears preview: Can New York offense score enough points to win?

The New York Giants will start their run through the NFC North this week when they travel to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bears.

The Giants are coming are coming off three straight losses and carrying a 2-7 record as they enter the second half of the season.

The Bears are currently 5-3 on the season, coming off of a 47-point explosion (against an admittedly horrendous Bengals’ defense). Their own offense has only 25, 26, and 16 points in the three prior weeks. The Bears’ defense, meanwhile has given up 24, 14, 30, and 42 points over...

Mel Kiper, Field Yates mock draft: Giants get WR help for Jaxson Dart

Mel Kiper, Field Yates mock draft: Giants get WR help for Jaxson Dart

We’re roughly halfway through the 2025 NFL season, and the New York Giants have a familiar 2-7 record.

So while the Giants aren’t technically out of the hunt for the playoffs, it’s much closer to Draft Season than Playoff Season for Big Blue. The Giants would own the 5th overall pick if the season ended today, which which could make a variety of interesting prospects available to them.

Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates of ESPN alternated picks in their Mock Draft 1.0 on Wednesday afternoon, with Yates getting the Giants pick. He decided to get some help for rookie...

New York Giants injuries: 2 offensive line starters not practicing

New York Giants injuries: 2 offensive line starters not practicing

If Wednesday’s list of players who did not practice is any indication, the New York Giants might be extremely short-handed on Sunday when they face the Chicsgo Bears. Per head coach Brian Daboll, here is the list of players not practicing:

CB Paulson Adebo | Knee
Edge Victor Dimukeje
LB Darius Muasau | Ankle
DL Chauncey Golston | Neck
C John Michael Schmitz | Shin
RT Jermaine Eluemunor | Pectoral
WR Beaux Collins | Neck

If Adebo, the Giants’ best cornerback, can’t play that would mark three straight missed games. The good news at cornerback is that Cor’Dale Flott has...

Giants at Chicago Bears, NFL Week 10 2025: Everything you need to know

Reeling after three straight disheartening losses, the New York Giants look to rediscover the magic they found in Week 4 and Week 6 victories over the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles.

Yes, the New York Giants have an accountability problem; This is how we got here

Yes, the New York Giants have an accountability problem; This is how we got here

In my Tuesday piece discussing potential replacements for head coach Brian Daboll, I wrote that the Giants “have an accountability problem.”

Accountability on a football team, for both the players and the coaching staff, comes directly from the reactions by the head coach to a variety of occurrences.

In thinking about having put that out into the ether, I realized I never explained why I think there is an accountability problem with the Giants. I never gave examples, nor did I offer ways I believe certain situations should have been handled.

Let’s correct that now.

New York Giants fan survey: Was sitting out the trade deadline correct?

New York Giants fan survey: Was sitting out the trade deadline correct?

The 2025 NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and the New York Giants were spectators.

Predictions of an active trade market were right on the money, and if anything insiders undersold just how wild the trade market would get. We saw star players change hands, with trades coming fast and furious right up to the deadline.

The Philadelphia Eagles added edge Jaelen Phillips, as well as cornerbacks Jaire Alexanders and Michael Carter II. The Dallas Cowboys added linebacker Logan Wilson and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.

But there were no trades involving the Giants.



We don’t know exactly...

Giants NFL trade deadline 2025: New York sits on sidelines of wild day

Giants NFL trade deadline 2025: New York sits on sidelines of wild day

The New York Giants watched a busy, transformative NFL trade deadline day pass in silence on Tuesday. The Giants were neither able to acquire badly-needed wide receiver help nor dump unused assets like Russell Wilson, Evan Neal and Jalin Hyatt to acquire future draft capital.

Thus, rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart will go through the final eight games of the season with one wide receiver, Wan’Dale Robinson, who has been reliable this season. The Giants’ No. 2 receiving option is inconsistent second-year tight end Theo Johnson, who has a 9.3% drop rate over 21 NFL games.

The Giants, without a third-round...

Jaxson Dart’s scrambles — the good and the bad

Jaxson Dart’s scrambles — the good and the bad

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart took a beating against the San Francisco 49ers. He was only sacked twice, though the first one was a big hit. Much has been made of the Giants’ decisions to use Dart on designed quarterback runs in a game that was out of reach.

However, the bulk of the hits Dart took came on four scrambles throughout the game.

This week I want to take a look at those scrambles, and the hits at the end of them, and see why they happened. Were they poor decisions by Dart, or a symptom of something...
