Is Week 1 a must-win game for the Giants?

Is Week 1 a must-win game for the Giants?

Their history since their last Super Bowl says so

The 1986 New York Giants did not get their season off to an auspicious start, losing 31-28 at Dallas in their opening game. After a 21-0 playoff embarrassment in Chicago to end their previous season, it was not what fans were looking for. That team turned out OK, though.

Things were even worse in 2007, when a Giants team coming off two consecutive one-and-done playoff seasons suffered two embarrassing losses in which their supposedly elite defense gave up 45 points to Dallas and 35 points to Green Bay in their first...

Giants Mailbag: Jalin Hyatt ‘checked out’?

A lot of this falls on Hyatt, though. He mentally checked out at points last season after clashing with the coaching staff and upper management. There was no reason he should have been as uninvolved as he was at points last season. He’s a player with a skillset that the Giants should be able to use....

Summer Scouting: Francis Mauigoa, RT, Miami

Summer Scouting: Francis Mauigoa, RT, Miami

Could Mauigoa already be on the Giants’ radar?

The offensive line is an evergreen topic for the New York Giants. They have sunk a tremendous amount of resources into finally fixing the line, only to deal with injury and disappointing play on an annual basis.

It’s likely that the Giants will once again be looking to reinforce their offensive line in the 2026 NFL draft. Miami right tackle Francis Mauigoa could be of particular interest, given how unsettled the right side is for the Giants.

The right tackle position could be one of legitimate need with Evan Neal moving inside...

The offseason ramps up with on-field practices starting this week

The New York Giants take the field this week for Phase 3 of the offseason program, commonly known as OTAs. This is the spring fun stuff — actual on-field practices.

Here are 10 things to watch.

Russell Wilson

Wilson is the starting quarterback, but he won’t be the one anyone is most interested in. That will...

Better or worse in 2025? New York Giants quarterbacks

Better or worse in 2025? New York Giants quarterbacks

The Giants will be better, the question is whether the improvement will be enough to matter

As we complete our position-by-position “better or worse?” examination of the New York Giants’ offense we have reached the final and most important position — quarterback.

We are going to dispense with the standard “better or worse?” argument. The Giants are clearly better, positioned both with a better short-term signal-caller in Russell Wilson and a potential long-term answer in Jaxson Dart.

So, the question is not “are they better?”

The short-term question is “have they improved enough for it to matter in 2025?” The...

Did the Giants close the talent gap? Ranking NFC East offenses position-by-position

Let’s see how the Giants fare in our unscientific ranking

The New York Giants are in the midst of their offseason program now that the draft — which was viewed optimistically by many — has concluded. After a second consecutive dismal season, New York is ready to put up or shut up in a talented and deep NFC East that featured two teams in last year’s NFC Championship game.

With that, I want to dissect the landscape of the NFC East and surmise how the Giants stack up against their opponents. We’re going to rank each position group in the...

Big Blue View mailbag: Joe Schoen, Jaxson Dart’s development, position coaches, more

The mail’s here!

Pat Lam asks: The New York Giants *have drafted well in 2024 and apparently in 2025. Joe Schoen didn’t fare as well in 2022 and 2023. I think 2022 was a tough year for Joe Schoen since he had little time to prepare for the draft. We saw some changes in scouts and the methodology. These last two drafts appear to be stellar. How much do you think this was Joe Schoen getting the scouting department set up the way he wants? How much is it luck (in the way the prospects fall)? The arrow is starting...

Can the Giants center take the next step in his third year?

The New York Giants are facing a pivotal season in 2025.

They need to show improvement or ownership will once again be forced to clean house. The Giants also have one of the youngest rosters in the NFL, and have many players who are technically veterans but also need to improve for the team to be competitive this year and beyond.

This week we asked the Big Blue View community which of the Giants’ young vets you think will make a leap in play this year.

2028 Summer Olympics: Which New York Giants would be best for flag football?

2028 Summer Olympics: Which New York Giants would be best for flag football?

Malik Nabers seems like a no-brainer

NFL owners passed a resounding 32-0 resolution to allow NFL players to participate in flag football for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Of course, financial safeguards will be in place in case of injuries, which is likely why the owners felt comfortable passing the legislation.

Commissioner Roger Goodell has expanded the NFL internationally and continues to expand the game to other countries in an attempt to pique interest and tap into different markets. What better way to do that than to allow the best football players to represent their countries in the...

This New York Giants’ wide receiver named league’s most underrated

This New York Giants’ wide receiver named league’s most underrated

ESPN gives Darius Slayton his due

Darius Slayton of the New York Giants has been named the NFL’s most underrated wide receiver by Aaron Schatz of ESPN.

Schatz judged an underrated player at every position in the league. Here is his criteria:

It could be that a player is misconstrued as good when they’re actually great. It could mean a player is considered average by fans, but he’s actually above average on the field. It can even point to a player being acceptably productive despite being criticized for being subpar.

Why Slayton? Schatz writes:

Slayton wasn’t supposed to...
