New York Giants – NFL Season – Preview
For the NFC coming into 2010, the New York Giants are the wildcard. Giants came out blazing, last year. They were also very popular in football betting odds. They looked as though they were well on their way towards a playoff run and they won their first 5 games. Unfortunately, for the Giants, their fortunes changed and they ran into the Saints.
The Giants were never able to rebound and they went on to lose 4 games in a row. On the season, the team finished with a poor record of 8-8. While scoring less than 10 points, their last two games were blowouts in which they surrendered 40 points or more.
Eli Manning will be one of the big factors in the success of the team. Last season when Manning made a lot of turnovers, the Giants’ losses came often. Manning actually put together a great season in 2009 and he has all of the tools. This year however, Manning will need to limit his turnovers, or the Giants may not be able to step to the next level.
Obviously, coming into 2010 the defense will be a question as well. During the season, there are a few questions surrounding the resilience of the Giants, after giving up 40 or more points 5 times. It seemed that when the opponents started rolling the Giants had no method to stop them, although the Giants did show stretches of good play on defense. As a play of a championship caliber team, it doesn’t sound like the same.
In 2010, the Giants will decide their own fate. They will be a contender, if they can buckle down and play tough.
