The New York Giants hoped the 2021 NFL season would finally be the one in which they return to playoffs. But as it turns out, this season had nothing but disappointments in store for both the team and the Giants fans.

Coach Joe Judge isn’t shying away from the fact that his team is playing bad football and believes he knows who’s responsible for the 1-5 start of the campaign.

“I’m the head coach. It’s my responsibility, point blank,” Judge said during a chat with reporters on Thursday. “Every player on this field, every position group, the execution, it all comes down to me. The fish stinks from the head down.”

Still, Judge said that he is feeling no pressure for having another bad start of the season and compiling a 7-15 record since taking over the Giants. The 39-year-old believes his team will turn things around and that better times for the franchise are around the corner.

“I can assure everyone out there that’s a Giants fan and they want to know when it’s going to turn, I can tell them right now we’re working tirelessly to make sure we get this thing turned around in the right direction, not just for short-term results, but for long-term success,” he added.

While it’s great that Judge remains optimistic, it is still hard to see the Giants getting any better anytime soon. They not only have a tough schedule that will see them play teams with a winning record in their next four games but are also significantly banged up and will be without several of their key players in the coming weeks.

New York Giants didn’t open the 2018 NFL season as they expected, losing to Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboy in the first two games. But despite the 0-2 record to start with, Giants know they are “much better team than that” and are not “overreacting” according to team’s rookie running back Saquon Barkley.

“Yeah I don’t think we feel like we’re a much better team than that, I think we know we’re a much better team than that. I think we know that we’re so close,” – Barkley told reporters. “In this locker room, no one is overreacting. I mean obviously, I’m active on social media so I think a lot of people outside of this locker room and outside this building who are reacting. We are aware 0-2 is not a great start, but it’s not the worst thing possible.”

The 21-year-old went on to say that the team won’t allow critics to get under their skin and that they will bounce back after this rough start of the season.

New York Giants’ struggles could be attributed to several factors, but Saquon Barkley sure isn’t one of them since he is already proving that he might be worthy of the second overall pick that the Giants spent on him in 2018 NFL Draft. In his first two professional games, Barkley rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown while also adding 16 receptions for 102 yards. He will have a chance to improve these stats and maybe get a taste of a win in NFL game when the Giants face Houston Texans this Sunday.

After firing Jerry Reese at the beginning of the month, the New York Giants decided former Carolina Panthers’ man Dave Gettleman as their new general manager. The hiring of Gettleman was confirmed by Giants’ president John Mara and chairman Steve Tisch, who issued a joint statement.

“Given where we are as a team, we thought it was important to bring in someone with experience as a General Manager and a proven track record.” – said the statement. “Dave’s experience is unparalleled. He did an outstanding job as general manager in Carolina, and he was vital to our success during his tenure here. Dave is going to bring his own approach to our organization in how we draft and acquire players through free agency.“

The 66-year-old Gettleman was considered a longtime favorite for the position, especially due to his ties with the organization, something that the Giants considered very important. He served as a scout in 1998, then as pro personnel director from 1999 to 2011, before assuming the role of senior pro personnel analyst in 2012. He was also the GM of the Panthers from 2013 to July 2017.

According to the sources close to the team, the Giants also interviewed assistant general manager Kevin Abrams, vice president of player evaluation Marc Ross and ESPN analyst Louis Riddick for the GM position, before settling on Gettleman.

New Giants GM already had his first news conference and said that he intends to keep both quarterback Eli Manning and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on the team. Besides making the decisions on the status of team’s two biggest stars, Gettleman will have to do much more if he intends to assert Giants as the winning side once more. Although his opinion will be valued when it comes to the man who will replace Ben McAdoo as the head coach, Mara earlier said that he and Tisch will have a final saying in the matter.

The year 2017 is the one that the New York Giants‘ wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will surely want to forget. After suffering an injury in the preseason game against Cleveland Browns, Beckham Jr. was again injured in the Sunday’s loss against Los Angeles Chargers. Although he returned successfully after the first injury, this one will keep him off the field for the rest of the season. After attempting to make a catch in the fourth quarter against the Chargers, Odell fell awkwardly to the ground and suffered fractured left ankle. The tests on Monday confirmed that Beckham will require a surgery.

“I spoke to him after the game,” – said the Giant’s coach Ben McAdoo on a conference call. “It’s a sad situation.“

Odell Beckham Jr. now ends the 2017 NFL season with 25 catches, 302 yards, and 3 touchdowns. 2017 will also be remembered as the first professional season for Beckham in which he had less than 90 catches, 1,300 yards, and 10 touchdowns.

With Beckham being out for the season, the Giants are now short on receivers. Dwayne Harris fractured his foot and won’t play more this year as well. Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard are out with ankle injuries, but should be back soon. With Roger Lewis being the only healthy receiver in on the team, the Giants were forced to look for men to fill their roster. According to sources, they will sign Tavarres King while rookie Travis Rudolph will be brought from the practice squad. After spending the last season with the Giants’ practice squad, Darius Powe will be resigned as well.

The season doesn’t look well for the New York Giants. They already have a 0-5 record, and the thing will probably be even worse without their top 3 wide receivers. On Sunday night, the Giants will face the Denver Broncos, who have the league’s top-ranked defense.

MLB Stat of the day revealed some impressive numbers Indians achieved during their 21 wins run. In 189 innings, Cleveland Indians have trailed in just 4. Team’s starting pitchers are 19-0 with 1.70 ERA. Indians have outscored opponents 139 to 35. Finally, Indians had 41 home runs while allowing only 35 runs.

With their 21 winning streak, Cleveland Indians are now tied with Chicago White Stockings from 1880 and Chicago Cubs from 1935 for the second most consecutive wins in MLB history. The 1916 New York Giants are currently credited with the MLB’s longest winning streak, having won 26 consecutive games. Bleacher Report notes that 13th game of Giants’ 26 games winning streak was ruled as a tie because of darkness. Giants played against Pittsburgh Pirates, and the game was never finished.

Now, if Giants had 12 straight wins, 1 tie, and then had 14 more wins, why are they still credited with the streak? Well, there is an explanation provided by Steve Hirdt, executive vice president at the Elias Sports Bureau, Major League Baseball’s official record keeper.

”A tie was never an acceptable result of a baseball game. The Giants’ 26-game winning streak has existed since the beginning of time. It’s the longest winning streak, it’s the record for most consecutive wins, etc., because a tie game breaks neither a winning streak or losing streak for a team because it always gets replayed unless the season ends first.“

The last time when Indians lost was on August 23, against Boston Red Sox. They will look to continue their streak on Thursday against Kansas City Royals.
