24-30 in 3+ seasons since their last SB win. Coughlin's final stand?

It's actually even worse at 22-28 and that includes a 6-2 start in 2012. They're 16-26 in their last 42 - yikes.

As long as they don't resign Preston Parker.
 
I watched the 3 Giant's games (condensed) this weekend and they actually look pretty good in my opnion.  I love the way their D is filling the gaps. It's a bend without break D.  Amukamura, Collins, Unga, Hankins and Jenkins are all starting out playing good solid football.  Wynn, Casillas, DRC, Beason and others also are.  No superstars but a lot of good solid players.
 
At the same time the O-line has been better than expected.
 
The Giants may come around.

Francesa said he had to cut his workout short. 

Looks like we do need to sign a Welker or Nicks.

deep inside Guido territory
Several players in the Buffalo Bills locker room said Odell Beckham Jr. threw multiple punches after the whistle in the New York Giants' 24-10 win at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday, describing the Giants receiver as a "prima donna" and a "golden boy."
The reason linebacker Preston Brown retaliated after a play late in the fourth quarter was because Beckham punched him. Then, three snaps later, the wideout punched safety Duke Williams after an interception. Cornerback Stephon Gilmore, one player who faced Beckham much of the game, described Beckham as a little brother who throws "tantrums" after the whistle.
When Beckham's name is brought up in the locker room Tuesday, the soft-spoken Gilmore shakes his head.“I don’t know what’s up with him," Gilmore said. "He acts like nobody’s supposed and you’re supposed to let him catch the ball. He’s weird. He gets mad when you play physical with him. He’s weird.
“He’s different. It’s kind of like you’re playing your little brother and he gets mad at you for being too physical with him — throwing a tantrum. I’m like, ‘Man, we’re playing football. It’s a physical game. ... He’s a prima donna. He feels like he’s on top of the world and nobody’s supposed to do anything to him."
On Brown's 15-yard unsportsmanlike flag, he said Beckham was already getting into it with a different player so he came over "to be peacemaker." Beckham threw a quick punch, so he reacted.
“They were doing everything in the book they could to try to get a free 15," Brown said. "They would say anything they thought would rile us up. Words usually don’t do anything, but when they start swinging at you — they did that a lot. They were throwing a lot of cheap shots.”
Not that this was a total surprise to them.
Players saw on the Giants/Redskins film from the previous week that Beckham does this often after the whistle. Cheap stunts, they say, are a part of his game.
“That’s what he does. He’ll get away with it," Brown said. "He’s the ‘golden boy’ of the league. He’s on the cover of Madden. Sometimes, you get away with stuff like that.”
And Beckham wasn't done.
Three plays later, after Gilmore's interception of Eli Manning, he punched safety Duke Williams. The safety blocked Beckham, the two got up on their feet and then Beckham threw a jab.
Unlike Brown, he did not retaliate. Williams figured the official would call something since the punch was thrown, as he said, "face to face, clear as day" right in front of him.
“A guy like that," Williams said, "you expect him to be a stand-up guy but I guess it is a part of his game. He likes to throw cheap shots here and there and gets away with it. I guess it’s his thing. ...Right in front of the referee and he threw a jab at me and ran behind his teammates. He ran away. I’m just like, ‘Wow. That’s crazy.’”

When Brown got back to his locker after the game, his phone lit up with messages from friends, who were shocked to see him react like this, since that hasn't been his style in the past.
“Now that everybody saw us on TV, it looks like we’re going crazy," Brown said. "So now, every team is going to do that. Now, we understand that’s going to happen. So we’ll just sit back, relax and laugh. It’s just a mentality now. We know we can’t do that stuff in the NFL. If somebody throws the punch, we’re going to look at him and laugh. We can’t do anything and they probably won’t get the flag for it either. If we retaliate, we’re going to get the flag.”
Between the whistles, the Bills did an excellent job on Beckham in the loss. He had only five receptions for 38 yards on 12 targets.
Gilmore, who studies receivers across the NFL, said Beckham is "alright."
“I don’t really watch TV and listen to the hype. I study guys on the film and then I judge him," the corner said. "He’s not Sammy Watkins. He has good hands, he can catch. He’s good but he’s not what people think after that one catch.”

"His world is based on hype and that one catch," Gilmore said. "Everybody sees that, everybody knows him for that and people don’t really look at the film and watch him and really don’t know what type of player he is."

It's been enjoyable watching Eli Manning in Ben McAdoo's offense. 
 
 
The New York Football Giants are almost in the same exact position they were in last season: 0-2 start, 3 consecutive wins to get to a 3-2 record.  Week six was Eagles week last year too.  It was the only game Beckham and Cruz played together, and it was a 27-0 Eagles victory.  The Eagles were dominant, bringing pressure up the middle and stopping any running game.  We'll see what a year of experience does for Pugh-Richburg-Schwartz against Philly's A-gap blitzes.  The Eagles (and Cowboys) have been one-sided the past few years, and the only time Chip Kelly has lost to them is when Matt Barkley was the starting quarterback.

All over a routine cortisone shot. Unreal.

Corticosteroids are not benign drugs. They have potent immunosuppressive effects. Even if the solution and needle were sterile, I can easily see how this can happen. I mean, I bet I have MRSA colonized on me somewhere at this point.
