For all the negativity on the board

Giants73 : 10/14/2021 3:26 pm
I believe we have a few bright spots this year. Looks like the Giants finally have a good offensive line coach in Rob Sale. The o line has been decimated with injuries and he has put together a line that has played well for the most part. Another bright spot, he has help Thomas expand on his second half last year. Thomas seems to be a bright spot for this team as well. Going to leave off any other part that I think is working and improved, because these might be the only two non debatable strong points of this season so far.
Nice handle

This made me laugh.
Some may say

The 1973 draft started the rebuild of the great Giants LB core, grabbing both Van Pelt and Kelly in that draft.

I like your points better '73! ;)
I am very happy with what Sale and staff have done with the OL so far. That said LAST year I was ecstatic with what Graham did with the Defense. He went from HC material to hot seat material pretty quickly.
sorry,but any bright spots

the Giants have a tendency of getting rid of.....
1972-1973: The year I got my tickets…

2022: the year I am probably gonna sell them. They are great seats: the people around me have had them since 1925. But I am too old for that long ride home after just about every home game.
I was there when it was “15 years of rotten football…we’ve had enough”!
Well, it’s close to that now and I’ve had enough!
I love the Giants but “they’re killing me Whitey…there killing me!

I dont blame you. The team is not easy on the eyes right now
especially on D.
Van Pelt was a big reason why I became a Giants fan

Living in Queens, by Shea....the Jets coming off the 69 Super Bowl....had many going to the Jets.

He was my favorite player for many years.
I agree with the OP

Especially considering how deep into the roster they’ve had to dig due to all the injuries and despite that the unit has actually improved. I might ass DJ and WRs with their injuries as well as groups that have been bright spots thus far. Ironically the script seems to have flipped between offense and defense this year.
Van Pelt was a great Giant and Kelly a good one

Nice thread OP

But the next week or week after make sure to modify it after our OL begins to eventually get wiped out.

I just don't think they can hold up.
its possible if we had a coach like sale the last 4 years  
Platos : 10/14/2021 6:16 pm : link
we'd have a much better record.

some games we were just so bad at protecting neither eli nor jones ever had a chance.
By the time we get the deck chairs on the titanic rearranged

You forgot the most memorable part of that season, playing at the Yale Bowl. I traveled to every one of those home games up there that season. Anyone else remember the last home game against the Vikings in that big blizzard?
