The Giants remain a flawed football team that needs better from their quarterback, more reliable blocking from their rebuilt offensive line, more big plays from their skill position players and more consistently dependable defense. At the heart of any 6-10 team lie problems that need fixing.
But give this group credit: In a season that nearly went off the rails in the first half, when the Giants started the season 0-5 and then skittered to 1-7, they showed grit, determination and heart in going 5-3 the rest of the way and performed admirably under must-win conditions in Sunday’s regular-season finale.
