When we booted the ball on the 2017 season, we had stratospheric expectations for the New York Football Giants.
They were coming off a sublime campaign under rookie head coach Ben McAdoo, ordained an offensive guru who was fortified with sagacious free agent signings on defense. All three mercenaries — Olivier Vernon, Janoris Jenkins and Damon “Snacks” Harrison — played past the back of their glittering football cards. Then this year, the Giants signed all-world wideout Brandon Marshall, whom, with Odell Beckham Jr. in his prime and Sterling Shepard entering his, gave us the sense that the world was their Big Blue oyster.
