It was just a few short weeks ago that everything was so shiny and new, it was hard to not get excited about the Giants.
They seemed to have all the pieces in place to execute a quick turnaround from the 3-13 season a year before, become one of those worst-to-first teams that the NFL provides just about every year. With top players at wide receiver and running back, different faces on the offensive line, and a college of coaches who had found success elsewhere with seemingly less talent that the Giants were providing, of course the Giants would improve.
