We have to admit, things have been looking up for the New York Giants. Victor Cruz, Jon Beason and Geoff Schwartz should be good to come back from their injuries. The Giants had a strong draft in which they improved on the offensive line as well as getting tougher on defense. The additions of Kenrick Ellis and Shane Vereen are especially exciting moves. Lately we have had a lot of positive things to say about our beloved Giants.

The Giants know too well the potential perils of an NFL season. The Giants have had back to back losing seasons. They have suffered devastating injuries to key players, lost some heartbreakers against division rivals and had some real struggles on both sides of the football.

While there are plenty of things to be happy and excited about, there is just as much to be worried about.
