The New York Giants are hoping for an incredible 2015 season. There is nothing more magical than the hope that a new season brings. You can feel it in the air, a new opportunity a new chance with a clean slate. At the end of the day nobody really knows what to expect from this Giants team. The Giants have a surplus of talent but are also overstocked on concerns. Will the Giants fall into the worst case scenarios like they did the last two seasons or will the Giants rise above their problems and delight Giants Nation?

Eli Manning is a great quarterback coming off an amazing statistical performance last season. Manning and the west coast attack of McAdoo go together like bees and honey. The Giants have the weapons for Manning too. Odell Beckham Jr. was the rookie of the year in 2014 and I wouldn’t bet on a sophomore slump. Victor Cruz is one of the most explosive weapons in football. Rueben Randle and Larry Donnell are strong weapons as well.

The biggest question mark for this team is the offensive line. With the Will Beatty injury clouding the Giants fate up front nobody knows what to expect. Ereck Flowers, the Giants first round draft pick, will be given every opportunity to take Beatty’s place. The Giants are expecting a big year from Justin Pugh, though it remains to be seen where he will play on the offensive line. He could stay at right tackle, they could move him to the left tackle spot, but the Giants also feel confident that he could be a good guard. The Giants defense is also littered with question marks. A defense that ranked 29th a year ago, that got pushed around and pulverized, doesn’t just magically get fixed and turned into a dominant unit. There are plenty of concerns for the Giants.

Today we are going to look at the best case and worse case scenarios that face the Giants in 2015. Will the Giants reach their full potential? Will the Giants fall into their worst case scenarios? Or will the Giants fall in-between glory and complete demise?
