When you’re winning all your problems don’t go away; they’re just hidden with the sweet taste of victory. When your losing your problems are like an aching sore that won’t go away. That’s what the last two seasons have been for the New York Giants. Going through a seven game losing streak is about the most pain a Giants fan can endure, because their weekly escape from work and life in general is an appointment of suffering.

The Giants are a very proud football team, after all they’ve been playing football since 1925. This is a franchise that won four world championships before the Super Bowl was even invented. This same team has won four Super Bowls. The Giants have had a lot of success and much of it has come in the Tom Coughlin/Eli Manning era. The coach and quarterback tandem has won two Super Bowls.
With all that success there was plenty of time to develop a sense of denial about the Giants flaws. The Giants were underdogs in both Super Bowl victories in the Coughlin era; in fact they were underdogs throughout the entire postseason. These were teams that got hot at the right moment and almost snuck into the postseason.
So the past three seasons the Giants haven’t made the postseason. They went from hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in a New York City Super Bowl parade to having losing seasons. Now it is time to take the Super Bowl sunglasses off and address the blaring problems that our beloved Giants have had. Here is what we learned in the Giants 6-10 2014 season.
