Why a Week 1 loss could have deeper impact for Giants
The difference between 1-0 and 0-1 is huge for the Giants. A win or loss must be determined after Sunday's game at MetLife Stadium, and my advice is to avoid a no-and-1.

Giants players not totally sold on ‘Century Red’ uniforms but happy to celebrate franchise

Giants keeping Josh Ezeudu, Evan Neal ready for anything on O-line

Brian Daboll wants Daniel Jones to ‘turn it loose’ in critical Giants year
The biggest fallacy repeated over and over about the Giants is that Daniel Jones needs to play like he will in 2022 to silence his critics.
