Cannot fucking believe the Giants could wind up finishing 7-9 after starting 0-6.
I can't wait to see what kind of contract Nicks gets next year. If he had stayed healthy and had a year even close to what he did in 2011, he'd have gotten a monster multi-year deal from somebody. Instead he continues to get banged up, missed the biggest game of the year, and is staring a year with 0 TD right in the face. I still think he'll get a multi-year deal from somebody, but I think the guaranteed money will be relatively low so the team can get out of it if he gets hurt again.
Giants made the right call in making locking up Cruz the priority over Nicks. Mind Cruz only had 4 TD this year (none since week 4) but at least he still got close to 1,000 yards receiving and would have easily eclipsed it were it not for the injury. Big plays down field are still his specialty and where he gets most of his TDs, but the Giants haven't really been able to bomb it down field when Eli gets swarmed every other time he has to drop back. They'll go O-line in either the first or second round, if not both. Probably will draft a new WR to groom as well to compete with Jernigan for the #3 spot. Dunno how sold I am on Randle being a #2, he seems to work best as a #3, but they'll have to make due unless they can find budget room to pick up a solid #2 WR in free agency, if there are any out there.
