Last week Justin Tuck wondered whether the Giants have been suffering a little bit of a crisis of confidence. Well, I don’t think that’s really a problem anymore. “I think we still have the utmost confidence in ourselves,” defensive end Osi Umenyiora said on a conference call today. “Obviously that was a game we lost. But we should’ve won. I don’t think that...

The Giants’ season has fallen apart in the last month, but according to Tom Coughlin all is not lost. The coach said today that he saw some positive signs in the Giants’ heart-breaking, 21-20 loss to San Diego yesterday. And he remains firmly convinced that there’s still plenty of time for this Giants team to make a playoff run. “That’s what we really believe,”...

With the Yankees parade having already fluttered through downtown, and the Jets taking a week off from their up-and-down season, there's not much to write about this morning except the Giants' miserable afternoon yesterday. Leading up to the game, Coach Tom Coughlin had declared it a "one-game season," and linebacker Antonio Pierce called it the "Super Bowl," so you can imagine...

2:53 p.m. — LB Michael Boley and DT Chris Canty are in the lineup and ready to go. The Giants just released their inactives and neither player was on the list. For Boley, it will be his first game since Oct. 4 when he suffered a partially torn meniscus in his right knee and was forced to have surgery. For Canty, it will be his first action since he strained his calf on opening day. Boley —...

C.C. Brown told Jenny Vrentas Thursday it was his fault DeSean Jackson got wide open for a 54-yard TD. The Giants’ coaches apparently agreed. Aaron Rouse, not Brown, was working with the first-team defense during the portion of Friday’s practice that was open to the media. That’s a pretty good indication Rouse has supplanted Brown as the Giants’ starting safety. The coaches...

THE GAME: San Diego Chargers (4-3) at Giants (5-3), CBS, 4:15 p.m. WHAT IT MEANS: Now that the Yankees are no longer distracting the New York area, the focus turns to what a mess the football teams have become. This may not literally be a “one-game season” as Tom Coughlin said this week, but the last thing the Giants want is two weeks to hear about, think about, and talk about a four-game...

There apparently is no way to overstate the importance of this week’s game. With the Giants riding a three-game losing streak and facing a schedule that just doesn’t get any easier, Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce has declared this “the Super Bowl for the New York Giants”.. That’s how much the Giants need a win this Sunday when the San Diego Chargers come to town. “If...

Eight games into the season, there’s only one thing anyone can say about the Giants with any conviction: They desperately need the bye week. I’ve been around losing teams before, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a group less sure exactly why they’re losing. They haven’t experienced a slide like this since 2006, before most of them were even here, and they certainly...
