The team that won it all in the 2007 season and then gained the NFC\u2019s top seed in 2008 was expected to go places last year. Instead, New York\u2019s NFC team went nowhere. Big Blue finished 8-8, a full three games out of playoff contention, making coach Tom Coughlin feel distinctly ill.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE TOP CAPPERS FOR NFL FOOTBALL BETTING THIS SEASON —–><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The biggest problem for the Giants was their lack of a pass rush. When the team won Super Bowl XLII a few seasons ago, it was able to get to the opposing quarterback on a consistent basis. However, with Michael Strahan retired and Osi Umenyiora injured (knee), the Giants simply didn\u2019t have enough bodies.<\/p>\n Mathias Kiwanuka and Justin Tuck couldn\u2019t carry the defense by themselves and with the secondary getting torched for the most part \u2013 Aaron Ross in particular \u2013 New York was toothless against most offenses. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Even the Denver Broncos and Kyle Orton (an injured Kyle Orton!) looked good against the Giants\u2019 defense, and that\u2019s the main reason why Coughlin\u2019s crew could only manage a .500 year.<\/p>\n What had to sting even more for the franchise was the fact that the Giants started 5-0. Their decline was partly attributable to injuries, but for a team with playoff experience and high expectations, a number of winnable games should have been claimed.<\/p>\n A home loss to Arizona and another home loss to San Diego really hurt, and because of those twin setbacks, the Giants lacked leverage heading into the final weeks of the season.<\/p>\n Feeling the pressure of having to stay in the playoff chase, this once-steeley ballclub melted down the stretch, surrendering a total of 130 points in three of its last four games.<\/p>\n As the focus shifts to 2010, then, the main key is defense, defense and more defense for the Giants. The team is hoping that Umenyiora has healed to the point where he can once again be a factor on the defensive line.<\/p>\n With linebacker Antonio Pierce gone, the team picked up former Tennessee Titans outside linebacker Keith Bulluck and is in the process of shifting him to middle linebacker.<\/p>\n So intent are the Giants on making defensive changes and getting results that they\u2019ve acquired a new coordinator. Bill Sheridan is out after a miserable 2009 season, and Perry Fewell \u2013 formerly the interim head coach of the Buffalo Bills (previously their defensive coordinator) \u2013 is in as the new defensive mastermind.<\/p>\n Everyone knows that the Giants will lack Super Bowl-level chops unless they get a receiver who can do what jailed star Plaxico Burress once did.<\/p>\n However, this team won\u2019t even make the playoffs if it can\u2019t attain a baseline level of competence and quality on the defensive side of the ball.<\/p>\n The pass rush and secondary coverage have to be a lot better, and Fewell needs to come up with the schemes that will put his defenders in good positions to succeed.<\/p>\n The Giants will not be a complete team. They\u2019ll contend for a playoff spot and might well finish 10-6, but there are other teams in the NFC who are more equipped than Big Blue. The Giants will claim 10 scalps yet fall short of the postseason.<\/p>\n Super Bowl Odds: +2550 Place they\u2019ll finish in NFC East: 2nd <\/strong> It’s another season making NFL previews and Super Bowl predictions for the New York Giants.
