those focus largely on numbers. The only number that really matters for the Giants as they prepare to head south for a Monday Night Football game against the Atlanta Falcons is that 1-5 record.Whatever side you’ve chosen in all the Eli Manning-Odell Beckham Jr.-John Mara drama that has been unfolding Cheap Evan Engram Jersey , the source of all of that drama is the 1-5 record.Mara says he is “embarrassed” at being 1-5. Coach Pat Shurmur says he is “disappointed.” Fans are mostly hopeless, with only 9 percent showing confidence in the team’s direction in our most recent Fanpulse survey.“I think we need to play better, I think we need to coach better, and we’re certainly not happy with the record. I feel like when you’re close in games, you look back on plays here and plays there, and close isn’t enough. We’ve got to try to find a way to get it over the top.”It’s tough to remember with the taste of last Thursday’s 34-13 whipping by the Philadelphia Eagles still fresh, but the Giants have indeed been “close in games” several times in their five losses. Close enough to have perhaps won three of them, to perhaps be sitting at 3-3 or 4-2 at this point without all the drams having unfolded.Week 1 — The Giants lose 20-15 at home to a Jacksonville Jaguars team that, as the season has unfolded, was more vulnerable than last season’s AFC Championship Game appearancemight have indicated. The defense gave up just 13 points. Awful offensive line play that culminated in breakdowns leading to a fourth-quarter Pick 6 by Myles Jack doomed the Giants here.Week 2 — A 20-13 loss on the road to the Dallas Cowboys. This one “should” have been winnable, but the Giants were never really competitive. They trailed 10-0 at the half, 13-0 before getting a field goal and 20-3 before tacking on a couple of stat-enhancing late scores.Week 5 — What do you say when you crack the 30-point mark for the first time in three seasons and still manage to lose on a 63-yard game-ending field goal?That’s three “coulda/woulda/shoulda” games for the Giants already this season. While that’s not really a productive game to play http://www.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-kareem-martin-jersey , good teams find ways to win those, and right now the Giants just aren’t a good team. Can they become one? At least one that provides optimism heading into 2019?We have 10 games to find out.Giants-Falcons by the numbers432 and 401 — The Giants gained 432 vs. Carolina and 401 yards vs. Philadelphia, their first consecutive 400-yard games since Sept. 18 and 25, 2016, when they totaled 417 yards vs. New Orleans and 457 yards against Washington.

Well, Thursday we learned that McGaughey — absent much of the time in recent months — has been undergoing cancer treatments.McGaughey met with reporters on Thursday and said he underwent a procedure during the offseason to remove a growth in his bowel duct B.J. Goodson Jersey , during which cancer was discovered in that growth. He has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments for what he said was approximately the past two months.“It’s going good,” the coach told the media.Giants general manager Dave Gettleman has also been undergoing treatments for lymphoma, and appears to be in remission. The two also worked together with the Carolina Panthers.“We share chemotherapy stories,” McGaughey said with a smile. “It is what it is. Just gotta fight through it.”McGaughey said he has a couple of treatments remaining, but his recent scan was “fine.”McGaughey told reporters he would continue to coach, and that he never thought about missing the season.“As a football coach you don’t think about that stuff. You get up, you do what you do abnd live life,” McGaughey said. “I’m not gonna let any chemotherapy or cancer or anything else get in the way of what I do. I’m a father, I’m a football coach and that’s what I do.“Nobody care. They’re not going to feel sorry for you. It’s get up, go to work and you’ve gotta earn your paycheck.”There were some football-related questions for McGaughey, as well.On his reaction if coach Pat Shurmur lets Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr, return kicks“Thank God ... pretty simple.”“These guys are play makers. Any time you get a chance to put play makers out on the field http://www.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-nate-solder-jersey , give you the best chance to win, that’s what you want to do. You’re trying to win the game,” McGaughey said.“Both those guys are special athletes. Whenever you get a chance to get the ball in the hands of a special athlete you want to do it.”On the punting progress of Riley Dixon“Riley’s getting better. He’s taking the coaching,” McGaughey said. “We made some minor adjustments as far as how he warms up, getting him a settled in routine. He’s coming along.”On changes made by placekicker Aldrick Rosas“More mental than anything. He has a ton of talent. In his mind, he has to have confidence into himself, and just be able to repeat the same process, tedious process over and over again – in his mind as far as being able to take some steps back, see the target, and just relax and swing through the ball,” McGaughey said. “He’s just one year out. He’s getting better.”
