Coach Talk

Giant’s tuff
Listen, Giant’s tuff, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real guts to deploy a starter with negative points (Nick Folk) while still earning the W. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Wile E. Ballz
As we say adios to 2022, let's look back on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just five ups and 10 downs, but still... Our coaching staff thanks you for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2023!
