The New York Giants finished their
2014 season with a loss at home to the Philadelphia Eagles. They finished the season at 6-10 but after
losing seven straight, they were able to win three straight before losing this
final game. There were positives to take
out of the season like Eli Manning having a very good year and rookie wide
receiver Odell Beckham Jr. becoming one of the best receivers in the
league. The defense wasn't very good at
all this season and they weren't very good in this final game. Jason Pierre-Paul had a good season and will
want to be paid but it remains to be seen if the Giants will bring him
back. Antrelle Rolle is also a free
agent but he had a poor season and I don't see him coming back. Tom Coughlin will be coming back after all
with more changes expected on his staff.
If I had to guess I would think they fire Perry Fewell the defensive
coordinator and keep the tandem of Coughlin and McAdoo together as the offense
grew this season and are heading into the offseason feeling very good about
themselves and what they can do in the future.
The final score was 34-26, Eli
Manning was 28-53 for 429 yards and a touchdown. Andre Williams had 43 yards rushing on 15
carries and Rashad Jennings had 33 yards rushing on 10 carries. Beckham led the receivers once again. He had 12 catches for 185 yards and a touchdown. Ruben Randle had six catches for 158 yards
and it is easy to see why they are excited with Victor Cruz coming back next
year to pair with these two.
Mark Sanchez for the Eagles was
23-36 for 292 yards and two touchdowns.
McCoy had 99 yards rushing on 17 carries and Polk had 38 rushing yards
on seven carries. Matthews had eight
catches for 105 yards and a touchdown.
Pierre-Paul had two sacks for the
Giants, Herzlich had a sack along with Kuhn.
Harris had an interception. Josh
Brown the kicker was 4-4 on field goals and made both extra points as
well.
The Giants lost their first two
games of the season and then won three straight to be 3-2 on the season. They
then lost seven straight before winning three straight coming into this
game. Their head coach and GM have been
on the hot seat but it appears that both will be staying. The Giants are going to need to turn it
around next year though and make the playoffs or else I could see both of them
not returning.
