Giants owner finally speaks, asks fans for patience

A New York Giants owner has finally broken his silence, providing fans with no answers, but requesting patience from them.

The New York Giants are currently mired in an eight-game losing streak — the second-longest such streak in franchise history — and all has remained silent in East Rutherford.

Besides the usual barrage of questioning for head coach Pat Shurmur and whatever players the team makes available throughout the week, no one has stepped up to face the music.

After canceling weekly interviews with WFAN, the Giants have enacted life as it would be seen in the film, “A Quiet Place.” There were no bye week press conferences, general manager Dave Gettleman has not been heard from in months and co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch have remained out of sight.

That changed on Tuesday as Tisch briefly stepped out from the shadows in order to attend the March of Dimes Luncheon.

NBC 4’s Bruce Beck was able to corner Tisch and fire off some questions regarding the current state of the franchise, what — if any — changes were coming this offseason and if there was any specific message for fans.

There was.

Tisch offered absolutely no vote of confidence for Gettleman or Shurmur heading into the offseason, and arguably sounded a bit more assertive than usual.

Who wouldn’t love to be a fly on the wall when Tisch and Mara sit down to discuss what needs to be done and what’s next? You have to imagine that will be an emotionally-charged conversation.

What we learned from Giants’ 19-14 loss to Bears

The New York Giants lost to the Chicago Bears, 19-14, in Week 12 and here’s some of what we learned from that loss.

The New York Giants went on the road to face the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday, and what transpired was a disaster. The defense largely did its job, save for Corey Ballentine, but the offense couldn’t put enough points on the board, in part due to two missed field goals by Aldrick Rosas.

That said, here is what we learned from the Giants’ loss to the Bears in Week 12.

Aldrick Rosas is a mess

Rosas ranks 32nd among 38 active field goal kickers in percentage made at 67%. He missed two field goals against the Bears. Had he made those, the Giants would have won. One miss was due to a poor snap, but he’s now missed either a field goal or a PAT in the last five games straight.

Not only that, but Rosas had a kickoff go out of bounds and had some words with Pat Shurmur on the sideline. An All-Pro kicker one year ago, Rosas’ decline is surprising and frustrating. He’s in his third year in the league, all with the Giants, and this is by far his worst season yet.
