The Chiefs have play-makers on offense, but they need someone to block QB Alex Smith's blind-spot, and Central Michigan's Eric Fisher will take over that role. Fisher comes from a mid-sized school, so this is a chance. But Chiefs start the Andy Reid Era off right with a player who should be there for at least a decade.

Cowboys Defeat Giants: We hand out Game Falls (secondary, Wilson, Diehl) & Game Balls after loss
The first Game Balls and Game Falls edition of the new season doesn't come with a triumphant return for the defending NFL champions, but rather a rude awakening at home. The New York Giants opened their title defense with a 24-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on the league's opening night, a disappointing loss for a team that spent a whole lot of time talking trash leading up to this game.

Giants WR Hakeem Nicks breaks right foot, could miss 12 weeks
The Giants announced some extremely bad news to the fan base today, saying wide receiver Hakeem Nicks broke his right foot during the second day of organized team activities. He is expected to miss 12 weeks, which would have him back on the field in mid-August. That would leave little time for him to get back into playing shape, as the season kicks off September 5 against Dallas.

Analyzing the entire 2012 New York Giants draft class

Giants draft Virginia Tech RB David Wilson with first round pick
The Giants took care of one of their needs with the final pick of the NFL draft's first round Thursday night, selecting Virginia Tech running back David Wilson. The pick of Wilson was a bit of a surprise, as there were several players at the spot that could have been chosen instead.

The New York Giants went with offense again on Day 2 of the NFL draft, selected LSU wide receiver Rueben Randle with their second round pick. The Giants actually talked about taking Randall at the end of the first round, so they are obviously happy he fell to them in Round 2.

New York Giants 2012 schedule, breakdowns and predictions
The NFL announced the 2012 schedule tonight and here is the New York Giants breakdown. The team has a host of primetime games, including the overall opening night game against the Dallas Cowboys at home on a Wednesday night. Then, Big Blue has a Thursday night game (at Carolina), two Sunday night affairs (at Philadelphia and home against Green Bay) and a Monday night matchup at Washington.
Proving he's indeed a household name after winning his second Super Bowl championship back in February, Giants quarterback Eli Manning will host Saturday Night Live on May 5. He will be joined by musical guest Rihanna. Manning's brother, Peyton, hosted the show in the past.
Forget about a Giants reunion with running back Brandon Jacobs. The power back signed Wednesday with the San Francisco 49ers. Jacobs is the second Giant free agent to pick the Niners, joining wide receiver Mario Manningham.
As the defending Super Bowl champions, the New York Giants knew they would get the opening night slot as the new NFL kicks off, but the opponent has been unknown. Until now. The Giants will take on the rival Dallas Cowboys Wednesday night, September 5, at MetLife Stadium.
It's been a relatively quiet free agency period for the New York Giants, but the team has made some good moves even though they're not blockbuster signings. Perhaps the best move the organization made so far was signing tight end Martellus Bennett from the Dallas Cowboys.
With free agency starting March 13, the Giants, like many other teams, will be looking for ways to improve their roster. In order to do so one pervading truth must always be self-evident; keep the good ones and cut the bad ones loose. There's a handful of Big Blue members the G-men need to keep and a few others they can let walk. In short we pay him or slay him.
The Giants will make their way through the Canyon of Heroes Tuesday morning with a ticker-tape parade, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Sunday night. The parade will start at Battery Place and Washington Street starting at 11 a.m.
We're handing out game balls after the Giants defeated the New England Patriots, 21-17, to win Super Bowl XLVI. The Giants are your world champions.
Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw could have been the biggest goat in Super Bowl history - for scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the final moments. Bradshaw broke free up the middle against the Patriots defense and had a clear path to the end zone from six yards out. With Giants players screaming at him to take a knee at the one-yard line, Bradshaw turned and fell into the end zone.
First there was the David Tyree helmet-catch in Super Bowl 42, now there is Mario Manningham's tight-rope 38-yard sideline grab in Super Bowl 46. Both will be equally remembered as great plays in not only Giants history, but Super Bowl history as well.
If there was any question as to whether or not Giants quarterback Eli Manning was indeed elite or not, it was emphatically answered in Super Bowl XLVI. Manning was simply outstanding in the game, leading the Giants to a 21-17 victory and world championship. But it was his play in the clutch that puts him in the upper echelon of quarterbacks.
Here's our quick Thoughts & Observations from the third quarter of Super Bowl XLVI. The New England Patriots lead the New York Giants 17-15.
Here are our Thoughts & Observations from the first half of Super Bowl XLVI from Indianapolis. The New England Patriots lead the New York Giants 10-9.
The Super Bowl is just hours away but there already is some interesting news coming out of both camps, and it's not good. Both the Giants and Patriots, teams that already aren't the most popular in the league, committed what easily could be considered personal fouls Saturday.
We all knew Super Bowl XLVI would come. But who'd have guessed even less than a week ago that we’d be entertained by a replay of one of the most exciting Super Bowls in recent history – Super Bowl XLII – in another New York vs. Boston showdown.
We're handing out game balls and game falls after the Giants defeated the San Francisco 49ers in overtime, 20-17, to win the NFC Championship game. The Giants now advance to the Super Bowl in Indianapolis two weeks from now against the New England Patriots.
If we learned anything from the conference championship games Sunday night it was special teams matter. Big time. The Baltimore Ravens are going home because of theirs', as a 32-yard field goal attempt that would have sent the game to overtime was badly missed by kicker Billy Cundiff. The Giants, on the other hand, are going to the Super Bowl because of their special teams.
Anyone who’s watched the New York Giants since Week 16 has to be asking, “Is this team destined to be in the Super Bowl or what?" After all, who lives like this? Which team in the NFL do you know plays mediocre and inconsistently throughout the regular season only to enter the playoffs and then start blowing teams suddenly and without explanation out of their socks?
The New York Giants' 37-20 victory over the Green Bay Packers in an NFC divisional playoff wasn't without its game-changing, momentum-shifting plays. In fact, there was a season's worth of moments on the frozen field at Lambeau Field. Here's a breakdown of the seven big moments that led the Giants to the NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday.
We're handing out game balls and game falls after the Giants defeated the Green Bay Packers, 37-20, in an NFC divisional playoff game Sunday. The Giants now advance to the NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers. And, yes, we'll get to the terrible officiating as well.
As much as the Giants claim to own New York, especially when they are playing in an NFC divisional playoff game against the Green Bay Packers, this week proved otherwise. Here's the day-by-day breakdown of a week that should have belonged to the Giants, but had them regulated to secondary status.
When the 2011 NFL season began, many figured the road to Super Bowl XLVI would go through Green Bay. Certainly, however, no one figured it would be the New York Giants that would be the team driving through.
The Giants may have been set as 8.5-point underdogs for their NFC divisional playoff game next Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, but don't tell that to Jason Pierre-Paul. The Giants defensive end basically guaranteed his team would beat the top-seed in the NFC, saying he was "100 percent" sure Big Blue would advance to the NFC championship game.
We're handing out game balls and game falls after the Giants defeated the Atlanta Falcons, 24-2, in an NFC wild card playoff game Sunday. The Giants now advance to the divisional round to play the 15-1 Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Already, Big Blue is listed as a 10-point underdog. I'm sure the Giants don't care about that right now.
The best thing about this year’s NFL playoffs is that the New York Giants are in it. That hasn’t been a statement you could make since Big Blue was eliminated by Philadelphia in a windy divisional playoff game in the old Meadowlands Stadium in 2009. It’s hard to believe with all the talent the Giants roster has boasted in recent years that they’ve been absent from the postseason for three years, but that is the case.
The hottest part of the flame is blue. Why? Because it’s the most energized. It’s simple science. Right now the hottest team in football is Big Blue — the New York Football Giants.
You couldn’t ask for a more exciting finish to a season: two divisional foes duking it out in the final game of the season — winner takes all while the loser pulls up some sofa and watches the playoffs at home like the rest of us.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Make no mistake, this was a monumentally huge game for the New York Jets. As much as the Jets could have taken a huge step toward the postseason, and that is the ultimate goal, this game was all about breaking free from the other New York team once and for all.
GameDay's Brad Carroll and Steve Morton go back-and-forth in anticipation of the biggest Jets-Giants game in history Saturday night, where the winner will take a big step toward qualifying for the playoffs, while the loser most likely will not make the postseason at all. Got a response or comment of your own on the rivalry? We want to read it in the comments section below.
Giants fans expecting a big finish from Big Blue may be in for a giant disappointment. In fact, we may have already seen the end to the New York Giants' season.
They say identity theft affects one in every six Americans. Add the New York Giants to the recent list of victims. Two weeks into the 2011 NFL season and its as if someone robbed the Giants of who they once were.
I’d like to say I didn’t see that coming. But then again maybe I did. Maybe deep down inside every Giants fan was already aware that their team wasn’t firing all cylinders entering into Sunday’s NFL season opener in Washington. Maybe we all knew it, but we didn’t want to accept it.
This is getting a little out of hand now. The Eagles have confirmed the signing of former New York Giants wide receiver Steve Smith. The deal is reportedly for one year. Just hours ago Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Smith was still nowhere near ready to play football this season. The Eagles, however, don't care about that and have signed the wide-out. Now, the question is, when will Smith get the chance to touch the ball in that very talented offense when he is able to return from microfracture knee surgery.
Can someone let the New York Giants know the NFL lockout is over, because obviously the team has no clue they can sign players during this hectic offseason. Big Blue, if you can still call them that, has done absolutely nothing since an agreement was reached to open free agency. Well, except to tell a player's agent to seek a trade for them.
The standoff between the Giants and Osi Umenyiora could be on the verge of reaching new heights of acrimony. The Newark Star-Ledger, and other outlets, are reporting the Giants have rescinded their offer to Umenyiora's camp to seek a trade partner for the team.
Last week, the main question surrounding the New York Giants was will they or won't they sign Plaxico Burress. That ended with a thunderous, and embarrassing, "no" as the receiver went to the Jets. This week, the prime query is will they or won't they ship out disgruntled defensive end Osi Umenyiora.

Giants release Brandon Jacobs: For Giants fans, this news cuts deep
It might be business as usual for general managers across the NFL, but either way you look at it, it hurts to watch the Giants and running back Brandon Jacobs part ways. Business is business, and it always will be. What can you do? When money is the point of argument there's no telling what might happen.
