    New York Giants 2012 Season Recap 2012 New York Giants

    NEW YORK GIANTS 2012 SEASON RECAP The 2012 Giants finished 9-7 and in second place in the NFC East. It was the eighth consecutive season in which the Giants finished .500 or better, their longest such streak since they played 10 seasons in a row without a losing record from 1954-63. The Giants finished with a winning record for the third consecutive season, the first time they had done that since 1988-90 (when they were 10-6, 12-4, 13-3). Despite extending those streaks, they did not earn a postseason berth. The Giants lost control of their playoff destiny with back-to-back late-season defeats in Atlanta and Baltimore. They routed Philadelphia in their finale, but soon learned they were eliminated when Chicago beat Detroit. The Giants compiled numerous impressive statistics in 2012. They scored 429 points, the second-highest total in franchise history; the 1963 Giants scored 448. The 2012 season was the fifth in the 88-year history of the franchise in which the Giants scored more than 400 points. The Giants scored a franchise- record 278 points at home, shattering the old mark of 248, set in 2007. In their last three home games – victories over Green Bay, New Orleans and Philadelphia – the Giants scored 38, 52 and 42 points. The 2012 team allowed an NFL-low 20 sacks. The Giants were fourth in the NFL in both takeaways (35, four more than they had in 2011) and turnover differential (plus-14, a significant improvement over 2011’s plus-7). The plus-14 was the Giants’ best turnover differential since they were plus-25 in 1997.

    New York Giants: 2014 Financial Scouting Report Written By: Jason Fitzgerald, Overthecap.com Date: January 10, 2014 e-mail: [email protected] Introduction Welcome to one of the newest additions to the Over the Cap website: the offseason Financial Scouting Report, which should help serve as a guide to a teams’ offseason planning for the 2014 season. This report focuses on the New York Giants and time permitting I will try to have a report for every team between now and the start of free agency in March. If you would like copies of other reports that are available please either e-mail me or visit the site overthecap.com The Report Contains: Current Roster Overview 2013 Team Performances Compared to NFL Averages Roster Breakdown Charts Salary Cap Outlook Unrestricted and Restricted Free Agents Potential Salary Cap Cuts NFL Draft Selection Costs and Historical Positions Selected Salary Cap Space Extension Candidates Positions of Need and Possible Free Agent Targets Any names listed as potential targets in free agency are my own opinions and do not reflect any “inside information” reflecting plans of various teams. It is simply opinion formed based on player availability and my perception of team needs. Player cost estimates are based on potential comparable players within the market. OTC continues to be the leading independent source of NFL salary cap analysis and we are striving to continue to produce the content and accurate contract data that has made us so popular within the NFL community. The report is free for download and reading, but if you find the report useful and would like to help OTC continue to grow we would appreciate the “purchase” of the report for just $1.00 by clicking the Paypal link below.
