Giants Resemble A Paper Tiger In Humiliating Defeat
By "John Johnson"

Off-Season 2105 (Albany, NY) - One can say that the Giants Cinderella Story in the 2105 season had a very fitting ending. The clock finally struck midnight for the Miracle Giants, and they turned into a rotting pumpkin festering in the Miami heat.

The Giants did not look the part of a 13-1 team throughout the season, feasting on a weak schedule following a 6-8 campaign. The Giants were the middle of the pack on both sides of the ball. Sure, Monte Owen won the MVP award for his play, but who did he face? It was easy to put up MVP numbers when the teams they faced had a combined win-loss record of 52-88, and even then the numbers in the stat sheets were not impressive. The only blemish was a 34-14 loss against the Redskins that should've exposed the Giants back then, but somehow they kept defying the odds and kept on winning.

They won't have the same luxury in the 2106 season, as they now face a first place schedule that features a rematch with the Bills in the last week of the season, and against a Kansas City team that threw the ball to and fro as they pleased. A 13-1 record is out of the question for sure, and unless the Giants can perform miracles in the offseason, the playoffs may be out of the question as well.

When it came down to it, when it counted, the Giants were simply outmanned and outcoached. The 13-1 Giants, who may have been the last hope to beat a team that only comes around once in a century, ended up nothing more than a paper tiger. A poor shanty filled village in the path of a category 5 hurricane, if you will. There is a perfectly good reason why Morgan Capper is a three time champion, and his 'rival' Monte Owen isn't. Capper has the 'it' factor. He has what it takes to be a champion regardless of who he has around him, while at this point you just can't call Owen a 'rival' to his longtime nemesis anymore. Not to discredit the Bills, as it was said in this article, the Bills overall are a team that comes by once in a century.

Nobody in the Giants organization had any comments to this paper, and nobody can blame them for not showing their faces after such a humbling defeat.
