The group of numberFire football writers have been writing these team reviews for about two months now, ever since the NFL’s regular season concluded. They’ve been great resources to go through, as each recap tends to prepare you, the reader, for what’s to come with each NFL team throughout the offseason.

I was prepared today to publish the final one, looking back at the Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl season. But when looking through my notes, I realized something was missing – it was like the moment Kevin McCallister’s mother realizes her son is missing in the movie Home Alone.

But instead of “Kevin!”, I’m left shouting, “Eli!”

I forgot about the New York Giants.

So while the plan was to publish the Seattle article – the final one in this 32 article series – today, it looks as though you’re all stuck with the polar opposite of the Seahawks on this Monday. That’s right, you get to read about everyone’s favorite 2013 dumpster fire, the New York Giants.

The Good

Was there anything good to take away from the Giants’ 2013 campaign? I suppose you could call a E. Honda from Street Fighter continuously slap his helpless opponent against the wall. And yes, in this analogy, the Giants are getting slapped.

Let’s get it over quickly and first look at everyone's favorite fantasy football failure, going the wrong way in 2013.

As a result of a poor passing and random fill-ins to run the football, the Giants finished 2013 with the second-worst offense in the league, ahead of only the Jacksonville Jaguars.

What Should They Do?

There are plenty of players I didn't even mention in the bad section above, but it's more or less the same story: The Giants need help on the offensive side of the ball. Hakeem Nicks won't be with the team in 2014 (which is fine), and the running back position has a ton of uncertainty as well. When you factor in an offensive line that Football Outsiders ranked as 30th in run blocking and 19th in pass blocking, you've got yourself a full-blown mess.

Expect the Giants to address the offense. We could see an entirely different type of unit in 2014.

As noted, the defense is a lot better than people probably think. Perhaps a corner opposite of Prince Amukamura could help, but I'd expect more to be done this offseason on the offensive side of the ball.

The future isn't necessarily dim for the Giants, as we've seen Eli Manning turn this team around in the past. But having nothing but optimism wouldn't be smart - the Giants are not the same team they were when they won the Super Bowl just three seasons ago.
