It’s been an interesting couple of days in East Rutherford. It started with the end of the Giants’ workweek, on Friday, and how first-year coach Brian Daboll chose to address his players. It was with a question: Does everyone know what’s going to happen if we win?
Daboll got nods and smiles—especially from the players who’ve been around long enough to know how hard the past five years hit a proud franchise.
That he didn’t say the word was no mistake, and his players knew it. Which is why, when he gathered them again Saturday night, less than 24 hours before kickoff against the Colts, at the team hotel, with a willingness to spit out the P word, it caught more than a few people in the ballroom off-guard.
