Giants place Finn on IR, lose FB for 2007 season

Adam Schefter makes it sound as if the Giants were gonna release Finn anyway.

I think the Giants are going to be the worst team in our division hands down. Their defense is awful and they didn't really upgrade, Eli has thrown 35 ints the past two seasons (2nd most in the league over that span), and Tom Coughlin is a lame duck. Not to mention they love to collapse down the stretch. Their O-line is suspect, and now Tiki and Finn are gone?? I saw something on ESPN- Tiki Barber was the only player in the NFL to have over half of his team's touches on offense last season. And now he's gone. Mark my words, they are going to stink out loud.

I agree. The Giants season was lost when they gave Coughlin another year not out of faith but so they could wait a year for the Cower sweepstakes. Losing Tiki and now Finn just means that the season will be labeled catastrophic.

I don't really care how bad this is for them, any teams loss in the NFC is our gain. Go Skins!!

Were this might be a big loss it is months before the season ever starts leaving them plenty of time to fill this position.

I think the Giants are in big trouble this year. Manning is going to get absolutely bum rushed this year without Barber in the backfield. I predict no more than six wins. Obviously this makes things even worse.

I'll bet I know where at least one of those wins will come from.

Giggity brings up a valid point. Sounds like the G-men were going forward without Finn anyways. Now they just have to pay him.

The tandem of Droughns and Jacobs will fill in quite nicely for Barber, so don't hold your breath just yet.

Droughns and Jacobs should be able to carry the load but they're definitely going to miss the explosiveness and home run ability that Tiki brought to the table.
