1st & Ten with REGGIE GILLIAM

Reggie Gilliam has turned into one of the best underdog stories on the Bills roster this year. The Toledo product entered training camp as a fullback with a long-shot to make the team; he finished training camp as a tight end who, in fact, had made the opening day roster. Gilliam’s lined up in a lot of different roles throughout his playing career — running back, fullback, tight end, standout special teamer — and he’s looking to continue developing as a swiss-army of sorts with the Bills. Bills Digest recently caught up with Gilliam for his thoughts on transitioning to the NFL and his big touchdown catch against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2.

The NFC Least: Someone has to win it

Giant losses show how bad roster is

Be honest. Did you think the Giants would get off their first victory against a depleted San Francisco team in Week 3? I know I did.

WEEK 5: GIANTS AT COWBOYS

Fault the O-line, not the quarterback

Daniel Jones isn’t the problem. Oh he’s certainly part of the problem these days, what with consistent lapses of youth that clearly contribute to the dysfunctional mess known as the New York Giants.

Doomsday (but very possible) scenario

Before the start of the season, it was made abundantly clear by owner John Mara, that the New York Football Giants had to improve upon their pathetic 2019 campaign.

Dave Gettleman has officially failed the franchise

That’s it. I’m done. I can no longer, in good conscience, “stick up for,” “wait and see,” or watch Dave Gettleman’s “plan” unfold before I declare that he has failed us. All of us. It is over, Giants fans.
