For those shocked that the New York Giants failed to reach the playoffs the year after winning Super Bowl XLVI, don't be.
Keep in mind this is a team that has finished 8-8, 10-6, 9-7 and 9-7 each of the last four seasons dating back to 2009.
A year ago, Tom Coughlin's club got hot at the right time. This time around, the G-Men weren't playing their best football when it counted most.
Still, the NFC East (won by each of the four teams the last four seasons) is likely up for grabs again. As for potential holes, the Giants must address the left side of their offensive line, as tackle Will Beatty and guard Kevin Boothe are eligible for free agency. It wouldn't be a shock to see Beatty get the franchise tag.
The club has already released defensive lineman Chris Canty and linebacker Michael Boley. They also cut running back Ahmad Bradshaw, who rushed for 1,015 yards and six touchdowns last season.
But will the heir apparent be ready for the workload?
Worst Nightmare: Running back David Wilson can't fill the Ahmad Bradshaw role.
