Be thankful for: The Joe Judge experience. There's nothing worse than having a boring team. And Judge has not been boring. Whether it was the old-school drills at training camp, having his staff run laps for mistakes or mixing it up with offensive line coach Marc Colombo before firing him, Judge has provided Giants fans with plenty to talk about this season. And to be fair, the team has been competitive and has been improving. The Giants are 3-3 in their last six, and all three of those losses have been by three points or fewer.

They come off their bye in the division race with a winnable game on the road against a Joe Burrow-less Bengals team. The Giants were playing better before the bye.

DL Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams have become the foundation of a defense that is the primary reason this team might win the NFC East.

What they're thankful for: Coach Joe Judge

While the Giants haven't won much this season, it appears they might have found their coach. Judge has put his program in motion and the early returns are positive. The Giants are playing hard for their new coach and appear to be paving the road for success in the future with Judge at the helm. Finally, something to be optimistic about. -- Jordan Raanan

Just when it was starting to look like the Joe Judge regime had found an open stretch on the New Jersey Turnpike, a gossipy bit of internal melodrama involving the firing of an offensive line coach and the utterance of a very naughty word threw Big Blue back into gridlock. It's a test for Judge, who doesn't want to be tagged as the latest Belichick disciple who people don't want to work for. NFL Network's Michael Silver reported last week that Judge's "personality style has been off-putting to some." I call this going Full Patricia. You never go Full Patricia. The focus has to be all-in on the Bengals, the last sub-.500 team New York will see for a month.
