Giants hit bye week feeling a little bit better

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The message Monday was an upbeat one from New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin. As the players left for their bye week, not required to return to the team facility for practice until next Monday, Coughlin wanted to focus on the positives from the two victories his 2-6 team has posted in the past two weeks. "I think there's some excitement," Coughlin said. "We're certainly not blind to the issues that we do have. But by the same token, we're excited about having the opportunity to improve on those issues and we're excited about the second half of the year.
