The New York Giants sit at 2-5 after seven weeks and the very last thing the followers are fascinated by is the postseason. Most followers are extra targeted on the first-round draft decide subsequent April, which can seemingly be spent on their quarterback of the long run.
The Giants are 2-5 (or worse) for the seventh time within the final eight seasons. In these eight seasons, the Giants by no means completed with greater than six wins.
However as we have now simply seen with the Mets right here in New York, terrible begins will be overcome. For the Giants, it could imply principally working the desk for the remainder of the season.
10 video games are remaining on the schedule and so they must seemingly win eight of these video games to have an opportunity on the postseason.
There are precedents, which ought to give them hope. Since 1990, 10 groups who started the season at 2-5 have gone on to qualify for the playoffs. 5 of these groups completed the feat since 2018 and not less than one 2-5 staff has completed it in every of the final 4 seasons.
In the event that they fall to 2-6, their probabilities diminish enormously. Solely three groups within the Tremendous Bowl period who started the season shedding six of their first eight video games have certified for the postseason (Cincinnati in 1970, Washington in 2020, and Jacksonville in 2022).
After all, the Giants must clear a number of points up, plus resolve their offensive woes, however something is feasible.
The play every of their NFC East rivals as soon as extra with street video games at Pittsburgh and Atlanta plus Carolina in Germany. They play at residence towards Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Baltimore and Indianapolis.
Hold the religion.
