The New York Giants are 2-8 by 10 weeks of the season and seem destined for an additional top-10 draft choose come April.
Regardless of the poor play, basic supervisor Joe Schoen insists the staff is near turning a nook and changing into severe contenders. He expressed as a lot throughout his bye week press convention this previous Tuesday.
“Yeah, the outcomes haven’t been what we wished them to be. I don’t wish to be sitting up right here at 2-8. Like that’s not what we wish and no person’s completely satisfied about it,” Schoen stated. “And I perceive that, however I do see progress and we’re higher in numerous areas. And once more, we’re going to judge all that stuff this week, however we’re higher in a variety of areas.
“We simply received to determine the way to end video games. And once more, we’re within the video games. We’re not getting blown out in these video games. We’re 1-5 in shut video games and that’s the league. We’ve to develop the mentality that we’re going to win and shut out these video games. And that’s what we’re going to look to do these final seven video games of the season.”
The Giants’ incapability to shut out one-possession video games is an indictment of poor teaching greater than the rest. Many wish to level fingers at quarterback Daniel Jones and whereas he’s definitely not with out blame, a lot of it falls on the shoulders of head coach Brian Daboll.
Nonetheless, it issues not who’s saddled with the blame. The truth is that Schoen is hypothetically right and if all one-score video games within the NFL had been flipped, the Giants could be among the many greatest groups in soccer.

Possibly they’re shut however that solely counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. The above graphic could be very a lot an alternate universe fantasy land. The Giants aren’t 6-4 and among the many high three groups within the NFC, they’re 2-8 and useless final.
For much too lengthy this staff has relied on “ifs” and “buts” and in the event that they had been candies and nuts, we’d all have a Merry Christmas. However they’re not and 2024 will likely be one other vacation season during which the Giants franchise fails to ship any items to their followers.
