The New York Giants are 2-8 by way of 10 weeks of the season and seem destined for one more top-10 draft choose come April.
Regardless of the poor play, normal supervisor Joe Schoen insists the staff is near turning a nook and changing into critical 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 need to be sitting up right here at 2-8. Like that’s not what we would like and no one’s blissful 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 guage all that stuff this week, however we’re higher in a number of areas.
“We simply acquired to determine easy methods 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’ incapacity to shut out one-possession video games is an indictment of poor teaching greater than anything. Many need 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 fact is that Schoen is hypothetically right and if all one-score video games within the NFL have been flipped, the Giants can be among the many finest groups in soccer.

Perhaps they’re shut however that solely counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. The above graphic may 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 lifeless final.
For a lot too lengthy this staff has relied on “ifs” and “buts” and in the event that they have been candies and nuts, we’d all have a Merry Christmas. However they’re not and 2024 might be one other vacation season through which the Giants franchise fails to ship any presents to their followers.
