The Giants would possibly end with a 2-15 report of their franchise’s one centesimal season.
They won’t win one other sport.
They’re 2-10 with seven straight losses, and it’s reasonable that they might lose 12 in a row to finish the yr.
That’s very true now that defensive sort out Dexter Lawrence looks as if he’s out for the season with a dislocated elbow that Brian Daboll known as a “long-term” harm on Friday.
Rookie tight finish Theo Johnson additionally could also be carried out for the season with a foot harm, Daboll mentioned. That explains Johnson’s locker room outburst after Thursday’s defeat at Dallas.
There isn’t a apparent win remaining on the schedule.
The Saints at house: They crushed the Tommy DeVito-led Giants final yr in New Orleans.
The Ravens at house: Lamar Jackson would possibly cling 50 factors at MetLife Stadium.
The Falcons on the street: Atlanta can rating factors; the Giants can’t.
The Colts at house: What number of yards will Indy operating again Jonathan Taylor have?
The Eagles in Philly: Saquon Barkley may set the NFL dashing report and clinch the league MVP award in that season finale.
How may Joe Schoen and Daboll survive this into Yr 4? That’s a rhetorical query.
John Mara wouldn’t be capable of rationalize something however wholesale change with a 2-15, 3-14 or 4-13 ultimate report, assuming he’s in a position to wait till the season is over.
When the Chicago Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus on Friday after he performed a morning press convention, in actual fact, it wasn’t a stretch to marvel if the identical would possibly occur to Daboll earlier than the day was up.
As a result of even ready till after Week 18 will likely be unattainable for Mara if the followers’ apathy results in an empty MetLife Stadium for these three remaining house video games. And it’s trending strongly in that course.
“I’m a season ticket holder. I won’t be going to any more games this year, and I’ll be looking to unload my PSLs in the offseason,” Giants fan Dan H. mentioned Thursday evening on the Bleav Community’s Talkin Ball’ with Pat Leonard postgame stay podcast.
Daboll seems like a coach who is aware of it’s over and is simply taking part in out the string.
Requested if he owed it to the historical past of the Giants’ franchise to show this round, he mentioned: “We’ll do everything we can do to go out there and play well and get a win. That’s our focus.”
He mentioned his postgame insistence that he’s not anxious about his job safety was a matter of sticking to what he can management.
“Yeah, I think you focus on your team,” he mentioned. “You concentrate on our employees, our coaches, gamers and going on the market to get the sort of efficiency and outcomes all of us need.
“I have confidence in our people,” he added. “Obviously not where we want to be, not by any stretch of the imagination, so we’ll just keep working hard to fix the things we need to fix.”
There’s unhealthy soccer, although, after which there may be traditionally unhealthy soccer. The Giants are the latter.
They’re the worst group within the NFL.
Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys made them the primary group formally eradicated from playoff rivalry in 2024.
They’re the bottom scoring group (15.3 factors per sport) within the league. That they had 131 web passing yards Thursday.
Quarterback Drew Lock was sacked six occasions and hit 14 extra. That’s 20 complete hits in a single sport, plus three tackles on operating performs when he escaped the collapsing pocket twice and ran the Tush Push as soon as.
Their protection has gone 11 straight video games with out an interception, setting a brand new NFL report of futility.
They handed the 1976-77 San Francisco 49ers and the 2017 Oakland Raiders to face alone.
They permit a league-worst 5.1 yards per carry to opposing offenses. The protection has just one sack up to now 4 video games.
The locker room already exploded in frustration after final Sunday’s 30-7 blowout loss to the Bucs.
They’re the NFL’s solely winless group (0-6) at house.
The one factor protecting lots of the gamers going is solely their unbiased resolve.
“It’s an individual thing,” edge rusher Brian Burns said. “I can only speak for myself. My motivation comes from inside and basically my pride. I’m not just gonna go out there and lay down. I’ve been playing banged-up all year. It’s just not in me to lay down to nobody.”
Even so, it’s laborious to be assured that the Giants will get one other outcome till they really do it.
“It’s pretty difficult,” wide receiver Malik Nabers said after Thursday’s loss. “We gotta try to find a way to stop losing, try to get some wins.”
However right here’s the scary half: They’ve already been trying to find a technique to win one other sport for some time now.
They will’t discover it. It doesn’t seem to exist.
That’s how low the Giants have fallen: to all-time low.
