The New York Giants sit at 2-5 after seven weeks and the very last thing the followers are interested by is the postseason. Most followers are extra centered on the first-round draft decide subsequent April, which can possible be spent on their quarterback of the longer term.
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 possible 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 achieved the feat since 2018 and a minimum of one 2-5 group has accomplished it in every of the final 4 seasons.
In the event that they fall to 2-6, their possibilities diminish enormously. Solely three groups within the Tremendous Bowl period who started the season dropping six of their first eight video games have certified for the postseason (Cincinnati in 1970, Washington in 2020, and Jacksonville in 2022).
In fact, the Giants must clear plenty of points up, plus remedy 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 in opposition to Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Baltimore and Indianapolis.
Maintain the religion.
