How bad is this Giants team?
Historically bad. (Read till the end)
The Giants will have their 100th Anniversary in 2025. This Giants team might be the worst Giants team in 98 years.
They currently have a -148 Point differential. The next closest team is the Patriots -97. Giants are 50 points worse than the next worst team right now.
The worst team last year was the Colts -138pts PD on the season. Giants are already at -148pts and still have 7 games left.
They have both the fewest Points For and the most Points Against in the NFL.
Do any of the older fans here remember the 1966 Giants?
The 1966 Giants finished the 14 game season with over 500pts against and a -238 point differential. (-17/game)
The 1980 Giants were the 2nd worst ever and finished with a -176 point differential in a 16 games season. (-11/game)
The 2021 Season under Joe Judge was the 3rd worst at -158 point differential. (-9.2/game)
The 2023 Giants are currently at -14.8 PD/game. On pace to be the 2nd worst Giants team in almost a century, and the worst team in a lot of our lifetimes.
The Silver Lining:
In 1967 The Giants acquired Fran Tarkenton and turned their worst ever season at -238 point differential into a respectable 7-7 record and just -10 point differential. (A 228 point swing in 1 year)
In 1981 The Giants drafted Lawrence Taylor and turned the 2nd worst Giants ever at -176 point differential into a respectable 9-7 record and a +38 point differential. (A 214 point swing in 1 year)
In 2022 The Giants hired Joe Schoen as GM and Brian Daboll as HC and turned their 3rd worst season ever with a -158 point differential into a respectable 9-7-1 record and a -6 point differential (A 152 point swing in 1 year)...... Unfortunately it didn't last long.
I guess the moral of the story is that the Giants always bounce back from their worst seasons. They just need the right addition.
