Teams starting 0-3 in the last 5 years have never made the playoffs. Frankly only 12% of teams starting 0-2 have made it.
Teams starting 0-3 in the last 5 years have never even finished above .500.
Its sad to think that we need to go into Philly, a place we haven't won in for a long time, to save our season. I hope they figure out some OL issues before Sunday.
There is definitely a part of me that believes there is a 2 game season within the 16 game season. Win the right 2 games (against these cunts), and I can live with 2-14.
Philly would have to have a horrendous game in order for giants to have a chance Sunday. 0-3 is likely record come Sunday evening. philly is going to go ballistic on them sunday.

they dug
They have to find a way to win one of the next two. If you told me right now that Giants lose at Philly and win at Tampa Week 4, I would take it in a second.
For a team that looked like a shoe in to make the playoffs, now they are approaching a team that doesn't control it's own destiny if they lose this game.....
The best thing the Eagle defense does is attack the offense with their front seven.......the worse thing the Giants do, is try to protect against a front seven....in other words, a match made in hell for the Giants, in Philly, no less....
The only way we win, the offense, MUST, play mistake free football.....OBj has to make a difference......Marshall has to wake up....our pass patterns have to be run deeper, to avoid 3rd down completions not resulting in first downs....we must run the ball, and run play action instead of draws off a shotgun formation.....this OL and the TE's have to block better....and most importantly, our coaches have to take their heads out of the sand, and act accordingly when someone is not playing at the level expected of them......
As for the defense, they must create turnovers....
Can this all take place in a week? I don't know, but we better hope it can.....an 0-3 start could just snowball....
Time for McAdoo to come up with a better game plan, and have his players ready to execute....

I wouldn't, this game is more important and we matchup well with Tampa. We need to be 2-2. Starting 1-3 and 0-2 in the division would be a disaster.
0-3 in the NFC
0-2 in the NFC East
these are all huge hurdles.

It is when you're 0-2.
Macdoo is a overmatched goofball I am worried we are very doomed. COMPLETE waste of a top end D.

It's way too early to write his coaching eulogy. Belichick struggled after a good first season. Parcells worked through a nightmarish first season. Before you say this team has much more talent , consider that the Oline , coupled with Eli's considerable limitations neutralize a good deal of that roster strength . He has to find a way to get them to fire off the ball as a cohesive , physical unit . And he has to block it up for Eli, however many it takes .
Not looking good.
Any 3-game losing streak is tough, but it's survivable. It's worse if it's at the start of the season, but it's still survivable.
The problem with going 0-3, though, is you need to get on a heckuva roll for the rest of the season to get to the playoffs. Could this team go 0-3 and finish at 10-6? Sure, but the things that blew them up in Dallas and against Detroit don't seem likely to vanish.

Well said! :)
the funny thing about McAdoo is he says "to do the same thing over and aver again when it's not working is insanity", but isn't that exactly what they have been doing offensively, depressing.
What an over-used term to drum up hype & anticipation for a game.

0-3 teams basically don't rebound. It's a must win. That said, the 2011 team I think had a 4 game losing streak and rebounded from that so who knows?
