Is Adam Schefter right?

Outside of Joe Pisarcik’s fumble, and even including it, has there ever been a worse regular-season day in Giants’ history?
Today was brutal,

I would like to think it is rock bottom, but it will likely get worse.
The 2010 eagles Christmas present  
mattlawson : 10/8/2017 4:58 pm : link
Was pretty damn bad. But then again we're not motivated in 2011 without it.
There have been plenty of horrendous losses  
David B. : 10/8/2017 4:59 pm : link
Trey Junkin comes to mind.

This loss was awful for a lot of reasons, but it was an 0-4 team going nowhere.
Not even close

Can’t remember a worse day. Perhaps taking it up the ass in SB 35?

Junkin was playoffs, not regular season.

Still.. we've seen worse than this. 2010 against the Eagles was worse than this
No, only because we were already 0-4.  
barens : 10/8/2017 5:01 pm : link
Quite frankly, if we were 3-1 or 4-0, today would have been much more devastating.
at 0-4 hard to say it's in that category  
joeinpa : 10/8/2017 5:01 pm : link
but with all the injuries, especially Beckham, it's one of the more discouraging.

we were 0-4

with little hope for anything. And the only really crushing thing today was the OBJ injury and we won't know until next year whether that's a career-killer or not.

It’s rock bottom today but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel because with OBJ out, we are definitely picking top 3, maybe first overall.
It's right up there .  
Bluesbreaker : 10/8/2017 5:07 pm : link
It exposed everything about how this team was poorly constructed and that he does not get the most out of his
players . it's a sad day 6 years of Eli's career down the
fucking shitter that's what irks me the most .
Eli deserves better we should have got two more Lombardi's
with him IMO .

1988 loss to the Jets

that Giants team could have won the Super Bowl because the season was wide open. This loss put the nail in the coffin of a season that had slipped away.
my response to the question  
gidiefor : Mod : 10/8/2017 5:09 pm : link
is that the Giants were a pretty bad team before the injuries -- losing Odell is just icing on the whole cake of bad
Schefter's question is ill-posed  
BlackLight : 10/8/2017 5:10 pm : link
the Pisarcik fumble game is probably the most important game in the history of the team. Anyone who would have traded a loss for a win that day either isn't a Giants fan, or doesn't know what they're talking about.
Not even close  
RobCarpenter : 10/8/2017 5:10 pm : link
To the worst day. Just take your pick of Eagles losses:

Pisarchik fumble
Dodge kicking to Jackson
Plax shoots himself, Giants lose in 2009 Playoffs

The 2017 Giants will be lucky to win a game.

BlackLight : 10/8/2017 5:12 pm : link
My top concern right now is that a poor offensive showing the rest of the way might convince ownership or Reese that it's time to move on from Eli.
I remember what the 70s felt like.  
81_Great_Dane : 10/8/2017 5:16 pm : link
This is bad in a different way. In those years it was almost always pretty apparent that the team wasn't good. The D was often very good, but offense just didn't have players.

This team has players, it had legitimate reason to think it could compete at a high level. And it's not just the O-line that sunk them. The D has been crummy, too.

Today might be the most disappointing day. Can't say if it's the worst.
Injury -wise  
old man : 10/8/2017 5:17 pm : link
Yes.
But the JP fumble was the worst,Trey Junkin a distant 2nd, 2010 Philly 3rd.
But we are rapidly closing in on those teams in the mid 60's that featured Olympic track starts Henry Carr and Clarence Childs as our DBs.

Crispino : 10/8/2017 5:37 pm : link
is slipping away. I went out to lunch with my wife during the game, something in past years that would have been unthinkable. I just can't muster any enthusiasm for watching a poorly coached, undisciplined, stupid collection of inept football players fucking up in every way you
can imagine. The product stinks. It makes you realize what smoke and mirrors accounted for last season.
Feeling the same way about subsiding passion.  
81_Great_Dane : 10/8/2017 5:41 pm : link
But I wonder how much of that has to do with getting older and having other things on my mind. It'd be nice to have football Sundays be a fun diversion, but they're not.

Maybe all 4 for the season.

This is right there with the Eagles D Jackson collapse. This season is now screwed. However I don't think its as catastrophic as The Fumble.

The Trey Junkin thing always bothered me. Not because if his snap but because the consensus to blame him. We signed the fucking guy out of retirement to come in and snap. Shame on us for leaving it up to a guy who literally got up off of the couch to snap the ball. Maybe we should have done more that game to make sure that one bad snap did not beat us.

I hope so. Last season was fools gold. The results of a defense that was playing at unsustainable levels. Masking the stink of an offense that was ranked 26th....and that ranking the benefit of a couple of individual efforts by OBJ
We won a world title 6 years ago  
Essex : 10/8/2017 7:54 pm : link
we were in the playoffs last year, when the fumble happened we hadn't won a title in over two decades and hadn't made the playoffs in over a decade. And, while we need organizational changes, this is nothing like those times. shefter is good at getting people to give us information ten seconds before someone else, he is good at stealing hospital records; his analysis or opinion is about just as relevant or valuable as any poster here

People are missing the meaning of the Fumble  
Essex : 10/8/2017 8:34 pm : link
It was not a heartbreaking moment, it was the final straw in an unbearable 15 year’s with a warring and incompetent leadership that was basically leaving us ruderless. Trey Junkin and Desean Jackson were horrific moments, but I looked forward to redemption in 2003 and the GB game in 2010. When Joe P fumbled the people walking to their cars in the parking lot and turning off their TVs were just fed up with a generation of futility. Today was terrible, but I think this organization with the right changes could compete next year and I have not gone years without any success. It is a much different situation. We will have some decisions to make as an organization, rebuild with a new QB, draft a LT (if there one available that is NFL ready-a rarity) and try to squeeze two more years with Eli. But we have pieces to play with whatever direction we go—we have options. In 1978 that was not the situation confronting us. This is more like 2003, we have pieces, it’s just a decision of where we go with it.

Today is one of the all time low points  
LatHarv83 : 10/8/2017 8:45 pm : link
You have to seperate losses into different categories. Every low has its own distinct characteristics. When the losses come with more at stake they tend to hurt more because you had more to lose and were more invested. But the dull pain of today that comes with losing to a fellow 0-4 team flying across the country and the absence of surprise/shock that even comes with that in our current state.... in addition to having our WR corps completely wiped out (including a major injury suffered by our franchise player) brings with it a certain type of pain. The further realization of just how far away this team is from competing in its current state and the unsettled questions that lay ahead. We will end this season having gone to the playoffs 1 time in 6 seasons with no playoff wins, a 37 year old QB, unknown at head coach and a GM with an increasingly spotty track record. The state of the franchise right now is as low as I’ve seen it personally. That doesn’t mean quick fixes don’t exist but they don’t come easy.

We won three super bowl as an underdog. Won three Super Bowls within last two minutes of the game. Those three close Super Bowls were all preceded by championship games where we won on the last play. We have won four Super Bowls total. I think we have been very fortunate.
