Now that the roster is pretty much set, what is your record prediction for the 2024 season? What do you think will be a positive and negative for this season?
I’m predicting a 6-11 season. I think the O-Line is better, which will lead to more production from the running game. I still have a ton of worry on Jones as the starting QB and the young inexperienced secondary. If we get behind early, can Jones drive this team back? I really don’t think so.
Also expecting the defense to start slow but tighten up as the year goes.
Realistically, probably 5-12. I have no confidence whatsoever in the QB. The secondary scares the hell out of me. And if we don’t get off to a fast start, I can see the wheels coming off pretty quickly.

FWIW, I think the secondary is better than in 2022 and they held up just fine.
If he goes down and we need Lock/Davito to finish out the season, I am much more pessimistic.
Of course, take away any one of Burns, Dex, Thibs, Nabers or Thomas (or any of the OL that happen to be an upgrade) and it gets much uglier IMHO.....
which may be what Schoen is hoping.....to get his QB in the draft.
On defense, I don't think we have enough depth to overcome any inventible injuries. If Kayvon or Burns miss any time, that secondary is going to get exposed.
I do say 7-10 may sound reasonable but I wouldn't be shocked if they went 9-8 either.
Hello Daniel.
Most likely 8 or 9.
I'll pick 9
Our defense will keep us in games, although our DBs scare me
All Pro or Pro Bowl? Because those are different things.
The secondary is young but i think they are going to be better than people think..
Also go look at the roster Daboll made thenplayoffs with 2 years aho, this years is much better
Another long season in the making.
And if we don't both of the first two games then maybe only 2 wins.
Start off 2-0.
DJ throws for 28 TDs and runs for 5 more.
The schedule is surprisingly tough for a team that finished 3rd in its division.
Jones playing from behind consistently is going to be painful to watch.
I'll predict that Jones makes it through 9 games before he is out with a major injury and Luck lasts three games. DeVito finishes up the season.
Last year it was the Giants offense that was hystorically bad. This year it'll be the defense.
Barkley openly weeps.
Barkley openly weeps.
Dude, knock this shit off
Which means, they'll start winning more to boot then out of a top 1-3 pick. I think this is, finally, the end of the Daniel Jones era.
That only works once.
the OL seems better, but we've been cursed the last decade or so.
i'm excited about the speed and potential of the WRs, but it's so young there's bound to be lots of ups and downs.
the DL has to be better with burns, don't they?
LBs should be ok unless okereke gets hurt, then it's in deep trouble.
the secondary is also very young and therefore unpredictable.
we are a few injuries from another disaster 4-13 record, but if we remain healthy and DJ plays well we could be 10-7 and in the playoffs. i have no confidence in predicting where we will end up.
We already had lousy QB play last year.
If we can control the line of scrimmage this year on both sides of the ball, we will absolutely win more games even with Jones at QB.
If we can run the ball and create shorter down and distance situations on 3rd down, we will score more points.
To me, the key here is what we have done with the OL this off season and whether it will result in improvements on the field. Between the free agents and new OL coach.
1. Team Psyche - new DC and morale should be improved. TBD
2. Health - you have to hope we stay healthy, unlike last year when we lost our best players early (Thomas, Jones, Barkley) and the schedule was brutal.
3. Offensive Line - veteran group and better depth even amongst Neal, Ezedu with another year under their belts. They must stay healthy and youth must develop.
4. Speed - this team is FAST, especially on offense and we can create matchup problems. But can Bellinger be that easy short target to keep drives alive?
5. Young team will improve as year moves along.
Start 2 - 0 or its over with a six game stretch against solid teams. If we start 2 - 0 and somehow surprise and go 3-3 or at worst 2 - 4 to be .500 at 8 games in we will be on our way to a winning record.
Jones must stay healthy and protect the ball.
Jones throws for 3500 or so yards. Throws around 23 Tds and rushes for 4-5 more. The offense scores 385 pts. Some ups and downs--roller coaster type season--we fail to close out a big game late in the year but battle throughout the season. Definitely a step up from last year but not quite there yet.
Giants let Jones sit on the last year of his deal or maybe extend it for one more season just to alleviate some of the pressure of weirdness--and they draft a QB within the first 2 rounds of the 25 draft.
Nabers goes for around 90-1100-8. Robinson 60-700-4.
Burns and Thibs combine for 20. Corners kill us but the D shows staying power and potential--just needs another off-season.
We love Nubin by week 2-3.
Compare this OL (and OL coach) and WR corps and add Burns, Okereke and Banks to the D that won a road playoff game in Jan. '23 and it's really not that hard to imagine 10 wins.
