This is an update of a chart I posted early last season. I've taken the Giants record (since 1925 inception) and parsed into 10-year intervals. We are coming to the end of the 2015 - 2024 interval and the wins and losses speak for themselves. Currently, the Giants have a .366 winning percentage which is the worst decade in franchise history -- even worse than what Baby Boomers went through from 1975 - 1984:
Decade / Wins / Losses / Ties / Winning Percentage
1925 - 1934 / 87 / 41 / 8 / 0.680
1935 - 1944 / 70 / 31 / 9 / 0.693
1945 - 1954 / 58 / 54 / 5 / 0.518
1955 - 1964 / 81 / 40 / 7 / 0.669
1965 - 1974 / 53 / 85 / 2 / 0.384
1975 - 1984 / 54 / 92 / 1 / 0.370
1985 - 1994 / 99 / 60 / 0 / 0.623
1995 - 2004 / 75 / 84 / 1 / 0.472
2005 - 2014 / 90 / 70 / 0 / 0.563
2015 - 2024 / 56 / 97 / 1 / 0.366
A new dynamic QB could change everything.
Dont give me that 70s crap, guys were working jobs in the offseason.
Giants have yet to play a season with both the OL/DL being good in well over a decade.
Draft heavily next draft on the OL and DL. Sign a vet QB.
Then draft the long term answer the following year.
not the President of the team.
Then he hands it off to his nephew...........oh wait.

Precisely.
When you put it that way, it truly is an amazing feat. And not in a good way.
Nope!!!
Now you sit back and listen to a millennial tell you about bad football you preaching fools! So shut that mouth

LOL!
But just one thing... these were the Boomers formative decades:
1965 - 1974 / 53 / 85 / 2 / 0.384
1975 - 1984 / 54 / 92 / 1 / 0.370

It really is amazing. With the new playoff format, nearly half the teams make the playoffs, and a majority of the league is at least in the hunt come December. Consistently being dead in October is legitimately difficult to do!
I attribute it to the sketchers and half zips.
No one can hate a guy shuffling around like that.
It's been death by a thousand cuts. L
In the last 7 years we had the one winning playoff season, and, other than that our BEST season was 6-10
Let's make it 3-14 and get our QB

I'd prefer he did his shuffling on some lido deck of a cruise ship that never docked.
Nope!!!

You got to see those two Super Bowls AND the two in 86 and 90!!
You were spoiled. Any kid who is 15 years or younger and is a Giants fan had it way worse than you!
And even the Accorsi era wasn't characterized by great teams. Only the 2008 team was really, really good.
The Giants are lost in the wilderness.
I never thought I would see anything that bad again, but those two Coughlin Super Bowl years were so improbable that I suppose that they had to pay the devil his due.
All the unbelievable stumbling of the offensive line, when during all eight of those playoff games, against teams considered much better than the Giants, Brad Benson, a 1977 8th round draft pick, held down left tackle. I think he made the Pro Bowl once.
