Since 1990, or in the past 28 years, not one team in the NFL that started 1-5 made the playoffs. Here is the link...

Season is over

At this point all of us fantasy football players are just hoping for points from Barkley, OBJ, and company. I knew this was a multiple year rebuild, but didn’t quite expect what we have seen thus far. That being said, our schedule was pretty front loaded in terms of matchups, so I would guess we end up with maybe 4 to 5 wins when all is said and done.

I suspect the league goes out of its way not to front load our schedule next year so this doesn't happen for a 3rd year in a row.

We're still in the race. But seeing how Cowboys demolished the Jags and we couldn't beat them fresh in our own home stadium already shows the direction Giants are heading this season
At 1-5  
joeinpa : 10/17/2018 7:24 am : link
There is little chance you make the play offs because you must be pretty bad to be 1-5.

But it s not 0%. If you want to still believe you have meaningful games to look forward to, you look at the next 4 games as winnable games, get to 5-5 and see what happens.

It begins Monday.

However, for me, now that I am convinced the Giants future at quarterback is not Eli, hard to get excited about an improbable run that while fun, would just be window dressing.
It can't get any worse

there's a chance?
Sure theres a chance  
gogiants : 10/17/2018 8:27 am : link
They are thru the hardest part of their schedule. They are still in it. That is why I say keep playing Eli until you are out of it. Out of our quarterbacks I think he gives you the best chance of winning. I get the feeling the coach feels the same.

Using this faulty logic, a 16 seed would've had a 0% chance of beating a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Until the Giants are mathematically eliminated.....

I always hope!!
Until they are mathematically eliminated  
NoPeanutz : 10/17/2018 9:49 am : link
by definition, they have a >0% chance of making the playoffs.
Why would anyone even consider playoffs?  
DavidinBMNY : 10/17/2018 10:17 am : link
This team should try to win a game. Period. Then let's not go to crazy but then see if they can win 2 in a row. By that point in the season you've hit the trade deadline anyway. Unless they have a bye but I don't think that is until week 9.

The way I see it, they try like heck to win next 2 games and if in the extremely unlikely event they win both, they continue playing to win until they are eliminated.

If they lose Monday or the following game, which I would consider likely, It's time to move anyone valuable with a contract another team can stomach and consider trading players up for contracts who have value for draft capital.
PLAYOFFS....PLAYOFFS  
mvftw : 10/17/2018 10:27 am : link

That's 0% based on history, however  
Simms11 : 10/17/2018 11:21 am : link
if the Giants go on a run over the next 6 weeks, things would look a lot rosier, especially playing in the NFC Least! Now saying that, I do not believe this team has it in them to be that competitive and so that probably will not happen. Anyway why not dream?!
Optimism

just stop. Its enough already. the season is OVER. If you want to sit at home watching TV on a beautiful Fall Sunday thats your biz. Ground yourself in reality: oour team is the joke of the NFL. Again.
We will all get  
NYG007 : 10/17/2018 11:54 am : link
Fired up when we score, enjoy our games, and be tortured.

However, the season is over, the only thing we should be rooting for is fun games to watch, no major injuries, and securing Hebert, aka our #1 pick. By finishing the worst, no one can trade up for us so we are stuck with Non Baker at QB. Which I still feel are exactly what Rosen and Darnold are, a Non Baker QB, and to me, they are far form what he can bring/do.

Nice find, my article that I found was from 1990-2013, so it didn't include your more current findings. So that means only one team has made the playoffs since 1990, less than 1%

Dear Dep,

My article that I posted was from 1990-2013, therefore it was accurate. Not one team during those years made the playoffs after starting 1-5.

It was not up to date through 2017, as one poster said the Chiefs did make the playoffs after starting 1-5. That means only one team, in 28 years made it, which would put the percentage at 1% or technically zero...

Dear Sxdc,

Clearly in your OP you said no team since 2018, so in 28 years did. Your post is factually INCORRECT. Therefore making this whole thread a waste of time for everyone. Here is your exact words.

So when doing "research", please post ACCURATE information. And what the hell does "technically zero" mean. Its not Zero. It has been done. So it cant be zero.
After the first 6 games, where our QB averages one td per,  
Doomster : 10/17/2018 1:05 pm : link
where our defense has given up more than 30 points in the last three games, can ANYONE entertain the thought of this team somehow getting to 5-5?

Your post makes no sense to me.  
Keith : 10/17/2018 1:34 pm : link
I think what you mean is...0% of teams in the past have made the playoffs after starting 0-5. To say there is a 0% chance is just incorrect. It's probably .0001%, but it cannot be 0 with 10 more games to play. What if they win all 10 games? Until they are mathematically eliminated, it can't be 0%.
I am hoping for 1-15.  
larryflower37 : 10/17/2018 2:24 pm : link
Sacrifice now for future.
This is not a super bowl team and wins give false hope.
I am not a Gettleman fan but he will make changes if he gets his ego crushed.
This franchise needs to be humbled and forced to make real decisions. Not this half way garbage they have been making

Ironic, because technically zero is also exactly how much "research" sxdxca has done.

Then why not post the information that had more recent data?

Or were you looking for some level of confirmation bias?

Giving out a statistic that has 4 of the most recently played seasons missing is a flagrant attempt to mislead people. Why even post it if you knew those years were not included?

Ahhh, yes....but since 2015, 2.8% of teams that have made the playoffs have started 1-5! So it can still be done!
