Official 2020 Giants record prediction thread

The offense carries the team lead by Daniel Jones. Jones throws for over 4000 yards and 30 TD’s.

Slayton establishes himself as Jones #1 target.

Evan Engram and Jabrill Peppers stay healthy and earn long term extensions.

And I think DJ is the guy. But this team still has a bunch of holes. 7-9, but signs of life.

The roster still stinks, especially defensively.

Always. Maybe we had weaker ones last two years but I don’t remember it it that way. Even when we suck again we come back with this? I’m not one to even make that big a deal about the schedule but it would be nice to catch a break once in a while. That said most schedules seem to have a way of breaking even in the end hopefully the giants are the tougher team on other schedules. Play well it doesn’t really matter who you play. No hiding. Go earn it.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

What's your record prediction?

Love this prediction and hope it all comes to fruition. A healthy season of Jones, Barkley, Engram, Shep and Slayton. I think they are all key pieces to this offense moving forward and can help establish an identity to this team moving forward. Defense is going to struggle quite a bit I think, but hope they show some signs. We will certainly see what we have from the backend of our CB depth chart. Feel we are still a key player away at every group though (DL, LB, and DB). Going to have to play solid team defense to make this team close out games. I just think the defense isn’t going to make many stops when needed to.

Start off really rough. Over .500 for the 2nd half of the season.

but win 4 of their last 6 to finish


7-9

It’s a conspiracy. Like the media is against the Giants, so are the NFL schedule makers.

Always djm. Always.

Add to your prediction if Gettleman is GM next year.

I say no.

I’m not confident a full season gets played, but I expect the Giants to win 25% of their games.

Its amazing people still have this view. Baseball has been FINE and are going to get their 60 game season in.

With ONE game a week, there is way less player interaction eith other teams....the season is going to happen unless there is some wild outbreak outside of football....

Something like 38-7. Not going to be fun.

I will take that bet if willing.

Zero chance its a 31 point difference. We played the pats tough last year. The steelers arent some fucking juggernaut

One lone touchdown on offense. Great effort.

With a rookie qb, missing players including barkley who is a top 3 RB in the game.

I mean...its a little disingenuous to say the giants got destroyed in that game. It was a close game for a while and still without barkley and with a rookie qb only lost by 21. You have us losing by 31 to the steelers who arent soke juggernaut

A huge step forward.

Yeah I've been drinking

differential with my guess, I can square the accounts with the game you used as a counterargument.

Fine. 24-8. Steelers. That better for you?

My initial thought was three wins and then I thought, how can I be so negative? This is a bad team until it isn’t. I’m not sold on Jones or Barkley or EE playing a full season or the offensive line being “fixed”. He defense doesn’t seem like it will be good at all. I hope I, completely wrong about the talent on the field.

My biggest concern is the coaching staff. What I’ve of the Judge has only caused me further concern. Again, I hope I’m entirely wrong, but I don’t see where the Xs and Os give us an edge.

Have not a clue, but will stick my neck out and say 5-11, but entertaining.

But people please, the Bears? Why would the bears be any good? Did they find a QB, yet?

Yes, game one will be a bit rough. Great Vet coach vs rookie coach with new staff and very young team. Proven defensive team vs who knows what.

Think Ben will not be so good so 24-10 Steelers

overall, maybe 6-10 if a couple of bounces go their way

i just cant see a quick turn around here, but i think they'll improve as the season progresses

shortened season

and then we watch re-runs. But we do get a top 2 pick in the next draft!

(and my prediction) is 3 - 13.

likely scenario, 5 - 11

best case, with some breaks and surprise contributions, 8 - 8.

I agree. 6 & 10 for me too.

we have 4 rookies OL starting in one game. 3 in multiple games

I see more stunts than a Quentin Tarantino movie being thrown at this OL..

I see scenarios where teams just dink and dunk them to death

I see about 4 games where the offense shows potential and just beat teams.

I see alot of mis-communication due to lack of experience, training and skill..

I hope to see good tackling and fundamentals. Defense making good stops on the run..

I just don't see too many wins..

5 - 11

this year has more parity. Injuries and who is injured always play a factor. If the Giants keep the key players healthy I see them as a 8-8 team. If they stay extremely healthy they are in the mix for the division so maybe 9-7/10-6.

We'll score a lot of points, but we'll surrender more. Defense is not fixed by any means.

0-4 and then league has to cancel rest of season ..

until week 6 v Wash, so I'm going with 6-10. 6-5 in the last 11 would lead me to believe the arrow is pointing up, any less than that, and I'd have serious concerns.

3 might be a reach with this roster.

With the arrow pointing up. Hopefully this team will start to gel in the second half of the season and give us something to look forward to in the future.

With all the losing that has occurred the past few years, I can't fathom how some fans on this site are actually hoping they suck again.

Unfortunately, another 7-9 year with a poor draft pick.

Poor start but Judge keeps players focused and they string a few wins together later in the year.

A lot depends on the offensive line play - particularly how long it takes Thomas to get his feet wet.

.

Too many holes and I don’t believe in DJ.

might be the ceiling. The floor is pretty low.

better in 2021.

wildcard

before the NFL is force to pull the plug

and lol at people saying they wont finish the season.
