Yup

They’ve hit Jets, Jags and browns territory. Terrible drafts and FA signings. It’s obvious what needs to be done
Two things can be true at the same time

has been said 18 different way, with the bottom line being we have sucked for a while now.
Most losses since 2017, 27% win percentage, .27 in decimal form, 27/100 for those who like fractions. It's been a rough decade.
Hate the Giants?

Nope. That statement is right from the article.

I've been a fan of this team for over half a century. But I gotta tell ya that -- after Dexter Lawrence took a win off the board -- the emotion I was experiencing was quite strong.
I am not okd enough to recall  
rocco8112 : 9/17/2021 1:28 pm : link
the dark Giants' period of the past. It is crazy to think the Giants are the worst franchise in the league right now.

Just brutal, remember when everyone blamed Eli Manning?

Well Eli was toast around the end, in fact sticking with him too long is just another great example of how bad this organization is. TBF it was impossible to tell this until 2018 because the offensive line was so atrocious the year prior.

Gotcha

Well they have been the worst team in football for the past many seasons. Kind of relate to how my hate for Giants rivals wavered a bit when their rivals were pathetic.

Here's my (very) long term perspective.

When I was watching this franchise mumble, bumble and stumble its way from 1964-1980, there were dozens and dozens of story lines that arose to "explain" what was wrong with the New York Football Giants.

I gotta tell you that from 2013 to the present the names and faces have all changed, but all the explanations sound the same.

This franchise is in a morass hip deep. And there ain't no vines to grab onto.
Want to hear a fun stat?

The Giants actually have a worse winning percentage than that when Barkley is starting:

8-25: .242
Sure Eli got old

but the consensus seemed to be he was the Albatross holding everything back.

Team still sucks.
I have natural immunity from losing...

No. We have to IMPROVE to hit Jets/Jags/Browns territory. That's what it means to be literally the worst.
Started watching all the games in 1966.

Morrall went down and Tom Kennedy was the backup QB. The amount of frustration rooting for this team has been exponential. Parcells and Simms losing to Everett and Flipper Anderson. The 49ers playoff meltdown with Shockey. Dodge punting to Watson. Engram dropping a pass that would ice a game. I do not hate this team but really hate how many times they have been inept. I would bet money we lead the league in that category. Our fans deserve better quite frankly. Gettleman has to be shown the door. The stupidity needs to stop now.
