The Gettleman era will go down as the worst years of Giants football. Don’t give me no crap about the 1970s when receivers were still doing three point stances when they lined up. Or when guys had jobs in the offseason.
7 games this year under 20 points
6 of those games we scored 14 or LESS.
This is UNHEARD from a professional organization.
season.'-Johnny Mara next month.
Could it be the 70s/now are the true state of the Giants, and we just got lucky because LT and Eli came in to save the Giants?
And regardless of GM the real rot is at the top w ownership. And yes the late 60s early 70s we're worse
If you are not at least mid to late 50's, you don't have any idea what you are talking about. Reading statistics tell very little of the story.
Not trying to be critical but the fact is, you had to live through it and not as a 5 year old. Because we had never won a Super Bowl, there was this completely hopeless feeling. Make no mistake, we are fast approaching the 70's "feel". So I agree there but to say the current situation is much worse, just isn't true. At its worst, it is "beginning" to feel like the 70's.
In the decade of the 70's, we were 50-93-1. In the decade from 2012-2021 , so far we are 61-95.

You fail to mention how different the game was then.
The league is designed now for offenses to score… and we CAN’T.
The league is designed for quick turnarounds and we are about to be on our 3rd rebuild.

Not looking to get into a back and forth with anyone just telling you what most people I knew as giants fans felt. As with any subject there are always those who disagree. So be it.
There is no comparison. Yet.

I do. An eagle Super Bowl is way worse than your days. End of story.

22-54 at this point from '17-'21. (0.289 win percentage)
Looks like we were 15-41 from'73-'77? (0.268 win percentage)
Depending on how Judge closes the season we could very well fall below that 0.268 mark.

So yeah I guess that period was probably technically close but we're gonna come close to the worst 5 year period in the history of this almost ~100 yr franchise.

I don't want to hear anyone crying about the 70s. In a league designed for maximum parity and OFFENSE, the ineptitude of this offense and franchise as a whole for years has been absolutely pathetic.

There may be something to that. If Pete Rozelle didn't rescue the franchise, there's no George Young, there's no Ernie Accorsi, and there's a decent chance there's no Super Bowls and we'd be the fucking Lions.
