We are approaching the end of July and all players will be reporting to training camp on Tuesday. This off-season has yielded the most change to this franchise in decades:
-New GM from the outside
-Asst GM hired from the outside
-New HC
-Many changes to scouting
-Chris Mara title change
A lot of posters here were skeptical there would be any change, but this is more than I ever thought would happen last December.
It’s long overdue that this team win some games on the field. I’m hopeful for the direction and hope to see progress this year.
I’m not expecting the playoffs, but I’m expecting a season for once when we aren’t talking about the draft in the end of September. Avoid a brutal first half of the season. Score some points for a change. Be competitive.
I’m looking forward to the season.
In the long term, I have some hope that Shoen can get this moving in the right direction and we can see steady improvement. However, we still have the Maras still sticking their fingers into the sauce. So lets say its a guarded hope.
The most recent years I went through the motions. I tried to not let myself get too upset . I reminded myself that Gettleman and Mara weren’t worth it . Was not always successful . However I went through the 70s as a young man . I had training .
But that’s past . I feel really good about this season . Yes , need to find out about Jones . But I trust the guys in charge now . Nepotism , cronyism
, assholeism- all gone . The former ways have gone away .
I know. That last request is asking for the moon but judging by that one dope's thread, we all need to be hopeful, or else we're ... obsessed with Daniel Jones? Hope I got that one right. I don't want his message to be spoiled.

You're an obsessed moron who complains if you observe that Daniel Jones makes catastrophic mistakes. Duh.
What makes me believe they can pick a better QB in the 23 draft is that it won't be one of the all time worst GMs making the decision
Sure, every 20 years or so. And Jones isn’t even average.
I’ll put it this way, I’ll be surprised if QB isn’t the first round pick in April 2023.
Look, it’s July and and I’ve tried hard to forget how pathetic this team has been. And sure, I’m happy to be hopeful for a new regime. But we’re among the very worst teams in the NFL for a decade now. So, for everyone who’s surprised at the pessimism, try to remember the last time you thought the Jets would be good. Because, that’s who we’re running with these days. The Jets, the Jags, maybe the Panthers. So, sis boom bah and rah, rah, rah and all that summer loving. But we fucking suck until we don’t.
Assuming reasonable health, I expect this team to be on the bubble for a playoff spot and have meaningful games throughout the entire season.
And I will not be surprised if we make the playoffs.
And I do think we'll get all that.
How much will Daniel Jones show or not? Will Barkley return to form? How will the WR's perform? The overall defense?
...I know~
The worst case scenario to me would be finishing with let’s say 8 or 9 wins, missing the playoffs, and they re-sign Jones to some big contract even if he doesn’t really play all that great.
Oh, absolutely, but the Giants will have some bounces go their way and pick up wins. The schedule includes games against the
Panthers
Bears
Jags
Seahawks
Texans
Lions
And of course 2 games each vs Washington & Philly, which aren’t terrible teams but are mediocre.
Those are 6 games against legitimately terrible opponents. The Giants could suck and be at 5-5 or 4-6 in November. It’s realistic.

I'm in that boat, along with throwing the injury concerns in as well.

Ugh this is absolutely the worst case. I pray JS is smart enough to not do that
I am waiting to see what they do - but as of right now I am not optimistic.

We know you know. You know?

Pretty sure I remember hearing we have one of the easiest schedules in the league. Yay! But then I thought, what team in the NFL sees the Giants on their schedule and pencils in a loss? Seriously, is there any team in the NFL that plays the Giants, home or away, and thinks they aren’t going to win?

The Giants are legitimately terrible opponents themselves.

If Daboll is good, they’ll be undertalented but well coached. Teams like that snag wins in the NFL all the time.
