Next Years success begins in the NFC East

RELICDOA : 1/25/2023 10:24 pm
One of the major measurements of improvement next year must begin in the East. The Giants must find a way this off-season to compete with Dallas and Philadelphia.

8 Home games
Jets, Patriots, Rams, Seahawks
Cowboys, Eagles, Commanders, Packers

9 Away games
Raiders, Saints, Cardinals, Dolphins, 49’ers, Bills, Cowboys, Eagles, Commanders

The Giants will be traveling to the west coast 3 times. This schedule is not going to be easy.
Reaching 9 wins....will be a major challenge

And only shot would be doing better than 1-4-1 in the NFC East.

OP is right on

about 10 days ago, I said we could be a better team and be as low as 7-10 given the higher level of competition, and have bounces or calls go against us.
But it’s how you get better: learning to be good , succeed, consistently.
TCs 2006 team paved the way to 2007, albeit a 9-7 record, that became an SB , that became the successful 2008 team, until Plax.
BPs 1984 team lead to the 1985 team that lead to the outstanding 1986 team and an SB.
I think the 2023 Rams, Packers will be more reputations than talent, Seattle won’t repeat their ‘22, and Az and LV will still be shaky organizations and teams.
Just trust the process, and let’s stay healthy for a change…and fix our field.
We have to start beating Philly. And Dallas.

No ifs ands or buts.
That schedule is much tougher

than this past season's.
Let's start by beating Dallas.
I don't think we'll catch up to Philly yet.
If we want to compete

it starts at the point of attack, we are over matched with our O-line against their defensive front, the opposite is true on the defensive side but to a lesser degree, we need to get line bakers and more dline rotation to match their O-line that has dominated us for a decade. Philly it's even more obvious. We simply do not have the men on the line of scrimmage on both sides to compete, needs more investment. That's why every time I hear about our corners and receivers I get so annoyed they are the least of out worries.

Our run defense is embarrassing. Giving up over 200 yards on the ground is anything but Giants football
Some good news  
Rudy5757 : 1/26/2023 10:16 am : link
Is that Dallas and Philly are up against the cap in 2023. Philly is $4 mil under with guys like Cox and Bradberry as FA along with a few other starters. This is also Hurts last year with no 5th year option available. He may want some $$ now and some guarantees. Teams built like the Eagles seem to fall off the following year whether they get to and win or lose the Super Bowl. Guys want to get paid when they win.

Dallas is already over the cap with a few key starters as FAs.

If the Giants can improve and Dal and Philly lose some players we can close the gap. We alsohave to get over the mental aspect of it too. We havent beaten the Eagles in forever Dallas too.

They were 10-6 in 07. 9-7 in 2011

This!
If the Giants want to compete the first thing they must do is to  
Jack Stroud : 1/26/2023 12:02 pm : link
sign Daniel Jones. After the Jones signing they must find a defensive coordinator who can scheme a way to stop the run and someone who can figure out how to defense the TE!
