The Giants finally have a number 1 receiver, finally have seemingly improved the o-line, finally seemingly have a healthy, motivated Daniel Jones, and improved the defense and they will finish with a WORSE record than last season when they had the worst o-line in football and their starting QB playing only 4 full games? No wonder SNY is nothing but a shill for the Jets. Total joke. I understand if Jones gets hurt again, and the teams gets ravaged by injuries again. But no preseason prediction is made by predicting injuries. They just want to piss off Giants fans. Mission accomplished.
Of course SNY will pick the Jets to go to the playoffs;
as long as the Giants are in QB hell. Everything else can improve but if the QB play is lousy you can’t predict anything more than that.
If the QB play is just mediocre and the D improves, and the new guys play well, than a winning record would be within reach. But if we get 2023 DJ and the backups don’t improve, it’s gonna be a loooonnnnggg season.
I can imagine a somewhat competitive season similar to 2022

Feel like I've heard about improvements to these groups before. What happened then? By the way, didn't every other team "improve" too.
The giants went 3-3 in division last year. It will be
hard to do better this year. The commies are improved.
Cowboys beat us by 40 twice. Eagles have Barkley and
got the quality corners in round 1 and 2. The NFC north is tough.
The only ways the Giants win more than five games
Big jumps in performance Neal Schmitz Flott
& Giants better luck with injuries than opponents.
I predicted 4-6 wins myself. If you go through the schedule game by game, I'm not sure how anybody can come up with 8-10 wins as many called it on that record prediction thread that was up a few weeks ago.
I agree since that’s 5-12 on paper. Not one contact, not one scrimmage so let’s add 50% to the win side once we see what product we have come post pre-season.

but the Eagles are massively overrated right now. They were horrid down the stretch. And they lost the best player on the OL and the guy that held everythig together. They also lost a couple of key pieces on defense. I think they could very well be coming back to the pack.
Three wins seems more likely. Who exactly are they beating? Maybe a couple of NFC South opponents and a split with the Commanders? I would be shocked if they beat any of the AFC North teams. Maybe it will be wins against the Vikings and the Colts again to ensure they miss out on their quarterback in 2025? How fitting would that be? A perfect book end to Brian Daboll's NYG coaching career courtesy of our coach killer!
There's a lot of good, young talent on the team. Enough of which to put together double digit wins if the key players stay healthy and they're well coached. This is not a team without feathers.

I'm in agreement: 10 wins is not out of the question so long as the key guys stay healthy. I mean lets be real but there is nowhere to go but up.
Whatever one's view, Connor Hughes' comment about Week 1
To predict a 5 win team. In the last 2 seasons under Schoen and Daboll this team went 15-18-1. Daniel Jones is 10-11-1. Last year we won 6 games. Barkley missed 3 games, Waller missed 5 games, Andrew Thomas missed 7 games, Evan Neal 10 games. Devito as an undrafted rookie started 6 games.
This team has talented players that can make plays. We have seen teams in the past where we had absolutely no one on a top level or barely even had starting caliber players. It was easy to see a 5 win team. This is not that team despite what some may claim.
I seriously doubt we lose more games than last year. But I’m tired of trying to convince anyone. Just drop the smugness if/when proven wrong.
So it’s “smug” to think that a team that has sucked for over a decade will suck again? That’s an interesting way of looking at it. So what to we call those that blindly believe the team will be good? I’m guessing you have a cute, cuddly description for their (your) opinion? I’ll give you one “ignorant”. I could come up with a bunch of those type names but I don’t get offended by those with different opinions as you seem to. May I suggest finding a safe space?
That scare you? Bengals and Ravens, sure. Outside of them, the Eagles, and the Cowboys, I see about 11 games that are there for the taking. Last I checked, the Giants still play in the National Football League, not the National QB League.
The Giants are going to have one of the best DL in the league, a top 10 MLB, and Banks is a stud. The secondary has lot of young talent which will look a lot better with Burns, KT, Sexy Dexy, and Azeez getting after the QB. On the offensive side, there is a shit load of talent at the WR position, the RB room is the biggest question mark to me but a lot of intriguing players, and an OL which is improved, and just statistically impossible to be that injured again, with a significant improvement in coaching.
The Giants are more than the QB position. I’m willing to concede that DJ is a negative player at the position, but Geno Smith and Kirk Cousins were in the pro bowl last year, and Goff was an alternate, no one in the NFC has the position figured out, outside of the Eagles. QB play across the league sucks. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Giants start 2-1/3-0, and if that happens, I could easily see ‘em winning 10 games. More likely they win 7-9 games, but this squad is not as bad as people say they are. I mean, despite what Parcells said, they weren’t as bad last year as their record last year either. They had shit luck with injuries and the wheels fell off because Wink saw his window of opportunity to get a HC job slam shut so he went on a smear campaign.
Fuck the “wah wah” bullshit ‘cause our QB stinks, and fuck the people who think being a fan means shitting on your own team until you’re right so you can say you were right. This team is going to the playoffs. Or they’ll go 7-10 and I’ll be crying with the rest of you, but I’d rather at least have SOME hope.

Sucked for over a decade but their best season in that time included a playoff win 2 seasons ago. Last year the wheels fell of for a number or reasons, mostly injuries, but it doesn’t mean they can’t get back to the momentum of 2022.
Close enough, lol. I've lost brain cells watching the Mets and Giants, haha.
It wouldn’t surprise me but neither would 9-8.

Looks like they predict he will miss 5 games to me…
Geezus, did that hurt your head making that statement. I doubt a Pulitzer is on its way to you....
You're right. We shouldn't look at the quarterback
But the most important position maybe in any sport remains a valid and top question.
And if the QB position does not improve, they will continue into the abyss. It's as simple as that.
And that’ll be the difference between 10-7 or 5-12 this year.
Either way, we are very far away from being a team who can win a championship
This is a shocking prediction for a team that are Super Bowl contenders every year .
I hope I’m wrong.
I agree since that’s 5-12 on paper. Not one contact, not one scrimmage so let’s add 50% to the win side once we see what product we have come post pre-season.

Now its surprising that media people think the Giants wont be very good?
No offense, but 10-12 wins? Please explain.
I think that is loco.

It's a young and talented team that will get better as the season progresses. If the injury gods are good to us, I expect 10 to 12 wins.

Milton absolutely loves him some Daniel Jones.
I’ll leave it to you to figure out what that means for his football acumen…

Huh? It's already an insult that the Vikes opened as a 1 point favorite, but c'mon, that would make it a tossup.
I expect Darnold to play and Giants to win.
Giants really need to get off to a 2-0 start by beating the Commanders the following week, and they will have a good shot.
Even giving NYG six straight losses Weeks 3-8, I still get them at 7-10 on a quick run-through.
I would be surprised (somewhat) by either less than six wins or more than nine.
