That's fine if you feel that way, and I guess we'll see, huh. We have been hearing the supposed success from DC ever since RG3 was drafted.

I didn't know Dan Quinn had a fanbase. Found his work in Atlanta underwhelming and their success came from Shanahan's offense with a prime Matt Ryan. Their signings are questionable with me, and although Wagner is still good, he's very old at this point. Who are their corners? Their DE's? They should have paid Montez Sweat, but opted not to.

Possible for sure. I think we'll be better than 4-13, but as o right now...this roster is the worst in the NFC East IMO.

Could be slightly better, could be slightly worse. But there is a good chance we will have a worse record than a year ago.

First, as it relates to the NFCE, the Commanders will be significantly better on every level. The Giants will be lucky to split this year. So that is at least one or possibly two fewer wins. I don't expect the Giants to win any of the four games against the Eagles or Cowboys, so since they split with the Eagles last year, that is possibly another fewer win. So I would expect 1-5 against the division in 2024, as compared to 3-3 last year. Maybe they win the meaningless week 18 game against the Eagles? But I would not count on it.

And second, the rest of the schedule is about the same. Yes the 2024 NFC South is easier than the 2023 NFC West, but the 2024 AFC North is more difficult than the 2023 AFC East. I would expect a 2-6 record against these two divisions. Split with the NFC South and lose all four games against the AFC North. So then it comes down to the 2024 Colts, Vikings and Seahawks v the 2023 Raiders, Packers and Saints. Sounds slightly tougher to me. Colts and Seahawks better than the Raiders and Saints, Packers better than the Vikings. So I would expect a 1-2 record against these three teams.

So this is realistically 4-13. Could it be better? Yes, a couple of upsets and some good luck could get them to 7-10 perhaps? But overall, unless miracles occur in 2024 at QB/OL/RB, this is a bottom tier NFL team.



How is Washington significantly better? They still have glaring holes on defense and OL is looking worse than Big Blue's crew. Their depth chart is really bad on the line. Still have good wide puts and you assume Daniels makes them better, but we don't know that for sure yet. Mariota is worse than Lock.



First, Snyder is gone and Harris is a smart guy. Second, Quinn and Kingsbury are big upgrades over Rivera and Bieniemy. Third, Daniels is much better than Howell. Even if Daniels were to have a shaky start, that team is going to respond positively to a Kingsbury led offense with Daniels at the helm. Fourth, the Commanders had the best draft in the NFL in 2024. And fifth, they had a sensational off season in terms of free agents - Ekeler, Ertz, Wagner, Biadasz, Ferrell, Fowler, Zaccheaus. Just to name a few. So yeah, I would expect it to be more difficult for the Giants to sweep them again in 2024.


Methinks you’re overrating Kingsbury a bit. As far as FA signings, Ekeler is a small back nearing 30, Ertz is 33 with an ACL and had a whopping 27 catches last year. DC will be better, but not by much. I expect NYG to better as well.
It's hard to go 4-13  
Go Terps : 7/9/2024 7:14 pm : link
Even for the bad teams (which I think the Giants are) a lot has to go wrong to be that bad. There are, after all, a lot of bad teams. Sometimes bad teams even sneak into the playoffs at 9-7-1.

What's fair to say is that whole the Giants probably won't go 4-13, they definitely can go 4-13. And no one on earth thinks they can go 13-4.

There's going to be a lot of people looking extremely foolish. This is a young team who was devastated with impactful injuries a year ago and has made notable talent upgrades in more than one key spot (Oline, pass rush, and WR). It seems pretty obvious that there's a path for this team to be significantly improved. It doesn't mean that's how it will play out, but the path is clearly out there for anyone to see who isn't clueless or doesn't have an axe to grind.

Say what you want right now but those beating relentlessly on the drum about this being a bad team could and should be called out if proven wrong.


I will gladly eat crow if this team wins 7 or more games next year.

You don't have to be a member of a fan club to acknowledge that Dan Quinn is a quality coach. In addition to his two super bowl appearances with Seattle and Atlanta in 2014 and 2016, Quinn's Cowboys defense over the past three years absolutely annihilated the Giants as they won all six games by a combined score of 205-79. So yeah, I'd say he is a big upgrade over Riverboat Ron.

A lot of coaches are better coordinators than HC's. His stint in Atlanta wasn't great when you consider his defenses were below par. Their success came from Shanahan.

Gus Bradley had the same success with the Seattle defense. Sure he did well in Dallas, but weren't great when they faced top offenses or in big moments. They and Dak shit themselves, while favored, against Green Bay.

2023 AFCE was also strong heading in, and injuries derailed a lot of scenarios. Bills barely beat the Giants and scored 14 points, but their defense was horrible with injuries. Dolphins got their injury purge later in the season. Jets lost their QB in Week 1.

I feel like the Ravens won't be as strong with MacDonald gone and losing Queen. We'll see there. Cincinnati with a healthy Burrow should win it.

I am sorry, I thought dan Quinn was hired as a head coach and not the defensive coordinator. Must be mistaken since you seem bent on mentioning his defensive prowess in Seattle and dallas.
I think Washington has a strong coaching outfit.  
cosmicj : 7/10/2024 8:38 am : link
Incl Klingsbury and Larry Izzy. Quinn brought along his secondary coordinator from Dallas so I’m sure the HC will be heavily involved in the defensive coaching. Steve Spurrier and crew this ain’t.
I am more optimistic than that  
arniefez : 7/10/2024 8:57 am : link
but I guess reality could sink in quickly, pun intended, if the Giants don't win at least 1 of their first 2 games. They're playing a lot of potentially very good teams in games in games 3 through 7. I think an 0-2 start could easily become 0-7 or 1-6 after 7 games.

If that happens and if this season is a 4-13, top 5 draft pick year I don't want the Mara's to make any changes at GM or HC unless off the field stuff forces their hands.

I like the plan the GM and HC have and I think if given the proper support from ownership they can turn the Giants around. The QB has gotten full ownership support and 6 years and counting. Give the GM and HC the same ownership support and at least 4 years.

You might have missed the fact that Dan Quinn took the Falcons to the Super Bowl as a HEAD COACH. You were probably too busy licking Ben McAdoo's ass at the time...

And he had the 27th ranked defense in points and 25th defense in yards. So, much for his defensive coordinator prowess propelling them to a superbowl win.

What happened to his team when shanahan left? His defense didn't carry the team.

I am not sure why you want to die on this hill. All I said was that it would be difficult for the Giants to sweep the Commanders again in 2024 and that a split was more likely. By hiring Kingsbury, Quinn is acknowledging precisely your point about the importance of Shanahan. Vegas sees both teams' win total over/under at 6.5 so the expectation is that they are no worse than the Giants. So I will stick with my expectation of a split.

I'm not sure how it would be a massive disaster. Who outside the Giants fan base is expecting this team to win more than 8 games? The over/under is currently set at 6.5 wins.

4 wins is a bad season, but this is a bad team.


Sorry bruh, you state that if it is fact. And yes, 8 wins down to 4 wins is vastly different. So what exactly is your point.

I'll go one step further. If this team did go 4-13 and fired Daboll but kept Schoen, we are probably in for another decade of 4 win seasons. And honestly I don't think BB is coming here to work on a reclamation project unless Schoen is gone too.


You are speculating on speculation. Geezus, what is wrong with you. Some dumb article has us at 3 wins and now you think the coach will be fired but mot the GM and we're in for 10 bad years. You took 5 leaps there... my God some of you.

Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson will supposedly battle with Bo Nix. Payton is publicly very high on Nix. I think Nix will be successful in this league and if the Giants had drafted him instead of Naybers, I would not have kicked.
