[OC] This is the Giants second worst season in their 99-year history as measured by point differential per game (-14.8 in 2023). This chart shows their timeline since 1925. (alien.top)

I don't know if you all have noticed, but this 2023 Giants team sucks. As an analyst, the eye test isn't enough for me. I need data, so I got it. And the data confirms that they suck...maybe even worse than the eye test. The Giants -14.8 point differential per game is second worst only to the 1-12-1 1966 Giants who had a per game point differential of -17.0. That 1966 team put up 41 points on offense against Washington in a game and still lost. They lost because they gave up 72.

Below you can see each year's point differential per game for the Giants with a few annotations. This image really puts into perspective just how bad 2023 has been so far.

That Washington game was the last time a team scored at least 70 points before the Dolphins vs Broncos this year happened

Yea, but really who needs a positive point differential to win. Couldn't be me.

Damn maybe they are the worst team in the league

TIL Giants won in 2011 with a negative point differential

Imagine having expectations before this year as a giants fan

[–] insert90@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

it doesn't come close to making up for them winning two super bowls, but i still feel blessed to be alive for this era of giants football

Remember when Giants fans were saying that they would be good this year?

It's ok their schedule gets a lot easier after that 2nd Eagles game

[–] 77Gumption77@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fewer points were scored overall back in the day, so this isn't really a great comparison of how "bad" the team is.

A 10 point comeback used to be notable in the 80s and now it's borderline routine.

Not resigning Julian Love was a huge mistake. He was a leader on the team. Plus our schedule has been the most difficult in memory.
