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.
I think there worth 4 more prime time games right
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
Imagine having expectations before this year as a giants fan
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
TIL Giants won in 2011 with a negative point differential
Bro just leave us alone lol wtf
Remember when Giants fans were saying that they would be good this year?
We’re doing our part!
Imagine giving up 70 points in a pro game lol.
It’s ok their schedule gets a lot easier after that 2nd Eagles game
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.
