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.
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.
