What's their record at the end of this quarter of the season?
I'm never giving up until we're mathematically eliminated. I am one hard headed bastard!!

I love the way you think. NEVER SURRENDER!
I thought before the Jets game that it was not unreasonable for the Giants to go 6-2 before the Christmas date with the Eagles. Of their opponents in that timeframe, only the Cowboys were above 0.500 in late October. I had them going 3-1 over the 4 games you listed and winning two of the next three in December. With the loss to the Jets, they will need to steal another one to go 6-2.
Hey, I can dream can't I?
If the D keeps playing like this, and the OLINE starters come back...I believe they're due to beat the Cows.
If they pull that miracle off, it could spring them to 4-0 during this stretch and then....Can you say Tommy Coughlin?!! Suddenly a 4 game winning streak lands them at 6-6 with 5 games left!

Both of you guys...
I'm with you, although the math would require the miracle of miracles. To he honest, if they don't see any player the absolutely love in next year's draft, I hope they give it a run. If they DO see such a player IMO we will know because Daboll's recent run of seemingly inexplicable game-day blunders will continue (and become "explicable" lol). Bob
Going 2-2 with three road games is questionable, but if Jones and Thomas are coming back I think it's possible. I don't see anything better than that though. So maybe 4-8.
This 2023 team doesn't have it. And even if we do we can't stay healthy. I feel like the whole roster is put together with scotch tape right now.
Two of those organizations just disrupted their teams and the Pats are beatable too. In a fantasy, they go 3-1 that stretch. Dallas may beat Philthy this week. They look to be the NFC's best team right now.
So. 5-7 if no more injuries to SB, DJ, and the Lines.
As a best-case scenario.
The truth is that of our remaining 9 games, only three are against legitimately above average teams (Dallas and 2x Philly). Everyone else is average or (in a number of cases) worse to significantly worse than average.
I'm not a big "if only x happened, then y could have happened" guy, but let's face facts - both the Buffalo and Jets games probably should have been wins. It is not insane to think we probably should be 4-5 right now with a pretty manageable 9 games remaining.
But we're not. And we're not because bad teams find crazy ways to lose games, which is what we have done. So it's very hard to feel any sort of confidence about the balance of this season at this point. And even if we go 6-3 in the remaining nine, which seems completely absurd at this point, that's STILL not going to get us in. We'll be picking 14th or so, well out of range to even move up to get a top QB, and we'll have nothing to show for it.
So while I will obviously always root for the team during games, as I know no other way to be a fan, it isn't entirely clear what I'm even going to be rooting for, other than just the fleeting satisfaction of a win on that particular day.
2 of the 4 are tanking
A third is in last place. Anything less than winning two of the four is very bad

Two games they would have found a way to win in the early part of last season.
One of the facets of Closed Loop training is to blueprint your successes. Something that seemed to be fleeting. Something that seems now lost.
If they win out they're 10-6 and play themselves out of contention for the very best of next years rookies.
There... I said it.
If that happens I'll come to NY/NJ and buy everyone a steak... or we can meet in Philly for a much-more-affordable cheese-steak. lol
