The New York Giants have earned this. In FanSided’s Week 17 NFL Power Rankings, Cody Williams didn’t just rank New York at No. 32—he declared the Giants need a “fresh start entirely.” And while it stings to see your team dead last, it’s not exactly a shocking take. If we’re being brutally honest, this team has looked like it belongs at the bottom for weeks.
From the offense’s inability to move the ball to the defense looking completely checked out, the Giants have been a complete disaster. That 10-game losing streak isn’t some statistical fluke—it’s a testament to how far this franchise has fallen.
And while it’s tempting to argue that former Coach of the Year Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen deserve more time, it’s tough to ignore the evidence staring us in the face: this team is broken.
Williams summed it up perfectly: the current “fruit of their labors” is hard to stomach. It’s not just about the losses; it’s about how lifeless this team has looked while piling them up. And as much as it hurts to see the Giants in this position, it’s even harder to argue that they belong anywhere else.
The NY Giants need to blow the whole operation up and start over
It’s rare for a team to hit rock bottom this hard, but the Giants have made it look easy. Let’s not sugarcoat things—this season has been one long, painful reminder of how far the organization has strayed from its glory days. And while it’s not fun to see outsiders roast the Giants with holiday-themed burns, they’re not exactly wrong.
The idea of a “full reset” might feel drastic, but what’s the alternative? Daboll’s game plans have been uninspired, and Schoen’s roster construction has left glaring holes at critical positions. The decision to hand Daniel Jones $160 million and then cut him a few months later was the cherry on top of a year filled with head-scratching moves.
Sure, there have been some bright spots. Malik Nabers has been a revelation, and fellow rookies Tyrone Tracy Jr, Tyler Nubin, and Dru Phillips have had promising seasons. But a couple of players don’t make a team, and right now, this team is rudderless. Maybe Williams is right—maybe a hard reset is the only way forward.
Giants fans deserve better than this. Watching a team stumble its way to a 2-13 record isn’t just frustrating—it’s exhausting. And while it’s painful to admit, being ranked dead last is probably the most accurate thing that’s happened to this team all season.
So yeah, Cody, the G-Men hear you. This team is a dumpster fire. Let’s just hope someone has a plan to put it out before the whole thing burns to the ground.
