Think back to the last time the Giants effectively gave up on their season in October.
With the team now in full rebuild mode after the trades of cornerback Eli Apple and Damon “Snacks” Harrison, it’s a good opportunity to see how the last such fire sale went and how long it took to rebuild the team from the ashes of a lost season.
Wait.
Was there ever another time when something like this happened, when the Giants effectively waved the white flag this early?
We think not.
The only remotely similar time may have been in 1969, when the Giants lost all five preseason games – including a 37-14 loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Jets – and they fired coach Allie Sherman a week before the start of the regular season.
