The collapse nearly is complete.
On and off the field, the Giants have reached a rock bottom rarely seen in the nearly century-long history of the franchise, a run of ignominy that will match — or even exceed — any in its mostly storied past.
On the field, they are 2-11, careening toward what might be the worst record since the club’s founding in 1925, when Tim Mara plunked down $500 to join the NFL. General manager Dave Gettleman has deconstructed the roster piece-by-piece, leaving a woefully incomplete group for Pat Shurmur to coach, and this just might be the worst team in football.
