EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY—The last season and a half has been a painful one for the New York Giants and their fans. Over their last 23 games, the Giants have compiled a record of 4-19 and are 1-16 in their last 17 NFC conference games.
This kind of ineptitude is something that you would expect from the Cleveland Browns, not one of the model franchises in the league.
But perhaps the most difficult thing that Giants fans have witnessed in this span is the regression of the franchise’s greatest quarterback, Eli Manning.
In Manning’s first full eight seasons as a starter, the team never put forth a losing record.
