Now we have been asking New York Giants followers how assured they’re within the course of the group as part of the SB Nation Reacts program.
With the 2024 season now within the rearview mirror and the 2025 off season upon us, we needed to take the temperature of the fanbase yet one more time. Maybe unsurprisingly, Giants followers aren’t terribly enthusiastic in regards to the course during which the group seems to be headed.
Solely 30% of Giants followers are assured that the group is headed in the correct course now that the 2024 season is over with.
That could be a steep dropoff from the 78% confidence with which followers entered the season. A lot of the pessimism appears to be tied to the choice to maintain Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll, versus possession altering regimes — not less than within the feedback sections.
Taking a step again from this week, we’ve gotten some fascinating outcomes over the season as a complete. General, Giants followers wish to be assured of their group and whereas they’ve gotten down over particular person losses, confidence tended to pattern upward after taking hits.
Actually, one of many current highs got here after the Giants’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons when most (51%) of followers have been assured that the group was headed in the correct course. That was the identical week the Giants held the primary total choose and followers have been extra assured than they’d been in over two months.
It solely lasted every week, however the group having their choose of each participant within the draft had followers excited. They discovered their silver lining in a storm tossed season.
Then the Giants had their greatest offensive efficiency in a decade, received a sport, misplaced the primary choose, and fan confidence dropped.
Now the Giants are choosing third within the draft and their path to determining an important place in sports activities is extra difficult — to say the least. And regardless of a rookie class that has been universally lauded, most followers don’t appear assured that the group can flip issues round any time quickly.
We’ll, after all, see if that’s true and the Giants are headed nowhere quick, or if John Mara’s religion in Schoen and Daboll is definitely nicely positioned.
