2021 NFL Power Rankings Week 11: Packers take top spot, Cowboys rebound
By Randy Gurzi
The New York Giants are not a good football team. That might sound harsh, but consider this — their 3-6 record heading into Week 10 is the best record they have had in more than three seasons. Just let that futility sink in.
For whatever reason, they continue to struggle in every facet of the game, and this time, it’s not as if we didn’t see it coming.
New York hired Joe Judge last season as their head coach despite the fact that he was a wide receiver coach for one of the worst wide receiver corps in the NFL. But since that job was in New England, the Giants thought they could be getting their own Bill Belichick.
And after one forgettable season under Judge, they decided to hire Jason Garrett as the offensive coordinator despite seeing him twice per season for the past decade. Had they been paying attention during that time, they would know Garrett only lasted as long as he did in Dallas because he had his play-calling duties stripped from him.
Still, Judge hired arguably the most predictable offensive play-caller in the past 10-years and put him in charge of an offense with limited weapons. The bye week could be a month and they probably still won’t be turning much around. But hey, this is the best they have been in a long time.
