The New York Giants have become the first team eliminated from playoff contention this season, raising questions about the decisions made by general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll.
Key mistakes include the contract extension for quarterback Daniel Jones, which has resulted in wasted seasons, and failing to prioritize the interior defensive line, leaving them vulnerable against the run.
Additionally, letting safety Xavier McKinney walk in free agency has proven costly, as he is now excelling with the Green Bay Packers. The Giants' ongoing struggles with their offensive line and the decision to hold onto veterans with expiring contracts further highlight the challenges facing this franchise.
