As we enter the final stretch of the season, the Baltimore Ravens have work to do to firm up their postseason position. They need to stack wins in these final four games of the run-in to move up the AFC playoff picture seeding line.

The Ravens are on bye this weekend, which means they will have an extra week to prepare for their next opponent, the New York Giants.

They aren’t precisely “Big Blue” anymore, as they currently hold the worst record in the NFC (tied with the Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars for worst in the league) at 2-10. They may be 2-11 by the time this kicks off, and if that all doesn’t scream “get right game,” then I don’t know what does.

The Giants have already parted ways this season with Daniel Jones, the man they once believed would someday develop into their franchise quarterback. Head Coach Brian Daboll could be next, as his long-term future at the club is anything but specific right now.

As bad as the Giants have been, Daboll still has the social capital of winning NFL Coach of the Year just two years ago going for him. He has his backers, and that includes club legend Tiki Barber.

The former running back believes in the culture that Daboll has built in the Meadowlands.

“I think that the culture that Daboll built in year one is still strong,” Barber said in an exclusive with RG. “As long as they play hard, the formula is there. They just have to get better together. I’m biased. I don’t want to see the turnover. I don’t like that in organizations, because it’s just really hard to keep starting over.

“The Giants have had a history of two years out, this would be three years out (for Daboll). I think the organization needs some stability.”

Barber is right; you want to avoid organizational turnover if you can. Stability is critical, as he said, but there’s nothing worth stabilizing when you’re in the running for the #1 overall draft pick.

According to reports, the Giants are dealing with additional uncertainty at quarterback, the most critical position in sports.

Losing to the Giants would be disastrous for the Ravens, as this is by some margin the easiest game left on their schedule.

Or at least it is on paper. The Raiders game in week two seemed like an easy slam dunk, and you all remember how that turned out.
