The New York Giants are 0-2 to start the 2025 season.
It’s disappointing to say the least, but also not a terrible surprise. The Giants are a team in transition as they work to develop their young players — including rookie QB Jaxson Dart — while also building the foundation of a consistently competitive team.
The Giants looked anything but competitive in the first week, particularly on offense. The Giants only scored 6 points against the Washington Commanders, despite having plenty of opportunities to finish drives. The offense went from 0-60 against the Cowboys, and the Giants saw career days from Russell Wilson, Malik Nabers, and Wan’Dale Robinson. Unfortunately, the defense couldn’t keep pace, and while the Giants took and re-took the lead multiple times on Sunday afternoon, the defense couldn’t put the Cowboys away.
It wasn’t just the defense, as there were a plethora of penalties and a historic field goal in the mix as well. But regardless, it could have been a triumphant victory for the Giants. An offensive explosion leading to a huge win for a disrespected underdog on the road, but was instead another last second let-down.
There were good signs in the 0-2 start. Obviously, the Giants’ offensive performance against Dallas was one. But they also played suffocating defense through the first three quarters of both games, giving up 33 points combined before the fourth quarter of each game (16 to Washington, 17 to Dallas). Day 3 rookies Cam Skattebo and Marcus Mbow showed that they belong, while Wan’Dale Robinson proved that he’s more than just a short-range gadget player.
On the other hand, the Giants are still o-2 heading into the meat of one of the NFL’s most daunting schedules.
So we want to ask you: The Giants have 15 games remaining in the 2025 season. How many will they win?
Will they “click” and stay dangerous on offense and play tough defense through all four quarters?
Will they simply flail about to another top-5 pick?
Or will they land somewhere in the middle?
