EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — No matter how bad things get for the New York Giants, coach Brian Daboll is probably not going to change his message to the team.
It’s always going to be: Trust the process, stay the course, work the problem and take it one week at a time.
It worked well last year as New York started fast, posted a 9-7-1 record and made the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
Five weeks into this season, the process isn’t working. The Giants (1-4) have lost three straight and are quickly running out of time to make the postseason again
They need to go 8-3-1 in the final 12 games just to match last year, and that’s no guarantee of a postseason trip. The final 12 games include two with the Eagles (5-0), next week at Buffalo (3-2) and another at Dallas (3-2), which beat New York 40-0 to open the season.
