The New York Giants have sputtered into yet another disappointing start to the season that has put them among the worst records in the league through the first six weeks. Eli Manning has struggled tremendously from the start.
This has brought the conversation over to the team's struggles last year that saw them limp through the season that began with holding the same mark through the same point. On that note, Manning voiced that he believes that the lack of success in the 2017 campaign came largely due to injuries, according to Tom Rock of Newsday.
The Giants were beaten down with the injury bug last season that saw almost their entire wide receiver group struck down by injuries with Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall, and Sterling Shepard. This put the offense in a major hole to rely upon tight end Evan Engram and Shepard when healthy as their only true options in the passing game.
Meanwhile, New York has been largely healthy this year with their roster with the only notable being starting center Jon Halapio being out for the year. The team has gotten back the return of defensive end Olivier Vernon and tight end Evan Engram close to being back on the field. It has just simply been their lack of fluidity offensively that has put them in a huge hole.
If the Giants hope to turn it around it will require them to play nearly flawless football the rest of the way in the final 10 games of the regular season. It is on their shoulders to make the most out of the rest of the year to get back into the playoff picture.
