The New York Giants were officially eliminated from playoff contention coming off their eighth straight loss in Week 13. At this point, it is safe to say that this team has fallen vastly short of the expectations they set heading into the 2019 NFL season.

The Giants have ushered in some significant changes in an effort to rebuild into potential playoff contenders. Co-owner Steve Tisch admits that the front office has plenty of evaluating to do after the season, via Bruce Beck of WNBC:

“It’s been a very frustrating season,” Tisch said. “At the end of the season, John Mara and I are gonna get together and discuss the future. As partners we have to be very honest with each other about where we see this team going into the 2020 season.”

Although the Giants were still in the early stages of their rebuild, they had high hopes for a potential resurgence in the 2019 campaign. Unfortunately, it has become evident that there is still plenty of work to do before that even becomes a possibility.

This is a crucial time for New York given all the young talent they have brought in. Not only has running back Saquon Barkley's production regressed, but quarterback Daniel Jones is still trying to find his footing as a bonafide starter in this league.

The onus will ultimately fall on the Giants' brass to ensure that they are providing the right type of environment to flourish.

They will have to decide whether or not head coach Pat Shurmur is the right man for the job.
