At least the poll had more options. I like 19-0 as it would piss off Brady and company. I like 19-0 also, but more because the Giants won every game than anything to do with some middling starter that lucked into a great situation. You're kidding, right? I dislike the Patriots as much as any other Giants' fan, but...if you truly believe what you typed, then you're clueless. With all due respect. As for the poll...I described it as more meaningful than another poll that simply asked whether the Giants would win more or less than 6.5 games. No, it won't affect the actual number of games the Giants win in 2018. As per usual, you have completely over-analyzed a relatively-simple concept. But that's why we all love you so much

Thank you for clarifying your description so I can answer your poll.

Worst case 6 wins, best case 10 wins, so I think 8 wins is a realistic projection. I have no idea how anyone could predict more then 10 wins if they looked at that schedule, it's brutal....

It's really impossible to predict much, with so many changes and uncertainties. However, the first half of the schedule looks the most brutal, and barring injury things should pull together better in the second half. If they were to win 5 out of the first 8, then winning more than 10 for the season seems realistic.

I did a poll like this last year on the Giants.com board, and it was something like 100ish voters, and no one picked us finishing under 8-8. I picked 10-6.
Bottom line is, no one knows, but Im going to be cautious this year and say 5-11 to 8-8. Its just going to be hard to be ready in the beginning of the season with the new schemes, coaches and players. I still dont feel comfortable with the OL or DB situations. I still dont think Eli will be the Eli of old magically because he has a potentially great RB.
Personally, I think 2019 or even 2020 is when we can have another window of success and that is based on us finding the next franchise QB since Eli will be another 2-3 years older.

Not what you hope it will be. Not what the guy on ESPN thinks it will be. What does YOUR brain tell you it's going to be? How does that make this meaningful? Will our votes have an impact on the results? Will it change what the guy on ESPN thinks? Is this why ESPN predicted the records of all the teams last year and came out with more wins than mathematically possible across the league? ************************************************************************************************************************************ Meaningful? It's a gauge of expectations of fellow fans and is about as 'meaningful' as all posts expressing opinions. Impactful on results? Seriously, what post on any fanboard has ever had an impact on results? We're just shooting the breeze and hopefully moderating our expectations so we won't be at each others throats with venom and rage if and when things go south. I dunno about you, but I read these boards for fun and business blogs for financial insight... and both purposes are important to me. Now, carry on and play nice in the sandbox, boys!

This was settled already. OP was FOS and this poll has no more "meaning" than any other one.

I just changed my vote from the 7-9/9-7 bracket to the 4-6 win one. I foresee 5 or 6 wins but that's about all.

Too many big changes happened for everything to just magically click this year. I think we will be improved but after a season of being under a new system and another fruitful draft in 2019 we will be in much better shape heading into next season.
