The Giants will be fighting to salvage their season on Sunday when they host to Commanders, hoping to avoid an abysmal 1-6 record with backup Tyrod Taylor likely getting the start at quarterback once again.
In Boomer’s opinion, this disastrous start for Big Blue arguably makes them the biggest disappointment in the NFL this season.
“Given what the expectations were going into the season, I don't necessarily know that I know another team that has been this disappointing,” Boomer said. “The expectations coming into this season, because of what happened at the end of last season and their quarterback play were high. Really high.”
There were signs of potential regression after a surprising trip to the divisional round last year, but Boomer did not see this kind of decline across the board, to the point where the Giants are struggling to even find the end zone.
“I knew that there were going to be some issues on defense, especially in the secondary, and you thought maybe just maybe Wink Martindale would figure out a way to get some pass rushing going,” Boomer said. “With Kayvon Thibodeaux just not really showing any signs of being that dynamic pass rusher that they thought they were drafting, plus a young secondary, young cornerbacks, that's a recipe for disaster in this league, unfortunately.”
