Even within the wake of arguably essentially the most devastating lack of the Brian Daboll period Sunday in Denver, the Giants flew again residence to New Jersey on Sunday evening with hope.
Their hope lies in the correct arm (and legs) of fearless rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, in addition to in Cam Skattebo, their wrecking-ball rookie operating again.
Conversely, a couple of hours earlier, the Jets filed slowly from the quiet of their dropping locker room out of MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon after a dull, desultory 13-6 loss to the endlessly mediocre Panthers with no hope.
Oh and 7 … and counting.
