No one believed in the 2022-23 Giants. “No one believed in us” is a cliche, but cliches become cliches for a reason: Sometimes, truly no one believes in you.

If a well-regarded analyst predicted the Giants to advance to the postseason, you would know because that analyst would be much louder right now. In The Post’s official NFL preview, we envisioned the Giants going 7-10 — which was a rosier outlook than plenty and actually over the 6.5 wins projected for betting reasons. In ESPN’s preseason power rankings, the Giants slotted in No. 28.

“The Giants will be the worst team in the NFL next season,” The Post’s Mark Hale wrote in a column published May 12, which represented an at-best lukewarm (and not smoldering hot) take. No one believed because there was little reason to believe.
