Frankly, given the lack of talent and injuries, it was a minor miracle that Rivers was able to get the team to or above .500 6 times over the 9 seasons from 2010-2018. Of course, that also means that Rivers has had the team at or above .500 10 times in his 13 seasons as a starter. But hey, let's blame Rivers while talking some bullcrap about lame a$$ Eli Manning being some sort of great QB (instead of the thoroughly mediocre at best QB he actually is).
Well, no thank you to that.
