But I can't stand seeing Jacobs back here. The decision to do so is mind-boggling and is on both Coughlin and Reese.
He's going to be a problem if this gets really bad. Whenever we hit adversity in the time he was here, Jacobs never lead the way out of it, and was usually chirping non-stop.
Also, don't forget Rolle was ready to quit on this team his first year here.
seems less vocal now than he was a couple years ago.
Honestly I think we are happy the defense is somewhat mediocre in the 1st half of games. This was a step up from the end of last year. It is not like they are playing that great. Still waiting for our famous DEs to make an impact play or two.
Offense deteriorating so quickly (OL) has been the big surprise for most of us - well for me at least. I thought w/ Nicks, Cruz (thank God we signed him), Randle with his glowing reports in preseason, and Wilson, we would be uber-dynamic on O. Too bad we can't block anyone.
A lot of the core players are old and at the and of their careers. Most of the coaching staff is old and at the end of their careers. That's some really bad chemistry right there.
The thing I found very disturbing during the game was
the team's demeanor on the sideline. No one cheering each other on. No one picking each other up. No one huddling with their unit or position coaches. I don't think I've seen Eli get together with Gilbride and review pics or formations once this year. No attempt to fire anyone up. No attempt to figure out what went wrong on that last series and get it corrected. None of it. Why? To folks that were at the game, am I wrong?
over loyalness to his coaching assistants and veterans has finally caught up with this team. Overly predictable and no one is
ever held accountable; the excuse is always lack of
execution. Nope, the problem is we are stale. The league has this team figured out an the coaches are to stubborn to change.
The coaches all have a top down coaching scheme, they ignore their player strengths and play around their terrible schemes first most. We need big changes that I just don't see coming from this coaching staff, the players have lost faith and once thats gone its hard to restore.
i'm sure this has been said in the gamethread or one of the million
"over loyalness to his coaching assistants and veterans has finally caught up with this team"
Are you kidding? A stable coaching situation is a necessity for success. Furthermore, successful teams don't fire assistant coaches. And successful veteran players don't get replaced until younger, better, cheaper alternatives arrive to replace them. What All-Pro did the Giants cut due to "over loyalness" to existing players?
Can we please have the tough old Tom Coughlin back. This group of players is soft and need an ass kicking.

All we have is a couple other reporters saying Banks said there are chemistry issues.
Amazing how these things take on a life of their own

This stuff always comes out of every team when it is losing, but miraculously disappears when it is winning.

the team has no fight and it starts from the top down. 4th and X down by 20 something points with 3-4 minutes go in the third and they punt?
