breathless posts about coaching changes and scheme problems and all will miss the major point: The Giants could have Lombardi, Landry, Belichick, and Parcells on the staff with John Wooden giving advice and it wouldn't change the fact that these players, especially on offense and particularly on the offensive line suck, and suck hard.

This team needs talent in the worst way. If part of a rebuild includes new coaches then so be it, but the talent gap is so painfully clear to see for anyone that can watch this with any shred of objectivity.

...like it or not, coaching matters, and it is more than just on game day. First, look at recent history of teams turning things around from one year to the next with a new staff (I know it doesn't always happen, but it can and does). Second, poorly coached/taught players will tend to look shitty over time. Last, players not motivated by a staff will underperform consistently. The talent on this team is not great, but it is not this bad. They just do not respond to this staff.

My guess is that the Giants stick with Eli, that they blame most of his atrocious play on the rest of the OL being even worse, but there are real questions about what we should do with him after next season. He can't play like this again and expect to remain as the starting QB, or even on the team.

We know that he has no offensive line but this is not his first 25 interception year. He throws behind, short, long and off the back foot. He birddogs receivers. Yes, he has had no help at all but this is a group effort and a total disaster for the team and the coach. Start the rebuild now and start with the coaching staff and those players who simply cannot do it anymore. Not talking about Eli here, but please , please no more excuses for any one on this team.

what a crappy effort by our "star" offensive players.


But what I would love to see most is Eli just going off on someone on the sildlines instead of just nodding his head or him standing there like with the I havefreaking clue look on his face. Just blow up Eli, on Cruz on the OL on Nicks on someone, just rip him apart like many other QBs including you big bro has done in the past, when someone isnt preforming as expected. just get in his face and rip him up in front of the whole offense/team.

Correct. But what are the chances that Jerry Reese gets canned? I'd say the chances of Coughlin going are no better than 20% and the chances of Reese going are nil. So now what? We watch another year of lousy football until Coughlin just retires and even then I think Reese has a job. Under this ownership group, nothing short of a fan boycott will bring down Reese/Coughlin.

but the obvious need on this team is for improved play on the interior line. The LG play today was some of the worst you will ever see. We also need a turnover in coaching, because you don't have two shutouts in a season on offense or allow 36, 36, 37, 38 and 41 points on defense and hold what you've got.

We have a bunch of fat cat players and a horrible team overall. This team is years away from even being competitive. We have no OLine, no Tight ends, no Wideouts, except for Cruz who is good, not great, no running backs except for Brown who is not even good, a little better then average, Hillis who is a castoff, and they are our best, a former first round bust also, and an over rated QB, top it off with a bad offensive coordinator and this is what you get.

Ask yourself this: If these players who suck so hard are playing at their optimum level of potential who gave them jobs? Who runs them out there week in and week out? How come, if this is the best available, the Giants are stuck with them?

If the players have quit on the team, well that's the coaching staff's fault isn't it.

Yes, you are right,this team suck big time, but please don't absolve the coaching staff, the GM or the ownership. They share the blame equally.

Even if Eli cut his INT's in half, they still have the same record. Because a good chunk of them would have been 10 yard sacks in crucial moments. Just would have made the scores "not quite as bad".

I doubt this.

If he was going to turn it on, whether he wants to be here or not, it would have happened this season, so he wouldn't have to sign a cap-friendly deal somewhere else and could have at least approached Mike Wallace money.

Don't get me wrong, he put forth a pretty feeble effort today, but his main problem is that he's just a shadow of what he once was physically and that's not going to fully come back for him.

It's not too difficult to follow ... the GM in charge of evaluating talent thought the talent he had assembled was so good that he figured it was safe to put a countdown clock in the locker room - a public pronouncement that his assemblage of players were going to compete for the trophy and be the first team in NFL history to play the SB in their own building.

Again, not too difficult to understand that anyone who would do that, was seriously "off" in his evaluation - this being the one person being paid millions of dollars to make an accurate assessment of that very talent

MarshallOnMontana : 12/15/2013 4:30 pm : link
was just how far our program is behind the current elite of the league. And on our home field too. The NFL is year to year, and you can see wild swings from one year to the next, but we will need a home run offseason. Its a shame we pissed away draft slotting on some meaningless wins against a lucky stretch of the schedule with qb situations in flux. We are closer to 3-11 quality than 5-9
and it's funny bringing up Manziel

if you don't like INTs, you're gonna love Manziel.

I'm not saying he's not going to translate, but typically these top college QBs do not throw picks. I mean RG3 threw 17 in 1200 passes. Manziel throws picks, if he pans out he's going to be a 25-15 30-20 split type guy

How can it be over emphasized? After all, Reese clearly wouldn't have done it unless he thought the Giants were one of the top teams in the league ... If you don't have a problem that he thought that, then that's fine. But, if I am Mara and Tisch, I have a HUGE problem paying Reese millions of dollars only to learn that weeks before the season started, he thought the Giants were one of the very best teams in the league. He gets paid millions of dollars to know the actual state of affairs - but he obviously didn't have a clue - and to me, that is unforgivable. Permanently unforgivable.

Is the super bowl clock the reason why Snee tore his hip, Baas was lost for the year, Beatty played like a rookie after having a great season?

Is the super bowl clock the reason Hakeem Nicks suddenly doesn't have any talent and Reuben Randle still can't run a play without causing an interception?

You can have a problem with it, that's fine, but they're not going to fire the GM or somehow discipline him to your satisfaction because of this year.

Can someone on offense make a play? You aren't going to get a perfect pass in a season like this. When you do its going to be dropped, tipped or guy running the wrong route or quitting on the route. When the guy is open Eli fucks up. In this fucking season, all of the above will go wrong.

But you are 1 on 1 with your X? Those are plays Nicks made in his career. If that's the case then design a play that's more safe. Have someone run a hitch, not Murphy Jr.. Throw to a Rb. For the record when Eli threw it I didn't expect a TD. I didn't expect an Ints either in that fashion. But when it happened I nodded and though well based on how the season has gone. That's par for the season.

I never once said they were going to fire Reese. In fact, I'd be willing to bet a large chunk of money that there's about zero chance he will be fired.

But, if this season is on anyone, it's on Reese. And to try to blame this season in injuries is silly. Injuries have very very little to do with the problem. The problem is that the team is devoid of talent - and it is going to take 2-3 years of gathering talent to turn things around. Problem is, the guy in charge of gathering talent has done a piss poor job of it over the past 3-4 years AND DIDN'T KNOW IT.

I would agree that the ball was a tad underthrown.

But the problem is the ball was up in the air long enough for Nicks to break the route and make a better play at the ball. Instead, he just continued running as if there is no defender.

Should the ball be thrown the better? Absolutely. But it just goes back to the point where our WRs just dont make plays. Balls are underthrown all the time, and you see WRs make plays on the ball.

We dont have anyone on this team that can do this.

It was neither.

But that wasn't really an ugly INT by Eli. That second pick over the middle on short Nicks crossing pattern was.

Then compounded by that fucking Hail Mary. You're QB has 2 ints already and now you want him to fucking throw it up there for anyone. Eli should have taken a knee and that's saying it kindly.

As a coach you tell your players if the balk is near you or you can touch it bring it in. That's what I preached and I coached that way. I told my TE corps not to make excuses. If during game review I felt it was a bad pass I'd say it. But I ran drills to coach this. I threw balls like Eli is thrown g them. I threw them a lot worse too. You run these drills during Indy period to prepare your players. You coach them up so that they are ready for any kind of pass perfect or bad.

So no I have no sympathy for it because I know as a skill position coach I coached and designed drills for games like this.

It's screams obvious (well, for not for everyone), but yet, unless they're going to be willing to fire TC, it's not going to happen and if it doesn't happen, Eli's not a realistic solution here at this point, he's that messed up right now; all he's likely going to accomplish within the status quo is to fully piss away anything he may have been building as a legacy with a brutal close to his career. I don't want to watch that and, more importantly, that's not going to help the team I root for succeed in the small or big picture either.

as it gets in the NFL. It worked out exactly the way anybody would've expected. If I had written out the play-by-play action before the game it would've looked almost exactly like it did, although I would've said 3 INTs instead of 5.

- Valiant effort by the defense, futilely keeping the team within touching distance for as long as possible
- Complete zero from the defense with turnovers, no big plays, no ability to move the ball at all

This is also why a lot of people here weren't all that excited about the 4 game winning streak. It wasn't hard to figure out that the Giants were way, way behind the good teams in the league.

it'll set them back 5 years *if* the QB develops.

It's not the fault of the players that the team has been using the same playbook since 2004 and that a competent opposing coaching staff would plan accordingly. This team does not adjust and does not try to do something different.
because they draft to fit the same gameplan.

defense is probably closer to being decent than the offense. At times, they have played well, especially considering the ineptitude of the offense. We need another corner and a passrusher. The former can come from the draft, the latter will have to be the emergence of Moore and the resurrection of JPP.

On offense, it's the OL and a WR. Use FA money to sign a guard and draft another or a tackle. Cut Baas, Snee, and Diehl. Brewer is regressing, but can come to camp. So can Mosley, Goodin, and Herman. Maybe one emerges.

I would also favor trading down for extra picks given all the holes, and the fact that Reese is blowing a lot of selections.

Not sure what to do with Eli. His cap hit is $20M next year. But we might be better just eating that number for one season instead of restructuring and/or extending him. He has suffered from a terrible offense, but is also a big part of the problem.

I think what every poster can agree upon is that the whole offense has been a shit show. Eli, the OL, WRs, and RBs.

You will see new OL next year, a new WR, and a new TE. All I ask is for a new OC. And guess what... if Eli stinks again.... then you can think about replacing him. But to replace him when the surrounding talent is horrendous is just asinine.

that's the thing, though, it's not easy. they got to the playoffs in 11 on the backs of two players (yes, there were more contributions in the playoffs), but without Eli and JPP that don't sniff it in the first place.

now you fast forward to this year, and Eli is having a horrid year (only saved by him being somewhat clean up to this week, but very little point production), and JPP's season I can't even put into words.

That wasn't the gm, that was the owner. Remember his statements about the last SB. He is paying Eli like a top QB, wanted to keep Snee. The coach also begged to have DD, Webster and others return. The owner instructed his FO to pursue Herzlich and keep him on the roster. Everyone on that organization thought it would be a bounce back year. The Maras are not some sideline ownership. Chris Mara runs Reese scouting department. And the coaches have significant input in the draft and FA signing. Coughlin, John Mara and Ross have repeatly expressed this point. Snee and Webster man Coughlin was so wrong about those guys this season.
Today was a complete dumpster fire. TC gave the defense credit

for effort, but they didn't play "well" either. Plus, the special teams is trash.

The thing that drove me craziest about the game was Eli getting picked on his 2 jump balls (with non-competitive efforts by Nicks), but Russell Wilson throws a jump ball and Amukamara barely kept it from being caught by Golden Tate.

People are raking the QB over the coals, but it's impossible to give a decent performance with an o-line this bad. Brewer was horrendous, Beatty was awful, and even Pugh gave up a terrible sack.

The defense tried, but they also missed plenty of tackles and left receivers wide open all over the field.

If I see Bill Leavy on the street any time soon, I'm going to hit him with a snowball that I've molded in the shape of a machete.

barely beat a bunch of teams with poor to awful QBs, and therefore deluded ourselves into believing that we were even mediocre. Not that we really had any chance of making the playoffs, but that a few cuts and additions, and a few decent draft picks, and we would be back again.

Not so. This is a major multiyear rebuilding effort IMO, especially on offense. The players who won those two SBs are old and should have already been cut. Eli is now also on notice IMO. Play better in 2014 or you will be cut as well.

Parcells said "You are what your record says you are." Given who we beat, I'm not even sure that is true. We barely had one hundred yards of offense. Could we even beat Jacksonville, or Houston? Cleveland would stomp us in all likelihood. The only reason we might finish six and ten is that the Redskins are as bad as we are, and it is a home game for us.
Duh! Does Reese make millions?

Let's cut him so we can make room under the cap.

Idiot savant.
If nothing else, Gilbride must go

I dont think anyone will sit here and say that the performance of the offense is all ELi's fault. This O line absolutely sucks. Actually "sucks" is too kind. This may be the worst O Line I have ever seen assembled on a professional team.

That being said, when Eli DOES have time to throw, he simply is NOT making the throws. It is high, underthrown, overthrown, behind the WR...whatever. If I had a nickle for every time I heard someone say .."yeah but he still should have made the catch". Plus we cannot even calculate all of the bad decisions. How many times he did not even see a guy wide open like today in that INT to Nicks in the end zone. Myers was standing there by himself in the middle of the end zone. Could have been his easiest TD of the year. Instead, he was looking at Nicks the entire time and threw an underthrown ball to a guy who was NEVER open at any point during that play. O line had nothing to do with that one.

Lots of blame to toss at Gilbride too by the way.
16 TDs vs 25 INTs

is a failure of a passing offense. Not just one guy, but every layer of it. That being said, Eli owns a big piece of this. Just a dreadful season. And while the situation has not been ideal, he has far from maximized his situation

Ok, this got a chuckle out of me.
At this point I'd be really disappointed in the ownership if no

coaching changes are made. At least the coordinators have to go.

Recivers werent getting open, they dropped passes and they didnt even try to break up the pass when the db's were making interceptions. They except for Cruz have given up on the team
Fuck this season
