How do major changes NOT happen if we postseason?

so sit tight

make playoffs 4 out of 5 aside from SB win, that we were 10-6 (easily could have been 11-5) in 2010..Technically no playoffs, but come on

changes(some major) are made in today's NFL, so that's no surprise..what if we're 10-6 and kiss the playoffs?

NO ONE has done better than us since 2007..I don't care what other records have been or near misses they've had, NO ONE has done better than us where it matters most..

Do I want to compete EVERY year? You bet, but I am very satisfied with what we've attained..

Bah..Miss the playoffs

at least by Giants standards - a brand new offense and a significant roster overhaul. I don't think the idea behind it was a one-year fix. We're in rebuilding mode.

2007- SB Champs
2008- 12-4, best record in NFC
2009- 8-8 (this was a bad year)
2010- 10-6, a 7 minute meltdown from maybe getting a bye in the playoffs
2011- SB Champs
2012- 9-7 (disappointing, but competitive)
2013- 7-9 (VERY bad year, worse than record indicates)

The Giants have been pretty consistent, they haven't been the Pats, but the Pats also haven't won any SB's in the same time period.

Watching this preseason, I know Coughlin isn't the issue and I would not making a coaching change regardless of how this season goes. This is clearly a talent issue and not a coaching issue. TC is still consistently looked at as a top 5 HC in the NFL, why in the world would we make a change? It is very likely the next guy will not be as good as TC.

I also have a pretty good feeling we will appreciate Gilbride a lot more for what he did here.

Especially when the division has been weaker than usual these past few years.

when he had made the playoffs two straight years.

I hate being reminded of 2010 - I thought we could have won it all that year.

Thankfully, we made up for it the year after.

it's a talent issue.

Just means it's not the be all, end all of job security. He wasn't making the playoffs with last year's roster. In fact, he won seven games with a 4-12 roster, to his credit. This year's roster looks only moderately improved.

Now if "big" changes means Reese or Ross, count me in.

Big changes will happen based on decisions regarding TC.

IF he comes back (ie team does decently enough, he decides not to retire or something), I think things stay a bit stable.

Reasoning..
Fewell is his guy and the D most likely will do ok (assuming they are not playing 40 minutes/a game)

Macadoo will have just finished his first year, if the offense is moderately good, or even shows signs that it can work, I don't think they make a change and then have 3 different O's in 3 years.

If TC goes, and the Offense/Defense stink then both coordinators go and we are back to Square 1, and I can then see bigger roster changes as well..

the season hasn't even started. Give this plan they put together some time.

I was going to post something similar to this. Yea, 5-6 except for that Fucking Superbowl thriller you negative fuck. See almost the same except 56 has a lot more class.

As it's to all the negative fucks, and not just the OP.

:)

to a long term overhaul by completely changing out the offense, and they all but admitted that the offensive line has to be rebuilt?

I think they have realistic expectations that this is going to take time.

while we may have just missed the playoffs in those years, we controlled our own destiny, and screwed the pooch...

Nice to see it written out like this yet again. Instantly makes me feel better. And the 2009 year we started 5-0 and were dominating other teams. After pierce went out and our secondary was completely exposed - it got ugly. But Eli and the offense were very good that year.

Too many have become mirror images of what we loathed in Cowboy fans. Giant fan = Cowboy fan. Too bad. Spoiled, same sense of entitlement. Resembling the people from Martyr's Court & 555 @ Rose Hill in the 70s. Same deal: but those loathsome creatures were Cowboy fans. We who had to stomach the House of Mara could only dream of 2 Super Bowl wins in 5 years. It is amazing to me.

But I don't know what you're talking about.

It'll most likely the major turnover this year of Players, offense, etc will be taken in consideration. Yes, you can turn it around in a year, but that's if everything develops and mends fast. I really don't expect that happening with them this season after hearing what they are saying about "work in progress." It's going to take awhile for the system to grasp on and gelling of the offense..wouldn't doubt til at least the last 4 games of the season when all starts to come together. Hoping for the best, but expecting and being patient with getting things primed for the future.. and a consistant run at playoffs and hopefully another SB championship.

the playoffs this year will make much difference. One of the best head coaches in football isn't going anywhere. Fewell has done a decent job and is improving. McAdoo should be given more than 1 season.

In any case I expect improvement in the Oline. Better TE. Can't do it all in 1 year. We are rebuilding so you sometimes have to sacrifice today for the future.

Now, if Coughlin decides to retire, we could see a lot of coaching changes and probably for the worse, not better.
