Nothing more predictable after a loss

Headhunter : 10/20/2014 8:20 am
calling for firings. If you had the balls and believed that, then call for the people to be fired during a winning streak. Knee jerk sense that the team owes you something. You take the good with bad, but if you feel someone has to be fired after every loss, then man up and do it after a couple of wins
There were plenty of posters

calling for the same people to be fired at the end of last season despite the Giants going 7-3 to end the season.
Well, i have called for Quinn to be fired

virtually every week for the past four years whether we have been winning or losing. So there goes that argument...

As for Fewell, not quite as much but personally I don't base things on whether we have won or lost. I base it on how we are playing, the defensive schemes and the problems the D has that never seem to get fixed.

For example, we always seem to have communications issues in the secondary...yesterday it happened again.
Lots of people after a strong finish last year

wanted most of the coaches gone. I wanted to keep TC but dump the coordinators and many of the other assistants.

That being said, I think it takes even more balls to support the coaches during a losing streak.

Of course you are correct about the lack of knowledge and emotional over action of many fans on this site. But tell me, do you believe Fewell is a good DC?

I don t think I am one of the over reactors. I don t believe I have ever not backed Coughlin or Eli. Also I am not a X and O guy. But my eyes tell me that the Giants defense cannot be trusted. That they keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Am I wrong?
I agree that it's ridiculous to see people here calling for firings,  
shepherdsam : 10/20/2014 8:31 am : link
but it happens win or lose and I don't know how anyone who is around here on a regular basis can miss that.
Just do it after 2 wins in a row  
Headhunter : 10/20/2014 8:34 am : link
that mean something, say we beat the Colts & Seahawks, then start a fire TC thread
I thought Coughlin's time was up

after the 2012 season.
I've called for wholesale changes for a while

If at the end of the season, they've missed the playoffs 5 of the last 6 seasons, they need to clean house.
Do it during a winning

don't fire coaches during the season, so it's irrelevant.

I can't recall a coach being fired during the season.

Even one after "MAJOR" changes were made during the off-season because the owner mandated they be made.

I don't care one way or the other  
Headhunter : 10/20/2014 9:04 am : link
if they clean house or give everyone an extension. Just so easy to fire everyone after a loss and put them in Canton after a win.Write what you feel when you will be subject to blow back
I don't think its just after THIS loss

It's the second season in a row when the season is pretty much a wrap IN OCTOBER. p*ss poor
I think many are just TIRED

of the excuses and collectively none of them (whole team) getting the job done. You espouse excellence in an organization as this organization does, the expectations are very high.

This may come as a surprise to you, but nobody owes you an explanation for their beliefs. If they want to change their mind week to week on who stays and who goes, that's up to them. Nobody has anything they owe you an explanation for.

As mentioned above, I am not sure how people who come to this site regularly don't understand that people react emotionally to the game. You know what? They are fans, not owners! They can call for firings whenever they want!
Why would...  
Chris in Philly : 10/20/2014 9:54 am : link
anyone call for someone to be fired during a period of success? This is a dumb point...
Thanks

I understand your point but the people screaming for firings this early in the season are obviously too over emotional to 'see' why we are losing in the first place. So surely they will be too over emotional to understand your point.

Frankly, anyone upset about this loss doesn't understand how good Dallas really is playing now and how under talented our O-Line is. I thought we did way better than we should have. In fact, there was a point in this game where I thought we might have almost pulled off an upset win.

And for those that don't understand why we would continue to run the ball when it clearly wasn't working here is a coaching tip for you: Many coaches continue to run at the same guy over and over hoping to wear the guy down to the point where the run will be successful later in the game. This strategy works so often that it cannot be ignored.
Last year the Giants went 7-9  
Joe in Cambridge : 10/20/2014 11:14 am : link
The FO considered that bad enough to let a two-time Super Bowl winning OC go along with a couple of long time Giants position coaches. This year the Giants are 3-4 heading into the bye. If the Giants continue perform at the same level, it seems likely that there will be more people losing their jobs at the end of the season.

I have called for Fewell to be fired after wins and losses for about 2 years now. The same can overwhelmingly be said about Quinn as well. I have not and will not call for Coughlin to be fired after this loss. However, I have said that if the team has another dismal finish I think he should be fair game for that discussion at the end of the season. I would have no problem with Coughlin staying, but only if Fewell and Quinn are gone.

And Hufnagel
I believe Bob Gibson was fired the day after "The Fumble".
