When does the McAdoo watch start

blueblood'11 : 9/12/2017 7:16 am
This may be a bit premature but this team is built to win now and while everyone rales against the offensive line one has to wonder is it the coaching. There two number ones and a two on that line. And for the most part were highly thought of coming out of college. Flowers not as highly thought of as Pugh and Richburg.

The offense has been an abject failure for some time now while if not for the defense lord knows what the record would be. Eli is on the last half of the back nine of his career. The defense is in place and McAdoo has shown an inability to produce anything on offense. How does ownership watch this mess and feel good about the head coach.

I think in his press conference when he was interviewed after being hired his suit was too big for him because he had lost weight and it was quite the scene and people kidded him about it. Maybe it was an omen that not only the suit was too big but a sign that the job was too big for him also.
"This may be premature"

You think?

Christ, this board is insufferable. People wanted Coughlin fired in 2006 too, how'd that turn out? For McAdoo, bring in a new coach week 3, what could go wrong?
He lost a road game without his star  
hitdog42 : 9/12/2017 7:23 am : link
That he was supposed to lose even if his star played.... hot seat!!!!!!

Come on man!
Let's see  
Rjanyg : 9/12/2017 7:25 am : link
McAdoo went 11-5 and to the playoffs his first season and lost his first game on the road without his best player.

Yeah let's first his ass immediately.

If not for the defense and Spags running it that team last year would not be 11 and 5. The offense last year was bad and if you think things would have been any better with Beckham on the field somehow I don't think so. How good was the offense last year and he played the whole year. How many games is it now they scored fewer then twenty points. McAdoo has been roundly criticized everywhere for this offense and rightfully.

There are a lot of big blue fans who hate this WCO bullshit offense that can't get anything done. And I'm one of them. It doesn't play Eli's strengths and Carl Banks said as much it was hard to figure out what the game plan was. That would be someone who knows what thenes talking about,
Helluva way to lose all credibility as a thread starter..

So if you don't agree with the style that means he should be fired? It's not blue colored glasses, it's logic. would Carl Banks fire McAdoo just for disagreeing with how he coaches?

I hope your bosses don't disagree with your work, would hate to see you guys get fired over it.

Jerz44 : 9/12/2017 8:04 am : link
I think it's very fair to be asking yourself now is McAdoo a legitimate head coach.

Let's face it- despite winning 11 games, this team looked like garbage for most of last season. If the D hadn't played exceptionally well this was a 2-4 win team. McAdoo is supposedly an offensive genius but the offense is worse than during the Danny Kannell years.

Personally, I'd wager this team misses the playoffs, looks bad doing so, and McAdoo is gone at the end of the year. Hope I'm wrong
There is no MacAdoo watch  
joeinpa : 9/12/2017 8:07 am : link
But I will state, with all the optimism heading into this season, it s stunning how quickly this season is in jeopardy if the Giants lose Monday.

The utter ineptitude of the offense Sunday was too reminiscent of the pathetic defense of two years ago that gave the Giants little chance to be a contender
Jerz44  
blueblood'11 : 9/12/2017 8:09 am : link
Thanks for the support. Crazy at it may sound I do t want to see him fired either I want him to succeed but this offense is so bad it's gotten to the point where it is indefensible. With all the speed they have on offense it should be a track meet out there. Not this insufferable slog we have to watch week in and week out. And that's on McAdoo no one else.

What do you want this org. to be the Cleveland browns, because that's what you get when you constantly change the coaches. That and oh yeah, 11-5!
They looked bad Sunday

The Cleveland Browns. But let's be real here. What has anyone one seen recently that gives them any hope for this offense. It's gone from bad to worse and until McAdoo does something to make a course correction this is what your going to have.
They've looked bad for 18 games in a row.  
Jerz44 : 9/12/2017 8:15 am : link
They looked bad in almost game last year.

Here's what everyone sees  
blueblood'11 : 9/12/2017 8:19 am : link
Skill players up and down the offense teams like the Jets would salivate to have. Yet McAdoo and cannot for some reason parley that into a reasonable facsimile of a somewhat competitive offense.

I'm not offended I'm perplexed. You ignore 11-5 but say they were garbage, so which is it? Defense and Special teams were great, the offense wasn't, but you are cool just getting rid of a coach because things aren't running well on all phases of the game?

Take a long look across the league at teams that get rid of coaches frequently and let me know how often hear teams see success in this league. Getting a new coach doesn't guarantee anything and often times makes the problems worse.
You can coach well and lose and win despite bad coaching.  
Jerz44 : 9/12/2017 8:24 am : link
McAdoo has been a head coach for 18 games that count. Of those, how many would you say the Giants played a complete game where all facets were working? By my count, 1-2 maybe. I don't have the schedule in front of me but I think Cleveland was a game they looked

I hear you and it is perplexing that two thirds of the team has played well. McAdoo was brought in under the the guise he would have a competent offense. That hasn't happened since he's taken over. The offense does not put fear in anyone who plays them.

The way this league is constituted anymore you can't put it all on your defense. It's not like in days gone by where they would say defenses win championships. The league won't let that happen. You need a little help from the offense as well. But when your offense can't even get a first down how the hell are they even going to put in the end zone. That's the state of this wonderful offense McAdoo has designed.

could it be the offense looked a lot worse because no beckham?

also go look around the league offense was absolutely terrible aroind the league...

offense always start the season slower than defenses

Beckham could have zero catches

That's not the point. They won 11 games last year in spite of an inept offense and this first game was just a continuation of what we saw last year but only worse. Now if they had shown any fight and lost a hard fought game I don't think anyone would be reacting this way. You cannot be encouraged after what we saw Sunday night.

blueblood'11 : 9/12/2017 8:48 am : link
They had thee fucking points against a so so defense. Two first downs in the first half alone. I don't care if Beckham wasn't on the field. There were still eleven players on the field. So the offense goes completely into the shitter because Beckham isn't on the field. That's a sad indictment for this offense if that's what it takes too be remotely competitive.

I've seen a lot of Giant football teams over the years with a lot less talent on offense do great things because the had a plan in place and because of excellent coaching. McAdoo needs to course correct and fast because if you look at the defenses this offense has waiting for them down the road it ain't gonna get any easier.
The watch started the day he  
section125 : 9/12/2017 8:49 am : link
was hired, BTW.

Now as for Eli not being a fit for the offense - no shit - he looked like he never played a game in his life Monday night(hyperbole on purpose). It is like he refuses to adapt to the system. I'm sure I'm wrong, but he wasn't taking what the defense was giving him. Yes the line sometimes didn't give him 4+ seconds, but I think the WCO is supposed to be quick plays to not allow the defense to react.

How about letting the next game happen before the coach is

Yeah it hurts that Beckham wasn't on the field but to the level in which they played had nothing to do with whether he was on the field or not. We saw it last year at times where you had to wonder if he was even on the field because the ball wasn't thrown in his direction.

McAdoo has not shown the ability to this point he can out scheme the opposition. He has become to this point the offensive version of Perry Fewel. He has his so called plan and sticks to it come he'll or high water.

why do you keep ignoring the question? would other teams struggle if you took away their best skilled. player?

I'd rather they stick with him too long rather than cut bait early. If he continues to produce a nice record in the next couple years you keep him.

Head coaches are tied to their QB. He didn't pick Eli.

I think Eli has some productive years left, but just not on this team. He needs a credible running threat and a middle of the road pass protect. Put him on the Texans or Broncos and it's safe to say they're a nice superbowl pick.

The Giants are trying to run the Packers offense. Let's say you had Aaron Rodgers starting against the Cowboys on Sunday. I think it's safe to assume if the Cowboys played him like they did Eli he would've ripped off a couple 8-12 yard scrambles against a 4 man rush and the secondary keeping everything in front of him. They'd be forced to adjust their defense, opening up the deep passing lanes.

Defenses give zero respect to Eli making plays with his legs. It's magnified by poor oline pass blocking.

This is a legitimate question and I agree. Offense is supposed to be his bread and butter and I fully expected them to compete. The offense was putrid Sunday night, Beckham or no Beckham. McAdoo's whole demeanor and body language has a lot to do with this as well as his game plan. I'm not sold on him. I watched a Vikings offense with five new offensive lineman and it made me question it even more. I could go on but don't be calling people trolls or idiots for questioning McAdoo's coaching ability.

No, you call them that for suggesting the Giants will can the guy just after an 11-5 season.

Mac's not going anywhere after this season, neither is Reese. Will Mara step in and shake things up? I don't doubt it, if the results are bad enough, but they value continuity (as well they should) too much to be that knee jerk.

11-5 is 11-5, regardless of which unit is most responsible. Sure the defense carried the load last year, but that is also where management allocated most of its cap resources. Welcome to today's NFL - how many teams are good on both sides of the ball? That said, there are a number of new pieces on offense, and it will need time to gel.

I watched the OL of the Vikings and they moved like a text book. I watched the Giant's OL and saw guys blowing past them.


Give me a break with the Ray Handley comparisons. Handley took over a SB champion, and immediately drove it into the ground. McAdoo took over a team that had won 6 games each of the previous 2 seasons, and won 11 games. Maybe he's not the right guy to coach this team, but in no way is Ray Fucking Handley a valid comp.

Ray Handley had a winning record in his first season?

Was there another Ray Handley who coached the Giants?

You missed the point. I'm not comparing him to Ray Handley, I'm saying the Giants will make changes if necessary, even after two seasons if they think the pulse of the team is heading south. And by the way, do you think Coughlin wouldn't have won 11 games with that defense last season?

Handley was 8-8 in 1991. I didn't say he had a winning record, did someone else mention it?
Only if it's the QB should the excuse be made

how many offenses would look awful if you took their best player off the field?

We have enough capable receivers the RB's are average but capable if there is room to run . I said it pre-game this is the perfect moment to see if the offense has improved and the play book opened up . We got our answer and its the same plan as last year for opposing Defenses and the Cowboys added a few wrinkles with zone coverage we not only got outplayed but out coached as well .
The O-line needs to dig deep and there may be a quick hook early on if we see more of the same .
Mac is not going anywhere this season but anything short of the playoffs with this defense will not bode well .

You did - with the implication that somehow Handley's situation - almost 30 years ago with a team that had just won a Super Bowl and a once in a lifetime defensive player - is comparable to McAdoo coming off an 11-5 rookie season.

TC probably would have, but that's not the point. He wasn't the HC. The Giants have historically been cautious to a fault in firing HC's, barring a complete meltdown, they are not likely to send McAdoo packing.

That's not what I meant at all.
Yes but the Mac improvement isn't an apples to apples thing  
PatersonPlank : 9/12/2017 10:39 am : link
He got a $200M spending spree on the defense. Its not like he took the same exact team and improved the record. I do think, at least so far, there is a comparison here between him and H****ey to be made.
I think Ben needs to..  
GiAnT4LYFE : 9/12/2017 10:40 am : link
Pass the playcalling duties off to Sullivan soon. Our offense looked really good (with a same shitty oline) when he was the coordinator under TC. Last year the offense never looked in sync. It seems as though is feel for the flow of the game calling plays has been lost some as the HC. Pass them off to the guy you hired to run that part of the team.

To add to it, the only time the offense looked semi-decent in a while was the 3rd preseason game, which they said that Ben and Sullivan split the play calling. I'm not sure who was calling what, but where there is smoke there is fire.

Ben needs to hand the reigns over for play calling duties and manage the whole team. I have a lot of faith in him as a coach, and I'm sure he would be even more effective if he did that.

Well the Pats won a SB w out Gronk who is as big a mismatch when healthy as OBJ is

McAdoo is a shitty OC and his offense sucks. No questions about it. No tuning game for 4 years. Reese is one of the best GMs. So can't slam him. McAdoo won 11 games w a shitty O. Can't complain.

I get it. Any critique at of if those two and the estrogen levels of some here spike. Big.
Look around the league  
Giantfan in skinland : 9/12/2017 11:26 am : link
Chicago doesn't have a player of even Sterling Shepard's caliber to lose. Still played competent offense.

Jacksonville lost Allen Robinson and starts Blake Bortles. Still scored some points/moved the ball.

THE JETS HAVE TRADED AWAY EVERY PLAYER THEY COULD FIND. THEN THEY TRADED THEIR BROTHERS TOO. Still scored some points/moved the ball.

Buffalo has Shady McCoy and not much else. Still scored point/moved the ball.

I understand not being all that effective if OBJ goes down. However, there is more than enough talent left in the tank even without him that there is no excuse for not being able to scrape together a few first downs (let alone TDs/FGs).

when you put up an 11 win season in your first yearas head coach you get some automatic cred. What I believe will happen and probably needs to happen is to get him an OC. He needs to give up the play call duties.
He wont survive  
area junc : 9/12/2017 11:48 am : link
another season of inept offense. He has to do better, but I dont think he can. His pffense has been sh#t his entire time here aside from OBJ. Sh#t. I realize we were ranked high in categories at times but theyre just stats. In reality his offense has stunk the whole time.
Ben will get more time than Jim fassel did

I think he gets a pass due to the Davis trade unraveling.
