Anyone Feeling Relieved?

not 2015.

I thought these moves were necessary, but the last month or two has me very concerned that we're headed for a prolonged period of dysfunction similar to what the 49ers just went through (and only now MAY be climbing out of).

Tomlinson and Engram.

We have some pieces. not a lot, but a few. It will take a few years to wash away our mistakes on the OL and DL and to get some LBs (finally). Of course by then we will also need 3 new CBs. But this is all doable in today's world.

I'm hopeful about having Webb PLUS one other QB prospect on the roster. Hopefully one of them turns out to be our next franchise QB. If we don't draft a QB I'm afraid we'll be drafting in the 15-20 range next year (too many wins!) and will be screwed. I'd much rather bite the bullet and have 2 sucky years in a row.

Sometimes this place in unbelievable. gidiefor asks us if we are relieved. I gave an honest answer and you have the need to question what I'm feeling.

Why the hell do you even care what I feel or the need to comment on it.

But if you are so interested, I was referring to the dismissal of Reese and MacAdoo when I said he would not disappoint, but do the correct thing.

Maybe you haven't been paying attention but there were many here who spoke with certainty that Mara would bring them both back.

As to my feelings of empathy, real people lost real jobs, well paid or not.

I choose to keep things in perspective.

I just don't get it, what I feel isn't right or wrong, it just is.

Sometimes it takes a lot of energy to visit this site, too many take it personally if someone expresses an opinion or in this case a feeling they don't agree with.

Sorry, I feel badly for them.

more so, getting right pieces in there, gm, hc, personnel dept, scouts etc, and players that are a fit

that Reese and McAdoo are gone. But apprehensive of who will be GM and HC going forward. Glad Accorsi is on board to assist with GM search. Where ever we pick in the draft, 2nd thru 5th, take comfort that jerry Reese will not be making the pick, or allowing other teams to leapfrog us for the guy(s) we want. It's a good day.

You can criticize a lot about Reese, but picking in the first round is not one of them. There are a lot of GMs in this league who can't get even that right. Nobody has a perfect record, but he's done very well with his first rounders.

I don't like having to hate this franchise.

When we go outside the Org for GM and HC

I was a Reese supporter but it was time for a change. I am convinced that if he remained he would have passed on one of these top QB's solely because he used a 3rd round pick on Webb last year. We all know that Reese is patient to a fault with his draft picks. We also know that Reese doesn't trade down so he would not have gotten the value of the #2 or #3 overall pick and chosen Barkley or Chubb rather than accumulating multiple picks or taking their next franchise QB.

but I'm starting to wish we'd done it after the season. What's the benefit to doing it now? To appease the fans in the stadium? I guess they can end the season as a "possible" farewell to Eli tour.

We just went through some pain with the Eli benching and now we're facing a real possibility of reliving it again. That really sucks. I'd have rather we gone through the year with BM and JR being the bad guys, then let the new bosses make their own call at QB.

sure how relieved we'll be if Spagnuolo remains the head coach and Abrams the GM.

This. and Marc Ross.

We've now learned that personnel decisions will no longer be dictated by adults and professionals, but by screaming lunatics buying billboards. Mara's explanation about firing McAdoo (with Francesa) was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

Someone said it on another thread... we're the University of Tennessee of the NFL.

Now worried about who they hire as GM and HC

I'll be pissed if they stick with Abrams and Spags.

Drain the swamp!

screaming lunatics?

As in 25 former Giant greats publicly announcing they intended to stand on the Giants sideline wearing Manning jerseys? Are they the lunatics you are talking about?

Or are you talking about Tom Brady and other current players and coaches throughout the NFL expressing outrage at the way Manning was treated? Maybe they are the lunatics you are talking about?

.......I think that answer's that!

let's see who he replacements are.

Two years ago, FO was convinced McAdoo was the answer. Now, in less than 2 years it would appear they were wrong. Now they get to pick again.
