“We’re still 7-9,” co-owner John Mara told The Star-Ledger when asked if a strong finish changed his opinion on the season. “As an old coach once said, you are what your record says you are, and we’re still 7-9. But yeah, it’s always better to end up winning, and we did end up winning seven of our last 10 games. “But we’re still 7-9.” |
Big off-season for Reese.
Exactly how i see it also...Just like when he pushed him to change with his player interactions.

I think that's to be expected. But I don't get that from the article. The only quote from Mara is, despite the good finish, at the end of the day the record is still 7-9. Changes are obvious. What changes, not so much.
if you miss, you have no depth and you end up overpaying to keep guys or sign guys to fill in and you keep doing this, and dig yourselves deeper into the hole
this is fixable to get back to playoffs in 2014, IF, ownership has the stones to do it
These last two years are more on Reese than TC, 60/40 on Reese ....
The Lions had everything to play for last week.. they didn't lay down like dogs, they just played a crappy game and got beat.
25 million in cap space wasted
three roster spots that could have gone to OL who could actually contribute positively
1. McCants
2. OL they would have signed with the 5 million in extra cap space
3. The G/C they would have drafted instead of Nassib. Because one reason they took Nassib was they already had Baas/Cordle at center and Snee/Boothe/Brewer/Mosely at G. There was roster space for a draft pick at C/G.
Not mention, lots of great advice here on how to run an NFL offense as well as prepare the team in training camp and scouting info for the draft.
I hope he gets that.
Are you happy with missing the playoffs the last 5 out of 6 years?
His answer should be able to tell you his mindset and actions to this off-season.
IMHO, I'm not so sure that's what happens this off-season.
If nothing is done then the answer is "yes, I'm ok with it."
If no, then we'll see a shake up of some sort.
"But we’re still 7-9.”
Want to impress me John? Fire Gilbride, Quinn and the QB coach. Then, bring in Acorsi as a consultant which is essentially putting training wheels on Reese and putting him on notice.
Bill I completely agree. I think this staff is very stubborn. If Mara leaves it to Coughlin then don't look for much change.
That being said, I think this Org is really stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to changes to the coaching staff. What Coordinators can you get as a one year stop gap?
Same with the Front Office...you bring in a new GM and you tell him you can't fire Coughlin...it's a lame duck situation all the way around.
I think everyone over there is aware of the scope of the failure of this year. Parading the Rug around like he's some conquering hero is just odd.

ok then we fire him too. I dont trust Reese anymore.
But you're nuts if you think the Giants would suddenly become so impatient after the first losing season in 10 years to fire the GM. When's the last time they made a sweeping move like that? They don't even like firing coaches. John doesn't and I could be wrong, but I don't think Duke did either.
you can't face top 15 quarterbacks on the schedule every week.
shoot, chalk up another win at home against dallas if cruz doesn't fumble that ball. they 'should' have gotten 3 wins against teams with an opposing 'legitimate franchise' QB
Tc yet...who let's eli get
Killed w oline..
Hires crappie coaches
...tc is going
To run same system
He needs to go...
To play well...make a mvp
Eli into average player..
Bad game planning and choice
Of coaches..and I wonder if all
The players saying they love
Tc will backfire...are they happy
With his coaching and losing or
Afraid of being cut...
Giants had one of the weakest schedules this year…24/32 teams
(See Redzone.org (strength of schedule)
Gilbride needs to go. Period.
On top of that, Reese needs to be put on warning this is it. They shouldn't let him go but his history of taking chances in the draft with picks like Robinson, Nassib, Cooper Taylor, just to name a few in addition to dropping TE's every year because he thinks the system is a plug and play has been a total failure. The reason it works in NE is because their offense is fairly simple. Gilbride's is very difficult. No wonder WR's take years to develop or RB's don't understand blocking schemes.
The Giants need to overhaul the OL, pick up a RB, get a DE/DT and hopefully draft LB's. That's a lot.

Perhaps our offensive co-ordinator and our defensive co-ordinator will each adapt their complex systems to match the abilities of the players who have to execute that system.
I mentioned no names. Both of this season's offensive and defensive co-ordinators were extremely offensive.
If TC is married to this system (many think he is the mastermind behind it, Gilbride had some say but it is mainly TC's system with Gilbride making the calls out of it) than he needs to go.
They did. They started running many more short routes, particularly slants, and when we were using Hillis, we pounded the inside and agreed to settle for 2-3 years per rush as opposed to the virtually guaranteed two yard loss before.
