Ben McAdoo says offensive predictability is a 'non-issue'

He will a players injury status into some kind of state secret but wouldn't lose a minute of sleep if they were projecting his called plays on the score board.

We can't move on soon enough.

If McAdoo is out after this season there are several big name players that should be out with him.

Holy moly, man... it's getting downright weird at this point. You literally don't let a single opportunity go by to mention or bash this guy.

Every thread that involves him, you're there. Even when it doesn't, you still find a way to incorporate him.

Your football posts would actually be worth reading if you could focus on something else once in a while.. you're like a caricature at this point.

Also, this was a "thing" long before Beckham said anything.

This was a huge, huge topic of discussion last year with the 11 personnel discussions. Did you miss all of that somehow?

It's okay to acknowledge that some of this may actually be someone else's fault or that this coach might actually not be doing a good job right now.

He seems completely unable to acknowledge where he's failing or coming up short and I have a feeling it's going to wind up being his downfall.

And if not for that "asshole WR," he'd probably already be out of a job.

the TB CB that told OBJ: We know your plays.

He was ahead of the curve with Shockey, Plax & now Beckham- all have similar me first personalities.

He was also ahead of the curve on JPP/Vernon.

So that means he has to share the same opinion 50 times every single day?

Is there anyone on BBI who doesn't know his stance on Odell at this point? I doubt it. But he still feels the need to re-hash it.

Every. Single. Day.

And guys like JPP and Beckham have actually helped this team win games before. What has mcadoo brought?

Let's blame the best player on the team! Toxic!

When do we blame the coach? When is it right?

Beckham will be making plays for the next 5 years if healthy. Mcadoo will be a TE or QB coach by then.

And millions crowd to see it anyway

Non-issue

Defensive, immature response by Mac

Should have just said “we examine everything. Just like we do every week.” In other words typical coach speak

for good scouting an gamesmanship? Or, are we just running a clinic here for the opposing coaches.

Somebody has to keep saying it, because there are a boatload of people on this board that are too stupid to see it.

Yeah you're right... JPP has been a great Giant these last few years.

We have some dumb shit fans.

Too stupid to see what?

That Beckham is a diva?

Who cares. There's not a single thing to suggest that he's an actual problem in the locker room. His teammates defend him and stand with him time and time again despite these insinuations you keep trying to make that he's some sort of team cancer.

Plaxico Burress has a Super Bowl ring and so does Jeremy Shockey. Neither guys were bystanders, either. Both caught game winning TD passes. So, spare me the bullshit that "diva" players can't win in this league.

Beckham isn't the guy holding this team back right now. But somehow, this HC who sounds more clueless by the week is blameless?

He might as well just fax a copy of our game plan to the opposing team the week of the game at this point since he doesn't seem to care whether they know what we're running or not.

If he knew what we were running and still played like that, he didn't being in the league.

Nowhere did I say McAdoo was blameless. I don't think he's doing a great job this year.

But he isn't getting any help from the players. And to hear Beckham rip the play calling a few days after he couldn't be bothered to throw a block on a screen pass...

How you could stick up for him anymore is mystifying. Yeah he's a diva, but it's worse than that. Toxic.

defending McAdoo here, but this predictable offense took the lead on the road the past 2 weeks in a row. If teams knew the exact play call, that wouldn't happen, and especially not at that critical time. McAdoo isn't the most creative offensive mind around based on all the limitations on the team, but it's not like every team has his playbook. Bottom line, at the end, this isn't much different than last year when they found ways to beat teams like Dallas, Chicago, Cincy, and the Rams late. Last year McAdoo relied on his defense to win games, and they did. Thus far the defense hasn't done the job and they blew 2 games which they found a way to win in 2016. What is really annoying, I can't even think of the last time the Giants played a "complete" game, with the offense, defense and special teams blowing a team out. It didn't happen last year even going 11-5. Probably not since they blew out the Titans in 2014. When you are a team who never takes a game by the throat and with little margin of error, this crap happens.

Nice post as always Matt.

in the regular season was the win in Pittsburgh in 2008. I'm completely certain there have been great performances since, but I don't think they've played five better games since that one.

The word gamesmanship doesn’t mean what McAdoo seems to think it means. It’s a noun, defined, “the art of winning games by using various ploys and tactics to gain a psychological advantage.”

As an example, “In an effort to sow doubt about his obviously facile game plan, Belichick employed a little gamesmanship telling McAdoo during warmups that he recorded practice on video tape all week.”

I seriously hope Reese is let go or re-assigned and the new GM hires a new HC and entire coaching staff.

I agree 100%! Getting rid of Reese will be the start of correcting the mistakes we see each week. The coaching staff hired by Reese is a disaster!
As for the theme of this thread, I wish that McAdoo was a non-issue with this franchise!

Now we're onto "toxic".. good stuff.

I blame him when he deserves to be blamed. We simply disagree on fault level. You seem to think the entire failure of the team right now lays on the shoulders of this one player, I think it goes way beyond that. This coach sounds like he's in over his head right now and a lot of the Giants' current issues are the types of things that happen with poorly coached teams.

I'd like Beckham to just shut up and play football but I'm willing to put up with the personalty if we keep getting the production.

I don't defend him all the time. When he takes dumb penalties, I say he needs to be smarter. When he says stupid things, I say he needs to grow up. But I care more about the guy who keeps scoring TD's and making plays for this offense because we desperately need it.

The times he's been out of the lineup or seriously limited, this offense has been downright pathetic. It's not a coincidence.

His defensive stance and his predictable answers are much like his offense uninspiring ...
