Can’t blame McAdoo anymore-

Sean : 9/16/2018 9:59 pm
I’m watching the same crap I watched last year. Crappy OL with an unathletic QB.

Fans thought McAdoo was harsh, disrespectful to Eli. One thing I will say though, McAdoo wasn’t paralyzed by the past.

-Wanted to trade for Mahomes
-Wanted to see what we had behind Eli in a lost season
-Held Eli accountable

No one loves Eli more than me for what he’s done for this franchise, but 2011 was a long time ago.

When McAdoo wanted to look forward, the mob mentality of the fans stopped it & I fully think Mara reacted to those fans & here we are.

Ownership and the front office have ruined the end of Eli's career through complete incompetence. Incompetence for years, and incompetence again this offseason. They were faced with a series of crucial decisions:

- GM hiring
- Head coach hiring
- Possible out in Eli's contract
- Whether to sign Beckham
- #2 pick

Each of the choices made in those five critical decisions was wrong.
McAdoo was a disaster in all phases.

Quit trying to insinuate his relationship with Eli was the sole reason he was fired.
Davis Webb

This team is paralyzed by the past.
Mcadoo sucked

...so does the ol.
It's too early in the season to give up on the team and Shurmur.  
81_Great_Dane : 9/16/2018 10:19 pm : link
But if things still look like this in 4 weeks...

(I'm patient with a new coach putting in a new offense. And he's supposed to be a QB guru.)
Reeves screwed us with this offensive line.

Eli's needs to share in the blame as well. Not all on him by any stretch of the imagination, but as the cornerstone of this franchise he hasn't elevated the play of this team. Love him dearly but watching him play is a hard watch. This team is hard to watch!
Eli is a big part of the problem  
The_Boss : 9/16/2018 10:25 pm : link
I know it sucks to hear. Yes he’s getting rocked, but he’s not seeing open guys. Papa and Banks are saying all night if he looked off Beckham, other guys are open. It’s the same shit as last year. I don’t know what DG and Shurmer saw watching all of Eli’s games last year to determine going “all in” on Eli was the strategy. He looks cooked. Until he gets upgraded, this team is going absolutely nowhere. It’s apparent through 2 games, those of us calling for imminent doom for the season will be proven correct, sadly.

The GM hiring was because all of those decisions were already made by the Owners before he was hired and they want a figurehead who knows how things work in their organization willing to take the heat. Do you think anyone else in the NFL was hiring Gettleman? Or drafting a RB #2 with a 37 year old QB.

McAdoo sucked. So did Reese who's pathic drafting out the Giants where they are. Eli may need to be replaced but anyone who thinks McAdoo wasn't a huge issue is a moron

Bingo. Gettleman was out of football for two years for a reason. He’s a relic building a team based on a 1980s philosophy. Taking a running back with he number 2 pick when you have no oline and qb whose done, I mean this is 30 for 30 quality material. Now all the maras can do is hope Darnold ends up being a bust. But so far I’ve seen a qb with all the tools who looks like he ll develop into a very good qb at least.
Two games into the season  
Beer Man : 9/16/2018 10:43 pm : link
and the holes on this team are glaring
1. OL sucks
2. No pass rush of any kind
3. SS and CBs

All have killed the team tonight

Never said that McAdoo didn't suck. I just think he was right about Eli. The guy is done. How management didn't see this is scary.
The point is..  
Sean : 9/16/2018 10:48 pm : link
McAdoo TRIED to move on from Eli, and the backlash was fucking embarrassing.
This all goes back to 2013  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 9/16/2018 10:50 pm : link
that is where they should've started rebuilding, but Mara had visions of being the first host team to play in the Super Bowl. Hence we got the countdown clock, etc.

Cycle of bad football since.
Why can’t I blame McAdoo?  
Jim in Fairfax : 9/16/2018 11:05 pm : link
I’m still blaming Handley.
McAdoo was right about everything  
elgoman : 9/16/2018 11:20 pm : link
Trade for Geno Smith and start him.

McAdoo benched Webb and never played him. McAdoo never openly endorsed Webb, ever. McAdoo endorsed Geno.
McAdoo, Reese and Ross tonight:  
SHO'NUFF : 9/16/2018 11:21 pm : link
He is probably still under contract, they  
St. Jimmy : 9/17/2018 12:05 am : link

Which two years was Gettleman out of football?
