You really have to respect the foundation Gettleman is

building. That was a thread I read a few weeks ago. The vast majority of the roster is his guys. I'm willing to give him another year after this one because he was put in a shitty cap position and Daniel Jones looks good. However, my point here is that the preseason optimism threads were garbage and embarrassing.

The defense is worse than this offense but at least they're young and inexperienced. A trained monkey would have run Saquon more than he has. The guy is a fucking moron I never want to see coaching my team again. An absolute embarrassment.

The offense is moving the ball. Line is good. Receivers surprisingly capable. Playcalling atrocious. Defense embarrassing for sure. Not ready to call for DGs head. Close for Shurmur though. Doesnt help that he looks like his wife just left him cuz he relapsed and fucked the babysitter.
The optimism was definitely way too high

Diver_Down : 9/8/2019 6:42 pm : link
The draft and FA catered to him. We traded up in the first round for Baker and he looks like he has never played the position before. While there should be a learning curve for rookies, they shouldn't look lost. Golden is on a prove it deal and knows Bettcher's system. So far he has proven that he sucks. Bethea was supposed to be able to get the youngsters lined up with the correct calls. He knows Bettcher's system, but he is the one that looks lost.
Giants may still suck

Thanks for calling out the sycophants. We're another year away from being an actual team, whether THAT team is good or bad is unknown. Eli is done. He's been done for a few years now. We need to trade Rabbit for a 5th. And just scout appropriately for what is likely going to be another top ten pick.

And we'll have cap space. The future is bright. The problem was a lot of people on BBI thought we were there already. We just dropped a ton of resources this year to open up a run for next year. That's just the monetary facts.

This is just game 1. While this game is an embarrassment i think most of us rational fans expected a non-playoff team. So just want to see them get better.

But you are right -- this moronic coach didn't learn from last year. There were games he went away from Barkley too much. And how often is he going to roll out ELi for a team as quick as Dallas?

You are going to hate me for this-- but I'd like to ask you and others a question. Who hired this coach?

Waaaaaaaaaaay too early for this shit  
fkap : 9/8/2019 6:51 pm : link
Yeah, they look way worse than many expected, but it's too soon to label this a season long trend.

Have to see how the draftees develop, but Gettleman's FA pickups have been blah, or worse. Last year was a waste of time with his half measures.

So far I'm not impressed with the organization - management or coaching.

Yes, it is a little too early. But if THIS is too early, then the f***ing middle of the preseason was even way too earlier. That's my point. We turned into a bunch of Redskins fans this preseason.

fkap : 9/8/2019 7:02 pm : link
and others, I didn't see much sign of irrational exuberance. Most acknowledge the lack of a pass rusher. W-L predictions trended to a losing season. I've mostly seen realism. There was hope that we would get better as the youngsters were hardened by fire.

nope but he built this defense...with his hog mollies up front with no secondary and linebacking core or edge rushers...
Agree with the OP  
Marty866b : 9/8/2019 7:32 pm : link
I keep reading here how great of a job Gettleman has done and how is so adept at drafting. Because his draft picks play do not make them good players. Except for Barkley and Hill, I'd say the jury is out on EVERYONE else he has selected. His free agent signings have been a disaster. This roster is now Gettlemans. Anyone here really like it. I don't.

This basically. You have a young team like this one, you're going to eat some losses. The idea is player development.

SleepyOwl : 9/8/2019 7:55 pm : link
Connelly made a play I haven’t seen from one of our inside backers since Antonio Pierce indeed our run defense was pretty solid overall... Tomlinson, Hill and Lawrence are a formidable interior. Got the feeling Daniel would have led us to a score if not for the fumble. Evan Engram will make the pro bowl. Everything else was/is a train wreck.

Not going to defend DG or criticize him (yet)  
justafan : 9/8/2019 8:03 pm : link
As you said, he needs more time given the impossible position he was put in. The team was swiss cheese when he took over. With that said. Those guys in the secondary, they have legs and speed. It's not DG blowing coverage out there. Give them time though. The secondary will improve. I fear the pass rush won't though.
yeah

They are 8-25 for a reason, and the Cowboys are good. Optimism is the right of fan hood, we do it very year, And fickleness is a characteristic of most fans as proven on the game thread and this.

Giants are a better team than last year, and at 3-1 or even 2-2, you ll all be jumping back on the ole bandwagon

75% of the Defense just played their first NFL game against Elliot, Cooper, Cobb, The Dallas OL and oh yeah, Jason Freakin Witten! What did you all expect?! Yes, they looked awful. I knew they would though. It’s going to take time for them to get their feet under them. God, it’s embarrassing sometimes to see how quickly the majority of our fan base quit on the team. Go be Eagles fans then! The Skins looked pretty good today, go cheer them on. If not, then why don’t you show some damn support! Ugh...

And before someone twists this up, I’m not saying we looked good today. I’m saying there is a whole lot of football left and there are reasons we looked awful.

Daniel in MI : 9/8/2019 10:24 pm : link
over-reaction to one, opening day ugly loss.

Gettleman took over a roster that sucked in a lot of places. It was very telling when they put up the 2016 draft classes and there are only 2 on the roster for NYG (one of which is the impactful Perkins) and the Cowboys had like 6 guys most of whom were impact players. Good drafting is the core to building a team. Every time you draft right, you lock down a position so you can focus elsewhere. Every time you miss, you leave holes you have to keep trying to fill.

Gettleman didn't have the cap room or enough picks to rebuild everything at once. We have improved the line. The secondary was beat up badly today, but if you have a rookie CB and ZERO pass rush, that'll happen against a pretty damn good Dallas team.

We got the QB of the future (hopefully), and CBs, so next year we have to find more pass rush and LBs. I don't see a lot of FA high quality pass rushers we could afford out there one the market. Vernon had trouble staying healthy, and cost too much to keep around (not like we won with him). We took a few stabs at upgrading with some FAs and draft. But, we still have a lot of needs:
- Pass Rush
- Impact LBs
- Deep threat WR
- Right tackle (Remmers seems iffy to me, likely stop gap)

I think we're going to see the D struggle a lot this year. No matter how good the cover guys are, if the QB has a clean pocket and lots of time, someone will be open. Even when we blitzed today, we didn't get near Dak. The CBs have a lot of speed at WR, and talent at OL, RB, TE, WR, and a decent QB (esp if given all day and wide open guys). I think we'll see the O improve but still struggle at times due to a lack of a deep threat to take the top off and an immobile QB, but we have more pieces on O than on D at this point. We're not at the level of Dallas yet, and especially on opening day.

This team might still be building a core and headed the right direction. One opening day loss, on the road to a playoff team doesn't tell us if we are on the road, just that we're not there yet.

I am not a Shumer fan but he has my sympathies. you can't expect an OC to scheme receivers open every play. These guys have to create some of their own space and beat their man on occasion. These guys don't beat anybody. The worst group of wideouts in football.
