I'll take you up on that bet. What's the wager? I go over you go under 7.5.
If it's over I'll leave the site for good. No more horrible bitching from Go Terps.
If it's under, BBI organizes a petition for posters to sign that implores John Mara to back away from football operations and hire an actual expert to take over. It will never happen, but at least he'll hear the sentiment.

You guys gonna shake on this and make it a proper wager?
Is key can he be injury free if not who plays QB we just discovered what happens when one of your top two players goes down without a real backup. It’s a young team if they admit they are not close if they still have foolish hopes and dreams and overspend for mediocre talent in FA we could 4-6 games but once again surly gain no identity. Can somebody please tell me what’s this teams identity?
I don’t expect anything different than in the past four years this one surprisingly surprised me in that many fans felt they deserved to appear in the playoffs the saints preserve us why I don’t know? The most games this team has won in a four year period is six against trash teams but some believe they can win 8 games.

That would result in about 10-15 of your regular fan club with nothing left to post about if you were gone...
question year in and year out? I expect us to suck slightly less but still be a ways away from where we should be. The saddest part is I see Garrett being scapegoated to save DG and Danny Jones because Mara doesn’t have the stones to make significant changes. Another half measure as the rest of the league passes us by.
A really tough schedule and unless Jones can produce more touchdowns than turnovers this year and Barkley can stay healthy the entire year, the Giants could ease into the top 5 again.
I put up a post earlier about the draft picks since 2015 and it's not an impressive record- could be worse, but surely could be better.
Just food for thought-
2018- Saquon Barkley-
1st round: Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen
Later rounds: Nick Chubb, Michael Gallup, Josh Allen, Denzel Ward
2016- Elli Apple-
1st round: Vernon Hargreaves, Taylor Decker, Artie Burns, Dac Prescott, Keanu Neal
Later rounds: Jaylon Smith, Myles Jack, Derrick Henry, Tyreek Hill,
2015- #9 Ereck Flowers-
1st round: Todd Gurly, Bud Dupree, Thomas Rawls, Stefan Diggs, Chad Johnson, Donavan Smith, Stephone Anthony, David Johnson, Eric Kendricks, Marcus Peters, Ronald Darby, Tyler Lockett, Karlos Williams, Jeremy Langford
2014-#12- Odell Beckham-
1st round: Aaron Donald, Ryan Shazier, Zack Martin, CJ Mosely, HaHa Clinton-Dicks, Demarcus Lawrence, Davante Adams, Carlos Hyde, Jarvis Landry
More then a new GM, a new coach....means a new rebuild.
I understand we have all lived with lousey football for 9 years....but this staff....has only had one year with this team.
The roster has just started to mold into...what the coaches want.
I am very curious to see who goes, who stays and who gets brought in....it will be very telling.
But make no mistake....the Giants are in year 2 of there most current rebuild.
Here we go again with Gettleman getting a pass for completely fucking up in his first two years.
Anything short of 10 wins in 2021 and he must go. Hire a GM who actually understands how to build a winning football team. We've wasted enough time with a scout masquerading as a GM.

How do you know that Mara is "too" involved with OPS now? Or ever was for that matter?
The only thing I can think of where Mara screwed up was his HC decision making back when he wacked Coughlin for McAdoo and hired Shurmur.
Owners hire coaches all the time. Has there been any evidence to support any claims that Mara is making all these bad decisions you speak of?
I have killed Mara before. I think he clearly handled the Coughlin transition as poorly as possible. He couldn't have done a crappier job there from the timing to the actual decision making, but we don't know if Mara has been meddling since and we don't know if Mara meddles outside of the HC / GM hiring process. It's possible, maybe even probably that Mara had influence over the Eli decision in 2018, but other than that? And that's years in the rear view mirror now.
The Giants looked highly dysfunctional 17-18 but even 2019 looked more like a rebuild year along with 2020, which was close to actually looking pretty functional.
I don't know--maybe I am nuts but I don't see the clear visible warning signs the last year or more that we saw 17-18 and even 19. But what do I know.

Agree.
Probably keep Engram for another two years after this one, for whatever reason.
I believe in D. Jones.
I believe that our OL will make a huge leap.
I believe DG will make sound picks; UFA's; and retain DL.
I believe Judge is a solid NFL coach and he is a winner.
I believe the defense will remain in the 10 - 15 range.
I believe our special teams will take a step up as well.
I also believe the Skins and Cowboys will improve while the Eagles are going to rebuild around a new HC and system.
If we stay healthy and get a playmaker at WR, we will win this division at say 10 - 6. See, I'm a fan and will wear rose colored glasses forever.
However, if we draft projects and injuries mount we can be a bottom 10 team again.

I dont "believe" anymore. I make my decisions on facts and reality. So, I can get on board with your Judge and defense comments because they both proved something to me this past season. The rest of what you said remains to be seen.

In the current vacuum, the hope would be a winning record and a playoff spot.
