We need a hero.

Thegratefulhead : 9/16/2021 1:46 pm
Who is it?

Who on this team is going to make a stop on 3rd or 4th down that makes a difference?

Who creates the game changing turnover?

Who makes the perfect pass in a winning effort?

Who breaks tackles that makes a first down we absolutely have to have?

I know we talk about coaching and coordinators, I keep watching games and in every high leverage spot I am always left disappointed.

Before you attack "always" know that I mean nearly always.

I thought of the movie where the two field hands say, "they're still shitty". Major League, I think it was.

Yeah, agreed. When I watched that video of Jacobs of Bradshaw reminiscing last week, I was left with the overall impression that our team is missing its heart. I know that is terrible indictment of professional athletes.

What else is there to say?

Shut me up, make a fucking play that matters when we need it.

to be that type of clutch playmaker. You need that player(s) and many of them to win an NFL Championship.

How many do NYG truly have right now? It's a huge question to be answered in 2021.

Man, hard to believe that was 14 years (seasons) ago. My triplets had just been born in August, I actually covered a day of training camp that year for the radio stations I worked for in Vermont. I even got a few questions in for Coach Coughlin, Eli and Brandon Jacobs-who I had interviewed on my sports show back in the spring before prior to camp. I stood next to David Diehl, still not believing how incredibly large that dude was.

Man, I just want to be proud to be a fan again. The butt of the football world jokes are not the most fun place to be..

Logan Ryan? Maybe coaching comes into it. When championship players talk about coaches like Parcells and Belichick, you get the impression they would have killed someone for them.

Legit, If Parcells asked LT to kill somebody, it gets done.
Teddy Bruschi would have opened up his own chest and handed his heart to Bill.

Did that happen only after the winning or do those coaches create an environment where players sacrifice themselves for the team?

Or is it something that is inherently in them?

I don't know.

It feels like groundhog season here.
Hero?

I don’t consider football players to be hero’s. Not by a long shot.
I hope someone answers the call

Because I don't want to live in a world without heroes.

Lighten up Frances. Change the word of "hero" to "player that makes plays when we really need it"

I know you get that.

Just ask Ray Lewis!
you guys are so cynical

and I totally get it. but i'm holding out hope that Kenny Golladay finds a groove and has a big night, leading to some optimism about the season.

I have not given up yet. Week 5 in Dallas is my game. If we have not shown something by the end of that game, our season is over. A loss here is bad, really bad. Only 12% of team recover from 0-2.
If coaches keep.playing scared....it won't matter

Appreciate it, needed a laugh today.

Is it really giving up when you expect the team to suck major wang every single season? You expect them to be average at best and then they're laughably bad.

I am on a lark on BBI.

Fire everyone…even the great Graham is sucking again with these calls….two weeks in a row.

The only play we have down near the end zone is Jones draw play. Golladay, Rudolph, Toney…apparently all useless.
