Dude what is your point? That these scrubs are as good as the cowboys? Are you kidding with this. Easy schedule but their offense regularly puts up 40+ point on the board.

was a mirage. Payton got arrogant and lazy. Giants deserved to win but they came very close to losing and needed the Saints help to do so.

This team is probably going to have double digit losses by Thanksgiving.

I'm not even sure why the Cowboys matter here. They're well-equipped to survive any challenges to the season. And if they don't the Giants are still terrible. We'll laugh at the cowboys while the Giants are 9-27 in their last home games.

All attention needs to shift to evaluating the HC imo. You have to see if he should have the chance to change coordinators, QB etc.

Besides seeing coaching issues I am concerned at his ability to identify talent both in coach and players and establish a team that will eventually win and win big. I have no desire to retain a HC that does not show some character traits of a champion that inspires teams to max out to its potential.

He certainly had a great opportunity right now to show his ability and it’s not just wins and losses.

No it is not clear. So like this team wins 10 in a row Dallas loses 6 in a row and the Giants win the NFC East?

I just love pie in the Skyiers. Here is what is going to happen Dak faces adversity ; overcomes it ; and goes on to win the NFC East and the MVP and some games in the playoffs if not the Super bowl. The giants are again a 6 win team. Does that answer your question about what happens to good teams that face adversity and bottom of the league teams when they face it?
Daniel Jones is 9-23 in his career as a starter.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 10/17/2021 5:07 pm : link
Eli Manning was 9-23 as a starter in the final 32 starts of his NFL career.

The owners have changed general managers, head coaches, and quarterbacks. They jettisoned malcontents like Odell and people who were no longer seen as part of the solution like JPP. There’s been literally no improvement. In some areas, they’ve somehow got worse. This organization needs to be rebuilt from the top down. Can the owners, specifically John Mara, be trusted to hire the right person to run the operation? There’s little hope that the answer is yes.

What a complete and total disaster.

The QB has protection. Players are fast. Receivers are open. The offenses look confident. The defenses get beaten but they look organized. The players are intense.

Why TF don't the Giants look like that? Year after goddam year, it's the same thing. O-line can't protect the QB. D doesn't get a pass rush. Receivers don't scare anyone. D can't get off the field. Return game is underwhelming. They don't even have a top punter, which they had with Jennings, Landeta and Feagles.

It's not one unit. It's the whole team. This isn't a matter of replacing the QB or the OC or even the HC. It was like this under McAdoo, and under Shurmur, and in Coughlin's last years. They've run a nice experiment and pretty much proven that the problem is deeper than the HC, the coordinators or any particular players. It's a bad organization.

Excellent post.

The problem starts with the owners. Unfortunately, neither will sell, so we’re forced to hope that they change their outdated mode of decision-making. Good luck with that.

Reese sucked, his apologists notwithstanding. Gettlemen blew the second and sixth picks in the entire draft along with at least one other first round pick. They both threw away hundreds of millions of owner money on free agents due to their inability to evaluate what they had on hand.

The Giants readily tell you that decisions are made as a collective. It's DG, it's Mara, it's Judge.

Mara might not be involved in the day to day but he is the reason they hired the GM and the Head Coach. Those positions are not filled without John Mara's seal of approval.

What does that prove that Eli was a better QB than a lot of people give him credit for when he was an older player?

Macadoo was a west coast offense short passing game oc and coach. Could not think of a worse fit ; same with shurmur. i think i agree with the gilbride thing.

I think of how affective Goff was in that system on that team. He’s not all that now in Detroit. Looking at Jones, there’s some similarities. Jones was effective with Shurmur his first year and had a pretty nice rookie season. Jones has not been very effective in this Garrett system. I am pretty sure the Giants will look to replace Garrett this off-season and give Jones another new OC and new scheme. Now question is will there be a new GM and will he want to start anew with QB? Or will that guy give Jones competition and another year to prove himself? HC, whoever that may be will also have a say, I’m sure.

Just that many have taken the fall but it really comes down to poor drafting and a shift from what common traits all the good Giants teams had over the years.

The passing numbers were okay with McAdoo as OC but they couldn’t run which goes to my point above. Ultimately they don’t have enough players that impact the game physically.

Your opinion (and mine) is inconsequential in this discussion. The facts show the only QBs who threw more TDs than Eli in his two seasons with McAdoo as OC were Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. (Drew Brees threw the same number as Eli.) Eli threw as many interceptions in his final season under Gilbride as he did the next two seasons under McAdoo despite more than double the attempts. I’m not saying McAdoo was worth a dirty nickel, but the idea that the downfall of the team began with Kevin Gilbride’s firing doesn’t make any sense.

The downfall of the team is 100% more about the downgrade in player personnel that started under Jerry Reese. The firing of Tom Coughlin, despite all of his issues, was accelerant.

Certain QBs like Eli are just not going to look like they good numbers. Big play QBs are jut not going to have good looking numbers like short passing QBs.

Look at Joe Namath's numbers ; they look terrible but i've only seen him play one game on you tube ; you get why he was a good qb. his plays were like 30 yards plus at a time and big momentum plays

We’re not in disagreement on this particular point. Moves like drafting Ereck Flowers were a bigger harbinger of doom than firing Kevin Gilbride ever was. The philosophy wasn’t the issue as much as just drafting bad, ineffectual players was. Once that happens, you have to be aggressive in free agency and that’s how you end up with mercenaries. Those guys are fine when everything goes well, but they’re the first to give up when things go badly.
Even drafting Ereck Flowers is more complicated than
