I don’t think it’s at all a foregone conclusion that DG is fired this off-season . Mara seems really set in his way and “the Giants way.” I worked last Sunday and for the first time in my life as a fan I’m in indifferent to the team. I’ll still likely watch on Sunday. But what nepotism reigns supreme and you had a meddling owner, there isn’t too much hope for things changing for the better IMo
Dave did a very good job as a Pro Personnel guy his first time. Some remember the big names that worked out but it was the smaller ones that also had a huge impact. Kevin Boothe and I can't remember his name but a player signed from Denver.
Anyway, his time is almost up. If people need to attack then so be it. It just has not worked out very well.
Either they will still care (most likely) or they wouldn't have cared about the Giants next year anyway, and they're using the GM situation as their excuse.
It’s my team.
High hopes might finally be fulfilled.
Nevertheless, I still care.
If the season continues to spiral I hope he steps up and resigns. Something along the lines of, "I didn't get it done. This great franchise needs to prepare to move forward and I am in the way. I thank.....".
(too young for the real bad years in the 70s)
I am 49 years old
As a Knicks (73') Mets(86') and Rangers (94') fan. The Giants are the most winning of the franchises I root for. Stay the course and ride it out. Enjoy the good moments.
This is going to be what to look at. Mara has already stated that have made significant changes to how they operate. If it gets really bad you would think he is going to be under enormous pressure to really make drastic changes such as removing himself and other family member from football operations. Give someone total control from outside and simple be someone that watches practice and shakes the players hands after the game like his Dad did.
It’s my team.
High hopes might finally be fulfilled.
Nevertheless, I still care.
You brought a child into this world knowing that DG might still be GM???? Madness!!!!
Misguided and wrong as he may be, I firmly believe that Mr Mara would fire DG today if he thought it was best for the Giants. Now, I don’t know why he doesn’t see what many of the rest of see regarding Gettleman’s rank buffoonery , his obvious incompetence and undeniable abject failure. But that’s another conversation altogether I suppose. Getty stays or goes, I’ll be here on BBI and I’ll watch or listen to on the radio every snap of every Giants game to the day I leave this world. To be honest, I like to think I’ll still be watching the Giants after I die but I’ll be with my brother Ross. And we’ll be raining thunder and lighting down on the Eagles! Ha!
I would never consider not watching , but I get why some would
They can't stop the run they cant rush the passer they can't catch sure interceptions and worst of all they can't even tackle. I wanted to throw the remote through the screen at JJs head after the fake punt that almost was. I mean JEEZ your speciality is specials. They are becoming like the Yankees, unwatchable, but at least the Yankees could win a game or two.
Well said. Exactly where I am. I don't understand the fans right now who are still certain we're on the correct path after 10 years of losing. I was the most optimistic fan years ago but this regime has beat it out of me. Arrogant, condescending, and know-nothing out of this GM was the cherry on top.
Haha.
Yeah. A lot of football to be played. Too much.
Oh yeah, they're going to turn this one around and win 4 more games and that will still be something to be proud of to look into the future.
"No one expected them to win 4 games with back-ups!"
Come on. You stuck through the Knicks for a longer period of garbage and you never bailed on them. They haven’t won a title since the early 70’s. This is why I always say the Knick fan is much more pie in the sky than Giant fans.
And-for the record-I really don't think Mara is so idiotic to bring DG back. What I pray to God John does is not promote from within/bring someone in with NO ties to our organization. Enough of this loyalty garbage.

Well said, and I’m confident real change is coming.
I keep seeing this over and over and don’t understand it. Jerry Reese won two superbowls and was fired but Gettleman is going to get this treatment? Why?
Left out the contract to Solder.
