Whatever this era of NYG football has been, it’s over

Sean : 11/23/2021 7:03 am
The Dave Gettleman era has been one of the most forgettable, incompetent eras in the history of the franchise. Just about every move has been a disaster. Gettleman has NEVER had a winning record while in the general manager role here. His record is 18-40.

He promised fixing the lines during his intro presser, it never happened. The Saquon Barkley pick has been a disaster and he’s mostly had no impact on the results of the game. The Jones pick was universally mocked and we are seeing why, picking Jones at 6 was a massive reach. If you don’t know if you have your franchise QB by year 3, you don’t have him. If all of that isn’t enough, the Giants dipped into future years to spend this season, and they are 3-7 and in last place.

There is always debate on here as to why this franchise is where it’s at. One thing is clear though, we all deserve better. Raise the standards.

18-40. Ernie Accorsi after 2006 said there was a championship in the room, that is not the case here. The sooner this era of NYG football is over, the better.

Is beyond a joke. Fire everyone. They should have traded these shit players when they had a chance

it? Do you have a link?

I had 1.5 feet out the door before Judge was hired. He briefly pulled me back in. But he is proving to be just as incompetent as McAdon’t.

Hoping I still give a shit when they manage to put a real team on the field. Not looking good. I cannot stand this version of Pussy Ball we are watching. Even when it works it’s God awful to watch.

There’s gotta be a better way. Graham thinking he can just sit back like that actually makes me laugh. They must think they’re geniuses. And on the rare occasions it works they can talk about how smart they are.
yup I am optimistic

I got a new giants hat from fnatics.com on the way! A little Giants swag on the way.

Look at the bright side -- you have to hit rock bottom before you can get better and we might have just done that. All players back ; jones being Jones and his best throw was to a defensive lineman on the other team.

There is no BS ing around now. No more "if the refs" or "if they didn't fumble we'd be .500". Or "we could still make the playoffs". Or " we need to see more". That was a good old fashioned but kicking and there can be no excuses now.

Oh ok. Good.

Because I thought I just had a dream they got waxed 30-10 by Tampa Bay last night.
I need the last DECADE of Giant football to end...

...GM is a start. Gentleman inherited a team with an OLine dumpster fire. The results speak for themselves.

Time to clean house.

Again.

This is the Gettleman era. All the excuses and rationale of what and who he is have been silly in my view.

He’s the architect and principal manager.

He’s an arrogant blowhard, who blew it.
Amen, Brother!

I look at other teams with "crap" rosters and yet they remain competitive with QB's like Heinicke and Hurts. The problems begin at the top, with the owners, GM and coaches. Over the last few years, the coaching staff has never been able to elevate the play of the roster or effectively scheme their way around weaknesses. I used to think that Tom Coughlin had worn out his welcome / lost the players but I was so wrong. Unfortunately, we need a clean sweep again, though we may have settled into the purgatory of other perpetual losers like Detroit, Chicago and the "other" NY NFL team. Too bad the broom won't sweep away the owners, who keep on making the same hiring mistakes....scouts and GM's who can't evaluate and select talent and coaches who can't outthink the opponents. Here we go again! This has turned from "Hog Mollies" to Groundhog Day.

Forget 2012-2015, this is FAR worse. There is no shame in a decline after a long successful stretch like we saw at the end of the Reese era. The shame is being an extension of those mistake which we have seen from 2018-2021.

I feel like "rock bottom" as a concept is a myth. First of all, things can always be worse. There is no absolute floor on just how bad things can get. Second, you don't have to let things get to a pitiful level in order to change. Arizona didn't. Which brings me to the last point: things only improve when you make the proper changes. Do you have ANY confidence in the ownership of this team to do so?

I'm sorry, I know you're trying to be positive. But we're wandering the fucking desert out here.
This era is far from over  
Ike#88 : 11/23/2021 7:41 am : link
as we need a QB as well as Oline and passrushers and LB's. If we had been able to draft Herbert maybe there would be some hope. I hope we never again take a RB at #2 pick. Even if Judge stays the changes needed with a new GM as well as in the scouting department will be disruptive. We have become as dysfunctional as the Jets. Which is hard to recover from. We will be down for years to come.
Hard to say this era is over

When the player personnel department is led by 2 Maras. And they’re not firing themselves.
The era will continue

with smaller, incremental, Mara friendly changes. No need for wholesale change. Not the 'Giants Way'

Then there is no hope. The Mara’s own the team and they aren’t going anywhere.
A sad & broken organization from the top
