John Mara Disappointment Thread

djstat : 1/10/2022 1:57 pm
This thread is solely for everyone who is disgusted at the embarrassment the NY Giants have become under the leadership of John Mara. John’s latest disgrace is deciding to keep Coach Joe Judge before hiring a new GM.

Mara, this thread is to give all Giants faithful a chance to vent about how horrific a job you are doing.

LG in NYC : 1/10/2022 2:00 pm : link
but his running of this team is losing fans at a rapid clip... if not existing ones, then the next gen set of fans.

They are even worse than bad - they are boring.

Mara needs to step aside and let a football guy run the football ops... top to bottom.
Fuck him.

What makes you think the GM has not been hired. They have had plenty of time to decide if they want Abrams or to speak to the agents of other candidates. Any interview process is a charade.They know who the new GM is and that person has signed off of JJ for 1 year.

Please step aside and hire a real GM and let him make all football decisions. If he wants to fire Judge so be it !
I foolishly thought he’d shake things up THIS time.

I’ve gone from loving the Giants, to loving complaining about the Giants, to hate watching the Giants, to complete ambivalence.

The on-field disaster is one thing. The management disaster is completely avoidable.
Congratulations on having this once great franchise

Just like I am never done with Mets
Not a huge baseball fan like I was when I was a kid
But born in Astoria, my beloved Ukrainian grandmother loved them
Starting in 1969, would watch with her as she drank her piels beer and smoked benson and hedges.
So they are ingrained in me.
That being said, unless giants are competent ( not even good, just not eliminated in October) it’s a waste of my energy living and dying with them
I used to live for sundays. Now I usually turn the crap off, tape it or whatever
I love offseason more than regular season, that says it all

Jim in Tampa : 1/10/2022 2:13 pm : link
Rumors that many of the players and some of his own coaches hate Judge. Most of the fanbase hates Judge and he has even alienated some opposing coaches as well.

His "process" and culture-building isn't working.

I honestly think at this point that Mara does not care how the fans feel about anything. He'd rather run the franchise into the ground as long as he's still the one in charge.
you have lost me as a fan  
Justlurking : 1/10/2022 2:14 pm : link
20 years every game in the stadium. Never again.
There aren't many reasonable explanations for Mara  
moespree : 1/10/2022 2:14 pm : link
He's either stupid and completely detached from reality. Or he is now intentionally trolling his own fanbase. It's one or the other, maybe both.

But there aren't many other reasonable explanations one can come up with for the complete and utter disconnect with his fanbase and reality.

Disagree. Doing what the mob wants is the easy way. Going with your gut against all the noise takes balls.

John should pull a Costanza, and make all his decisions based on the opposite of what he would normally do.

This is the bottom. Can't you see John? We are the Matt Millen-era Lions. We are the current version of the 2010's Cleveland Browns. Remember that Browns team that won a single game in 2 seasons? 1-31 was their record in 2016 & 2017 under Hue Jackson. And that team would beat us today. The record book may say we're a 4-13 team, but everyone knows we are worse than that.

You have been trusting people whose heyday in football was 20 and 30 years ago. Time to start getting people in the building that knows how to build a team that can win in TODAY's NFL.

Because Mara seems to care more about being right and his own ego,than anything that happens out on the field.

will be getting some opinions on Judge.

Their heads are spinning so advice from within the NFL circles can only be good, no?

Been a serious fan since the mid 70s. If Judge is brought back I will no longer watch or spend money. If the team makes the Super Bowl i will watch and root for them but short of that there are better things to do. Bringing Judge back would be the final slap in the face for me as a fan.

jvm52106 : 1/10/2022 2:21 pm : link
Being weak isn't making mistakes it is the inability to admit the mistake, see the mistake early and make the proper move to correct the mistake.

We can blame Joe Judge, and we should for 2021 but the blame goes deeper than the Head Coach. You chose to replace Jerry Reese with an old school GM with ties to Giants past but with a very spotty record as GM. For all the talk, all the bluster, Dave Gettleman's time here will be viewed as one mistake after another. From the condescending tone towards media (specifically female members) to the we hired an "Adult" for HC- ie a shot a McAdoo and then followed up by the idiotic worship of a RB in the 2018 draft that absolutely handicapped this franchise moving forward from then.

You then replaced the Adult with a guy you thought was a BB clone, a guy who had escaped the Giants years ago and you felt you could grab the next young BB. Instead we get all the arrogance and bravado of BB with NONE of the demonstrated success.

John, to hold a coach who basically has told the fanbase that they don't know what success is, they don't know what to use as a measuring stick for success because they are tied to much to the won loss record. This team is now considered a laughing stock in the NFL. Do not kid yourselves, our 4 win record is a mirage, we easily could have been 2-15. We have a QB who clearly isn't the guy and yet you are still trying to "see" what you have in him and are now keeping a coach who called two QB sneaks off our own 3 yard line.. Is that a leader of men or a coward who wants to use injuries and Oline play as an excuse for this type of garbage. David Culley in Houston was given a job that not many wanted and that was most definitely being done with at least one hand tied behind his back and yet that lowly Houston was a far better product than our beloved NY Giants.

Do not be stubborn and stick to your "patience" stance and realize that now, while getting a new GM (outside of the Organization, not ABRAMS who has been part of years of losing already) and get a new coach that the GM wants..

This is your George Young moment. No half assed toss a chair, losing won't be tolerated moments, make a true statement that you WANT to win and you know that you and your choices have led us to where we are now. It is time to change and you need to see it, feel it and do something with it.

Weak leadership results in chaos and failure. You can see that nowadays in many factions of society.

The Giants are a chaotic failure due to weak leadership. Today's decision to continue to employ Joe Judge will do nothing more than continue this cycle of nothingness.

The New York Giants are being mocked  
Mike from Ohio : 1/10/2022 2:25 pm : link
in the national media. And they are not simply being mocked for losing, they are being mocked for the classlessness of the coach. The Giants name is now being tarnished.

Please don't tell us you are upset by losing. You clearly aren't. If I was making tens of millions off the Giants I would probably not be as upset as I am now. But the Giants are an escape for many, and right now that escape is a depressing bore.

It's your franchise and you can run it however you like. But don't be surprised when the next generation of football fan in the New York area are increasingly choosing to root for the Cowboys.

next week I will turn 66 years old. I have been a loyal, die hard fan since I was in diapers. You now have me seriously doubting my allegiance. You are a clueless, arrogant bonehead and your incompetence is now becoming legendary. Please find a large mirror and stare at it, what you see is all that is wrong with this once proud organization. Thank you for ruining football for me.
Sincerely,
Winoguy

i never thought I would say it, but fuck him.

I may be done with this team if they promote abrams and keep judge.

this team needs a fresh GM and coach with a fresh mindset
Where was this outrage when he kept Gettleman after Shurmur  
V.I.G. : 1/10/2022 2:28 pm : link
that was way worse than leaving the next GM to decide on Judge and you weren't all acting like this.
Instead of Complaining  
Arkbach : 1/10/2022 2:29 pm : link
act with your feet and wallets. Don't go to Giants games. Don't spend a dime on anything Giants. You folks living in the NYC metro area have a choice. Become Jets fans. They look like they're on the rise. If a restaurant served crappy food would you go back? If a car breaks down often, would you buy that model or manufacturer's product again? Mara will make a business decision first so fans should too.

Mara: Are you on board with Abrams as GM?

Judge: Yup!

Mara: Are you on board with signing Barkley to a 2nd
contract?

Judge: Yup!

Mara: Are you on board with exercising Jones's 5th year option?

Judge: Yup!

Mara: Great, keep up the good work!

Fans have hit their breaking point and Judge has proven to be utterly incompetent.

There will not be another time where we can gut it completely like we can now. Now is the time to finally do what should have been done in the past.

Fans  
Sammo85 : 1/10/2022 2:35 pm : link
were apoplectic when Gettleman was kept on after Shurmur got fired. Was clear Gettleman blamed Shurmur to save his own hide when problems were deeper than just coaching/leadership.

Mr. Mara,  
Daniel in MI : 1/10/2022 2:35 pm : link
You’re losing a generation of fans. My sons are turning 12, they have no memory of the Giants as anything but a bad team. They come to me to check in asking if we’re winning, and for 10 years the answer is almost always no. You have a team that hasn’t had a winning record ever under the current GM.

You can blame bad injury luck for a season here or there, but a decade? It’s one thing to believe in The Giants Way if there is one. But, it has to adapt to the current times. Even the great George Young was too slow to adapt to free agency. You’ve been to slow bringing the team into modern offensive football. You must be frustrated paying and overpaying unproductive players and coaches. Think hard about this next GM pick. It’s going to make or break you with a lot of fans. Not current ones, future fans.

Good Luck.
Daniel

There have been no measures. The same clowns have been running the show for at least a decade now. Sure, they changed the coach, but there have been no real changes.

worst owner in all of sports. The fact he still hasn't made a definitive decision on Judge shows how inept is and he is not fit to be in charge of running the organization .

I'll keep it simple. IF Judge is back i am not spending a cent on this team nor wasting my time watching games next season watching this shitty product
Surest sign of weakness in a manager

I'm the president of a medium sized medical practice, and most docs are that way, which is why most of my partners would be terrible as president of the group, which is why I'm stuck doing it. :-(
