I guess nothing on BBI should really surprise me. This is a team that overachieved by a wide margin last year and *won* a playoff game. This regime has an 11-10-1 overall record despite many people saying the franchise was years away from even being competitive after 2021. And here we are at 1-2, and we have fans already talking about how Schoen should only get one more off-season to fix it. Someone on the post game thread said if things don't turn around they wouldn't even give Schoen and Daboll 2024.
We really do have some idiots in this fanbase. People here wanting to penalize this regime for overachieving last season. Most people expected regression this season after a lot of one score wins. Vegas had the win total at 7.5.
So, Gettleman gets 4 seasons, but Schoen is lucky to get 3? Schoen hasn't even had the opportunity to draft his own QB (something Reese never got either), but somehow Gettleman gets that luxury?
I just couldn't believe the stuff I was reading last night. Who would want to come here if this franchise reset AGAIN despite winning a playoff game last year when no one expected it.
Everyone needs to relax. The Giants are 1-2 and the season is in its infancy stages.
They did very poorly in the 2022 draft with 11 picks 2 in top 10
Glowinski not a good signing2022
2023 off season focused on receivers and other than JMS ignored O line
Jones very under valued on this board
2023 draft better with JS having more of his people in place
Not only not unfair, but, adding in no free agency results, plainly disappointing. Do they know what they are doing?
Geeez....
And yet based on the play to date i do not see a better team.
People say on paper we are better. That is pointless. Its how you play on the field that counts.
We arent getting it done on the field.
This team was not ready to start the season. That is on Dabol. Soft preseason soft start to season.

I am not bailing but it is fair to question if they are the right ones for the job. The playoff run last year was awesome, but it was one year.
One good year isn't enough to tell if they're right for the job, but two bad weeks means it's fair to start questioning them?
I never jumped on the bandwagon, essentially I have been questioning them from the start. Last year was one year of results.
You called last year's playoff run "awesome." There were only three outcomes to last season that would've been objectively better than the one we eventually got, so I think it's now fair to question just what would meet your definition of success.
They had a successful first season, one season. That is all it took for you to be onboard, I am holding out a bit longer.
Throwing the Ball
Stopping the run
Stopping the pass
Which one can you say we are good at? Hell, even average at?
How much success would have been enough after only one season for me? Well that depends, I really do not like using a single season to sign up for the future.
It is not like I am saying the Giants should move on from them which would be quite hasty. Some fans just want to see more before we are confident in what we have. The good thing is that since I am just a fan I don’t have to worry about making a decision like the owner of the team would. I can afford to wait longer before I decide even when other fans think that is a brutal decision way of thinking.
He acknowledged the Waller trade was a hedge against the lack of #1 WRs in free agency and draft (by the late first round) - I suspect they’ll pounce on one this offseason. A #1 WR (Higgins? Evans? Draft?), edge rusher and OL will go a long way toward raising the ceiling of this team.
At this rate - 5 wins for the season should be the goal.
I don't disagree with your point but their starting QB suffered a season ending injury in week three of the second year (when they went 4-12).
Conversely, the Giants held onto Gettleman for four whole years when I thought it was pretty clear from the get go he was a disaster.
Each situation is different. Daboll had a masterful first year, I'm very high on him. I think Schoen is much more TBD--partly due to the GM needing more time to marinate, partly due to him being cap constrained the past couple off-seasons. I think the jury will remain out on him for at least another year or two.
Great post. A lot of people forget how poor some of those Shanahan/Lynch seasons were.
