OT: OT: 2018 Football Thread III: Well, the Giants suck, anyway!

[Machinehead]

Eli is a nice guy and a talented QB, but he's a world class moron.

 

[BMOK33]

I have no idea how the Giants lost that game. They completely dominated ever facet of it

 

[RGY]

Retire Eli. RETIRE. You f***ing suck.

Watching this guy continually not be able to make quick decisions is a joke. He zeroes in on one target and then panics.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Five touches for Barley in the second half.

Shurmur is not an upgrade over McAdoo.

What game did you watch? Theyre defense is ATROCIOUS. Maybe worst in the league. They were the ones who were dominated.

Jenkins sucks.
Ogeltree sucks.
Vernon, invisible and sucks.

 

[RGY]

Five touches for Barley in the second half.

Shurmur is not an upgrade over McAdoo.

This team continues to have questionable embarrassing decisions all season.

We get f***ed by horrendous coaching on back ro back years.

 

[BMOK33]

I would be surprised if Shurmur is not fired. Its pretty inevitable he will be next year if it does not happen after this season

 

[Ghost of jas]

We lose an extra point, and Eli throws away three points at the end of the half. Not to mention wasting timeouts. At least the silly idea of this team running the table is dead and buried.

 

[Kovalev27]

He should be fired for this loss. He basically sat Barkley the second half. I don’t understand what goes on in these guys heads.

I don't blame Eli so much there. That was stupid play calling at the end of that half. You don't need a TD there when you're at the 27. Just run it twice and kick a 30 something yarder

 

[BroadwayBlues]

He's awful with timeouts and clock management stinks too.

 

[RGY]

Eli is legitimately an idiot. How he won two super bowls blows my mind. Im baffled. This f***ing moron forces a ball at the end of the 2nd half when he not only had Saquan WIDE OPEN but we minimum needed 3 points. Then he burns a timeout only to come back and check down which he was going to do anyway. He is a f***ing incompetent idiot.

RETIRE

RETIRE

Only because made no mistakes at all in either playoff run. He just managed the game well. I think he had 2 INTs total in the 8 games and one was not even his fault.

 

[Bob Richards]

Eagles were getting f***ing steamrolled by Saquon and couldn't stop him.

Luckily Shurmur took it upon himself lol

 

[RGY]

Saquan had to have been banged up. That can be the only conceivable reason. Has to be. Otherwise Shurmur needs to be fired immediately.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

I would be surprised if Shurmur is not fired. Its pretty inevitable he will be next year if it does not happen after this season

I'd keep him around in hopes of getting Tua.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Eli overtook Lou Gerhig as the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Him winning 2 Super Bowls is like winning the Mega-millions twice. The guy would be a 1st overall bust if not for those two wins. Absolute f***ing scrub.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I wanna know who TF actually thought the Giants could possibly run the table.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I wanna know who TF actually thought the Giants could possibly run the table.

I don't care. 4-12 would have been good enough for me if we won today.

 

[ponzu4u]

I do think there's merit to Saquon being dinged up in the second half. He sat an entire series early in the 2nd half.

People won't like it because they want instant results, but this team is still dealing with the fact they're dealing with the skeleton of a paper-thin roster inherited from Reese. Unfortunately it's going to take more than a single off-season to add the depth and talent necessary to see real improvement in this team. And it doesn't help that Gettleman, while doing well in the draft, looks to have whiffed a bit in his free-agent signings.

There were just too many holes - DE, entire O-line, LB, CB, FS, etc. to expect this to get turned around quickly. And as much as I hate to say it, it's not really looking good on the E. Engram front either at this point... You just can't build a modern NFL team via free-agency, and there were way too many early round (or really entire draft) whiffs by Reese over the last 5 years to expect a bad team to be able to turn it around in a single off-season. We've got some legit star pieces, but simply not enough cost-efficient, across the roster, depth to be a competitive team throughout a season.

One thing that scares me is that apparently Gettleman may be just as prone to not trading back in exchange for extra assets as Reese was, as I think that's exactly what we need to look to do in this upcoming draft. IMO, we're not a playoff team next year either, but we do have the chance to set this franchise up for a bright future if we can successfully build with a long term plan in mind. Which may involve waiting on our next QB until next year's draft.

 

[RGY]

The coaching decisions have been suspect. So incredibly suspect. The play calling is very questionable. So it goes beyond me caring about how the team finished this year. Our defensive players are pathetic. But its the coaching that scares me moving forward even when you get better players. Whether its going for 2 or throwing down field at the end of the 1st half or that we play a zone defense that constantly leaves receivers either wide open or a 1-2 yard gap that leaves for easy receptions, the coaching is inept. I want answers for why Barkley basically sat the 3rd quarter...was he hurt? Betcher and the 3-4 need to be gone

 

[Bob Richards]

For whatever its worth, it seems like Rosas has really improved himself from last year's uncertainty.

He makes basically everything put in front of him which I apparently can't take for granted anymore since this seem to be the year of the bungled kick.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

So many meme games this week.

Tomlin cannot red zone playcall if the entire human race relied on it.

 

[Machinehead]

Shurmur pulled a complete AV today.

He wildly adjusted for no reason way ahead in the game.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Doesn’t look like The top 3 picks will change much for the draft.

SF and AZ don’t play each other again and both have tough schedules left. Oakland has KC twice, Denver, Pitt and Cincy left.
