You know I'm willing to give McAdoodles a couple season to settle in and get his scheme working, but it was pretty obvious today his lack of play calling experience. Those three fade calls in the endzone, the last drive in the fourth quarter, heck even some drives that started with two shotgun draws to go three and out. It's like he can get into a rhythm calling one series and then the next series just fuck it all up and have the most random play calling alive. He needs to take a page from Gillys two minute drive play calling because that final drive was just beyond pathetic.

It wasnt a win but atleast the defense looked like it belonged in the NFL. I guess thats a moral victory, those count for something in the NFL, right?

Then how else are you expected to answer the question "Are you going to win on Sunday?"

To be fair what more do you expect for a rookie RB. It's not like JR was expecting him to be the starter in the next couple seasons.

I don't think being on a sub 500 team that is hitting the reset button is going to make Eli want to finish his career in NY, especially with Peyton having a resurgence in Denver at age 67. The real question is, if JR hits the "panic fuck me throw everyone under the bus" button and lets Coughlin, Fewell and others go, would he spend money on a QB that would be asking for a large portion of cap space when a new HC regime would want to start with a clean slate.

Four years of watching that loud mouthed cry baby run up and down the field screaming at the refs after every single play. Then having the team quit on him. He's the lesser of the two brothers and his own team doesn't want to extend his contract, now if John Harbaugh was looking for a HC job, things would be different.

To be fair McNabb had the Giants number in and air and on the ground until they were able to get a winning combo in Strahan and Osi.

Not to mention the guy is one rude comment away from beating someone to death. He already needs a babysitter 24/7 in Dallas just to stay out of trouble.

Why Pepper Jonhson of all people as well?

The DE/LBs seal the edge and than Wilson exploits the underneath game which has been wide open all season because he has all day to throw. He send the DEs and crashes them in and then Wilson or a misdirection play bounces outside. He can't count on the LBs doing their job because they simply don't have the talent to run plays down or cover. The D-line cant generate pressure with four so he cant drop LBs because then Wilson runs wild or a WR gets open. I mean he threw everything he had at the Seahawks and none of it seemed to work, he just isnt all that imaginative hiding the weakness and lack of talent on the D side of the ball, which most DCs can at least attempt to do. Spags was able to cover weaknesses by exploiting the pass rush and dialing up LB blitz to send more people than anyone can block, but he was able to do so because of the talent he had along the front four. Fewell doesnt have the imagination or talent to do anything when the offense adjusts to his game plan.

The Giant's i.e. Mara doesnt run the team like the Raiders when the team is losing he throws the panic reset switch and get rid of the entire coaching staff and GM. He already threw out his butt buddy Gilly, and he'll probably throw Fewell out this season, maybe even Coughlin. JR is safe, Mara will bitch about how the team needs to become more competitive but it's the same thing he says every year to make the ticket buyers feel better.

I bring the point back to Mara JR. The Giant's have had what? three GMs in the last 30 years. I doubt JR is going anywhere in the next few seasons, Mara will make Fewell/McAddo the scape goats and I'm sure he will even throw Coughlin under the bus before he goes after a guy in the FO. Wonder what Mara Sr would be doing in this situation.

As much as people blame Fewell, it's not like he's working with the 2007 defense. We don't have a starting caliber LB, the secondary is down to Rolle and DRC despite it being the strongest unit at the start of the season and the "famous" Giant's pass rush is made up of JPP/Kiwi/Moore/Ayers. I know people keep saying the offense has no talent on that side of the ball, well that was the excuse of the week anyways. I'm just trying to find the talent on the defensive side of the ball that isnt on IR. We had no one to contain Wilson and Lynch bounced off the LBs and Secondary like he was a pin ball, the blame is on much of Fewell as it is the players for giving up 300+ yards rushing. Like everyone has been wanting, Fewell is gone at the end of the year if not after this week, but we could bring in Dick Lebeau and we would still have the same result. It's up to JR to bring in the talent because theres no way in hell JWill, McClain and Kennard are the LBs of the future.

I remember most people saying the Giant's wouldn't win more then 6-8 games. I'm surprised to see after a few wins against so-so team, people changing their minds.

Gentlemen, both our offense and defense are bad, from Coordinators to Players.

Oh the third and long playbook? Yeah I'm bored and playing with Paint. Should be doing lab reports.

So apparently this has been leaked by some anonymous person inside the Giant's locker room. Coughlin really needs to get a hold of this team.

I think it's just time for you to move on to greener pastures, other than football.

Yeah I'm going to agree with Nas. It's not like people were calling him the next Barry Sanders, he's a rookie who needs to learn the game. I'm sure the coaching staff would love nothing more than to keep doing what they were with him when Jennings was healthy, unfortunately he's been thrown into the starting spot.

The good one or the bad one?

He's probably one of the best defensive minded coaches in the league and simply put his players don't quit on him. He'll end up getting a HC job somewhere since the Jets have already made him the scapegoat, and he'll end up making some team a winner. Any chance the Giant's can just say "Hey instead of moving half way across country, just move across the river" Would love to see what he can do with our defense.

Wasnt it doctors orders the he doesnt play in the NFL anymore?

I'd like to know where everyone gets this idea from. Williams, Pugh, Richburg, Odell are all starting, heck the entire 07 draft class was starting at some point.

HA, I loved hearing that during the game, at the end of the day it's just a game. Back when I played college ball, I would tear some grass out the turf the throw it on the lineman's helmet before the snap, if I could just get them for one play trying to over commit just to try to block me out of a play I knew I won because they would leave a lane wide open.

Because a year ago he wasnt the player he was a few years ago and the Giant's have had a pretty good sense when a player is done after injuries.
