Quote from: T200 on December 12, 2023, 08:00:31 AMI never wanted Daboll fired. I wanted Kafka fired. 

I'm in this mindset!  I don't like Kafka's playcalling and game planning!

Didn't like it last night despite the win! 

Our OLINE is not good and you send DeVito out wide with SB in the wild cat late in the game when we need to move the ball?  Now is not the time to get cute! 

Kafka is not back next year is my prediction!  Dabs hires the Bills OC they just canned and who he wanted to begin with but the Bills blocked.  Could be wrong!  Wouldn't be the first time lol

Draft picks maturing and coming alive!

Development and Growth peaking as the season goes on! 

I don't remember last time we had a game where the stadium seemed so alive!  I could feel it from the couch last night!!  We usually suck in big prime time games!

The players have bought in! 🤌🏻🤌🏻

We went from Dabs lost the team and tankarhon is on to 1 game out of the playoffs.

Seems to be an energy and resurgence within the organization.  The players are rallying around a home grown Italian from Jersey.

We are also seeing young draft picks step up.

Hyatt playing well.  Schmitz having a good rookie season.

Dale Robinson had a monster game last night!

Thibs 12 sacks and youngest Giant to ever get to 12 if I saw the stat line right.  I gave him some crap early this season and he has turned it up as the weeks have gone on.

Baker really developing at CB!

Young players stepping up in a season that looked lost.  They aren't giving up!  Dab's has this team believing even if the record it's positive.

I was starting to look toward the draft and figured our season over.

After last nights win couldn't sleep was so excited by the game, the intense ending and seeing that JS and his team are building something!  Will just take time.  It's only year 2 of JS rebuild in a year with a tough schedule and more injuries the you would hope for.

Enjoy the win Gentlemen and Gentlewomen (sorry didn't mean to exclude our lovely ladies)!  It was an exciting game and we have a week to relish it!

On to the Saints and game that is within reach if we play well.

Who made it your call to decide how others you don't even know should spend their Sunday afternoon? Mind your business. Nobody is criticizing you for anything.

Lmao - everything is the same here I see! 😉😝🤣🤣

I questioned Kafkas play calling LY and had he been hired away in the offseason I was good with it!

I am not a fan of his calling or game plan.

I hate a HC calling plays but I'm almost willing to give it a try to see if there is any improvement or change!

If there isn't then maybe we know it's more then Kafka that is the issue.

Thibs = BUST

NEAL - TBD but I think he flames out as a OT and could be a G and have success there!  He is big and strong but his footwork isn't good enough to be an OT in the NFL.

I hope we don't keep parading him out like Flowers and have history repeat itself w cause JS doesn't want to be wrong!

Quote from: RelaxTension on September 22, 2023, 08:31:50 AMGiants fans have been watching such bad football that an effort like last night is now exceptable?

I didn't think the team was going to win more then 8 games so this 1-2 start isn't surprising BUT the lack of offense and tackling so far this season is a big disappointment! How many 3rd and longs are they going to give up because the players are allergic to tackling? Even McFadden who did make some nice plays still has trouble tackling and Hawkins might give the least effort I've seen since Curtis Riley.

Everyone on D trying to strip the ball vs tackling   They ended up running WITH THE 49ers player vs tacking him!

There is a lot to work on over the next 10 days!

Quote from: T200 on September 22, 2023, 08:28:37 AMYes, they had trouble getting off the field but there were still able to close within 4 points in the third quarter.

Lemieux was playing usher instead of guard. They could have put Glowinski back in there.

Kafka could have put in some max protect plays. How come the guards don't pull on sweeps and traps? I can't remember the last time I've seen the Giants do that.

I blame the playcalling more than anything. This loss was on the coaching staff.

This!

When you are being narrow minded as a coach and refuse to make calls that is right for your team to push some agenda you have then you get all the heat!

Dabs parading Lemuiex out there with his history of being a turnstile is pure stupidity and I lost a bit of respect for him to be honest!

No run game with capable RBs on the bench

He was out coached and didn't field the best qualified players which is on him.

And the fact this game was in reach and they didn't attack it to try and pull ahead and just kept status quo is pathetic!  He let his players and fans down!

Quote from: killarich on September 22, 2023, 08:15:48 AMI like what im seeing with Ez a lot... but idk if you move your all pro LT to RT

Has Neal ever played guard ?  If he can be decent at RG and Ez plays at RT how hes been playing at LT that would be a big turn around

Listen I'm not advocating to move Thomas and banging the drum for it!

BUT.........

At this point I think you need to put ALL OPTIONS on the table and have an open mind to fix this once and for all!

If EX has the footwork to play RT GREAT!  If he can't and Thomas can!  Then move him!  Idc what he is paid or his status!  If EZ can be avg at LT and Thomas can be above avg at RT that is an upgrade to what we have right now.

If Neal can't play G he can then ride the bench!

Still confident.

He was handed Chicken 💩 and is making the best of it and we knew it would take time.

His first draft is now suspect but I am liking the play out of the rookies.

This next off season, FA and Draft will be huge for him cause after this year the STANK of DG I'd gone and he now owns everything going forward!  The excuses are gone!  Next season is the JS show with ZERO EXCUSES of cap and contracts by previous GM!

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on September 22, 2023, 07:40:06 AMI'm very disappointed in McKinney as well. I thought he was better than this. I agree that he didn't look like he was putting in a max effort or caring about fundamentals.

Thibs may simply just not have it. I'm not 100% sure of that yet but the signs are not good, obviously.

I'm calling it THIBS IS A BUST!

I was excited when we drafted him.

I got frustrated with him LY.

This year I am boarding on can't stand him out there on the field!  He is never near the QB and he is terrible dropping back in coverage!

Big JS miss! And Neal is quickly following behind him.

Quote from: Rambo89 on September 22, 2023, 08:04:28 AMWhen the defense can't get off the field not sure how you can blame the offensive play calling.

Cause the Oplay calling was crap!

Now the D has to try and stop running WITH the players trying to strip the ball for 2-5 more yards and just TACKLE THE PLAYER!!!

Tackling is CRAP this year!

We competed which is all I wanted to see against this team and the Cowturds (but we weren't against the Turds)

I too expected a 1-2 start but hoped for better.

I'm tired of talking about this OLINE already JS as a GM is going to succeed or fail (as his predecessors did) on if he can FINALLY be the one to fix this online!

There has to be a signing over these 10 days to bring in more depth and options!

I'm also starting to question this coaching staff!

Lemuiex has been absolute 💩💩 since drafted and you parade him out there VS THE 9ers!!!???  WTF!!!!

EZ has been a pleasant surprise at LT!

Neal still poor!

Once Thomas is healthy they need to experiment can EX play RT?  Or if not keep him at LT and move Thomas to the right!  Can Neal move inside and play G?

I don't give a crap what anyone was drafted for OR what we just signed anyone to millions to play!

We need to solidify and patch this line together and figure this 💩 out and give DJ more than 3 steps before he is getting run down!

This OLINE is the Giants Achilles!!! 🤬😡

Quote from: Trench on September 10, 2023, 08:33:52 PMCannot allow clock to get down to wire each time

Maybe Kafka didn't get play in on time!  It's not always on the QB

That was one pretty version of the star spangled banner!
