No faith in The Italian Scallion?
Wait and see, he's gonna shock the world! 

Seriously though and I'm just kidding Tommy, the Oline should be better and with a balanced attack Tommy will take some shots to Hyatt. The Defense has to have a comeback game. Now get out there and X Shame Thibs.

If the Giants get #1 they will get calls from 2 and 3. That would be a ka-Ching!
This is why they play Tommy... lol

Panthers. They have a shot because Fields is doubtful. That makes both picks with 2 wins and the Bears probably won't want a QB and would trade out for more picks. The Giants have a connection. It might give the Panthers and Young some confidence to squeak out another win or two because it looks like they won't win another game this year. I do think AZ has a tough schedule and their best chance is the next two games. The Giants beat them head to head so I doubt the Giants get the number one pick. Doesn't matter because I don't see the Giants picking Caleb unless Mara gives full autonomy to Schoen.

Quote from: TDToomer on November 09, 2023, 01:46:03 PMSo many similarities. The Giants were kind of expected to build off their 9-7 1994 team that would have made the playoffs under todays format with Brown taking the next step at QB. With Hershel Walker brought in and Wheatley drafted in the first round to complement Hampton some predicted the Giants would lead the NFL in rushing. Phil Simms number was retired that game. It was so deflating. I think Emmett Smith took the very first play of the game to the house.

I too felt the pain.

Was that before or after he gave up on a TD?

Quote from: squibber on November 07, 2023, 02:26:25 PMA year and a half ago a friend talked me into investing money in a Bitcoin mining company. He was convinced the website and company was legit so I invested $3,000 into it.  The dividends were credited to my account for a while but then they went dark. I was unable to withdraw any of my money before it was too late.

No crypto for me ever again.

You're right. What was I thinking!

Quote from: T200 on November 09, 2023, 08:54:04 AMI'm not laying the blame completely at the feet of Daboll/Kafka because the players still have to play and execute the game plan.

But... the game plan in the season opener was garbage, if they even had one. They did not adjust or adapt to anything that Dallas was doing defensively. Our offense played dead the entire game. This offense will more than likely set a franchise record for futility.

With all the criticism Jason Garrett received and even after bringing in Fredo Kitchens, their Offense generated 17.5 and 15 average points per game. This team under the QB and Offense Gurus has averaged 11. Just wrap your head around that for a minute. Then take out the one anomaly of the Cardinals game and it's a whopping 8.75.

Daniel Jones is done here and there is no way they carry him into 2025 no matter how he plays next season. Whether they draft a QB or not. It's just too costly of a contract for a player with his injury history.

If they do draft a QB, there is no way of knowing how that will play out. So it's just a guessing game on whether the Giants get trade value for him in 2024. They won't risk paying the bonus in 2025 to trade him.

Schoen is not going to risk his career in a game of Russian Roulette with a bullet marked DJ.

So one thing is certain. Jones moves on before any guarantees kick in.

As it looks now, he becomes some GM's take a chance lottery or he becomes a career backup. I think he will wind up on a team that will take a chance with him as a starter and who knows, maybe he has a Geno Smith destiny.

Was it Dallas that showed how woefully unprepared this team was entering the season?

Was it the Bills, Raiders or Jets?

I believe it was against the Jets in a game they should have won if not just for the decision to play conservative and one dimensional, but to show how unprepared they were for a backup QB after having weeks to bring in a veteran, not knowing or understanding the condition of the kicker and calling the worst set of plays in overtime after taking the ball and not trusting their Defense.

All that aside, what were the common themes in each of the losses?
