Ethan in Cleveland

Cmon OP Look beyond the record and give us some grace Our franchise savior shat the bed on national TV and lost to Zach Wilson with a fourth quarter lead. The team is decimated with injuries to some of the most important and popular players. They needed a referre gift and horrific clock management from the Giants to get a win. They have played one game of beautiful football against an elite opponent and it was amazing to watch. Other than that it has been a grind emotionally. If they can stack together a few more wins here in the coming weeks, Von starts to look better, and the offense finds a rhythm the mood will improve.

Love it!

Excellent post. The eyeball test says the OL is better to me and I suspect to you as well. We know the offense started hot last year and slowed. It's been up and down all year so far. Jets, Jags, and Giants was bad. Versus Dolphins was unstoppable. I still have faith in Allen. Dorsey and Knox are dead to me until they prove me wrong.

Oline is better than last year Pass rush is better We still have Allen SuperBowl

Name one other scenario where a NFL player left to be with a specific coach. I've never heard that happen once. Players may want to leave a specific coach but I can't think of anyone that forced a trade or being releases to join another team because of a coach. This is not the NBA. NFL players have no leverage and NFL teams have to deal with a real salary cap. What you are describing is not a thing in the NFL. In fact it is the opposite, NFL trams jettison aging or injured players well before their contract is up.

Shakir should be the primary slot guy when it's not Kincaid.

He's a backup now? What else do you want me to call him? He wouldn't start over Rousseau, Floyd, or a healthy Miller. That is DE#4.

I said in the moment they should have gone for two. There was enough time and Giants had enough TOs they could have had two drives (they did) and could have kicked two FGs to win. 6 pt lead means two FGs is a tie. In the end I really don't know that there is a right or wrong decision there.

I dont fault that one on McD. You can defend or critique either way. At some point the players have to play. Bass is good. He should not be 50% on FG attempts even from 50+. He missed right on the first one and didn't correct. He had plenty of distance. Just as Knox needs to make that catch Bass needs to make that kick. For the record, I said in the moment to punt it but I was ok with the FG attempt too.

Let him walk. This team can't afford to pay backups. There is no cap room for that. They are going to have to extend Rousseau soon. And they have Miller under contract for a couple more years. Let Davis, White, Poyer, Lawson, and Epenesa go this offseason. Hopefully extend Jones. If Dawkins keeps playing this well I'd extend him now and free up some cap space to make a move for a WR before the deadline. He's played good football. Far better than last year. Draft WR,OT, Safety, DL in first four rounds.

I understand your sentiment. I really do. But there are different rules for how a QB should handle himself. He has to be smarter

It was holding and DPI. Honestly it was way worse than the previous call against Bernard. I thought they could have let the Bernard one go. Got lucky

He's a top 4 WR in the league. The rest of the WR group is average or worse. Forcing the ball to Diggs is what allowed them to use him as a decoy on the go ahead TD. He's a beast and you should keep feeding him the ball.

I don't like Dungy but Allen did sound like a QB that lost. He knows the offense played terribly. He knows that was a bad pass to Knox that even though it should have been caught, it's a HS level throw he has to make. Hopefully he wasn't feeling dejected because his shoulder is a mess.

I thought you could make a case for Williams getting tossed. That hit and knockdown of Brown was way after the initial scrum. As for Thibodaux I also thought that was close, but it looked like Dawkins was holding his leg up too. So not a straightforward kick. In the end it just took too long. Oh and Josh grow up. WTF are you doing???? Oline protect QBs not the other way around. Your shoulder is worth more than the entire rest if the team.

I've defended him the past two years. No more. He's awful. It was a poor throw by Allen but it must be caught by a professional football player.

Shoulder. He grabbed it twice during the game in the first half. Played well with it in second half though. Maybe it had something to do with underthrow of Knox. Will be interesting to see if he can practice this week.

Bills got lucky. That was PI

Send everyone. Zero blitz!!!

Miller is useless

6 not 7.

I'm done with Knox. He was a fav of mine. But I'm done with him. That was a bad pass but it should have been caught.

Our safeties are so slow. Hyde no where close to help break that pass up. And how did one of our guys not pick that 3rd down pass??? Great play by Benford!!!! Nice job kid. Perfect technique. Run and then get your hands between the WRs hands!!!

Ah the McD defensive TO

Agree up by 6 means Giants can't win it with two field goals. There is enough time for them to get 2 drives at least. They have all three TOs and 2 min warning.
