I’m not advocating for Daboll to be coach here. I’m simply advocating for truth in discussions. 1) The Giants are an extremely talent deprived team that ANY coach would have struggle to win with. 2) The Giants have played half the season with Tyrod Taylor or Tommy Devito. And the other half of the season they had Daniel Jones, who is a slightly better Mac Jones. 3) Last season he overachieved with a bad roster. There was a mid season free-fall, similar to what the Bills have most years, but they won 3 of their last 5 games including a playoff game. I have seen little evidence of poor coaching with the Giants (the Jets game not withstanding). Much of it is simply a very poor roster. Which, Daboll not being the GM, i’m not sure that you can blame him for.

Yeah I called that. a horrible decision by Schoen at the time. But we are talking about Daboll.

Do you… think Daniel Jones is a good QB?

The Giants don’t have the horses. For goodness sake they have played 4 games with Tyrod Taylor and Tommy Devito at QB. What do you think our record would be would those two!?

That is an interesting point. We don’t have a single coordinator left on this team from just two years again when we were 13 seconds away from the AFCCG. New Offensive Coordinator, Defensive Coordinator, ST coach, WR coach, O-Line coach, QB coach… Thats a lot of turnover.

No they weren’t. Mixon finished with 2.6 ypc and the Bengals were getting little to no push in the middle.

And one of those were deep in Bengals territory! It has been over a month since we last forced an INT. We really need to create some more turnovers of our own, while reducing the turnovers we … well … turn over. It’s incredible we kept the game so close. I was also happy to see shades of the 2021 offense come out with the Allen designed run and the quick hitters in the 4th quarter. Where was that all game!?

To add to the coaching comments: - We took far too long to adjust from zone to man. Burrow is a cerebral QB and will pick a zone apart. He struggles far more in man coverage. - We eventually began playing base-man in the second half and the Bengals only scored 3 points. Burrow was 21-26 (81%) for 220 yards against zone and prior to that last pass was 9-17 (53%) for 85 yards against man. Its just frustrating to see the coaching staff take so long to adapt. I mentioned this on the very first drive:

Von makes that play last year. He is toast.

I totally would have had a player on defense go down there to save time.

My problem with Dorsey isn’t his play-calling (well, not completely) - It’s his play designs. Our spacing is so bad that we have receivers literally running into each other.

I just looked it up. We haven’t forced an INT in over a month. 35 days.

They’re playing tight man but no bump.

Uh that ball came out.

When was the last time we got a turnover? I genuinely don’t remember. Was it 2 games ago? 3?

He’s not holding the ball because he likes the way it feels in his palm. No one is getting seperation.

Spencer Brown… brutal.

The reason they’re running into each other is because our spacing has been off all year long.

I don’t necessarily care about that specific play, but i’ve been saying it for a couple years now - McDermott is not a situationally aware coach. Which is unfortunate, because it is a key component of head coaching.

Welp. I guess it’s safe to say that all the excuses of adversity and so forth for last years loss can be thrown out.

We need a turnover so bad.

We are definitely more aggressive as a defense under McDermott (than Frazier), but the results of that aggressiveness has not been any better.

On that 3rd down that led to the 4th and 1, we simulated the blitz and then dropped the linebackers into the exact zone Burrow completed the pass. How that is even possible is dumbfounding. You dropped linebackers into that space to stop the exact pass that was completed.

Need to keep hitting Burrow. Over and over and over.

Spencer Brown has been absolutely dreadful tonight.
