2017 Football Thread III: End of an Eli

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Grew up in Westchester. I've met most of them.

I was having a bad day when we met. Sorry.

 

[Machinehead]

48 hours later. This is still awful.

 

[Holocene]

No, that would be the Turnpike corridor from New Brunswick to Jersey City.

Wrong.

Anyone that lives in NYC that thinks it's bad the Eagles won, multiply that feeling by a billion and you'll get where I am at living in Center City, Philly.

I actually stupidly accepted an offer to go to a Super Bowl party. It was even worse than I thought. All of the "Eagles fans" fans were frauds probably watching their first game of the season. But they sure as hell pretended to be huge fans. One girl was dressed in all Eagles gear used to be a "Giants fan" and now that she's in Philly is an Eagles fan. Another one didn't know who Chris Collinsworth is and was at least as excited with his Super Bowl bingo, but he did announce how will run through Philly screaming. Another one didn't watch the whole game, came with less than a minute left to play and was screaming like he's a lifelong fan. I had explain all night why I live in Philly but am rooting against the Eagles. It was hell. Then I walked home through Center City. Though I probably could have gotten a Lyft but I figured what the hell might as well torture myself a little bit since I never experienced a riot before. I didn't see anything crazy, but I didn't quite make it to Broad Street. I did see a bunch of people climb shit.

THIS. If you squander this chance you basically become the jets

Thats what I was getting at without taking a shot at jets fans. So many teams waste pick after pick and year after year searching for the guy that we are in a GREAT spot to pick. This team isn't going to turn it right around its going to take a bit to fill depth and holes Reese left with horrendous drafts; get the QB this year and fill the holes next year. If we get a high pick again next year we can trade back get more picks and fill depth, this year we need to secure our future.

I’m an Eagles fand and most of my friends are all Giants fans. I respect the Giants and their fanbase more than most teams in the league. They’re a classy, quality organization from top to bottom

 

[Hunter Gathers]

With Josh McDaniels withdrawing from the Colts gig, we really dodged a bullet by not trying harder to grab him. He was my top guy, but man alive. This looks awful.

Congrats. I have no love for the Eagles but I have a really close friend who is a lifelong Eagles fan so I'm happy that he got to see his team win.

The Pats deserve him. He brought in a coaching staff who all signed contracts and any HC the Colts hire now inherits that staff. Plus all the other candidates interviewed by the Colts took other jobs. Not like I have any sympathy for the Colts but wow what a dirtbag,

He's a snake. f*** that guy.

I'm a Jets fan but I'm glad I don't have to listen to his trash in NY. You guys def made the right choice.

Complete piece of garbage. Wow.

Everybody got a chuckle when Gettleman made a big deal about Shurmur being an "adult". Seems it could be directed at more then just McAdoo.

 

[sbjnyc]

Complete piece of garbage. Wow.

Apparently he never even bothered to give a heads up to "his" new coaching staff.

 

[Hasbro]

We're still looking for a Jets GM and have a few other teams available for our NFL mock starting the 9th. An opportunity for you to know you could draft better than the real Jets.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Any insights from some of our more draft-savvy posters now that the combine is going on?

I heard Saquon Barkley crushed it.

 

[silverfish]

I understand the hesitation/fear about grabbing an RB at 2OA, especially in this draft and especially considering where the Giants are currently, but I am so impressed with Saquon.

2018 4th and 6th for Ogletree and a 2019 7th.

Know nothing about Ogletree, but PFF gives him a poor overall grade and has him as the 76th ranked LB. Thoughts?

I liked him coming out of college, but has stagnated since then. Still young enough to turn it around though.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

'tree is an OK player. He's an AWFUL tackler, though. Truly terrible at that. I would've rather kept the picks.

Real chance the Browns select Saquon #1 and then take a QB at #4.

Could see it. They're guaranteed to have a QB on the board at #4. No guarantee that Saquon is there.

He played last year as an ILB, as an OLB he was great for the Rams, he can also rush the passer pretty well. Web need LB for our new defensive scheme, without putting the pads on he is already the best LB for the Giants in the last decade.
