OT: 2019 Football Thread: Part III – Danny Dimes and Sammy Spleens Edition

[SnowblindNYR]

The perfect exhibit of an NFL team that is perpetually bad is Tampa Bay. They are always bad, and they have multiple high picks. They were the team that was notorious for having so much money to give free agents and suck.

Well, we've been duped by that with the Jets. The Giants might be in that same mold coming up this offseason. They have a boat load of money.

All that means is that they don't have guys on their roster worth keeping around after being drafted. Good teams rarely get a bunch of good free agents because they have to pay their players first and never have the funds to get those guys when they actually hit the market.

Reese fluked into a good year last time we were in this situation. The year after we went 3-13...

These teams don’t have coaches

Tampa Bay at least has Arians now. He’s old, but he’s easily their best coach since Gruden. Giants have had scrubs since Coughlin, and the Jets haven’t had a passable coach since Rex.

The Bucs were a powerhouse during the Sapp/Brooks years (a powerhouse for the NFL anyway, a SB win and making the playoffs most years) and that run only ended like a decade ago.

The closest I've seen to a team I thought might never make the playoffs again were the post Sanders Lions but even they bounced back to respectability, albeit after a decade and half a dozen coaches.

None of this counts the Browns of course, who are the only real hopeless slopfest team now and forever. They seem to be the exception to every rule.

The Giants need two guru's to coach each line and it needs to build a solid D. You take care of those two areas and the rest is minor adjustments. The backfield of Jones and Barkley is set and they have decent receivers. The lines at best cancel the opposition but on most plays the lines get man handled as in the Dallas game. Very rarely do they have any push back. I'm not smart enough to know if technique or lack of talent is to blame but I do know the results, the lines suck. You are not going to win any games when you can't control the trenches.

 

[TheTimTamSlammerMan]

Funny how the Rangers can make backups look like HOFers and the Giants can make trash QBs look like All-Pros.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I should have made the bet I was talking about. The Jets are winning this by at least 2 touchdowns.

 

[LeetchisGod]

The Giants are a disgrace. Hiring Schurmur was one of the worst moves in franchise history.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Does Jones have grease on his hands?

 

[RangerBlues]

OH YEAH!

 

[Bob Richards]

Darius Slayton is good

 

[RangerBlues]

Bell never made such easy money in his life.

 

[Bob Richards]

Solder out with a concussion.

 

[Bob Richards]

This season has made me love the Saquon pick more and more ....

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Darius Slayton when taking account draft position may be the best value pick of Gettleman. It's not a stretch to say he's our best WR.

 

[IDvsEGO]

Bell never made such easy money in his life.

Say what you want about his hold out. But he's fighting for every yard, and never takes a play off.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Jones' lack of ball security is an epidemic at this point. It's negating all his other positive attributes.

 

[Bob Richards]

Jones got absolutely humiliated on that holy shit lmfao

that was shameful

 

[NYRFANMANI]

German's would have a blast at Jets games.

"Fickeeeen!" lmao

 

[TheTimTamSlammerMan]

Dang what happened to Rosas?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Field Goal kickers are mental little people (since the m word is apparently offensive).

 

[I Eat Crow]

Dang what happened to Rosas?

Shot confidence. He missed a PAT two weeks ago after being more or less perfect for two years and hasn't been the same since.

 

[TheTimTamSlammerMan]

Another 4 td game for Jones. If he stops eating popcorn before the game he could be ridiculously good.

8 starts, 3 4 TD games.

 

[TheTimTamSlammerMan]

Impressive when half their receivers have been injured the whole season and their pathetic line has been giving up pressure every down.

 

[LeetchisGod]

The Giants should stop drafting cornerbacks. They always suck.
