OT: Football thread (2024 season)

[Bob Richards]

Both should be gone.

Pretty crazy but not the worst outcome. I’d rather keep both than fire one of them and keep the other.

I find it hard to root for Dabes. I think he is a bit of a phony and his players/coaches see that. I do think he is good enough to coach a playoff team but not a Superbowl team.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Hyatt seemed thrilled Dabes is coming back

 

[Bob Richards]

Lmfao

 

[Machinehead]

I understand where they're coming from. They hit the reset button on the rebuild as soon as they called Daniel Jones' name, and nobody in the current regime was responsible for doing that.

The guys in charge now get to do their own rebuild and we'll see where it goes.

 

[NickyFotiu]

I would say around 95% of the Giants roster are guys Joe and Dabes brought in and the guys that are not (Dex, Thomas, Slay) are 2 of the 3 best players on the team.

Giants keep Schoen, Daboll after 3-14 season

After a disappointing 3-14 season, the New York Giants said they will keep general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll, stating the team is confident in their "vision."

Unbelievable.

They’ve built a bad roster. Getting worse each and every season leading to the worst team in Giants history.

The owner himself acknowledging the team is worse off than where they started! That’s incredible! Mara 1000% kept them only because constant turnover looks bad and he hates looking bad.

I wouldn't say it was a horrible roster because it has a handful or ProBowl caliper players (2 that they inherited) but good or bad they are Joe and Schoens guys after 3 years in charge. Hard to blame others after 3 years. They also let go of Love, Leo, Xman, Barkley, etc that played at Pro Bowl levels after being let go.

The problem is the O-Line is on them, and to really add fuel to the fire, Barkley proceeds to almost break the rushing record.

Oh, and they're the ones that extended Jones!

Great. Just what the Jets need, another distraction. It worked out so well for them with Rodgers this year.

Apparently, Rex Ryan is super confident that he will get the job. I'm not happy about that, but, to be fair, the last time we had success was under Ryan. So maybe it isn't a bad thing. I'm at an absolute loss as to what to do with the Jets.

He did make Mark Sanchez look competent.

...Jets, what the f***?! How does Sanchez have the most postseason wins as a QB for the Jets?!?!?!?!?

If we sign Rex its because its a "loyalty" pick to Woody, Rex knows Woody cant stand AR8 right now hence the recent country club comments Rex has made.

Flores as HC and McCown as OC would be a good tandem for a rebuild, my only concern is how Flores never got on with ownership previously and how Woody can be.

In order Flores, Joe Brady then Rex would be my HC picks with the KC Assistant GM for GM role.

I left out Vrabel because the Patriots seem to be a lock right now ...unless Vegas punts Pierce and Brady wants Vrabel in I can see it happening.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

we’re playing our backups lol

This happens every year with multiple teams and they don't all lose 31-0.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Oh yes, finally the Broncos are back in business! They are dogging on D and the O looked dynamic! Nix looks good.

Sure KC was playing the b-team kinda, but the shutout couldn't have come at a worse time for them.

Let's gooo!

And yet Schoen still says that the DJ signing was correct.

 

[17futurecap]

The Rooney Rule is hilarious, just let the Pats hire Vrabel. Them speed running interviews with Pep Hamilton and Byron Leftwich is a joke.
