5 Points to consider

So firstly I do not condone the way the team is playing however here are 5 things to consider to give context

1 The elephant in the room, missing three key pieces and two veteran players our game plan has been vastly altered these past games, a tough ask for many teams but especially a young and building one

 

2 while Sams play at times is indefensible the simple fact is that our interior line makes us an easy target, given that it was also the problem with his last line in NY shows a glaring weakness of his that may just be his personal kryptonite, and that is stunts, games and interior rush in general, unsurprising given his athleticism not being necessarily elite, the result is regression until it’s fixed

 

3 While the giants are a bad team, I do not think the eagles or the Vikings were as bad as we thought, and while upsetting, it should be comforting that the bucs also struggled with one of those teams, and the other will likely win today.

 

4 While we did perform ahead of schedule early, I doubt the panthers brass were taken completely unaware that this may not quite be our year just yet , but despite that they have been aggressive and proactive, which is a refreshing change from the old regime, besides we still don’t know who this team is just yet.

5 given our current record, it may be much easier to take another cornerstone talent at any position including QB, in the coming draft ether through trade or standing pat, thus speeding along the rebuild.

All that said, there is still cause to be cautiously optimistic for the future of the team, and while a loss or close win against a bad team may sting, we are likely ok. Thanks for reading everyone

Bull. Giants are down a bunch of starters too. This is the ghost of bad teams past, bringing unpleasant flashbacks to the Clausen days. This is unwatchable garbage.

I realize that you feel that way and that the giants are indeed bad, but again look at the other teams we have played, we have a few very exploitable weaknesses that just aren’t quick fixes, it’s gonna take some time for sure but it’s not as bad as it seems.

    • The reset worked with proton.me.. wouldn’t work with my Gmail, Yahoo or Verizon email accounts 
    • Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.
    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
