Giants Down By 3, Last Play of 3rd Quarter, Just on Opponents' Side of the Field, 4th and 1...

What do they do?

Come out like they're going to hard count and then punt if the Eagles don't jump, then Eli steps back into shotgun, they pass it and Cruz takes it down to about the Eagles' 5 yard line.

Coughlin is a defensive minded guy and has won two Super Bowls. Food for thought.

(Then Eli throws a pick to start the 4th, but the point remains, lol.)

Giants also:

Have won x2 Super Bowls, allowing for a little more freedom if that play doesn't work.

Have a dominant defensive line that Coughlin believes in, in case that doesn't work.

Has two-three above-average to very good wide receivers that can be a nightmare for almost any defensive backfield in the NFL.

Have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

There is a reason that they won the Super Bowl last year. They're a fuging good team.

And they make decisions that most teams don't have the guts to.

Coughlin was always an offensive coach before he became a head coach. Receivers, QB, and OC.

My fault then, but regardless, his teams weren't renowned for their offenses. I was only 12 when he became the coach of the Jaguars, so I wasn't aware of his background.

These Giants teams he's coached have always been known for their defenses as well up until the last year or so. The point is still valid.

Completely different situation. Giants were down. They were also past midfield.

Panthers were up. We were just about on midfield IIRC. Falcons only needed 3 points to win.

Not saying we shouldn't have gone for it. I guess we underestimated our defenses suckiness. But I doubt Coughlin goes for it if he was in Rivera's shoes. Situations really aren't comparable.

Do you remember the Jags of the late 90s with Brunell? They were not shabby.

Yeah, with Jimmy Smith, McCardell, and Stewart/Taylor at RB.

Good teams.

I knew he came from the Parcells coaching tree though, and his teams always seemed on the conservative side strategy-wise, so I always assumed he was defensively oriented.

You learn something new everyday, lol.

    • He’s overthrown WRs numerous times deep,I don’t think his arm strength there is a problem, def seems to be and issue in the 20-30 yard range, I don’t see a lot of outbreaking routes being completed, whether that’s due to his lack of ability to drive the ball to the outside hash or our WRs, especially XL cornering at the top of there routes. regardless of his weaknesses, the question is can a team be built around him to mask them, or can he overcome those weaknesses and adapt. I know it’s beating a dead horse, but something big is missing from Bryce’s qb play that’s leading to so many sub 200 yard passing games, all signs lead to a physical trait that’s the cause of this, wether it’s arm strength or his height  
    • That was fully intentional, because something people who engage in hyperbole can't stand is to be systematically told why and how they don't have a clue. It's the prevalence of this farcical idea that everyone's opinions are valid and the more impassioned they are about them, the more valid they are. And the point of the post wasn't merely to cut the knees of the exaggerators, but to illustrate why it shouldn't seem miraculous that someone like Mayfield and Darnold could come through Charlotte and fail and then suddenly seem much more successful elsewhere, when the reality is that there's far more to being successful at that position than one's own talent. It's also why young quarterbacks like Caleb Williams and Cam Ward deserve much longer leashes to determine their long-term viability and not be written off immediately, because the circumstances surrounding them are hardly conducive to success.
    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he was so easy to suss out. It is kind of in your face obvious.  They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.
