Well, the impossible dream is over.

Now hopefully we can move on and realize it is time to fire our OC. Gilbride tends to be very stubborn and lacks the ability to adapt. It has been so painful to watch this year. While Coughlin wants a balanced offense (which we actually had at a 30/30 split yesterday), KG likes to sling the ball down field and only run as a supplement. Our passing offense is based off of complex option routes for the receivers with the large majority being down field options. These plays require time, and most importantly, a good offensive line.

In years past, this offense has worked perfectly. For years we had the best offensive line in the league and Eli can run it perfectly, as he is one of the best down field passers (still is even with all the issues this year) and his intelligence allows him to work well with the option routes. Our receivers need to be on the same page with Manning, requiring them to be experienced with the playbook. The amount of Wideouts we have started over the years has been very low (Toomer, Burress, Smith, Cruz, Manningham, Nicks) allowing them to get comfortable and in-sync with Manning.

This year, the line has been in shambles, giving Manning zero time for these routes. Gilbride absolutely refused to switch to an offense based on shorter passes, and it got Eli killed. On top of all this, our Wideouts have not been on the same page with Manning (sans Cruz). This has led to many interceptions, that all will be blamed on Manning.

Gilbrides stubbornness was so evident yesterday. The wind was horrible yesterday, making deep throws extremely difficult, yet almost no short passes were called the entire game. It was all either 20 yard passes or emergency dump offs to RB's all game. Also, our run game was absolutely destroying the Cowboys all game (over 200 yards total), yet even in short yardage situations, it was abandoned by Gilbride. We needed to have a 40 run- 20 pass split, but that could never happen with Gilbride. His play calls cost us the game and hopefully will finally cost him his job. This team has not been suited to run his offense all year and is arguably the main reason we are 4-7


End of rant.

Im a Giants fan and this is getting pathetic. We should have ditched Gilbride already. Its time for some changes. Too many missed opportunities & penalties and its awful to watch a game. They cant rely on our defense any more and it shows.

He hung himself out to dry. Didn't even show up to any off season activity.

Remember that interception Eli threw last week at the goaline? It occurred because Louis Murphy was in the game and ran the wrong route. Why was he in the game? Because Nicks took himself out of the game the play before because Eli didn't see him open. Jacobs and Brown had to go give him a long talk after that.

Yeah....if you cant figure out how to stroke a diva WR ego then its on you. Should've just gave him an incentive heavy extension last year and moved on or traded him this year for ANY draft pick. Now they both have to deal with the problems they created

TBH our defense has played really well for a while now, and is one of the better units in the league. I blame our season squarely on the offense, and most importantly, Gilbride.

Exactly man. I think it might be time to let Eli go too. I hate to say it but he literally falls to pieces under pressure. Makes a lot of mistakes.
