Yeah I'm a football fan an this is a football journal. a bit late but I have to get these thoughts down anyways.
We should have not pushed Tom Coughlin to get out. Granted he's retired from the Giants but goddamnit he should not have fucking gone and you all out there should not have called for his head! Here's fucking why, two tiers of reasons. 1, the lack of a winning record and shit is NOT HIS FAULT. and 2, you idiots have completely neglected to make a plan for the future! And now to elaborate.
1: Not his fault
- Name one fucking person from memory off the defense this year aside from JPP, who is playing essentially one handed by the way. And then while you're at it, who played tight end or receiver besides OBJ? This team ESPECIALLY on defense has no frieking TALENT. The Giants drafting and free agency choices have been HORRIBLE. The team has had no depth and no talent for the whole of the past 2 years or so outside of the lone home run players like Cruz, OBJ, and JPP. Oh not to mention my man Turbo (David Wilson) who had to early retire from injury. You try and coach a team who might as well have it's own fans playing on the field! Eli and OBJ can do great things, but he can only do so much! The Giants needed to clear out whoever was getting Tom his players instead.
2: You have no future now!
One thing I was saying while everyone was calling for Caughlin to go away, was this. WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PLAN FOR THE FUTURE THEN? Cause here's the way it was, and now IS, going to play out. Eli has what, about 4, maybe 5 years left in him before retiring? And he JUST got used to the new offense. So NOW, You are going to throw that away and bring in ANOTHER new head coach and new offense for him to learn. That should take him about, say, 3 years to get good at. Oh look! It's now 2019 and Eli is JUST NOW getting used to the offense! Things are clicking and times are good! FOR ONE FUCKING YEAR! Now it's 2020 and suddenly Eli is looking like Peyton did THIS year, not able to play anymore and deciding whether to retire this year or try to force himself to play another year. And so here we are in 2021 drafting a NEW quarterback to replace Eli, and now that quarterback and team are gonna take ANOTHER 2 or 3 years to get good probably.
In other words, YOU HAVE MADE THE GIANTS SUCK FOR 6 OUT OF THE NEXT 9 YEARS! Unless we actually do one of those miracle hires/draftings with the new coach or QB, but oh wait! Look at the teams who DID that the past few years! Look at the Colts with Andrew Luck, the Redskins with RG3, the Raiders, The 49'rs, the Eagles with Chip Kelly! YEAH. Those MIRACLE rookie success teams suddenly SUCK three years later! The Giants are a team built on the solid ideals of building a team up over time, to take the long view of things, to plan ahead, to play for the future! THAT is why I am a fan of them over any other goddamn team! Not because they are the local team to me! Hell the #2 team on my list is the Seattle Seahawks! and the Jets are #5 on my list of favorite teams, and ONLY cause of locality. We should have kept Eli and Coughlin together and had them retire together. Now that Coughlin is gone and Eli in the twilight of his career, our only choice is to now either trade Eli so that indeed we are starting 100% fresh, which we would be BEYOND STUPID to do. Or, deal with the next decade of irrelevance. Thanks for making Coughlin retire assholes..... Go Giants...

But firing the coaches? That's not good this time around (worked with lions, but yeah, that's a separate team). I hope whoever they bring in has enough sense to try to follow examples, and maybe stick to a similar playbook. But...I doubt it. People who have good instincts and sense are already working for other teams <..<
