Coach Staley Discussion - Fired

[chargeroo]

Much is made about Allen's reaction to the call but the irony is, if he had been playing, he would have been the target because he gets open.

I agree. He's doing pretty good right now, but it's a long season, and the Giants just don't have a QB or WRs.

I remember when Josh McDaniels started 5-0 with the Broncos. I also remember Bill Belichick getting run out of town with a losing record in Cleveland.

Had Staley punted and the Chargers lost, NOBODY would have faulted Staley in hindsight.

Had the Chargers lost because the Browns actually made that field goal, EVERONE in the NFL would be laughing at him for a reckless call and gifting Browns with a win.

He’s lucky the way it turned out. Pure and simple.

Or had they converted, many would be praising his trust in his players to get the job done.

Yeah I remember that too. But Staley isn't doing really stupid things like trading Justin Herbert for Kyle Orton.

Not me. It was the wrong call no matter the outcome.

If we are doing “what ifs”…….what if Allen had been on the field and coverage prevented him from getting the first down…..then Cleveland kicks the field goal and wins.

Keenan would be even more pissed for being the bum that lost the game.

I think the posts in this thread tell us who would be blamed, Staley not Allen.

Hey, we’re doing fantasy what ifs. In this what if, a perfectly thrown spiral bounces off Keenan’s hands and he throws his helmet at Staley on the sideline after Cleveland kicks the field goal

But isnt that more credit to Daboll? other than Barkley he has shit to work with.

If the Giants continue to win and get into the playoffs, yes it will be a credit to Daboll. I was just saying that it's still early in the season and the G-men could fade, because they simply don't have the players. The NFC East is turning out to be a tough division, but the NFC as a whole is pretty weak.

It speaks volumes about daboll, anyone can do well with a justin herbert, but a great coach can come into a bad situation and make chicken salad outta chicken …joe judge was complete trash, it goes to show the type of crap that bill bellicheat has put out in his coaching tree…outside of romeo crennel and brian flores what former patriot assistant has blossomed anywhere?

daboll is proving to be a master motivator and his players have already bought in completely, I wanted robert saleh and boy was I wrong about daboll, I saw an episode of training camp coverage this past summer on nfl network that featured daboll and I was so impressed with the way he was working with daniel jones, he was making things simpler for him to grasp and teaching him why he had to do a certain thing a certain way and he was doing it in a respectful manner and jones looked like he was 100% dialed in, I was also very impressed after listening to him speak at those interviews too, he’s way humble down to earth really easy to like, I think his players already love the guy…

I hear ya.

Doesnt look unquestionably sustainable. It would help if they could get one WR healthy.

Huge kudos if he pulls off a winning record this year. Having Daniel Jones to work with as opposed to starting a coaching job with a poised, freak of nature, franchise QB is a massive difference for a coach's win/loss record
