Herc Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 agreed 100%. i can't count how many times i thought the playcalling drove me nuts this season and last--even in wins. the truth is eli and plax have bailed out the play calling a ton this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 seriously, what the fuck? Its like "hmmm, this isnt working, so lets keep trying it" or "This is working, lets get away from it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jranieli Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 the play calling before the end of the first half was horrible. We have the ball with 2 minutes to go and we run panzy ass plays and of course give them the ball back. Run out the clock or do something better than 3 and out.

Sephiroth Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I thought the game plan was sound. Against the second best offense in the NFL, you play ball control... short passes... run Jacobs, wear 'em down, keep your D rested, and hope you're holding the ball in a close game at the two minute warning. We didn't execute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't execute. the game plan was sound but i think the situational playcalling was atrocious. i also think droughns should've gotten more carries in the first half to keep jacobs fresh for the 2nd half. i mean ward spelled jacobs a LOT when he was healthy and droughns has proven that he is a capable runner even in the role as a featured back, he's a great asset to have considering what we gave up for him so why not utilize him more? oh and i think the giants are absolutely retarded for designating droughns as the short yardage/goal line back. yeah when you have a guy like jacobs as a reserve and the starter is a guy like tiki barber it makes sense to use the big guy as the goal line back, but droughns is no better in this role as jacobs was last year and no better in any short yardage situation as jacobs is, so why do it?

You know, I don't really get that either... but it seems to have worked to this point, and I'm not gonna argue with success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 i think we are 3rd in the NFL in 3rd and short efficiency, and i can understand it cuz droughns is a bruiser too, but i just think we aren't playing our best hand in these situations and i really hope it doesn't end up biting us in the ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesta Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I was ripping my hair out when we were in no huddle last night running fucking draw plays with little time to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt believe what I was seeing. And like I said, it wasnt just lst night, its been like this all season in even the games we've won. The offensive play calling has been down right awful all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randoff Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I was ripping my hair out when we were in no huddle last night running fucking draw plays with little time to spare. Two things I cannot stand from the Giants playcalling. The 'Shotgun-hand-it to the RB play' AND the 'long drop back passes' when the Giants should be throwing quicker passes to Toomer or Shockey.

so-cal dub Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Whoever made the Spag av needs to make one with a cross hair over Gilbride's face. Then we could all put that one on when we lose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gateb Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 We used Plax terribly. Everytime there was a pass I saw him forty yards downfield blanketed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njsmalls Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I still think Gilbride is a little better than Hufnagel, but that isn't saying much. I wonder if in this offseason we keep Coughlin and hire a new OC? I wonder how would the Giants respond if Coughlin pulled a Fassel and started calling plays.

I just saw a clip of Gilbride as OC for the Houston Oilers getting punched on the sidelines by the DC. Perhaps Spags should give him a crack? Of course it would have to be an uppercut...
