Hurry up is the only time Haskins looks even remotely comfortable 

Bench his lazy ass. I’ve seen enough. He’s not ready and never will be. 

Will do. He’s one of my best friends from high school and law school. As you can imagine, life got in the way and he had other stuff to do. I know he still holds this place close to his heart.

I bought that book as part of the short lived ES book club at IHeartskins' recommendation.  Hope he's doing well these days. My God, if there is a more depressing book written I haven't read it.

he’s doing well. Wife and three kids in Brooklyn. I’ll send your regards. 

Some of you need to look more carefully at the scheme before we criticize the player.  We are running the most vanilla of defensive schemes, especially upfront.  We are making it as easy as possible for opposing QBs.  Look back at the tape on the third and long situations where Philly converted (either first downs or long TDs).  You will essentially see a three man rush with everyone dropped into soft zones.  No stunting up front no blitzes with any imagination, no disguise of what's coming.  A huge, huge part of the lack of production from the D-line relates to the positions they have been put in.

Bye Mcadoosh!!!

I'm sad to see him go--great head coach, and I was hoping he'd stay in NY for a long, long time

Report: Greg Hardy arrested for possession of a controlled substance http://tw.nbcsports.com/MT2b 

His story is great--he passed around his wallet and that's how all the baggies of coke got there.  Ya know, that old chestnut.

I couldn't be happier that they got rid of Coughlin and kept Reese.  Coughlin is a hall of fame coach, IMO.  Reese is not that good at his job.  It's a great scenario for us--the Giants will be in disarray for years and will soon need a brand new QB.

Overall, that's certainly a fair assessment. But hit year, he cost his team I believe 3 games with just mind-glowingly idiotic clock management decisions. 

 

I can't cry a lot of tears for coach getting fired after going 19-29 the last 3 years, 4 years without the playoffs and the comedy of errors he put forth this year. Though reese should really be going bye-bye with him.

That's true, but if this were any other franchise where the coach had taken them to two super bowl victories in less than a decade, there would be a street named after him.  Giants fans are an odd bunch.  I can almost guarantee they won't find a coach as good as Coughlin, and with their GM, it wouldn't really matter if they did.

When Andy Reid IV leads Philadelphia Eagles to their first SB, he will have a job for life.  Much less two!

 

Aren't all his kids in jail??  I know, that's in poor taste, but your point is well taken.  This is a coach who took two wild card teams to the Super Bowl and won as a heavy underdog both times.  Any other coach would have a statute outside the stadium. 

Wow--kind of shocked by the Coughlin resignation, since I'm sure it was essentially a sword of Damacleus like scenario, where they essentially said you can resign or we can fire you.  The person who deserves the heat is the GM, Reese.  Massive parts of that team (secondary, LB, ST, offensive line, RB) have been neglected for years.

Coughlin is an absolutely top notch coach.

Gloryhole...we found it!

Jeruah is gonna be spending the offseason at the gloryhole--as usual.  

Therein lies the issue. There is NO accountability for officiating. They can do a terrible job and nothing happens.

 

The NFL needs to overhaul its officiating. They need to hire young, fresh blood. All these guys now are so damn old. How in the hell do they keep up with the speed of the game? I also think years of reffing has them biased towards/against certain players, teams, coaches, etc. It may be slight but it absolutely exists.

 

I don't think there is any sort of league wide conspiracy, but refs can absolutely be biased or feel the pressure to make a call to favor a certain team because of the home crowd or any other factor. I mean you have guys like Hoculi who you KNOW try their hardest to be in the spotlight as much as possible.

The biggest problem to me over the years has been the move toward more and more subjective officiating that is a natural consequence of rule making that is impossible to get right at the speed with which the NFL game moves.  Every time a receiver gets hit hard over the middle (except last night's Cincy game where a Cardinal player blatantly speared Green and it wasn't called), 10 flags get thrown regardless of whether the hit was clean or not.  The problem with the NFL these days is not so much the refs (they were always mediocre at best), but that these subjective and impossible to interpret at game speed rules have made each game an exercise in subjectivity.  Defensive holding is a prime example.  It's a penalty that could get called on every play of the game.  Instead of being a simple five yard penalty, which it really should be, it's an automatic first down.  That's a huge momentum shift.  Same with defensive pass interference, same with every unnecessary roughness call on a QB sack.  The game has become impossible to officiate, and therein lies the biggest problem.  Yes, some officials and their crews are better than others and some are worse (Boger has always been a total hack), but the issue to me is not so much the officiating but the rules that the refs are asked to enforce and the judgment calls they are forced to make.  Goodell has set up a system where the refs are destined to fail and determine the outcome of games and that's really, really unfortunate for the players and the fans.

That's the worst part of this... Really should be 3-1 now.

Agreed--that was a game we should have had.  Chalk it up to a growth experience.  I'm pretty pleased with 2-2, although I wanted to see much more of an effort against the Giants.  If we kickstart them to another super bowl after their most recent 0-2 start, I will be livid.

Damn, wish I saw this thread before starting a new one.

 

 

I've never been a huge Bruce Allen fan, but these challenges have just tossed me off the cliff.   I now know he's the current roadblock in the Skins return to glory.

Don't fool yourself.  The roadblock of which you speak has been and continues to be Danny Boy Snyder. 

Thanks for the link. Fantastic!!!

This always makes me feel better: **** DALLAS!!!!

OMG! This is the funniest thing I've ever seen!

Thanks for the congrats---law school really did suck and I'm glad it's over!

Nice picture, Iheart--we really do need to work on our tans--but, not until July 27 or in your case, the 28th (NJ sucka!!!) By the way, if I wasn't so exhausted from this damn bar studying, I'd go off on a real sean taylor--front office rant--but, I'm too tired, so it'll have to wait until the end of july--but, it will be classic angry cliff, i promise!
