I feel hungover and I haven’t had a drink in 8 months

At this point I’m just sad. I’ll be even sadder if players request out

I think Saleh is a solid coach, but I wouldn’t be mad if he got fired after the season. Based on what a few players said after the game I fear he has lost the locker room, which is really hard to overcome. I would be more upset if JD got fired though. I also wonder what would happen to Hackett if Saleh gets canned.

Something I don’t see talked about enough: Mike LaFleur

It’s well known by now Saleh coaches one side of the ball. He brought over his own OC with him. While MLF has his own flaws, he did see success with Flacco and White under center but not Zach. A head needed to role last year (likely Woody mandate) and MLF was chosen. Later it came out that MLF “wasn’t nice/supportive” to Zach (paraphrase). Hence the confidence talk. Enter Hackett. Hackett was hired as an experienced OC although had his known flaws. Does anyone else remember who else was available as OC? It feels like an empty hiring cycle. Anyway, Rodgers goes down and Zach continues to not do well under Hackett.

What’s the alternative universe where MLF is still here? Do we see personnel changes? Do we see more creative offense? Do we see a Zach benching earlier? Remember, it was Hackett who pulled Zach, per Saleh.

I’m not saying the season is saved or anything but these domino effects are hard to ignore.

I honestly think that if the Giants/Jets had paid for a roof for metlife, we would have had better injury fortune. East coast weather elements + turf field is a recipe for disaster.

I’m okay with sitting Garrett and Breece the rest of the season. Make Lazard and Cook earn their salaries or cut them. Defense don’t need to ball out every series, D Line should play like turnstiles for a change. Avoid injuries at all cost, given how bad the MetLife turf is.
