Coaches get too much credit and too much blame, especially at the pro level. It’s generally the players at that level.
First 3-4 games we threw too much...last few games we have run Jacobs a lot.....and he has been a beast.

That is coaching.....not to mention the DC dropping our 2 best pass rushers into the EZ and letting Kyler scramble around until he scored the go ahead TD.

COACHING MATTERS.

Of course it matters, just not as much as some seem to think.

That team isnt a lot different than last season.....

Judge was horrible.
They have a stud top 6 overall pick on each line. That’s huge.

Yeah never mind a whole bunch of 1st rounders up front, a healthy Barkley and a maturing Jones.
Can you explain the "whole bunch of 1st rounders up front"? 1st round picks don't always work out, and the Giants were ass last season. Daboll is actually proving to be a very good coach in his short HC career, so far.

No doubt doing a good job. I brought this up while saying you can’t fire any coach at this level after only one season, unless they are an idiot like Urban Meyer. Can’t deny that the Giants coach came into a situation with a ton of recent high draft picks, a now healthy superstar rb and a maturing qb. Just how the nfl works. He seems to be doing a good job.

Eh, again, there's a lot of situations where high draft picks don't work out, and most coaches would fail going into the situation that the Giants have. Jury is still out on Daniel Jones as he's into his 4th year and hardly an elite QB, let alone average. And in terms of Saquan, it's great that he's healthy and having a great season, but he's not the sole catalyst for the Giants success.

And in terms of the positives, I can't even point out a WR on the Giants roster, so the fact that the Giants have the record they do without a plethora of offensive weapons makes it all the more impressive.

Raise your hands if you though a third of the way through the season that the NFC East was going to be the most competitive division?
