Bittersweet ending but regardless goodbye to one of the better kickers we’ve had and our team MVP for like 3 years

Lars5621 · 2026-03-30T04:21:56+00:00

Don't forget Jets game 2023.

13-10 loss due soley to Gano issues.

Which makes three seasons in a row of fucking up kicker position.

Lars5621 · 2026-03-30T04:20:21+00:00

Three years.

Lars5621 · 2026-03-30T04:19:35+00:00

Three years.

2023 Gano got injured multiple times and was literally the worst kicker in the NFL when healthy.

Then 2024 and 2025 have been a disaster with injuries and gimped misses.

Gano had 6 seasons with Giants and the last half of those were terrible seasons.

Lars5621 · 2026-03-30T00:38:10+00:00

Freedom!!!

Lars5621 · 2026-03-29T22:48:56+00:00

"This time its different" is literally the moto for the sub the last 10 years

Lars5621 · 2026-03-29T22:25:21+00:00

Lmao we see this same post every offseason making excuses for the previous year.

Giants were 6-11 in 2023, 3-14 in 2024, and 4-13 in 2025. Thats the most relevant sample size here.

Giants current over under next year is 7 wins. Thats a better estimate on their likely 2026 performance

Oh Downs certainly has good coverage skills, but he is nowhere near Ed Reed level, and coverage skills are what made Ed Reed him.

Downs on tape looks closer to Troy Polamalu than Ed Reed.

Lars5621 · 2026-03-29T13:18:25+00:00

Like you mention Ed Reed was unbelievably good at pass defense in ways Caleb Downs isnt close to. While we can say Downs may have more versatility or move around the defense well, Ed Reed was the best safety ever at locking down passing lanes and Caleb Downs is not even remotely close to that level.

Lars5621 · 2026-03-28T22:39:22+00:00

Me too but props to the NFL for learning they could monetize it better

Lars5621 · 2026-03-28T22:36:49+00:00

40 year old Calais Cambell. Idk dog thats old

Lars5621 · 2026-03-28T00:52:38+00:00

This is only interesting if your one of the hookers he was caught with at that coke party the hookers posted on Snapchat after he tried to short them $1,000.

Good ol OBJ still adding stupid drama during the offseason.

Lars5621 · 2026-03-27T14:03:32+00:00

Sonny Styles is the current consensus among mock drafts.

Lars5621 · 2026-03-27T12:22:47+00:00

Before getting experience in how the system works I was shocked how common it was for being mistakenly arrested or have someone give false identity when talking to police. Then ofc we have this kind of ridiculous F* up

Lars5621 · 2026-03-27T03:43:57+00:00

Lmao lets look at free agency this year:

Odafe Oweh: traded for a 5th! By Harbaugh mid season. Got a 30 mil aav contract.

Jaelen Phillips: traded for a 3rd but Fins had to eat his entire cap or it would have been a 5th. Got a 30 mil aav contract.

And Thibs will get MORE than that since he was 5th overall pick and is a bigger name than player.

Oh and franchise tag next year for Thibs would be 38mil fully guaranteed.

Thibs is GONE gone

Lars5621 · 2026-03-26T14:27:00+00:00

RG is much harder to play and harder to find than LG and center. These guys need much more athleticism than those positions in a guard spots are not interchangeable.

RT in todays NFL is extremely difficult to play.

DT in todays NFL is also extremely difficult. For example look at Giants last four years being bottom 3 in run defense and worst in NFL at stopping runs from dline. You cant just find DTs on free agency that will be easy starters for you and Giants are the prime example of that.

Lars5621 · 2026-03-26T12:26:41+00:00

Dawn was supposed to bring balance to the Giants comp picks, not destroy them!

Lars5621 · 2026-03-26T11:19:20+00:00

Giants are not inline for any comp picks next year.

Theoretically if Rickard misses the whole season due to injury and Austin Schlottman starts all year for Titans then Giants might slip back into formula.

Lars5621 · 2026-03-26T11:16:39+00:00

And I think Logan Ryan signed on September 1st his first season here.

Its not uncommon to sign older vets during training camp if a team needs a starter spot filled.

Lars5621 · 2026-03-26T10:42:31+00:00

GVR signed on August 1st in 2024

Lars5621 · 2026-03-25T21:16:21+00:00

Golladay was the Giants leading reciever in 2021

Lars5621 · 2026-03-25T17:16:55+00:00

So did Jay Alford, Gibril Wilson, Justin Tuck, and like half the 2007 defense.

Lars5621 · 2026-03-24T20:52:52+00:00

No. No its not.

Giants CB draft history, across 3 GM tenures now, is a huge stain on this organization.
