THE NEW YOURK GAINT COACH DROPS A MESSAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIAL TO TEAM/FAN....

Brian Daboll won’t be winning back-to-back NFL Coach of the Year awards.

Daboll had an outstanding first season as head coach of the New York Giants, but Year 2 isn’t going well. The Giants are 2-6. Some things are out of his control, like being down to his third-string quarterback Sunday, but he made a key decision that backfired and led to a loss to the New York Jets.

The Giants melted down in the final 1:26 of regulation. That’s when they took over at the Jets’ 26-yard line. It’s nearly impossible to lose when you lead by three points, have first-and-10 at the opponents’ 26-yard line and the opponent has just two timeouts remaining. The Giants managed to lose in that situation.

The Giants had a fourth-and-1 and called timeout with 28 seconds left. Instead of going for it, the Giants opted for a field goal. In bad weather, Graham Gano missed from 35 yards out. You have to hope your kicker won’t miss a 35-yarder, but it still was a questionable decision.

Daboll said he wanted to take a six-point lead and make the Jets score a touchdown. The Jets’ offense had done very little to that point. But after the field goal miss the Jets hit two 29-yard passes, spiked the ball with one second left and kicked the tying field goal. The Jets won in overtime.
