The Giants and Jets look headed in different directions after their quadrennial meeting at MetLife Stadium.
head coach also has lost his two best quarterbacks, his entire offensive line and — given how this season has unfolded — probably the keys to his awesome blue pickup truck. But mojo isn’t something that disappears into the sideline medical tent with an ACL tear or a dislocated shoulder.in the history of this uninspiring rivalry.
Daboll had a chance to go for the kind of moment that might have galvanized his team, and instead, he blew it. Gano missed the field goal, Wilson and the Jets improbably rallied to tie the game and win it in overtime, and Daboll had the worst loss of his coaching career. So Daboll, at least, hasn’t lost the Giants locker room with a 2-6 record. But he lost a major opportunity, and the shame of it is, Daboll largely became such a fan favorite in his rookie season because he seized moments like this.
“I would’ve done the same thing,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said when asked about Daboll’s decision to try that ill-fated field goal. Saleh knows he escaped despite his own team’s spirited attempt to throw this game away with turnovers and stupid penalties. Daboll, meanwhile, faces two months of meaningless football.. That doesn’t explain the roster decisions at quarterback. Tyrod Taylor is among the league’s best quarterbacks when healthy, but he’s struggled with injuries throughout his career.
