Brian Daboll must find way to steer Giants from nightmare scenario
NY Post
CLEVELAND — It wasn’t Brian Daboll who said, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”
But on Sunday at Huntington Bank Stadium against the Browns, Daboll confronts an old familiar fork in the road that has led to too many dead ends for recent Giants teams and regimes.
One bad turn deserves another on the Road to Oblivion.
A Woe-and-3 start would set Daboll and the Giants up for a doomsday scenario Thursday night when the Cowboys come barging into what would be a seething MetLife Stadium … if not taunting Jerry World East.
John Mara has seen 0-2, knows what 0-2 feels like, knows where 0-2 can lead.
He knows better than most that it can get late early around here.

Of course this is not 2018, this deadline does not represent a sea change in philosophy resembling that one. But, just as seven years ago, the hierarchy — different general managers, same CEO — is not homing in at making a run at eighth place at the expense of acquiring future assets in exchange for expiring contracts.
