If anyone ever determined the course of a team based on preseason perceptions, the Giants would have signed Ben McAdoo to a long-term extension in August and Todd Bowles never would have made it to the opening kickoff in Buffalo.
Instead, as the Giants sit at 1-8, ownership felt a need to send out a statement proclaiming McAdoo’s job is safe, at least until the end of the season regardless of how the rest of the season shakes out.
And how has it worked out for Bowles?
Quite well, actually. And that’s something considering his team has lost four out of five and comes off a perfectly unwatchable 15-10 loss to the Bucs.
