Bowles is the biggest part of the problem, not the solution.

Yeah, but that time, I didn't like who he asked.

The mistake was not chaining one of them to a radiator in Florham Park to maintain overwatch on the children they advocated hiring.

My issues with Bowles mostly have to do with in-game strategy, which, imo, was very passive and weak. The lockerroom? Eh, I don't see how anyone could make that group of under-performing veterans any better, except by getting rid of the players they are jettisoning.

So, I agree with Big Blocker about this season saying more about Bowles's leadership capabilities. He has no more excuses: there is no win-now requirement; he's had two years as a head coach, so there's no 'lack of experience' excuse either. And, he'll have mostly "his" guys, so he has to show he can get players to perform to their potential.

 

I generally agree but would have said on the last sentence that he needs the players to perform at a level reasonably related to their potential.

Without going past the surface, I'd think if nothing else the last 24 months indicate this sure as hell isn't true.

Also, I've been to quite a few road games and visited a lot of major cities.  New York is not like any other, and the idea that Times Square is New York is absurd.  Times Square is a carnival for tourists.

Most New Yorkers avoid Time Square. I know I do.

I live with an 20 minute walk and think it's been over 2 years since I've been there.
