So let me get this straight... #EliMannings streak comes to an end at hands of a coach that is fired 1 day after that decision??? That makes this whole debacle even worse!!! #EveryoneLoses —@kurt13warner
Not surprised by the @giants news today based on what has transpired this season, especially last week. It’s a shame & still leaves many questions —@ShaunOHara60
Thank you Mr. Reese & Coach McAdoo for all that you’ve done for this organization, my family, & for me. My family is very grateful for you guys believing in me and bringing me on board. Tough day for me. Loyalty is everything to me. —@BigDame900 (Damon Harrison)
The Mannings are the Corleone Family of Football. You don’t F with them. McAdoo and Reese sleep w/the fishes because Archie and Peyton wanted Eli to play the lead in Giants movie. #NeverSpeakAgainstTheFamily — @WhitlockJason
Told y’all a week ago that somebody was gon get fired in N.Y. You dont play with the Mannings Man! — @DeionSanders
Thank you Mr. Reese for drafting me in 2014. Wish you the best in whatever is next for you. . . . Last season was my first time making the playoffs and your leadership helped us get there so thank you Coach Mcadoo. I know you will bounce back strong with whatever comes next! @DevonKennard
Eli Manning really sacrificed his streak so that McAdoo and Reese could be fired. That’s my god damn quarterback —@WakaFlockaFleet
Fairly or otherwise, Ben McAdoo’s tenure as coach of the #Giants will be remembered for benching Eli Manning and nothing else. —@Espngreeny (Mike Greenberg)
