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.
He has seen 0-2 under Tom Coughlin. He has seen 0-2 under Ben McAdoo, under Pat Shurmur, under Joe Judge. And now, he has seen 0-2 under Brian Daboll.
McAdoo, Shurmur and Judge didn’t make it to a third season. Daboll has.
