Jets should be an inspiration for Jints

Rocky Thompson : 10/17/2014 7:52 am
They went into New England with no offense to speak of, a decent front four but no support behind them and came within a blocked FG as time expired of beating the mighty Pats.

No reason we can't do the same against the Cowboys.

Similar situations, the Jets showed up motivated and took it to them.

We're better than the Jets, right?

Only this time Eli completes the pass for the extra 5 yards needed for Josh Brown and we come away with the win...

If we play inspired...

and lose by a blocked FG, I'm going to be as pissed as last week.

If we play mediocre and block a FG to win the game, I'll be ecstatic.
I understand HH  
Rocky Thompson : 10/17/2014 8:07 am : link

But we can't just keep saying we're better than the Jets, we 're actually going to have to prove it at some point. Jets came to play against possibly the best 2 teams in the AFC, we didn't bother to show up against Philly.
I'd really hate to get blown out by Dallas, shit like that bothers me. I'm just asking for a team that plays hard...

Point taken but I think that if we play mediocre, Dallas is more likely to be taking a knee at the end of the game than kicking a FG...
The Jets??

Are you happy with that?

Traditionally we are better than the Jets but the truth is they played better against Denver than we did against Philly. They played like a motivated team last night. Is it too much to ask from the Jints that they play at least as well as the Jets?

A few thoughts  
Matt M. : 10/17/2014 8:43 am : link
1) No offense, but i don't think a loss should be the object of our inspiration.

2) The giants should be motivated enough by a division game and their embarrassment last week.

3) Enough with the trophy cases, custom jerseys, etc. None of that has one iota to do with this year. Those tactics didn't work for the Giants last week and were an embarrassment for fans.

The same team that just got shut out in San Diego 2 weeks ago and had their QB complete like 4 of 12 passes for 20 something yards in the first half only to have their backup come in, play just as badly and then say he wasn't "prepared" to play?

Those Jets?

No thanks.

What we did last week is lose a game, badly.

I don't see the need to psychoanalyze it, nor do I see the need to long for the work ethic of a team that's 1-5. Their 1 win is against the fucking Raiders vs a rookie QB in his first start.

OK  
Rocky Thompson : 10/17/2014 8:55 am : link
One more time for those of you who's Vyvanse is just kicking in:

The Jets effort the past two weeks against possibly the best 2 teams in the AFC has been commendable. Our effort last week was deplorable. We face a daunting task this week against a Dallas team that just beat Seattle in Seattle.

Can we at least play as hard this week as the Jets have the past two weeks?
Is playing hard  
dep026 : 10/17/2014 9:04 am : link
one of the most over used cliches ever in sports? I believe the Giants played hard against Philly, they just didnt play well. I dont think there were anybody who was purposely dogging it so we would lose.

I dont think a single person on BBI know "how hard" players play. We can see that they didnt play well.

So hopefully this week the Giants play better so they have a better chance of winning.

Nah, everyone understands your point. The Giants could learn something from a team given no chance that ended up competing nicely. It's a pretty simple point to understand (and a very pedestrian one to make, quite frankly).

So with that in mind... we all get your point...

I'd much rather watch a hopeless team that will be starting over with a new head coach, likely a new QB, and a ton of cap space, go out and play hard and come close to beating two of the best QBs of all-time, one of whom has one of the best coaches of all-time and was at home, and the other is the reigning AFC champs and favorite...

than watch a team full of potential with (what we consider) a Hall of Fame QB and coach go against a division rival and get embarrassed and shut out for the fourth time since the beginning of 2012 when there have only been 7 other shutouts by the 31 other teams combined in that span.

Is the Giants a better franchise? Yes. Is this Giants team better than the Jets? Yes. Is this Giants team more capable of going on a run if they figure it out? Yes.

But for a terrible team, it seems like the Jets are far less likely to just get blown out of the water due to effort than the Giants.

Jon, it's a ridiculous way to try to make a thin point on here. Using the 1-6 Jets as an 'inspirational' example taking the really small sample size of the two most recent games/losses by both teams is a silly point anywhere. But on a Giants board it's hard to tell whether it's trolling or just sheer obtuseness. Which, frankly, is my reaction reading everything the OP posts.

Since the Jets suck, played hard and lost to a (so/so) Pats team the Giants could be inspired and, thanks to the Jets, now know if they play hard they could play better.

Wow, good stuff.

djm : 10/17/2014 10:18 am : link
they blew it as usual. They have the better OL and better DL than the Pats. GEno wasn't terrible but he wasn't great.

I thought Rex should have kicked off and not tried the onside kick late in the game. And My God that 2 pt conversion play was awful. I would have run the ball or done the QB draw. I hate the fade there with a young QB and TE to boot.

What people are failing to realize about the Jets is that they have TWO things we dont.

1. OL
2. DL

So while they dont have talent at any skill positions or in their secondary.... they were able to control both LOS in their last two games which made them look competitive. Why were they so good last night? They ran the ball extremely well. They had a lot of 3rd and short so they could convert. They kept Brady off the field for the majority of the night.

Their problem was they kicked FGs instead of scoring TDs, because once they got close to the goal line, the Pats loaded the box and dared them to throw (two holding penalties hurt as well).

The Jets are nothing special, and to say that they played with more effort is just throwing shit to the win to make it sound like you know what you are talking about. The Giants played hard against the Eagles, they just didnt play well.

And isnt it amazing it still comes down to the OL/DL that dictates how well you play?

You continue to claim some "get your point" and others don't.

As I said, literally everyone commenting here gets your point. It is the most simplistic point possible (See how they tried hard? We should try hard, too!)

But you made a comparison to the Jets knowing that, for better or worse, Giants fans usually have an opinion on them since they share a city and a stadium with us. You weren't trying to talk football. You were trying to be a dick and you succeeded. Then you got called out on it and are now pretending no one gets your shitty point.

How so? It's lazy, results-based analysis. The team got their ass kicked. Effort/fire/motivation are often used to replace detailed analysis. Did Rolle have effort on his pick but not other plays? Where was the effort lacking? I didn't see anyone give up.

And that takes a lot to make that list.

He's right. The Giants dont care. We had absolutely ZERO motivation to win last week. None. Zilch. Nada.

Anyone can look at a box score and make proclamations about effort level. It's easy, it's lazy and it's pointless.

I bet the Giants were trying really hard against Atlanta but decided they didn't need to in Philly in their biggest game of the year. Very logical. These guys collectively decided that they could just take the night off. The type of divisional rivalry that has a major impact on the season. Why try, though?

It's just so silly.

We got our fucking asses kicked because we couldn't protect Eli. We couldn't stop the A-gap pressure and we couldn't stop the edge rushers either. I highly doubt it had anything to do with not trying hard enough to do so.

When he says that, he's not referring to the actual "try" level of the players. He's referring to execution, failure to protect, failure to make a play defensively in the backfield when it's there to be made.

He's referring to the fact that we played like dogshit.

I just don't see what logical sense it makes to think that a team went out onto the field in a hostile environment, in a game that had plenty of juice against a division rival in the biggest game of the year to date... and decided not to try hard.

Why would that happen? Why would this team collectively say "hey, forget this one.. " ?

It just doesn't make any sense to me.

If you're going to make the claim, at least point to certain plays as an example. It's silly.

I think there are games where effort could be an issue - when teams are eliminated, for example. But in a game against a hated division rival that could significantly impact whether we make the playoffs or not? I'm calling bullshit.

Can't say I'd blame you if you decided to walk away from the Giants after this past week. Football is supposed to be entertaining, and that was anything but.

...however...

There seems to be some implication on your part that the Giants aren't trying. They sure as hell didn't look like they weren't trying up until Philly, and whatever that disaster was out there on Sunday, you can't simply point to effort or heart as a reason why they lost.

Fact is, Philly's a better team than NE (as much as I hate to say it). We've got a new offense with a few key injuries (Cruz going down didn't help the already reshuffled OL and Jennings being out). It's just as easy to point to us being outcoached as it is to being outplayed.

The worst thing you can do is football is take the short term view. It's easy to look at Sunday and say the team is gutless. Going up to Philly and losing wasn't going to be the end of the world, and it shouldn't be. How they respond to that is going to be a bigger indicator of their heart and motivation than last week's game ever would be.

T-Bone : 10/17/2014 11:57 am : link
there are some, like Rocky and Rolle, who will think that the Giants lost as badly as they did against the Eagles and chalk it up to effort. These folks appear to believe that because they believe that the Giants are a good enough team that they shouldn't have lost the way they did to the Eagles but did so because of a lack of effort.

Then there are some, like the rest of us, who believe that it wasn't a lack of effort that was the reason why the team received the ass-kicking it did but a lack of execution and maybe... just maybe... the Eagles are simply the better team RIGHT NOW. Doesn't mean they will be when we see them again on December 28th but for that night, they were the better team and it wasn't particularly close.

It's a matter of perspective and if Rocky and Rolle want to think that the team lost the way they did because of a lack of effort, he has a right to do so. Doesn't mean that we all HAVE to agree with him and he should be prepared for those that disagree with them and when they do insults and name-calling doesn't need to be part of it going both ways. Whether it be a lack of effort... or a lack of execution... let's all just hope that we see better of either or both this coming Sunday against the Cowboys.

I see no reason why Rolle couldn't say what your quote says above and feel just fine for saying it. Eli pretty much does it after every game. I also don't see why Rolle (and Rocky) MUST see it the same way some of us do or else they're wrong. It's their opinion and they're entitled to it. Everyone got on Rocky for his opinion and questioned how he, as a fan, can judge the effort the team put up last week... but when his opinion gets validated by a team leader's opinion it's 'Well, what do you expect him to say?'.

Again, really don't think you can expect that Rolle's boilerplate post-game comments are the end/all be all of what he thinks happened. He's saying what he always says. Because, what else is he going to say? 'We gave a great effort and they kicked our asses. That's the best we can do, so I don't know where we go from here.'

All he's saying is, 'We have to do better than that.' But ask him how inspiring he finds the Jets and see what you get.

Well then it appears you're seeing only what you want to see. Even though I actually AGREE with the majority here... and disagree with Rocky and Rolle's opinion that the team lost because of a lack of effort last week... I have no problem with them believing what they want to believe and I can see their point and yet still disagree with it. Usually whenever Rolle gives one of his quotes about the state of the team all I usually see it most saying 'I love Rolle!' and 'What a great team leader! Wish we had more of them!' and I've rarely seen someone say 'Well... what's he supposed to say?'... and yet, that's exactly what's occurring here because most don't agree with Rocky and Rolle's opinion.

If Rocky's opinion wasn't backed up by an actual player (and not just any player but a team leader) then I could see most everyone calling Rocky's opinion stupid, dumb, unfounded... whatever you want. But the fact that it was backed up by an actual player that tells me that maybe there's some merit to that opinion (even though I disagree with it).

kmed : 10/17/2014 12:24 pm : link
it was poor game planning and poor execution. That being said, once things got bad, i saw a lack of fight. They were defeated early and it made things much worse. Unless Rex Ryan can come and gameplan for this defense, there's absolutely nothing we can take away from the jets game.

It's what Rolle always says,

And 'Rolle STFU!' has been a BBI meme for some time. Everyone loves him on the field. But, at the end of the day , only about half the board gets invested in his words.

The intersection of Rolle's quotes with this thread isn't as significant as you're making it. It isn't significant at all. (And, again, you keep leaving out the whole 'Jets as inspiration' concept, which is the reason this thread exists.)
LOL!@ Brett  
T-Bone : 10/17/2014 12:31 pm : link
And yet, he's a team leader. You'd think that a guy who ALWAYS says the same things after a loss would eventually be seen as a phony to his teammates after repeating the same thing over and over again.

YAJ - Again, I see the 'oddness' in Rocky saying that we should be looking at a 1-6 team for inspiration but, again, it's his opinion that the Jets had more fight in them than the Giants did last week because of how they played against two of the better teams in the league... and a player happens to agree with him and validate his opinion. Again, if Rocky was alone with that thought it'd be one thing... but then he had Rolle agreeing with him and instead of thinking 'Hmm, well... maybe Rocky's point isn't so 'out there'.' it's now on Rolle... a player and team leader... who's opinion is discounted.

Whatever... I said what I had to say. I just know now that the next time Rolle makes a statement about the team I hope it's as quickly and easily dismissed as this one appears to be because it lines up with Rocky's thoughts.

I'm pretty sure players understand the long-established tradition of speaking in cliches and giving up very little in dealings with the media, and don't use that as a reason to change their opinions of friends and teammates.

Pretty sure his teammates understand that things said for media consumption are just that. I'm also pretty sure his teammates value what he says to them behind closed doors more than what he says to the media.

I'm really surprised you read boilerplate presser quotes as being super meaningful. More surprised you use them as validation for a premise you don't even believe in.

Love me some Rocky but if a player didn't back up what his thoughts are then I wouldn't have come to his defense on this subject.

"Rocky and Rolle", I like what you did there.

Makes no difference that Coughlin and Rolle validate what I say, you have vibe and the all knowing attack sheep telling you what should be right.
Rule #1 in engaging on BBI, never admit you are wrong, discredit the witness.

Coughlin says we were physically out matched, if you don't take that to mean a lack of effort by us or a better effort by Philly, the only other way it can be taken is by admitting Philly is stronger and better than we are.

The Jets analogy is legit. They got blown out by SD, came back and played better games against two better opponents. The Jints got blown out by Philly, if they come back and play better against Dallas, there's still hope, if not, well, good luck in Seattle boys.

I can see opposing arguments when they understand what I'm trying to say, most of the arguments are coming from posters that would argue with me if I posted "The sky is blue" or didn't like the Jet analogy.

I appreciate the level headed observation on your part, don't lose any friends over it, I never met a BBIer ( or 30) that I couldn't handle...

Someone joins his crusade. Needs friends wherever he can find them. Forget the fact Coughlin said we got out played and out executed. He said something along the lines of what it seemed to be effort but wasn't but I have to make it seems like he said effort because using effort is an effortless way of saying I made no effort understanding how little effort it take to understand comparing giants/jets effort in the game has nothing g to do with each other.

Like suggesting that everyone who disagrees with you is just 'sheep'? Over and over and over and over again? Because you can't really argue your way around the meaninglessness of what professional athletes and coaches say in their Press Conferences?

Irony is among the many things clearly beyond your grasp.

That's your own interpretation.

If we lost 27-14 instead of 27-0, does this thread exist?

Given the number of times Rolle has used passion/effort as an excuse (including in situations of competing with division rivals for playoff spots/positioning numerous times), does it seem likely that we lay down in big spots? Or, are we frequently just not good enough and inconsistent?

Was the line's dismal performance due to effort? Or did the Eagles scheme correctly and dominate an OL with a lot of issues?

Did OBJ, in his second NFL game and first prime time game, lack effort? There wasn't a player out there I thought gave up. They were just outplayed and outcoached. I didn't think McAdoo called a great game and did a poor job of adjusting to new looks by the Eagles. He's a rookie OC, that's expected. I expect him to adjust this week. But there wasn't a lack of effort.
