Change in attitude to deal with this rationally

EJJ : 10/13/2017 1:21 pm
I'm stating the obvious here but there's no way in hell the New York Giants are making the playoffs this year. As a die hard fan for over 30 years I live and die with the Giants every Sunday. whereas I do not root for them to lose honestly I'm not going to root for them to win now. until we secure a top three pick I hope they lose every game. I find it extremely hard to control my emotions even when they suck I still want them to win but I have to be realistic now.
This is an utter embarrassment to the franchise and to the fans. Honestly the worst they look and the more the Talking Heads humiliate them hopefully the Marras and Tischs will do the right thing and re organize the entire franchise.
no one expects us to win

therefor we will. who posted at the beginning of the season their friend was like "Sorry about the Giants man" -- when pressed he said, "yeah when the giants are expected to do well they always blow it"

You need to root for them to win, as a real fan.
The reality is you do not need to root for them to lose this year...there are about 10 more of those they will do on their own.Sadly.

"Castles Made Of Sand" (Hendrix)


Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
As she slams the door in his drunken face,
And now he stands outside and all the neighbours start to gossip and drool.

He cries "Oh girl, you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green.

And so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually.

A little Indian brave who before he was ten, played war games in
the woods with his Indian friends, and he built a dream that when he
grew up, he would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief.

Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong, until tomorrow
He would sing his first war song,
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong,
Suprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea eventually.

There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown,
Because she was crippled for life, and couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she would stop living, so she decided to die.
She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled

"You won't hurt me no more."
But then a sight she'd never seen made her JUMP AND SAY
"Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop...it just kept on going.
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea,
Eventually

Huh? As fans we support the team with our time and money, and expect that the organization will field a quality/competitive team. For most of the last several years we've watch the organization field a team that fell way short of expectations, and watch as they ignored the issues that were holding them back. Five games into this season we've seen the bottom fall out and the team implode; something unseen on a Giants team since the 70's. We can all see a sinking ship/dumpster fire and call it for what it is. My dad quit being a Giants fan in the 70's because of this shit (at which time he became a Redskins fan). I'll still bleed Giants blue and root for them to win every game, but I also recognize this team is going no where this year. And that is really frustrating when you consider they were suppose to contend for another possible championship.

Yes, we should all take our cues from Penn State fans. Never quit supporting your team no matter the circumstances!

For two weeks people have come to a football site whining about how much they hate football, they become tedious after awhile for fans that still don t hate the game

By the way if the Giants do draft Barkley, I better not catch you cheering for him when he makes a play. He went to Penn State you know.

But maybe you re ahypocrite like so many of the other name callers on this site

I mean some here call Cam Newton a skum bag and then a week later denegrate all women with their language

I'm gonna go get the papers... get the papers

mdc1 : 10/13/2017 4:26 pm : link
the guys that want to win step up and show change and improvement and the guys that are of a cynical losing cultural mentality to hit the injury ranks and find a new role SOMEWHERE else. I think losing has become part of the DNA and last year was a defense that carried the whole team all year and not a fully functional team.

Not fighting any fight. But I have always had a difficult time of knowing how to deal with immaturity such as you display.

As many do here, when you read a post with which you disagree and lacking the ability to make an objective counter point, you yell scream and call names, hoping to distract people from your deficiency.

I made a valid point that there are many people on a football board who continue to come here to share how much they hate football or how they won t watch the Giants. I find their attitude to be reflective of a quitter which is fine, to each their own. But they forfeit in my eyes any legitimacy in calling the team quitters.

Your only response is I m a Penn State fan. Well done.

By the way, notice you had a difficult time countering the hypocracy of your buddy.

Your go to move. Back to Penn State. You re more of a one trick pony than MacAdoo

I m not questioning you or anyone else s loyalty to the team.

It s just that so many come to a football board to tell us they aren t watching football anymore.

Fine, but that is quitting as a fan for the season and I get it.

Just don t turn around and say the players quit. Personally I son t think most of them will, just undermanned

What’s amazing is that they have pulled this crap off with a real quarterback at the helm. Most teams this bad have no QB
