for 20 years, i have caught watched the Giant games from start to finish. Hell, i didnt care how bad they were. I just wanted to see who did well.
This year is a different story. This team is really really bad. Defense just doesnt care and offense is just not clicking.
so instead i finished up on stranger things, played with my girls(played dress up) and ironed my clothes for the week.
who else just gave up and not watching?
Anyone who didn't watch is a fucking pussy.
"I didn't watch the Giants game yesterday, how about you?"
It's as if some fans needed to have their decision to NOT watch validated by others.
Will the responses you get in this thread influence your decision as to whether you'll watch the Giants next game and if not, why ask?
never understood this response... i posted in here because (as a fan) i watched all the time. But was wondering if anyone else just gave up. Hell everyone could have told me no. But some did give up watching.
Does that answer your question?

Agree with this. Any thread that encourages discussion should be bannable.
That wasn't my suggestion and I'm sure you know that. I simply stated that I didn't understand the purpose of these types of threads.
And this thread hasn't really encouraged "discussion" either, unless you consider people posting whether they watched the game or not and if not, what they did instead as an actual discussion.

whats the difference to you though? again, you could just not come into the chat or just create another. im just saying that my purpose was to see what everyone else did or did you really give up? im surprised that some still watch. But they gave their reasons so its interesting.

It still seems like you (and others who start similar threads) are looking for other people to validate their decision.
If everyone said that they're still watching (or that they also gave up) would it influence your decision to watch or not watch next week's game?
In any event, I never suggested you shouldn't ask. I just said that I didn't understand the purpose of these threads. I certainly didn't mean anything personal.

i know but think of it on the other end... does come off as shitting on this thread.
all good. I made that decision to not watch so if everyone said they still do, i would listen but still not watch for my reasons.
but the reality is i knew some wouldnt
Watched RedZone...when they cut into the Giants, I watch........surprisingly they showed quite a bit yesterday.
+1.
Watched RZ until SF made it 23...got into a been there done that mode then a fuggedaboutit mode. Popped in just to see the Adams penalty on the Gallman run. A key screwup in a key moment...aka...what bad teams ...undisciplined teams do.
The NFL Playoffs used to be a traditional event in my house and was something really fun to look forward to. Since that CBA my interest in the league as a whole has gone downhill ever since, each and every year.
People are mentioning player’s names and I have no idea who these guys are. This Giants-49ers game was just a complete waste of time though. I think once that clown kicker for the Giants missed that FG, I knew where this was going. I went out and got something to drink, I turn it on and the Giants were down 31-13?!
Haha, how pathetic is that? You’re getting beat by more than two possessions by a terrible 0-9 team, LOL. The main issues about these Giant games (and even others, primetimes, playoffs) are they’re BORING. I can’t believe it was 2013, where under Coughlin and despite the bad it still felt like something special to look forward to. Hey, whatever it’s football. Nope not anymore. This team clearly doesn't give a single fuck.
And another LOL because that is all gone because the Giants and football are just almost unbearable. I guess the only thing to really look forward to is (which is pathetic) hoping the Eagles go one and done in the playoffs. That is really it.

The OP posted this because by being here it's assumed we're all diehard Giants fans, live and breathe Big Blue.
Because the season has gone so sideways and ruined all of our expectations, he's wondering if other people are as disappointed as he is and doing the unusual for a diehard fan and not watching their team.
not looking for validation of his opinion to see if it's ok, looking to see if others are equally as disappointed in the results to the point they've changed their normal viewing habits.

this
certainly do understand
The NFL is just sooo boring now. The Giants sucking adds onto it but the league has had a quality issue for years and felt that way even when we were 11-5.
woke up around 3am saw the score on the phone, laughed turned around the went back to sleep
Luck me..
REESE & McADOO must be fired!!!
THIS!!! I'm right with you.
I missed one game when the NFL network first started that is since 1963 .
I am not sure if I want to watch anymore but I know I will
this will be the worst season in Giants history there is no getting around it the trenches are holding up with duct tape
the weapons are minimal . We have no LB's a defensive backfield that is playing not to get injured no pass rush
little pass protection for an immobile QB who never quits or gripes while the last 7 years of what could have been a couple more rings fades into the sunset .
I really only watched football this weekend to see how my FF team is doing.
Have game pass so will watch it. Why I don't know.
Yeah I do. Being a fan for 60 years you force yourself. Makes the highs that much better.
I've seen it all from '63 on.
Living overseas, watching the Giants, shitty as they are, gives me a little bit of home.
Plus, where else can you find such high comedy?

CSPAN. *not political*
I disagree.
I had nothing better to do, so rather than watch Dallas I wanted to see just how bad it was-I missed the Rams game.
I think you're both lying.
