Interesting how losing changes this site...

That�s Gold, Jerry : 11/15/2017 2:38 pm

not just in terms of the various posts which no longer have anything to do with the upcoming games but, normally, if we were still in it, Eric would have posted about today's practice, tweets about practice, injury report and so forth.

Today, there is nothing...save Sy's lamentable game review.

I am sure I am like many...like it is hard to get through the week because I am not looking forward to Sunday...what, to see us get our ass wiped again! At least, say McAdoo had been fired or Reese fired, there might be some excitement to see how the players respond and so on.

Man, I fucking hate losing...Mara says no one is more upset and disappointed than he is. Seriously, I doubt that...

Good news

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I heard the practices have been great this week.

Why would you doubt that?

He's the President, CEO and Co-owner of an organization that invested a lot of money into a crap product and is losing revenue as a result. I'm sure he's not very pleased.

It's not just the losing

it's the manner in which they are losing. Watching key guys like Jenkins and Apple just quitting on their team is just despicable. Are things going to change next year with a new young QB on the roster and a new coaching staff? Do we want these poisonous players back next year? The problem is that Jenkins can play like an elite CB but will he show up to training camp with a new attitude or will it be more of the same?

I am sure JM is just as upset if not more than we are

He is the head of this organization that is playing as bad as they have in over a decade despite having SB aspirations going into the year. I believe that he will blow it all up after the season and bring in a new GM, head coach, and make changes in the scouting department.

weary of all the threads about management and coaches, not to mention the 'trade/release everyone' mentality. Losing sucks, yeah, but this place is like a pitchfork and torch brigade. Everyone's got a right to bitch, sure, but the ones I feel for are the ticket holders.

Losing is one thing, but I think its the delusional nature of the

head coach, the apparent quitting by the players and all-around ugliness that has people disinterested in talking about this team in any way other than what changes absolutely need to happen.

Anyone want to talk

I feel badly for the ticket holders

Me. In a way I find the potential changes as a result of this season exciting.

Plus I still look forward to the Giants games and other NFL games for the weekend.

Of course not being a season ticket holder I don't have the time or cash invested. Emotional investment yes, but not the other.

Plus, I find a potential top 3 pick exciting. Unlike many here I think Darnold, Rosen or Allen could be the beginning of another era of good Giants Football.

Never been more apathetic about a season.

'03 wasn't even this bad.

I'm just sick of this team & I can't wait for the season to end.

What Bugs Me

Samiam : 11/15/2017 4:24 pm : link

Slightly off topic. I don't like it when people here root for the team to lose but I understand where it's coming from. I always root for the team to win no matter what's going on although the last 2 losses didn't bother me as much as other losses. What bugs me though is when people feel the need to come here and talk about what they did while the game was on like I care. Do whatever you want if you don't want to see the game but do you really need to come on a site where there are diehard fans of the team and tell us that you went to lunch with your wife or what you cooked that day?

There is losing,

Doomster : 11/15/2017 4:46 pm : link

and then there is really losing, with absolutely no chance of winning.....that is our state of affairs at the moment...

Wake me up

Don in DC : 11/15/2017 5:00 pm : link

when the draft order is announced. Until then, I will watch the games out of morbid tenacity and loyalty, but I can't even lament the losses much anymore. I see this as our chance to draft our QB of the future.

I just hope Mara doesn't fuck it up by failing to fire Reese.

On the bright side

RobCrossRiver56 : 11/15/2017 6:22 pm : link

My brother and I just bought tickets for Sunday off stub hub.

$55 each, lower end zone 5th row including parking pass.

They may suck but it is still the NFL, its a great opportunity to take kids at discounted prices.

Biggest change I noted...

Dan in the Springs : 11/15/2017 6:25 pm : link

was in the game previews. I probably should go back and look at older ones, but my recollection was that there was some analysis about the other team, some writing about the matchups and what the Giants might need to do to win the game.

The previews now have become just rants about how bad this team is. I'm not trying to call out Eric on this, because we all know he's a devoted fan and it must be difficult to keep the frustration out of the preview, just saying they don't read how I remembered them.

amen brother

Friend I work with was insisting

djm : 11/15/2017 11:11 pm : link

That 03 was worse. I pretty much laughed at him. Nothing was or is or will be worse than this season. The 03 Giants were 4-4. There was one month of games where going in to each was like a funeral. This season it's going to be 3 months. More than 3 months. And the bad games are even worse. I think my friend is still in shock.

This place has been impacted. Everything Giants has been impacted. When I see a fan wearing nyg gear I don't even know what to do now. It feels awkward. I'm not even wearing Giants gear and it's not because of embarrassment. This is different. I'm never really embarrassed. I don't even know what I feel now. I can't even describe it.

I always wear nyg gear

..I guess it's just me trying to block it out. It's just been a surreal season. I can't believe there is two months left.

expect more of same next season as likely be no changes
