Be honest, were you hoping the Giants lost/tied?

No question.

to fire the entire staff.

Mara probably hangs onto Mac and Reese now. Stubborn.

I have never rooted for a Giants loss, and I wont start now.... let the chips fall as they may... we were never gonna end up 1-15, nor will we be 8-8.. If the next GM wants a qb bad enough they will trade up... shit, take Mayfield wherever we pick.

and was curious how Ray was going to factor in the tie. Wasn't hoping for a loss or a tie. I'm just glad it was competitive.

wins mean nothing at this point. Wins give mara more reason to keep mcadoo/reese...wins cost us precious draft positioning!

no one will remember this pick in 2 months...

this is who you want leading the franchise for the next 15 years?

the Giants compete really hard, mostly play well, but lose. But I can't lie, I got excited when Lewis caught that ball.

Maybe it would have been the genesis of a franchise rebirth.
Now I'm getting excited again (help me God) that they beat Washington.

If you cannot figure out a strategy that doesn't include the first pick i don't know what to tell you.

confidence

Logical or not, cannot root for losses.

I don't watch football to see my favorite team lose, and I've seen too many #1 busts to think that out-sucking the Browns is a real solution.

Even running the table ought not mean all that much for Jerry and Mac Sully.


Players, yes.

It's long term stuff with an extensive pile data.

Mixed feelings definitely

can't help but get excited when good things happened... but overall am not excited about the win.

unless you guaranteed me big changes would happen regardless.

js

is when a team is undefeated and you know they need a reality check in order to go on a championship run. The draft is a crapshoot.

and it would be great to beat the skins, eagles and/or cowboys. I'm a Giants fan(short for fanatic). My expectations for each game has certainly been lowered. But why give up and root for a high draft pick when so many are busts? I started following the Giants in the 50's and have been a fan throughout their ups and downs. I never tune in to watch them lose. Hope springs eternal and today was " any given Sunday"

part of me wanted a loss because I want them to clean house and get an exciting high draft choice, but part of ALWAYS wants a win, and after this shitshow of a season, part of me just doesn't care anymore...

The win, come April, will be more negative than positive. Imagine drafting Johnathan Ogden instead of Cedric Jones back in the day. Meaningless wins hurt more often than not in the end.

If we lose out on a franchise QB because we go 2-14 instead of 1-15 I wonder what people here will think. But you'll have your slightly elevated mood on one day in your life.

History is filled with mediocre QBs taken #1 overall. Heck, the Chiefs are rolling with such a guy after he couldn't cut it with his last team.

Never.

And it sucked.

And I understand nothing is worse then a 6 or 7 win season,not really competitive not a impact high pick. But I cant root for them to lose.

I jumped up when Jenkins came down with both picks and on lewis's catch. I had fun today and want to win Thursday, but at this point the losses wont hurt as bad

Than Sy ‘56. He’s probably forgotten more football than I’ll ever know, which is impressive given my own football IQ. He said today’s game would be closer than we all thought and he was spot on. He’s also said that Webb is not in the same class as both Darnold and Rosen. Eli is 37. Webb, if you believe Sy, likely won’t be the long term answer at QB. ESPN was a Dak/Wentz circle jerk this AM and how they’ll duel for division supremacy for the next decade. The NYG need to get Rosen or Darnold. The alternative is looking up at both Philly and Dallas for the duration of their careers. I’m hoping they lose out.

" The alternative is looking up at both Philly and Dallas for the duration of their careers. I’m hoping they lose out."

Another alternative is maybe the Giants could sign Kirk Cousins to a long term deal.

I’ll take the win but a loss is much more important than a win at this point. They played inspired football on defense with some rhythm on offense not seen lately and much less 2/3 second clock count downs.

Now before certain posters start saying I’m falling for the espn hype, I’m not. But without a legitimate franchise QB to succeed Eli, the NYG will likely be hard pressed to win consistently enough. The last thing I want the NYG to become is the Lions, Bears, or Vikings who literally cannot win the North when Aaron Rodgers is healthy.

Let the Jets dabble in that QB market.

I wanted them to lose.

I can’t root for a loss. Whatever the draft pick is, fix the offensive line.

I don't root for losses. Plus, I am not convinced that any of the top 3 QBs are true franchise QBs.

Highly unlikely.

Rationally I know it is better if they lose but when the game was being played I can’t help but root for them to win

Anything that (potentially) hurts draft position or decreases the likelihood of a complete house cleaning is highly counter-productive.

There are a whole bunch of 4 win teams in the NFL right now. Those fantasies of Rosen or Darnold were pretty premature. With a few more wins, they could end up in the low double digits instead of the top 3. And who knows, maybe they'll even let Mac hang around.

In all seriousness, who the hell talks about themselves like this?

come to an end soon enough for me. I also want to pull up everyone I can from the PS and see what they have. That being said, I was hoping for a tie seeing that they were actually still in this thing at the end. How sad.

Many, many people have said that the Boss's football IQ is the highest and yugest they've ever seen. Years from now we will all look back and marvel at his football IQ.
