I'm getting the sense with all the Giant fans I talk to, hearing the most recent episode with Eric and John, and the overall mood of BBI, fans have had it.
Sick of losing. Sick of losing specifically to Dallas and Philly. Frustration with crappy QB play. Tired of seasons being over by Halloween. Overall apathy regarding any game specific talk.
It feels like this franchise is in another serious crossroads. I only see it getting uglier this season.
The fans have all had it. No one wants to hear about patience or being gaslit anymore from NYG media.
Anyone want a Jones jersey?
Only thing that will appease an outright revolt is heads have to roll.
That is one thing Mara has learned, maybe the only thing he has learned.
The gaslighting by Giants state media makes it way worse.

Burn it in the parking lot and post it online.
People have insinuated that it's way harder to legally get a plane or blimp or whatever in the airspace these days, which seems believable for a number of reasons. A billboard on the NJ Turnpike, however....
The appearance that they saw an urgent problem that needed to be addressed at QB given Jones's performance and injury history, only to ultimately back off that stance and return for this season with a worse QB room than they had last year really set me off.
Once we made the Nabers selection, the rest of the draft was ruined. I also did not enjoy Hard Knocks and thought Schoen came across looking clueless.
The Daboll/Wink thing bothered me more from Daboll's perspective as well. First off, I never believed the issues between he and Wink were ALL Wink's fault. There are some stories about Daboll in prior spots that lead me to believe he can be an asshole. It was hard for me to see that what happened with Wink after the season wasn't a case of Schoen and Daboll teaming up on the guy outside of their inner circle.
When I heard that Schoen had to listen in on Daboll's gameday communications it was a huge red flag. That is not what successful organizations are having to waste time on. Also, when it comes strictly to football, maybe it was a mistake to think Daboll is smarter or has a better handle on his side of the ball than Wink did.
Year 2 got started with obvious missteps in final roster selection i.e. Eric Gray/Jameson Crowder. We got blown out at home to start the season, the punt returner mess, Ezeudu at LT, sticking with an injured Gano for the Jets game in miserable weather, etc. and the kicker is, Daboll has come out this year and repeated at least 3 or 4 of these miscues so it tells me he's stubborn.
Year 3 and going nowhere fast.
This regime is 1-10 against Dallas and Philly. They are on their way to 0-6 in the division. It is year THREE of the regime.

I was there this afternoon. In line, I was behind a guy in his 70s wearing a NYG hat.
I asked if he was a Giants fan. He said yes, since the 60s.
We exchanged where each of us is from.
I wondered how he felt about the current team. His response, and I'm paraphrasing...
"They are impossible to watch. I stopped watching a few weeks ago after Dallas...I've been going with my wife to Colonial Williamsburg on Sundays to check out the art and get lunch. Better than watching Jones, right?..."
I laughed and said I know all too well... ;)
When the numb nuts show up here and moan the negativity of some fans has killed this site, I laugh. At least we have the energy. Unlike all the positive fans who you'll never dee in this bar again.
It's just sports, but it's kinda sad.
It's the years. The Giants are throwing away years of football through errors that we have not only been narrating as they occur, but predicting before they are made.
It's astounding to me that there could be a single fan left imploring us to "let it play out"...
No. That time was over years ago.

bottom line is i take all emotion out of it and do not feed into the prevalent narrative just to please the current wave. you may or may not like it. all good. enjoy the rest of the season.
These guys love the word "narrative". What narrative? 1-10 against Dallas and Philly. Jones hasn't thrown a TD at MetLife since the 2022 season.
You got it, it's all just a big narrative.
It is probably good to remember that BBI isn't exactly a full representation of the fan opinion.
*less* people are attending, but it's not like saints fans wearing bags over their heads or anything like that.

What complete nonsense from Dottino.

Everyone has had enough,except the fans that go to the games and spend big bucks on concessions and their biggest profit beer. Until fans speak with their wallet why should things change. It is a business. Doing very well. You want to say, why should I eat my tickets. You can still go. Just don’t buy food or beer.

I am ok with not drafting a QB with the number 1 pick.
To think that Jones would play well and last the whole season was a risk not wortgh taking.
I live overseas, it's great I get the 40 minute version of games, this last game I didn't even do 5 minute highlights.
P.S. anybody want Munich tickets?
But, I'm fed up with the noncompetitive play. I canceled my NFL+ subscription. I'll watch the games on national TV, which will probably only be 2. I'll go play pickleball on Sunday afternoon otherwise.
I believe in Schoen and the process and I really want to like Dabs, he seems legit. But my god the QB and some of the bone headed stubborn senseless choices they keep making are not something I can follow along with right now.
42 years in and this is where I am. Turning back onto the Yankees.

"Narrative".
There have been a slew of morons that accuse critics of the Giants as having a narrative over the years. And yet now here we are.
Dottino has got a lot of balls to say that. He's out of line.
It is soul crushing that our QB depth chart is Jones-Lock-DeVito. Like, WTF are we doing? Are we even trying to compete? And if not, why the fuck should I waste my time watching this team? I obviously post on BBI. I listen to 'Inside BBI' & other Giants related podcasts. But wasting a Sunday afternoon watching this shit with Jones? No. Not anymore.

I've listened to every 'Inside BBI' podcast except one. The one with Dottino. He's a clown of the highest order. Throw in Papa & Banks too.
I don’t even care about winning playoff games or Super Bowls at this point, I just would like to have some hope in the team past December 1.

I'm with you. I worked outside last Sunday instead, it was a beautiful day. Watched a couple of other entertaining games.
Tiki Barber said on his radio show that Daniel Jones is a great kid. He's a leader, he's a grinder, he's first in and last out every day. He does everything you'd want a quarterback to do — except ball.
I don't hate DJ. He's had his chance, it hasn't worked out, it's time for a new guy. But the team is unwatchable these days. Shake me and wake me when it gets watchable again. Until then, there are beautiful fall days to enjoy, chores to do around the house, and Knicks basketball.
But the team is losing life long fans that may decide to sit out in the future.
Tough spot for the fans.
