Ok, who didnt bother watching the game yesterday?

GMAN4LIFE : 11/13/2017 11:52 am
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?

+1. These have been my sentiments exactly.
Benjamin McAdoo didn't watch the game yesterday.

But he taped it.
I left the bar at the end of the first

didn't get the game...  
BillKo : 11/13/2017 11:57 am : link
but have been doing for the last several weeks what I did yesterday.

Watched RedZone...when they cut into the Giants, I watch........surprisingly they showed quite a bit yesterday.
I haven't missed a snap since the 2000 season when I got my first DVR.

It was pretty hard not walking away from the game yesterday, let's see how more that I can take.
I watched. I'm not sure why, but

I watched.
My daughter had a hockey  
pjcas18 : 11/13/2017 11:57 am : link
game at 4:20, I'm the assistant coach, worked out perfectly.

She got her first hat-trick of her young career and I couldn't have been more proud.

Even the Giants getting debacled in SF couldn't dent the pride.

I wait all year for Giants games  
Bold Ruler : Mod : 11/13/2017 11:59 am : link
We're going to be talking about personnel and coaches all year...so I watched the whole thing. What was telling to me was on the huge SF bomb for a TD all I could do was laugh. Honestly chuckled out loud and a big sigh.

Sounds like a far better use of your afternoon than watching the 2017 NY Giants

arcarsenal : 11/13/2017 11:59 am : link
This was the first game I watched 0 minutes of in as long a I can remember.

Half the team looks like they've quit - why am I going to waste my time?
I'm still watching, but using Sunday's  
aimrocky : 11/13/2017 11:59 am : link
as a social event. We had the family over for Sunday lunch, and spent more time shooting the breeze and boozing than paying attention to the minor details. BSing during the games is the only way to make it palatable right now.
I mean, it's one thing to be bad  
Greg from LI : 11/13/2017 12:01 pm : link
Playing hard and just getting your butt kicked is no fun, but at least it's an honest affair.

They're clearly just going through the motions now (and barely even doing that). I don't care how much McAdoo sucks - be a professional and do your incredibly well-paid job.

Ha Ha, I did the very same thing on 3rd and 33 last week. I literally told my daughter Amber the Rams are going to try and throw a short pass and pick up some yardage to just get a shot at a FG if they can but watch the Giants blow it and give up a big play. As it was happening I just started laughing.
watched in last night  
AnnapolisMike : 11/13/2017 12:06 pm : link
on NFL game pass. Managed to avoid the score...wish I had not watched it.
I watched it for lack of nothing better to do.

But dosed off for the entire 2nd quarter.
was out at an event for most of the first half - watched the end of  
Del Shofner : 11/13/2017 12:07 pm : link
the first half and saw Jackrabbit not try to tackle Celek - that was that, changed the channel.
I watched,  
Mad Mike : 11/13/2017 12:07 pm : link
but after awhile I was barely paying attention. Didn't leave or turn it off, but it was pretty much background.
Hold up.

You had already quit on the team as a fan before the season opener when we were still predicted to be a Super Bowl contender?

I was at a gathering from 5:00-8:00 last night  
lawguy9801 : 11/13/2017 12:11 pm : link
We were sitting in the living room, the TV was on and I was watching out of the corner of my eye, but my focus was on actually having an enjoyable time with nice people, not watching a bunch of highly paid assholes who don't care about me or any other Giants fan enough to give a full effort. Not arranging my life around Giants games for the rest of the year, unlike basically every other football season in my life, ever.
I actually went to the Redskins-Vikings game yesterday  
Maximus, Esq. : 11/13/2017 12:14 pm : link
and it was an absolute pleasure watching two NFL teams play against each other for a change. And the Vikings won which made it especially enjoyable. I didn't bother watching 1 down of our shitbags. I just post-game tailgated in the Fed Ex lot.
I Never Understood The Purpose of These Types of Threads...  
Jim in Tampa : 11/13/2017 12:14 pm : link
You know the ones I'm talking about, the "I don't watch the NFL as much as I used to, how about you?" types of threads or in this case...

"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?

Agree with this. Any thread that encourages discussion should be bannable.
I watched the entire game.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 11/13/2017 12:17 pm : link
Aided with copious amount of beer. Memory started getting fuzzy in the 3rd quarter.
I'm with Houston Giant.  
Red Dog : 11/13/2017 12:20 pm : link
Haven't watched a full game yet this year - any NFL game. And won't.
I flipped between the Giants game and other games.  
Keith : 11/13/2017 12:21 pm : link
I also went out and threw the grill on, played with the dogs. Normally, I would never do that during a Giants game. Like someone mentioned earlier, its not just because they are bad, they aren't giving the necessary effort. Nor will I.
Maybe they should, instead, televise the practices....  
Doomster : 11/13/2017 12:30 pm : link
I have it on good authority, that they have good practices every week...

Daughter in DC, found a bar showing it and watched the entire game! Like others here, many times laughing out loud. Haven’t missed a game in over 30 years.
Watched until the opening kickoff went out of bounds.

Anyone who didn't watch is a fucking pussy.

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?
We wait from Jan- Sept for a meaningful game  
BLUATHRT : 11/13/2017 12:45 pm : link
and even though these games aren't meaningful for playoffs, they are for the future of our franchise. So, I watch.

Danny Kanell : 11/13/2017 12:46 pm : link
I watched mainly because I don't know how much longer we'll have Eli and I want to be able to watch as much of him as I can. At least he fucking cares.

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.
I followed along on my phone...  
Jan in DC : 11/13/2017 12:52 pm : link
I was annoyed when they were winning, but McAdoo came through for our draft status in the end.

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 did watch the game yesterday, in a bar at that  
Post Time : 11/13/2017 12:58 pm : link
But I did not watch the previous week, when I was in San Diego for the Breeders Cup. Hopped in my rental and spent the day hiking in the mountains. Afterwards, when I saw the score, was very happy with my decision.

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
