Whatever will be will be

Burt64 : 10/17/2018 9:02 pm
Reality: We are 1-5 and the playoffs are in serious doubt, if not over.

For the rest of this season, I’ve decided I’m going to cheer my a$$ off for #10.

Why? Because, in my book he’s earned that, if not more. He’s carried me and my family to the pinnacle of football highs.

Next season, whatever will be will be, but that’s a discussion for another day.

Is he a HOF’er... maybe. Will he be in the Giants Ring of Honor... without a doubt.

For now, let it fly #10

And who knows... stranger things have happened... 18-1
Cool

Nope, don’t wear that. Sorry to break it to you.

With all this draft this guy or that guy talk just thought it appropriate to. It lose sight of enjoying what might be the last season as one of the best giants QBs ever.

Call it old fashion, or lame, or move on, or continue to keep mocking if you like, it’s all good.

I am at the same place as you.

It reminds of seeing the GOAT Willie Mays, in his last MLB year with the Mets, tripping and falling to the ground going back on a fly ball.

I remember that day as my boyhood idol fell from that pedestal.

Eli is my adult idol and, well, you know the rest.

Maybe check the nfc east standings then re-read, or not.

Pretty much exactly where I’m coming from. Thanks for framing it better.

Maybe actually watch the Giants play and then re-write, or not.

Ha, I see what you did there. Nice one!
Oh Eli  
adamg : 10/17/2018 10:38 pm : link
Agreed....but would like to see this end Gracefully  
varco : 10/18/2018 6:40 am : link
Wholeheartedly agree that Eli is right up there with Connerly, Tittle, and Simms as the best Giants QB's....and probably at the top of that list. Ring of Honor, for sure....HOF, should be.

However, I would hate to see this end in injury (ala Tittle) or humiliation (ala Willie Mays). Would like to see a situation where, with Giants out of it, perhaps late in the season, Eli wins a game for us late and decides to phase himself out gracefully. He's been too good a player, teammate, and person for too long to see him go out on a downer. Let him walk away with his health and pride intact and on his own terms.

Since how we behave on our couches have no impact on the outcome might as well root for the team and #10
Go E!

Eli will definitely be in Ring of Honor, HOF, that probably shouldn't happen.

I wish I could share your vision l, you know, win 4 in a row, get to 5-5, meaningful games in Dec.

But knowing that Eli is no longer the future makes it difficult to get excited about that scenario.

I m a Giants fan first, and until they have their next guy in place, it s hard to take get too excited about just playing better
i hear you Joe  
Burt64 : 10/18/2018 8:33 am : link
and was also finding it hard to stay motivated with the teams play myself.

just decided i'm going to put on the blue colored glasses for the rest the year. If Eli goes out and throws 5 picks? who cares., just fling it and be aggressive. its not like we can do any worse right now.

maybe they make something out of nothing, maybe not, but i'll remain hopefull.
Is this an Eli appreciation thread?  
5BowlsSoon : 10/18/2018 8:37 am : link
Did he retire or get traded?
Burt  
joeinpa : 10/18/2018 9:14 am : link
I appreciate your sentiment. Pay no attention to those who mock, it s not personal, just what they do.

Wish I could adopt your attitude and I will watch every game. But a big part of me believes the only to way to justify pawing on Darnold this year, is to get the guy next year. Losses make that more probable.
don't worry  
Burt64 : 10/18/2018 9:22 am : link
been around here since the early 2000's, and haven't posted much since the hack a few years ago. internet tough guys can do or say whatever they want man, whatever makes them feel better i guess. they love the zing and then the mob mentality takes over. fun for them i guess.

Love your idea Burt

We’re watching the end of an era that may not happen for a long time if ever. Sad that quite a few here love to bash number 10. He’s a role model for the NFL. Unfortunately most rave for the showboating divas of the game.
