to win, but the 49ers are awful. Mullens, and no downfield receiver. Kittle killed us all freaking night. So die Breida. ST were again poor. Not enough running lanes. Tons of check downs because Eli was again throwing against six or seven defenders. Collins and Ogletree had poor games. J. Brown looked good IMO.

Exactly, no team is out tanking the Raiders, the Giants never were. My guess, they finish 4-12 or 5-11. Gruden is shamelessly tanking.

Right there with ya. He didn't land on him with all his weight or even drive him into the ground IMO. He was all shoulder, off to the side and just made a nice solid on time hit on the QB.

I thought maybe it was a hit to the head or something but it clearly wasn't that. No idea why that was called.

So you dont think culture is important?


I think it's wildly overstated, especially here. How are the Rams doing? All they did is collect players on defense that were 'red flags'.

'Culture' gets thrown around a lot. Gettleman needed to come in here and change the 'culture'. So he signs 'culture' guys. And one year after a 3 win season with a bad locker room, we're 2-7.

Annoying but they can call penalties on any return. But yeah, that is bad. But the returners looked good.

but a win feels so great. I love that we won. There are still flaws and improvement needed but this was fun. A lot of these guys will be back next year so winning is a positive.

I also thought they played hard until the end which means they haven't quit on the coach. Enjoy this my friends. One game at a time. I have no illusions of a 9-7 record but a good, fun win. Maybe our first home win in 2018 comes soon?

No doubt. But imo, you cannot sustain winning without the right culture, the right mix of guys and inner team accountability. Im a big believer in culture. Now that doesnt mean DG made the right moves re this, but I do think it has to be developed by the coach and the leaders of the team.

It is definitely meaningful. Good players sour quickly on teams with shitty locker rooms. Good players won't come to a team with a shitty locker room. Young players will not fear making errors in a shitty locker room. Good locker rooms drive players to excel and compete. Would you want to play for a team with malcontents?

Even if it's something you believe in, which is fine, you can have your beliefs, a winning culture comes from having the tools required to allow players to believe they can win games. This roster is outmanned and outgunned. When the 53 guys in that room believe they can compete, that's how culture generates. It's not some force that elevates bad rosters to contention.
Good stuff from tonight  
trueblueinpw : 11/13/2018 12:08 am : link
First two career picks by BJ. Ata boy BJ! Keep em coming!

No turnovers by the offense.

No injuries.

The defense didnt fold at the end of the game.

Giants fans get to see an all time great Giant lead his team to a 4th quarter come from behind win.

And yeah, it was the 9ers and they suck but its a win in the NFL and this team needed a win in the worst way. Ill fucking take it!

Good things Big Blue!
When you've endured years of picking bad players  
widmerseyebrow : 11/13/2018 12:08 am : link
It's easy to get seduced with acquiring talent at any cost. Ask the Browns. But getting a mega talent for one or two years before they stupid themselves off your team or out of the NFL is effectively not much different than picking shit players that aren't worth a second contract. It's unsustainable.

You can pick talented guys that aren't addicted to substances or getting arrested in the offseason. They're not mutually exclusive.

In Cleveland it was a knock on his work ethic, documented pretty clearly on Hard Knocks. They were accusing him of not running hard enough in practice.

He's made a few stops so I'm skeptical, but sometimes it takes desperate measures for the light to go on in some people.

I don't think anyone's advocating for picking dumb guys who are going to smoke or drink themselves to retirement. There's plenty of talent available at the top of the draft where you don't have to compromise talent for bad character.

Who would not want more players like a Barkley?

likely take him or the Bama LT . Lord knows we need help .
I wouldn't mind taking O-line in the 2nd round either
Don't think Oliver is a bonafied pass rusher but this draft
has plenty of Defense . we have two 4ths can move up as well

Then why even watch? You cannot manipulate the draft through a full seasom unless you are Oakland. And what they are doing is a disgrace. We aren't guaranteed that anyone from even this year's touted qb class will be great to say nothing of next year. Nice to see a win and aittle vintage Eli

I also thought they played hard until the end which means they haven't quit on the coach. Enjoy this my friends. One game at a time. I have no illusions of a 9-7 record but a good, fun win. Maybe our first home win in 2018 comes soon?


Im not in favor of tanking for a higher 1st round pick, but as the 2018 draft showed, you get a higher Pick in EVERY round. Not only Barkley, the Giants probably would have missed out on Hernandez and Carter.

slot need to get a life. The coaches and players are trying to keep and earn their jobs. Theres more at stake than your sensitive fandom.

Nobody WANTS more losing. They just recognize losing today is the fastest method to getting more players so they can actually fix it rather than celebrating wins against other 2-win teams as if they have meaning. Feeling good at the watercooler this morning because they beat another bottom shelf team isnt actually fixing anything.

It's pure assumption. Nobody knows.
Gruden has made it abundantly clear that he has no use for Carr  
Greg from LI : 11/13/2018 9:16 am : link
Whether that means he absolutely wants Herbert, who knows, but it certainly suggests it as a strong possibility.
Observations from last night:  
Rick in Dallas : 11/13/2018 9:56 am : link
Improved OL play in pass protection.
Still having difficulty in run blocking.

Really impressed with Carters play last night. He needs to start and play all the time. Bench Barwin.

I thought Grant Haley made some nice plays last night. He needs to play more in the last 7 games.

If Coleman works hard he maybe a good pickup as 3rd WR and kickoff Returner. We can only hope he decides to work hard to make himself a good player.

DL had a tough game last night in run and pass defense. We need to see improvement from Tomlinson and Hill.

Vernon looked disinterested during the game last night. So overpaid. Too bad we couldnt move him for a draft pick.

Eli had a good game last night as well as OBJ. The lack of arm strength on the deep ball to OBJ who was wide open was very telling.

A win is a win and very happy this morning. Slept slot better last night.

Go Giants!!!

arcarsenal : 11/13/2018 10:48 am : link
In the long run, it probably hurts more than helps to have won the game.

That said - while it was going on, the juices were flowing for the first time in a while. I felt a sense of excitement. I knew it was under a shitty premise, but seeing it unfold in a way that put Eli in position to lead the game-winning drive after all that's been said and all of the focus that was on him to basically "win or else" - it was just so perfect. It was almost a microcosm of his career in one shot.

The line was better. They really did a much better job in pass pro. The running lanes were still tough to come by, but we had a better approach with Barkley I felt.

I'd like to see them start to work Coleman into the offense more opposite Beckham. He can run - he can help us stretch the field. He's limited but he does have some skill we can use.

Honestly, it just felt good to win again. Regardless of the long-term implications. As hard as I've been on Eli, I really loved watching him come through and turn back the clock like that for a night. The records kind of just got pushed aside for that time and it was exciting and enjoyable for me finally.

I'm actually sort of looking forward to the next game again for the first time in a while.
