A lot of people seemed surprised with the outcome in Dallas. I have said all along this is a 5-6 win team. If the wheels fall off Sunday what’s the fallout?
Obviously, the chatter regarding Jones will only intensify?
Will DG and Shurmur start to get heat yet again, for seeing this as a “retool, not rebuild season”?
Will this coaching staffs seats start to get warm ?
- Is this the worst Giant defense ever?
- Pick the game Daniel Jones likely starts
- Is Pat Shurmur on the hot seat?
- Playcalling Needs to change
- Do the Giants actually practice?
And of course buried within several of these will be the ever-popular topic of how bad referee calls only negatively affected the Giants...

I would never root against the Giants winning, but maybe losing stops this "we are trying to win while rebuilding" crap.
If we are rebuilding, why aren't we finding out if Jones is the QB of the future? If we are 'trying to win,' why trade every tradeable asset, leaving very little experience on the team?
The sooner it becomes apparent they are not really 'trying to win' the better.
How much more can they possibly "get on with the rebuild" ?
We're very clearly in the middle of one. People wanted this all torn down and rebuilt. That's what's going on here. It takes more than one season to do it.
Then why are we playing Eli? Why is he even on the team, taking up cap space we could use for depth? If we are rebuilding, then why aren't we finding out exactly what we have in the rookie at the most important position?

BBI has posted this same thing for 6 years. Give me a break
How the fuck would you know? You just joined, Chief.
I just don't know who Eli is going to throw to this week? Our top 3 wideouts are out. He can be completely on and have miserable stats . . .
Shurmur better run the hell out of Saquon this week.

He's going to play and he'll get plenty of playing time this year. Relax.

By now?
This isn’t 2013.
I just want to escape football. I think I get why some fans quit. It’s too fucking painful anymore. I wish I was just a causal fan and didn’t live and die with toilet stained team.
It doesn't need to be painful. Perspective helps...
I know... I’m trying to shorten my memory shit I preach this all the time. What happened from 2013-2017 doesn’t matter anymore. New regime. New players. New directive bla bla...
It’s just that these blowout divisional losses are wearing me out.
I’ll never forget that moment in 2008 when I was walking out of the stadium after another one of the giants awesome performances. Even in the 80s, I never felt like that before. Defending champs and just killing everyone. I figured it was just our time. Then reality check. Then we rebounded in 2011 and win it again. I never thought we’d be this bad for this long. Never thought we’d eclipse the mid 90s in terms of suck.
Worse, I never imagined we’d have to come to grips with another wilderness that mirrors 1964-1981. Were over halfway there....
The Giants will win Sunday.
That said, I can see the Giants losing but not in a blow out. They need to be 2-2 after four games or Metlife is going to get ugly.
I just had a terrible feeling that tonight I saw the best Giant game that I will see this season.

was that the Giants didnt score more points.
This defense is going to need time to gel
There'll be no blowout this Sunday, its going to be a 20-17 game either way. Hopefully the Giants can figure out how to win this one because an 0-2 start for the third year in a row will be miserable
You weren't surprised by 5 consecutive TD's?
No I'm not surprised Dallas put up 30+. I am surprised by 5 straight. Alarmed.
We were HEALTHY.
I would not have predicted 5 straight TDs, but once they scored two in the fashion they did, it was evident they could only be stopped by a mistake.
As if now it just looks like no one on the D is as good as anyone may have thought they were. Not Hill, not Carter, not Baker, Peppers, or Tomlinson. Not McIntosh. No one!
The Giants will win Sunday.
I think a lot are underestimating Buffalo, when saying we're going to win tomorrow. They have a very good defense and we're lacking in weapons. Also, our defense could be what the doctor ordered for Allen. I definitely expect it to be difficult
And I'm fairly sure our safeties and corners were read the riot act in practice/film this week so imagine they will be focused on their coverage responsibilities.
I could see a game where our defense plays better but is still not getting off the field...
Yankees were professonials with Jeter.

Oh please. No. The yanks just weren’t terrible when jeter was on his way out and better yet, the yanks had won 5 titles the prior 15 years. And again, they weren’t terrible. That tends to help.
Oh I forgot, Eli IS the reason why the giants have sucked these last 5-6 seasons. Hence, the giants fucked things up by employing the guy directly responsible. Never mind that if the giants cut Eli they’d still be paying him big money this season.
Easily the best or top 3 OL. Elliot one of the best weapons in the game. Their D is loaded. Buffalo is now their level. Wtf
He don't like that chair!

Maybe this is superstitious, but careful: calling pessimism "stupid" around here tends to backfire spectacularly.
