So what can we as fans do?

Anakim : 11/5/2019 11:27 am
What should we do in times like this? What can we do? We haven't won a playoff game since 2011 (and hell, we've only made the playoffs once since the Super Bowl). Confidence and morale among the fans are at an all-time low. Faith in the front office, coaching staff and even the ownership is essentially non-existent.


I think this goes to Arc's thread. Not only is there a sense of hopelessness among us die-hard fans, but perhaps more damning, there's a real sense of helplessness. As fans, we're more or less rendered bystanders in this dumpster fire. We don't choose/hire the coaches or the players or the front office personnel.


So I'm asking, and this is not a rhetorical question, what should we do? What CAN we do?
Nothing...

Write Mara maybe? That won't get any of us very far.

The NFL in general has us all bent over a barrel anyway, so what difference does it make.

I don't think people realize how fucked this sport is for the hardcore fan. The NFl is insulated from any and all backlash because of gambling and fantasy football. The revenue streams will keep pouring in.

my sense is apathy

and I never thought I would feel that way. I just don't care.

Don't go to the games. Don't buy their merchandise. Thats about it.
If you can block, cover, coach or tackle

suit up!
I'm currently writing to ownership and the ticket office  
Karl Hungus : 11/5/2019 11:38 am : link
About the importance of lowering ticket prices going forward. Tickets in my section have been less on StubHub, even after fees, for the last few years. Why would I not just walk away from my PSL at this point, and just pick three or four games a year to go to instead?
If you offered me tickets for free  
Chef : 11/5/2019 11:41 am : link
I would have to think about it seriously before going... I mean why would I want to spend a ton of money even with out the ticket costs to go and see garbage, embarrassing football. I also have stopped buying or even wearing the merchandise I have now.
Hire a plane?

Stay away.  
Red Dog : 11/5/2019 11:46 am : link
Don't go to games. Don't watch them on television. Don't buy merchandise. Do anything possible to hurt the league and the team financially by not supporting them.

And yes, it is definitely time for another airplane with a banner.

I don't know I gamble and I'm starting to lose my interest. Losing money awful calls is infuriating.

This is the healthiest approach any of us can have.
And I know I'm not the only gambler losing interest.

Debating to get one or two kegs for Sunday. Might go 3.
Stop showing up to games  
JerryNicklebag : 11/5/2019 11:49 am : link
for starters. Don't re-sell your tickets either, empty seats are a message.

Don't go buy merchandise.

Send a letter to Mara / Tisch.

Perhaps it's time for a ticket / jersey burning party in the parking lot?
Not much  
arniefez : 11/5/2019 11:50 am : link
you can vent here and on social media. No organization is more thin skinned and concerned about their image than the Giants. They see all of it. Doesn't change much but aside from that there is nothing you can do. Once the suckers paid for their PSLs the only thing that works is public embarrassment.
My plan...

Bitch..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 11/5/2019 11:53 am : link
daily here. Isn't that the blueprint?

We actually have a couple posters who said they intentionally post about things here to bring it to the attention of the organization, and they say it as if it will happen.
I doubt that Mara or Tisch want to lose.  
Moondawg : 11/5/2019 12:05 pm : link
So contacting them, demanding that they desire to win even more is futile. Giving them advice on NFL matters is even more futile.
The key  
jtfuoco : 11/5/2019 9:16 pm : link
Is to stop going to games ownership will be more inclined to make changes faster if they see a empty stadium in late November with the few stragglers that show up with bags over their heads
Call your local representatives  
bradshaw44 : 11/5/2019 9:22 pm : link
And let them know, this team is not up to par and you’re not going to take it anymore. And you’re voting for the other candidate next election unless this team starts winning.

yup. Empty stadiums or stadiums filled with opposing fans will definitely increase the chances they will do a real reboot not their half-assed Potemkin Village bullshit after 2017

The whole idea of PSL's just seems wrong to me. If it was more like buying stock and you received a dividend...

Big companies can afford to just walk away. Not so for the diehard fan.

If Schwartz is to be believed, not going to games seems to be how this shit is decided.

Mara is a coward and a loser. Can’t wait for his press conference at the end of the year when he retains Shurmur. ‘’I’m embarrassed and outraged out of anyone’’
