that is the realization i had last night. the giants are so bad that to turn the “aircraft carrier” around will take more years than i have left.
i began to be a giant fan as a kid when Arnie Weinmeister was a two way all,pro tackle. When the Poole brothers, Ed and Ray if iI recall were our runing backs. Charlie Conerly was just starting at qb and the T was a new formation. A long time ago.
I have ben through some great highs and suffered through a long drought of horrible football. Not until 1979 when george young took charge and changed the organization from top to bottom, drafted phil simms to great disconcert amongst media and fans, had coaching changes finally having parcells whose first major move was not to start Simms and get off to a 3 -13 season and finally turn it around in 1981.
but that took a very long time. from 1964-1981 is 17 years. i am ill and 80 years old. i just want to see a defense that can tackle and look like an NFL defense. Last night that defense was not NFL quality. I think Jones and SB are NFL players but they need a supporting cast and a creative coaching staff. All of this takes a lot of time.
I am a fan, but not a very hopeful one of this “disaster” that i watched last night.
I don’t see what’s bizarre or “ groundhog” day about that!
Last night, I turned the game off at halftime, even though it was a 1-point game. I gave the wife some necessary roughness in the sack instead. I don't regret missing the second half of the game at all.
Used to be that I'd plan my entire week around watching the Giants, but they just aren't worth the trouble anymore.
No matter how shitty the NYG has been the past many years, I will always bleed blue and cherish the SB memories. Named my damn first born son ELI in 2012 after the 2011 SB.
We'll probably be fighting for a winning record next year, but we should definitely be there in 2021.
It gives you something to look forward to.

i am not talking about your situation plato...i am talking about the fact you have posted this three separate times.
People are generally cranky. It's been a crappy time to be a Giant's fan. Don't take it personally. Regarding your sentiments, I'm younger than you, but I'm not hopeful to see any good football for a long time, myself.
NFL football is not for you.
this way you're never too old to be "around" for the good times and you can die in peace. not today, I don't think, but when you die. unless it's today.
The Giants gave us the best win EVER. I’m grateful. Despite this current mess. Take care of yourself, Plato. (And maybe rewatch that game.)
They had a second-year Simms competing at QB, 2 Pro Bowlers - Brad Van Pelt (OLB) and Dave Jennings, a Punter.
They sucked beyond all suckitude. It had been a 8 years since they had a winning season, they were a trainwreck, a dead offense and a defense that would inevitably fold.
One season later, they beat Philly in the wildcard game.
The current team is not in worse shape than 1980.

Are the 2020 Giants getting Lawrence Taylor? No?
