I hate to say it but if the Giants come up on the losing end on Sunday, the fan base will have a meltdown (and have every right to do so). This $hitshow has gone on long enough and if it gets worse, there will be a revolt among the diehards.... worse than it already is.
I'm not sure how positive a win will be but a lose might be the end of our coach.
Arizona was a must win....now, not so much
NYJ, WAS, and MIA on the schedule - just happens that we get to play three of the very worst teams in the league in our next seven games. We could squeak out wins against them, get blown out against the others and who would argue that the team has improved, or even held the same vs. last year?
Unfortunately I don’t think the Jets are capable of it, but one can hope.
Sick of it all.
Also seems delusional in post game. He’s a players coach. So sick of “he battled”. Yeah but they’re all General Custer.
We haven't received our two beatdowns from the Eagles yet.
If we win, everyone loves a win on Sunday and our players probably showed some promise.
If we lose, Shurmur is one step closer to being fired and securing a better draft position.
We, as Giants fans, can't lose either way.............
It's a win/win game.
We haven't received our two beatdowns from the Eagles yet.
Those will be curb stompings.

LOL..that's the spirit.
We'll see what state the Eagles are in when we play......
I believe the same.
I'd like us to beat the Jets just because it'll take some pressure off our young guys, but in general, I hope we lose enough to draft top 5.
I don't know how fans came into the season with thoughts about winning. We're in the 2nd year of a rebuild that should have began 5 years ago. Delaying the rebuild absolutely fucked us. Before the 2018 Draft we were probably in the worst position in the league. We're getting younger now, accumulating talent, and can be close to a winning team again with a solid draft, and some OL help in free agency.
There's no such thing as a must win game for this team.
If anything he’ll take away “we’re further along in our rebuild than those guys” with a win. It’s a horseshit take, but I can totally see it. That being said, if it takes a Jet win to shed the NYG of both PS and DG, then I’ll be doing the “J-ET-S, JETS, JETS, JETS” chant from my living room.
Maybe a 'must lose'. If so I hope they don't panic. Their drafting has been excellent.
Unlike the Rangers and Yankee rebuild, they've been clear that it's not about 'this year' (or even next for Rangers). I think that is the way to go.
That is why the Williams trade concerns me, unless they had assurances he would re-up.
Technically, we want to lose to continue to improve our draft position. But a loss would have to be the death knell for Shurmur. So this is going to sound odd, but it's more important for Shurmur to win than the Giants...

It doesn't matter how bad off the Eagles seem to be, the Giants are their perennial "get better" game.
I'd let Fireman Ed sit on my shoulders if it meant we lose on Sunday and Shurmur is gone on Monday.
So does that mean we have to root for the Jets?
If we lose all of them, we could be going into next year with a treasure drove of drafts from a team that wants to trade up and a whole new coaching staff to replace the guys running things now.
If we win all of them, we can look forward to a #10 pick or so and a whole new year in 2020 with the same regime in charge.
+1

Naturally the drafting has been excellent, why just look at what great production we're getting out of these superstars!
But I can't say I don't see your sides of it.
on the flip side, look at the prices for the Jets at Redskins game...tons of seats for under $20

Almost forgot! Thx Eric for that kick in the nuts!
DANIELLE Jones? Seriously?
We haven't received our two beatdowns from the Eagles yet.
In last night's broadcast, they displayed a graphic that in the last 3 years the Giants have lost 12 out 15 games to NFC East opponents (with the caveat that we still have to play 3 more games against the division).
I can’t make myself root for the Giants to lose, but I can appreciate afterwards that it is what is best for the team long term.
Losing is one thing. Every team has down years. But this team is starting to feel like the Knicks in that losing is just the new normal.
The Jets BEAT Dallas. We were crushed.
I fully expect to lose this game.
