Does anyone here think...

RedZone88 : 12/1/2019 5:28 pm
This team is tanking on purpose?

No reason to win in a rebuild season. Tickets will sell, the team will make money and Mara will be happy. This team is about draft picks, it has been for years...

Ask yourself, do you really want a win? Shurmur is a expert coach, he can tank this team and still be competitive in most games. No one can say he is tanking for sure.

The drama make for more engaged fans.
LOL - the Giants should be trying to tank

given their Costanza like success, they'd probably make the playoffs.
I do think Shurmur's job is on the line  
.McL. : 12/1/2019 5:28 pm : link
So I doubt he is tanking.
Who specifically

Would have tanking in their best interest?
We should

Be able to draft a few very talented players this year along with a few free agents.. . We'll have a winning record next year. If not Shurmur is gone..
I wish you

Would have put another word or 2 instead of the dot dot dot, I knew I’d regret opening this. Tank for what? Only to make a worse decision with our luck.
No coach, nor anyone on the field would be motivated to Tank.

See Dolphins.

This defense is so depressing...but they look so unprepared.



and to throw people off the scent

we trade away our high 3rd round draft pick
Miami Already Has Proven...

That they're not tanking, so the simple minded posters have switched to the Giants.

Players and coaches with their careers on the line don't deliberately "tank" to get better draft position for the team.
i'd like to think so, but i really believe  
japanhead : 12/1/2019 5:46 pm : link
shurmur and bettcher are just that bad.
Say we have the 3rd pick which is very likely  
SGMen : 12/1/2019 5:47 pm : link
Why not trade down if a QB is there and a team really wants him? Get a very high #1, #2 and #3 next year?? We have a lot of holes to fill. The trade for L. Williams is a bit of a head scratcher as I thought we gave an unsigned guy too much in terms of quality draft picks; however, he is a quality player versus the run and gives us a solid rotation for next year.

Say we trade down 3 spots and get the top OL prospect? In the 2nd round you get the top OC or even WR? And both are starters?? Is that a bad haul? We don't need a QB at #3.

So many options. Personally, I hope we somehow finish with the #2 pick and just get DE Young, Ohio State, an instant pass rusher for us and no brainer.
also, the idea that shurmur is an "expert coach"  
japanhead : 12/1/2019 5:47 pm : link
.. just no..
Why tank?  
5BowlsSoon : 12/1/2019 5:49 pm : link
Do you think Chase is another LT?

Even Bosa was non existent today v Ravens.
I don't beleive any professional player would tank, I am sure they  
SterlingArcher : 12/1/2019 5:58 pm : link
have some pride. I also think they have things in their contracts that could earn them more based on performance.
Miami won today - Redskins too.  
RedZone88 : 12/1/2019 6:03 pm : link
And if the coaches have a pass this year, tanking is the right move.

next few games would you bet money on the Giants to win? Like real money
Its obvious Mara is tanking  
Danny Dimes : 12/1/2019 6:23 pm : link
Why else would he hire Shurmer
Dear god no  
Biteymax22 : 12/1/2019 6:26 pm : link
Our entire coaching staff is out of a job unless they drastically pull it together and go on a run (that would really need to include beating the Eagles twice). People just don’t risk million dollar jobs.
RE:Does anyone here think...  
Mendenhall64 : 12/1/2019 6:48 pm : link
Not you.
There is no way  
cjac : 12/1/2019 6:53 pm : link
Mara is happy
Would anyone on here tank  
Giants86 : 12/1/2019 9:45 pm : link
At there job?

They aren’t tanking. We want them to lose for the picks but they are playing and coaching for there careers
