Giants In No-Win Situation This Week

is a win and keeps them at maximum one game out of 1st place. You take that any day of the week and don't worry about what the rest of the talking heads say about it

would say its more like a Win-Loss situation. If they win it goes in the win column. If they lose it goes in the loss column. They could tie too though.

Just win. There are no excuses in the NFL. No one cares if the other team is banged up, yet the 'I wanna play them fully healthy!' BBI contingent which usually says that tongue in cheek.

but still, many here cling to them. Thus, we’re 4 1/2 point underdogs, so a win would NOT be tainted

if the 49ers get lost on the way to the stadium and forfeit. Giants need wins in any fashion

because at Rams and at Dallas don't seem promising at the moment. The schedule never lets up this year.

if the Giants beat SF at full strength we would be feeling very good about this team for at least a week.

If they win against SF Sunday it is still an important win and won't matter any differently in the standings. At this point I would be happy with a win over the Bengals. In the NFL it is often not about who you play but when you play them.

There's nothing no-win about winning in week 3.

The Giants should have two primary objectives that hopefully intersect mid season:

1) Tread water in a pretty bad division and hope to be in striking distance of getting in the tournament

2) Build up the competencies of key units manned by a lot of younger guys to compete at the NFL level (OL & secondary)

If the Giants get to midpoint, and both those are on-track, you fight like hell to get scratch out every game. If they aren't, it's perfectly reasonable to spend the rest of the season on player development and analysis.

Now wins are to be measured?

We are playing with a new coach and second year QB (in his second pro offense) after a virtual offseason and no preseason and without 2 of our top 3 or 4 offensive weapons against a team that has its own injuries but went to the Super Bowl last year with many of the same people.

A win here would be a big deal. They all are.

only idiots disparage wins.

We need to win ugly again and have people saying the team is overrated. I would kill for those days.

that people analyze everything.

Wins = good
losses = bad

Thanks.

they entered the game without Kittle/Sherman/Ford/Deebo, Bosa went out in the 1st Q, Mostert/Garapolo only played the first half, any week Daniel Jones can lead this team to a victory is a good one right now. Against a team that won by almost 20 in Metlife 7 days ago is no different.

I'm one of the most bearish people on this boards and I want a win. Wins are wins!

Kind of have become accustomed to it at this point.

That’s it.

Any win is a good win. Part of the process of becoming a better team is learning to win, and specifically learning to win games you should.

If we beat a decimated SF team this week because we actually have more talent on the field (not a given) than so be it.

the scary part is that they lose to this decimated team.

in the standings

just said it doesnt matter if the Giants win this week, season is already over, they are not competitive..

If you go back and look at most championship teams, you'll come to find that they accrued a few wins against teams in the position SF is in right now.

The Giants should never need to apologize for winning a football game. We have enough of our own problems and we just just our best offensive weapon.

A win is a win - if we're fortunate enough to come away with one, it's a win. That's it.

In fact, a bunch of the Giants 12 wins in the last three seasons have come against backup QBs.

Its our sweet-spot.

Any win is a good win at this point.

a win is a win. I couldn't care less about what the media will say about it, or other Giants fans.

Well the season might be over, but not being competitive is complete bullshit. Radio host doing what he can to get callers I guess, or he's just a moron.

Fuck perspective.
This team needs wins and as many as possible.

But the "i wanna beat them at full strength" take is the absolute worst.

I don't care why they win just win a G*d*mn game already... lol

Um no. You take wins in the NFL any way you can get em. Last I checked we lost our best player for the year. And probably our third best offensive play maker.

but fuuuuuck that. Get the win.

Nah, this reasoning makes too much sense. Can't be this simple, it just can't.

Only wins against that team's best all time players at their prime counts.

There's still plenty of talent even with those others out. They can still run the ball and pass. They still have Jerrick McKinnon in the backfield, Sanu at WR and possibly Kittle coming back. Mullens played well when given the chance and their D still has a pretty good front 7, even without Bosa and Solomons. You cannot overlook this team and if the Giants win, it won't be looked at a win because the 9ers were injured. The Giants will have to be better this week to win and they're also without Barkley and Shep now too.

are we really in a position to decide what wins are deserved or not? If this team beats my local high school (who did win the state championship last year), I'll take it. Teams have been beating up on the Giants with their record setting injury numbers every year and they don't feel too bad about it. It's a league where you have to win. The Niners, even with their injuries, are still a better team than the Giants. If the Giants can pull off a win, it will be impressive regardless, but it is not as if it's coming against a nobody.

If the young guys develop quickly and the Giants hit a groove later in the year, playing .500 ball in November isn’t out of the realm of possibilities.

And if the Giants don’t get in the tournament because they lost an early season game to a completely decimated SF team, that would suck.

If we beat the 49ers (big if), we are in a win-situation.

If we lose to the 49ers, we are in a lose-situation.

It’s bi-modal, and there are no other options, unless you want to consider a tie.

This Giants team could lose to anyone, but it won't be because of Sanu breaking the game.

there's no such thing as a tainted win for the Giants. Take it and be happy

I'll take a win and be thrilled with it.

of game film, and I'm beginning to think the Niners are ripe this weekend. The've been on the east coast since before the Jets game, they injured beyond belief, they have the super bowl hangover, and I never heard of the quaerterback whose starting. I wouldn't bet on it but maybe by Sunday I will.

for 80+ yards, and more than that he runs like he's "angry at the grass" and pass blocks like the Great Wall of China,

I'll be fooking thrilled that I had this guy figured out all wrong.

And he should, his next contract (surely not with the Giants) hinges on it.

you will find many people discrediting a win the week following the game. It just seldom happens that way.

Now, if we finish 5-11 and Gettleman is pointing to beating the defending NFC Champs as evidence of that the team has improved like he and Shurmur did following 2018, we'll see a different perspective.

None

There are no apologies in professional sports for winning any game. Just win the game. 1-2 is better than 0-3 Winning still beats losing

The Giants have been bottom feeders (for the most part) for the past 8-9 years. All of the teams who beat them do not have an asterisk next to those victories.

Didn’t we play this qb a few years ago when JG went down?
