Thoughts (from a fan in attendance)

Wmpinto98 : 10/23/2020 12:41 am
Well I am at a loss for words. I was at the game with my brother and we were laughing at the eagles fans leaving the Linc after shep's TD. But soon after we looked at each other and said "Yeah this still probably won't end well" Up 2 scores with 6 minutes left we had 0 confidence in this team. As I said in my post 2 weeks ago: Chronic Losers. We just do not know how to win football games anymore. Without having watched the highlights here are some of my thoughts:

-Said this last week but Engram needs to go, as a TE he needs to be able to do a lot of things, and all he does is run fast. He can't block, his routes aren't great, and doesn't know how to catch the ball (you HAVE to make that catch). Get rid of him.

-Shepard puts a bit more light into this offense, it's clear DJ missed him. Andrew Thomas looking more and more like a bust.

-Defense was atrocious, particularly our secondary. Peppers, Lewis, Ryan and others all got burned early and often. We at least held them to under 100 yards rushing so that's something I guess. Penalties killed us

But honestly forget the X's and O's I am just so sick of this. We have been losing for so long and I'm just done. It's hard to keep clawing at things that could be spun as positive, I just want to win football games. I know you all feel the same way but for some reason tonight was a real low for me (probably didn't help that I had eagles fans yelling in my ear). Hang in there Giants fans

It all ended for me when Jones fumbled again to end the game. Anyone can spin it however they want. Jones has the ball with time left on the clock, however improbable, and he fumbled. And the game ended.
I am being honest

I really thought we would win when Shepard scored. Their offense was woeful, Lane Johnson was out of the game. All we had to do was keep the game in front of us and we couldn’t do it. I think it was Lewis, but whoever let Hightower get past them and get 53 yards so quickly was a big reason we lost. Think not having somebody over the top ok that play was really a coach mistake. I also think it was Ryan Lewis who got the penalty that wiped out the sack right before that play. This was another bitter defeat in a game we should have won.

I think you'll be able to look back on this in ten years and say you were at the inflection point in this team's fortunes.

Can you please quarantine your stupid to your own thread?

Yeah, that's when it ended, technically. But what were the chances of going 50 yards in 30 seconds with no timeouts AND having Gano, who'd spent the past 15 minutes buzzing his hip flexor with an electric massager, nail a 50-yarder?

It would have been game over if Engram caught an absolutely perfect pass.

I completely agree.
Right now

I'd park Engram's ass right next to Thomas' and say if the edge gets by the both of you one of you is gone. And here's a hint. It won't be Thomas.
I'm glad you got

to go to a game (if you wanted to go to a game), but not being a dick, really curious, how does being in attendance influence your "thoughts"?

Other than Eagles fans yelling in your ear which sounds horrifying, I find I see more of the game and get a better sense for what is happening watching on TV.

Never said it influenced my thoughts, just found it interesting how Eagles fans left with 7 mins left but Giants fans had very little confidence in their team to close it out.
