Daydream Believing that a winning streak is still possible

Ralph.C : 10/24/2020 7:53 pm
I know that I’m like the boy who cried “We’re going to start winning” because I keep posting that we will but “disappointment keeps haunting all our dreams.”

(Singing) “But I see this team . . . And I’m a Believer.”

Now, they may continue to make a Monkee out of me with crushing losses and Davy, oops I mean Daniel, Jones may continue with his spectrum of play ranging from brilliance to WTF? but this team is clearly headed in the right direction. The record may not show it but they are worlds better than they were last year. It’s apparent by their positioning, communication and just by the look in their eyes that the players are confident and getting smarter and smarter with each game. Yes, this was a crushing loss, but we are just a few upticks away from being winners.

So, this Sunday? I’m rooting for Washington to beat Dallas so we stay a game behind and that the winning streak starts in classic Giant fashion . . .

. . . by beating Brady on national TV and hopping on the First Train to Winningstreaksville.

Hey, what else should we root for?

Not sure if this team believe they can win

A winning mentality...a mindset expecting to win is needed

how about Beck's I'm a Loser

Seriously, this team had its winning streak already.

but I just don't think they have the horses
It will be the boat trip that blew it up

And the bike ride that brought it together :)
There is a certain point in time...

when the obvious hits you between the eyes. This is called reality. The reality is that the Giants are a terrible football team. They may not get any better this year... the most hopeful we can be is they get less bad. Mediocrity is a high bar for this team... respectability is a pipe dream.

If there was a glimmer of hope, I could understand your enthusiasm and support your faith in a turn-around.

We should be rooting for one thing  
mikeinbloomfield : 10/25/2020 8:07 am : link
And that is that the people responsible for putting this team together are shown the door soon.
Winning streak this year?  
Biteymax22 : 10/25/2020 8:43 am : link
Maybe/probably not.

Stealing a game we shouldn’t win? That may happen.
I will always root for this team to win  
nygiants16 : 10/25/2020 9:08 am : link
and i will always root for the Cowboys eagles and WFT to lose, and in todays case whichever team losing helps giants in standings..

As long as they have a chance i will root for it...

BUT if they keep losing i will also look at it as hey better draft pick to add to this team..

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But six rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shaving razor's cold and it stings

Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen?

You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, our good time starts and ends
Without dollar one spend
But how much, baby, do we really need?

Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen?

Well played Ralph...  
BlueLou'sBack : 10/25/2020 10:26 am : link
All in.

But right now I am wishing for more situational awareness from many individual players on this team...

Starting with Ryan Lewis, DJ, Corey Ballentine...
It's teachable,  
BlueLou'sBack : 10/25/2020 10:27 am : link
So I think it gets done.

A better comparative song would be “Don’t Stop Believing.”

I’ll tell you what: Every Giant player and coach was following the Washington/Dallas game as were you and I. And after seeing a team that we beat dismantle a team that we barely lost to?

They believe they can win this.
We have a huge game Monday.  
Ralph.C : 10/25/2020 7:44 pm : link
The Giants are the team with the best chance to improve dramatically in the upcoming weeks. We’re a game and a half off of the division lead and we’re going to keep with the pace and begin rolling forward next Monday.

I don’t care if we win the division at 5-11. 2020 sucks and I want something to root for with every Giant game. It’s like Wellington Mara never said but probably would have:

“Let’s be the worst team in history to win the NFC East.”
