The importance of finishing games

njurygiants : 10/25/2020 5:10 pm

If we finished the games vs Dallas and Philly , both of which we had multiple opportunities to win at the end of the game

We would be 3-4 , 3-0 in the division clearly on top of this garbage division.

Such a different situation but not being to close out those last 4 mins in those games :(

good teams

usually beat other teams comfortably. they don't get by winning squeakers. Stop lamenting the close ones we lost. We are in close contests all the time because we are bad.

I wouldn’t call the team bad,

they are competitive and fight, however still do not have the requisite talent to get over that hump.

If we only had Barkley

We probably would be leading the pitiful NFC East.

you don't think 1-6 is bad? What's bad to you?

Mediocrity..

is a legitimate high bar for this team to attain this season. They're not there yet...

We are a mentally soft team.

You wouldn't call the Giants "bad"?!?!?

They're 1-6 this season and in their three previous seasons they finished 4-12, 5-11 and 3-13...giving them the worst record in the NFL over the last 3+ seasons (13-42).

How shitty do the Giants have to be before they can be considered "bad"?

Young teams often have that problem. Veteran teams are better at

finishing.

Even if we’d JUST finished the Philly game

Up 21-10 with 6 min left..... we’d be tied for 1st place right now.

Seriously that was the worst a loss has felt in YEARS for me. When does the pain end?

You better buckle up!

We just don't have the horses ..

Sure, losing Barkley hurts a whole lot, true but also not drafting a game breaker (like Henry Ruggs) at #4 over-all, well .....

What do perpetual losers say - wait'll next year.

My only consolation - we have a great corps of coaches.
