wasn’t gutless (plus the bad calls that directly took points off the board, the bad call that literally cost us the game, and being so unprepared after timeouts)
There are just to many things that sucked about that loss. If it weren’t for the stakes I’d put it up their with the SF game years back.
1. becasue it was the Eagles and a rookie freakin kicker
2. I feel like the season would have been different had we won that game.
3. This was coming off the season the last time the Giants were good so expectations were high.
The Giants have sucked for so long, I anticpate this shit now so it doesn't shock me.
Other than Eli I can't think of a player or game worth remembering these last four years. It's just been a waste of years with nothing to show for it but aggravation.
please -- this doesn't scratch the surface of painful
that 2020 Eagles game was the worst I've felt about a Giants game in the last decade. I can't even put my finger on why that was. Maybe because it really just felt like the division had just slipped through our hands (just as the ball slipped through Engram's hands, and as did end up being the case when we missed the playoffs by one game). I just distinctly remember feeling awful.
I think the loss last night SHOULD HAVE felt worse, and in the actual moment of the missed FG followed by made FG it really did feel probably worst of all, but I'm already kind of over it now. That 2020 Eagles loss stuck with me for days. I think it was that exact point where I had not QUITE lost all hope in the franchise, but that night I really did lose all hope. So, last night, since I'd already lost all hope, I was able to get over it quicker.
frame of mind, last night was more painful than most in recent memory. The fact that I thought we won for a sec., may've added to the pain. But also not taking better advantage of Bradburys INT and the D overall being so subpar...
My last words to myself last night were - can't get much worse than that.
On the bright side, i think Jones, while not perfect, played pretty well, definitely well enough to win.
RE: please -- this doesn't scratch the surface of painful
Because the last time I had a game effect like this it would have been December 19, 2010. Which was way worse but this had feeling pretty bad. Watching Gates go down was terrible, not that I would wish it on anyone but Gates is a likeable player, that stung. Then the TD called back, the drop, the field goal. The fact that DJ was awesome and deserved a win. This was painful.
I don't know how many games the Giants have lost in my life, but anything since about 2014 probably doesn't crack the top 100. I'll probably remember this one because it was an interesting game, but I can barely remember any of the ones discussed on this thread.
a ton, and the bad call at the end (on a botched snap anyway)
The fact of the matter is we went a bit soft on defebse (understandably) and then when we tightened up we were still getting torched. The offense completely crapped out. Their players made plays and ours didn’t. I can take losing, but to lose with gutless coaching and bad ref errors (including one that directly affected the outcome of the game on a legit play) that sits extremely poor with me. Especially because Judge seemed like the one foundation thing we had.
I think Thursday was the worst mainly because of the expectations. This is more or less the year for this team. Offense finally started clicking. Jones playing awesome. And then…disaster.
That being said - the Eagles loss last year was definitely a worse loss in terms of how the game actually went down in that they were up 11 with 6 minutes to play.
That 2010 Miracle in the Meadowlands loss was honestly so
Painful - I was literally disoriented after it was over - that it changed how I watch Giants games. I no longer get that upset.
What’s interesting is that some non Giants games are emotional experiences. I watched the Patriots Super Bowl comeback against Atlanta TWICE and it was just emotionally thrilling even the second time.
So my apathy is the result of the Giants turning into a dumpster fire.

2) Because I refuse to give the Eagles the satisfaction.

Painful is watching Flipper Anderson score a walk off last second touch down to keep the Giants from the playoffs
Painful is watching the Giants get smoked by the Ravens and unable to score points in the Super Bowl
Painful is watching Ray Handley on the sidelines turning redder and redder and puffier every frikken game
Last night was nothing like that

Since 2017...

Maybe I am getting old but this loss didn't really hit me hard.

Wasn’t Flipper Anderson’s TD in a playoff game?

I was around for all of that and then some, and I gotta say, it was up there.
Also, you can't forget 1988, Montana 80 yards to Rice over Mark Collins.
