Kudos to Those Giants Fans Who Are Still Carrying the Torch!

and taking the rose colored glasses off and seeing reality, are NOT mutually exclusive. I still walk around the city with my Giants gear on, but knowing things won't get better until the twin dopes (Chris and John) get the hell out of the way, is disheartening at best.

I feel bad for you.

Frenchie is still doing it with enthusiasm. He prepared for the game all week. He has a "to beat the enemy you must eat the enemy theme for every game." He prepared and marinate steaks for today's game. He's already out there at the lot. He arrived at 8am and unpacked a huge battle station. He uses his own resources to to do it. He brings out his entourage. This guys has Indomable Giants Spirit.

I used to look to Hope as the Beacon. She's in Heaven now. Frenchie is my new Hope!

care about the team when they are down and cannot completely tune out! can also be critical. they can also look for progress without wanting to burn the whole thing down.

and I'm not quitting them now. It's like Brokeback Mountain, I just can't quite them! There will come a time when the Giants are a good team again, and I want to be there cheering when they do.

That said, I do believe this team has talent, and even if there are wholesale changes after the season, I think they're poised for a resurgence at some point. The one thing I can't figure out is why the defense has been so inconsistent. I don't understand it but I hope every day they figure it out...

expecting to lose want to see progress and who should stay and who should go!

win or lose. I’ve lost that anticipation I used to feel on Sunday mornings (more like a thud of dejection), but I’ve loved being a Giants fan. Over the long haul, the team has been good to me.

i mean this is nothing like the 20 plus year wait to win a division in 86 or the 18 year playoff drought! so too much bellyaching from Giants fans.

by rooting for the team in the late 60's and through the 70's.
Once a Giant fan always a Giants fan !!!
Go Giants

their displeasure but there are certain fans who only complain when things bad and then disappear when things are good that get to me...

Kudos to 18E and Go Giants!!

and I always will

Always can find something or someone to root for.

Guess what - the Knicks are relevant again, and fun to watch. Why not the Giants? I’m in it for the long haul.

We won 4 super bowls in our life times, let's have some perspective here. Some of the top teams we cream about today in the NFL were perennial losers who finally have turned the corner after decades of mediocrity. We are just going to have to endure this until our time comes around again. Look for the positives were you can and be patient with the rest. There are teams (Bills, Cleveland) still looking for their FIRST championship.

I still watch every game. When you bleed Blue and love a team, it hurts but you still have that love.

here bragging about how little they care or are, in fact, rooting for losses.

There is no joy with out pain. Times are tough but this is a proud franchise. 4 fucking Super Bowls.

We’re not as far off as the majority thinks.

Let’s go!

Been that way for 50+ years. Can't wait to see them face the Rams today and pull out a win. And if they lose, I'll be back at watching them try to win again next week! Go Giants!

You got me fired up, Gidie.

My Giants flag is flying like it’s been every gameday since I bought my house 15 years ago. LFG

I am with Vinny, except a few less years for me.

Win, lose or blow outs. Go Giants!

One of the most puzzling things about this site, are fans who take the time to come here to tell us they don’t care anymore.

I don’t judge them, but I d be lying if I didn’t say,” I can’t relate to it. “

Being a fan is about the thrill of victory and agony of defeat (hahaha) , it s fun, it s exciting, it s disappointing it s frustrating.

It s a big part of our families sport s entertainment, been a family tradition for over 60 years, love it.

Not saying those who lose interest during the losing are “front runners” but certainly they lack the same passion those of us who who stay the course during the losing do.

But more out of habit. The product is absolute garbage & has been for years. Hell, I am not even asking for a Super Bowl. I am looking to be in contention/in the mix when Halloween rolls around.

of Rams fans at the stadium.

i might be delusional but that's part of being a fan

Oh, what a night
Late December, back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night

I hope not. But today is a tall order

That doesn't mean that I won't recognize shit when it's in front of me. We are all die-hards here.

5:45 -- what are you doing -- bresking the gates down?

...

Still love em.

but for some of the devoted, are they devoted to the team, or to a team themed party?

I have some laundry to do and it’s a beautiful day out there in the northeast. Not sure why anyone would watch the second half.

I think opposite. When I was growign up watchign football I can recall chants of

"!5 years of lousy Football, we've had enough!"

And the chants of
"We want Madden!"

I look up to that. I felt for a few years that overall too many don't.
t care as much if they lose but instead just want to cheer.

That's not a football fan I admire. It's not a sports fan I admire.

And I think those type of fans give guys like Mara and the Knicks owner, Dolan, a sense that what they are doing is okay.

What was Mara's most recent comment? That he thinks fans will START to lose faith/credibility in the team? And we're supposed to cheer that type of incompetence? Nah.

The complaining on here or nay site is harmless anyway. But it deserves to continue.

a fair weather fan. I use to be a diehard; didn’t miss a game on tv from my early teens until my early 50’s. At some point I realized I was expending too much personal capital into a team I had no influence on which was playing a game that had been changing for the worse.

So now I follow along and try to be optimistic in the off-season but as soon as the season begins to turn sour my interest in the team fades fast. My interest in the NFL in general is very low ever since I stopped playing fantasy football over a decade ago.

Today, the game wasn’t on in my area so I decided to go to few stores. I returned just before half time, checked the score and was relieved that I made the best choice today.
