That damn Saints game is gonna save everyone's job....

1. People buy the crap that weeks 1 through 3 are now considered the new preseason

2. We are an organization that is reluctant to fire people and reluctant to tear things down.

3. Mara is going to believe that that was the one game after the team had time to gel where we were somewhat healthy and the team came together and beat a good team on the road.

4. Our slew of recent first round draft picks all played well that day, and they desperately want to be right on those guys.

5. History says that we will win enough meaningful games late to ruin our draft pick.

And at the end of the season, Mara will give the same old speech that he's disappointed but he saw enough to keep things together

This is my fear....
Just like the Seattle game last year

papered over how bad we were. The other 5 wins all against backup QB’s on teams with a combined 28-50-2 record.
A similar game against the Eagles

saved Eli from getting the ax.
Giants are afraid to fire people!

Let s ask, Coughlin, Reese, MacAdoo, and Shurmur all fired within the last 7 years if they agree with that assessment.

If you re going to create a narrative let s not have revisionist history.

I m very confident if there is not significant improvement over the next 11 weeks, there will be another 1 or more people added to the above list, Mara has become more impatient over the years not less
There are 11 games left

Because they won the Saints game the future is decided? Ok…
I wonder if fans of other teams think this way

if we finish 4-13 you really think bearing a maybe not even .500 Saints team will have any bearing at all on what decisions we make as an organization?

No it won't. You're reading WAY too much into that game. BTW, a game where we were fortunate to win.

Mara might be a football buffoon-I'd argue he is-but there's no chance he brings the entire gang back. Dude is obsessed with optics.
There is no one game...

That can put lipstick on this pig. The Giants have been bad against bad teams, terrible against good teams, and out classed by very good teams. This is a bad team playing poorly. It is a team berift of talent and injury riddled.

It's a big mess that won't be fixed by firing the coach and GM. Chris Mara has to be thrown out and the Giants must get a modern approach to evaluate players...
There is a fairly decent chance this team

doesn't win more than 1 or 2 more games all year.

Nobody should overthink the importance of the comeback against the Saints....
LOL

yeah 1-16 is so much better than 0-17....
