Did we just lose ?

g56blue10 : 11/28/2021 6:14 pm
Man I get it wasn’t pretty but we use to understand division games were battles that rarely looked good. We just won abs the lever of anger, disgust and depression is frightening. If we can enjoy a division win then why even bother to watch ?

Not saying there shouldn’t be some level critique occurring but people shouldn’t be jumping off the cliff..

Um. No? Wins against the Eagles are the best.
I’m happy!

Any win is a great win at this point.
We just jettisonned the Cowboy double agent  
Debaser : 11/28/2021 6:17 pm : link
and the Gianys offense was supposed to look like 2007 Patriots instead they looked pretty much like the same shitty team as before that played not to lose and almost did.
I’m happy!

Up this game I kept on hearing about how hot of a team the Eagles were.. yet we beat them.. the play calling looked much better to me despite the outcome of the plays.. I’ll be curious to see how the offense develops over the remainder of the season..

I'll sleep like a baby tonight. A 2 game winning streak against

the Eagles is nice, but my takeaway is that I think we're on the way up and they are maybe treading water. What's not to like?

I didn't read the game thread  
D HOS : 11/28/2021 6:24 pm : link
and I cheered and jeered and am so happy we won. I don't care if we beat the eagles 3-0. 2-0. 10-9. I don't care. Beat the eagles. Full stop.

Beat the Eagles, no serious injuries. Save the bitching for another game.
This is exhibit A

Of the anti defense win ugly bias here and all over the NFL. Win 38-34 and you’re beautiful. Win 16-0 and the sky is falling.

Not every game needs to be a referendum. Just shut the fuck up and enjoy a win against Philly and worry about the state of this franchise and qb another day.

These are the games that get you to 9-10-11 wins. Not saying the giants will do that but you have to win ugly games like this.
I m with you g56

Feeling good about win over Eagles

I think some have such distain for Jones, Judge, Mara, Gettleman, they can’t enjoy an ugly win against a team that has had several ugly wins against the Giants.

Said in another thread, must suck to be a fan that s miserable and angry even in victory
Thought the same thing  
John In CO : 11/28/2021 6:31 pm : link
Reading the comments after the game here made me wonder exactly what the reason is that I even go to this site. Its just an bottomless pit of misery...same shit every day...win or lose...DG, OL, Jones, Mara, SB, rinse, repeat for the past 4-5 years. Not even a win over the EAGLES is enough to stop the whinefest. I guess im weird, I still like to root for my team and am happy on those rare occasions when they win a game, and I dont give a flying F if the reason they win is because the other team played worse. Who cares.....more games are lost in this league than are won, and today the Giants didnt lose. But you sure wouldnt know it here. Good thing there is no $$$ charge for this site cause if there was id be outta here in a second today.
And the shitty eagles fans

were not only counting this as an easy win, but had actually started being hopeful about their team having a shot at the playoffs.

I’m sure Philly fans never said this about the giants the last 30 years.

Funny how that works. We aren’t allowed to enjoy what Philly fans have enjoyed time and time again?

So did the WFT and the Falcons and the Eagles when they won on the Engram drop and God knows how many other teams that have beaten us due to the Giants playing shitty football, dropping Int's fumbling, penalties.....did they all say "well we didnt really WIN, it was the Giants who lost"? Probably not. Why? Cause I think other fans -SMART fans, which we are in short supply of around here, are smart enough to know that the dont put asterisks by the win totals to signify wins that occurred due to the shittiness of the opposition! You are fortunate enough to win a game in the NFL, appreciate it. Period.

Oh it counts but it doesn’t matter which is what I was conveying. It’s not the type of win you build off of and it isn’t going to get us into the playoffs either. It’s the kind of win where the players and coaches say, at least we didn’t lose.

And not surprised you missed it based on the quality of your posting...

Exactly! I'm much happier the Giants won, regardless of the circumstances. I keep hearing we should've lost because of dropped balls by the Eagles or other reasons. Maybe the NFL can change wins and losses to should have won or the other team beat themselves. That gives us a couple more wins against the WFT and Falcons!
We beat the Eagles ...

I’m very happy the Giants won. I’m always happy when they win.

I’m also very cognizant of how feckless the offensive cornerstones and play calling look.

= a little extra pep in my step the whole week.

But let’s be clear about something - yes, this site can seem like a bottomless pit of misery at times, especially lately, but if that’s the case, blame John Mara and Dave Gettleman for the shitty product they put on the field. Don’t blame the loyal fans for being pissed off about it.

If we can enjoy a division win then why even bother to watch ?


This team is a chore to watch and I gain zero pleasure watching them win most games. This is not even NFL level football at this point. I watched today hoping for a bit of a better offense, of course not, it was pathetic. I don't even know why I watch them anymore. Even their wins are pathetic.

For most of BBI it is about wins, unfortunately there are some who would rather see them lose because they don’t like where the QB and RB were drafted

varco : 11/28/2021 8:28 pm : link
An ugly win is still a W in the records. The key is that they won as a team - ugly is OK. There will be games like this and I'd rather they come away with a win than looking pretty but losing. At least it is a step forward and gets them used to the idea that games against division rivals are winnable. They are not a championship team by any stretch of the imagination (or even close) but the first step is to become competitive and squeak out wins when not hitting on all or many cylinders.
Four turnovers and the score was still

You do realize that one was the last play of the 1st half and with the last one they were just making Philly use their TO to milk the clock
We have lost plenty of games that “we should have won”  
Scuzzlebutt : 11/28/2021 9:11 pm : link
I would much rather win a game we “should have lost.” I am happy whenever the Giants win and I am happy whenever the Eagles lose, so I am twice as happy tonight.

Lot’s of “fans” would rather bitch that it wasn’t pretty enough… what a miserable life that must be. I am glad I don’t have that problem.
The Eagles were on a roll, coming in ....  
Manny in CA : 11/28/2021 10:15 pm : link

They had just put 40 on a battered Saints team, but the week before they put 30 on a good Denver team ....

So, yes, it a very good WIN.

Even though it appeared NY was committed to get the ball to both Barkley and Golladay more, I thought Kitchens’ first game coming after a MNF game was decent. I think he will now have a few more days to install and practice “his plays” .

Four turnovers was huge….could have been five if either Love or McKinney hold on to one in their hands.
