I’ve never reached this point with the Giants before. I simply don’t care much anymore. This is how I felt about the Knicks 5-10 years ago. I just expect everything they try to do to be a miserable failure
I used to let losses bother me, now? I don’t even care. This team has no direction, no identity. They’re losers. They will be losers as long as Mara and his cronies are there. People need to stop going to games and buying merchandise.
But, I remember the night of the Eagles playoff loss you started a thread saying the arrow was pointing up. I think a lot of us thought it. Sucks how wrong we all were.
I used to get really frustrated at these types of losses. Now I just don’t care. This team is a boring mess and it is hard to see the path back to respectability with such incompetent people hiring more incompetent people.
I think apathy is fair to say. I believe I would have felt the same if we pulled this one out as I do now. I just dont care and trying to care isnt working anymore.
I r emember in 2011 I was so excited to finally get season tickets
Season tickets since the 1950’s I watch today game and didn’t really care, I know 100 people will take my place but the giants have sapped me of my interest
til the NBA starts, cant wait for the Knicks season..
I can watch the Giants and watch the young guys and see players for the future but i cant be locked in to a team that has zero chance and with a QB who is not the future..
I will always root for wins but there was a time a loss like today would effect the rest of my night and not watch anymore games...
Not anymore
RE: I r emember in 2011 I was so excited to finally get season tickets
This ownership has no clue how to dig the Giants out of this 11 year mess. They are too dumb to hire a football operations director. It will take lucking ass backwards into an elite qb in the next draft or 2.
this year is different though. the apathy doesnt usually kick in til youre realistically, if not mathematically, eliminated. This year, for me at least, it came with the start of the season.
I said that's how I feel before the season even began. I am a passive
fan now. I have never felt that way. 0-2? Oh well. I ll save my energy for when this team deserves it. Am I still a Giants fan. Of course I m a fan. Just tempered my enthusiasm.
The Mara’s aren’t particularly smart people, right place at right time, Wellington wasn’t greedy but what made him a good owner? John Mara shouldn’t run a McDonald’s but his name says otherwise.
When I was younger I used to hate "bandwagon" fans. Now I get it. I'll never switch teams but I've spent a ridiculous amount of time watching the Giants play just absolutely horrid football with no clear upward trajectory, i'm relatively done doing so.
I enjoy reading reactions here and pondering who the next regime will be. For all of the meddling comments Mara gets around here, my biggest concern is more simple - he has proven to be absolutely atrocious at hiring. He should totally bow out of the process at this point. Hire an outside consulting firm. Won't happen though.

It was such a beautiful day, and I was tired of the endless commercials (NFL games are basically a TV commercial, mostly for FF and betting, with some football mixed in) and endless drives by Washington.
At least there was no moronic "it's 3rd down!!!" being piped out of the PA, preceding another 3rd down conversion.
Went out for a nice bike ride; who cares I thought, they'll figure out a way to lose.
and are a chore to watch. Just a very poor example of what good teams in the NFL do week in and week out. And it looks like it is not going to change for a while. Forget wasting your time on them on nice fall Sundays. When it is a rainy Sunday or when the cold weather comes later in the season maybe then it will be possible to justify watching a game.
The doctors, at first, said I’d be lucky to make it to the summer of 2025 but I know I’ll surpass that (with ease) and I’m doing my best to keep the cancer at bay. But something tells me I might not live long enough to see winning football from the Giants again. I wonder if I’ll keep watching. I wonder if I care anymore. 45 years of rooting and now this.
It annoys me that they are now depriving us of entire seasons.
He took a much worse roster during his first year in 2022 and turned them into a good team; a team that had most of the bounces go their way because their coach created those opportunities. I thought they finally had a guy cut from the same cloth as Parcells who thinks outside the box.
How did that guy have his team come out of training camp totally unprepared...two years in a row?
This is the first year for me it’s set in, last week I was livid, but this week I saw the writing on the wall and realized we are very broken. Too much going on to care
Watching the game today I wasn't even sure if I wanted them to win or not. Can't believe I'm already thinking about tanking in week 2.
I'm really more rooting for young player to develop at this point than I am wins. Loved seeing how well Dru Phillips and Nabers looked.
The kicker situation didn't even make me angry, just laughed at the absolute level of incompetence knowingly going into the game with an injured kicker. I mean how fucking stupid are they????
coping mechanism. I share your apathy. This was a once proud and well run organization. We're now the laughingstock of the league. Thankfully, it's only a game and not life or death.

Is that it has to get worse before it gets better. And that’s what this season is all about. A win today would have been useless for the long term. So I was more “amused” by how they lost than angry that they lost.

How did that guy morph into Joe Judge?
I'm starting to think he was always Joe Judge. The 6-1 start was a mirage, as we were pretty bad the rest of that year as well and just lucked into an overrated Vikings team in the first round.

he was all along. The 7-2 start and the playoff game sucked everyone in. We ignored that they went 2-5-1 to finish out the year. The team has gone 8-18-1 since that 7-2 start. He's not a good HC and he hasn't been one.
Don’t give me the 1970s crap response. In football today rebuilds and turnarounds can happen in a year(not the Giants).
Plus the rule changes help you and the expanded playoff format.
We’re the new Cleveland Browns.
I still watch the Giants on Sunday but just sit there quietly and expect them to find a way to lose the game.
I never watched quietly, I was always heavily invested in the game and got loud and upset when things didn't go well.
For 40 years I was an excited fan.
The organization did a great job of beating it out of me.
And my 15 year old son could not possibly care less.
Great job Mara.

Lol yep I literally went to the Dolphins game last year just to see this one girl so we could ...
Study together? Forget the game.

I wasn't wrong.
Boring and bad....
And although I know I shouldn't be at this point, but I continue to be amazed at the different ways/circumstances we find to lose games.
Oh fuck you.
As far as my emotions during each game - mostly numb.

You are the worst.
Same. I expect poor play and results now.
To that 4XChamps of the world, how dare you. Enjoy your medium Pepsis & STFU.

4xchamps is an angry troll. Nobody should be acknowledging his existence. This Giants team is the one he deserves.
It's time to really embarrass Mara.
Alas, I don't think enough of the base is willing to go there.
I'll root for you. You sound like a winner to me.
