It could be worse......we could be Steeler fans!

This is true, they are real badddd.

 

[Brettski]

Nope.

I try to recall, what game since I became a fan in the 70's, which defeat could be more of a complete meltdown....

I can only come up with the patterson plank joe game...

Now that team didn't have 1/2 the talent...but 4th down and 10, with a sack all but assured....

I feel ill today

 

[JimG.]

Wow, they almost wrecked all the good vibes I got skiing a bunch this weekend.

But I got smart...I suspected a comeback when they didn't score a point in the 3rd...so I turned their asses off when Tennessee scored their first touchdown.

And I didn't go back until the horrible outcome was assured.

But I suspect the usual from them...a big comeback win against the cowgirls next weekend.

They should give J-Load the ball. He can't do any worse then Eli has been doing, he might give the team a spark, plus it would be cool seein a 330 lb QB start in the NFL.:flag:

"so I turned their asses off when Tennessee scored their first touchdown."
Typical Giants fan...only a fan when they're doing good. I guess you'll be a Cowboys fan after next weekend. Throwing the ball on 2nd and 4- (with Tiki Barber in the backfield)--- PRICELESS!

I've been a Giants fan for over 40 years...I've earned the right to turn their asses off now and again. I've suffered through some of the worst football ever over the years.

And as for ever being a Cowgirls fan...I will die before that ever becomes a remote possibility.

You sound like a Jets fan.

I ended up not seeing the game but not by choice. Normaly I get the gents on Fox but yesterday it was replaced by the Pats/Bears game. I kept track of the game on live play by play so after the first half I felt pretty good so I went to watch the Pats game. I'm glad I missed the game as the Pats game was great.

That last minute fumble Brett mentioned was a real hair puller but they were pretty bad at that time. There have also been a couple of other hair pullers this year for other teams so for some wierd reason I don't feel that bad..

Being a fan for 50 years, my grandfather worked at Yankee Stadium for over 40 years, the worst moment for me was that Steelers game in which YA Title was pummeled(sic) into retirement. The end of an era.

I too would play Jacobs alot more as he was the only bright spot yesterday.

I don't post but do check the forum on the Giants website, very entertaing, like TGR but about the gents and they are screaming to bench Eli...but who replace him?

Perfect for Turkey day.

'You sound like a Jets fan'

Close enough...Jets are coached by a Belichick clone.

I'll never be a Jets fan, but I do like the way they have played under Mangini...that guy is going to do some great things. In fact, I think the Jets' chances of going to the playoffs are better at this point than the Giants.

 

[rob56789]

No way the AFC is way too tough with the patriots in the same division as the jets and idk if the wild card will fall in thier division either

 

[jack97]

With Eli at the helm, you have to give the giants fan a mulligan for jumping on and off the wagon. The kid will make you grow old fast. He has to work on improving all aspects of his game or he will end up like Ryan Leaf. Lots of physical upside but a complete waste in the pro game.

 

[andyzee]

I remember one rookie Giants quarterback that for his first few years, it took a few interceptions for him to warm up. What was his name, oh yeah, Phil Simms.

With Simms, you could see improvement over the course of the season and every year. One of the reasons why he’s a great analyst is he understands the pro game. When playing, he was called a smart player or a student of the game. I remember the sb he played in, most of the replays showed that he made the right reads, the right throws and was cool under pressure. That just doesn't happen by itself, that guy worked hard on it.

Ditto with Montanna, Walsh said that he and Rice would work endlessly in the offseason on their timing routes. Same with Peyton and Harrison....I see a trend.

 

[ski_resort_observer]

Good point...maybe less time on those commercials where he and big bro act like a couple of 12 yo's and more time on let me see.....timing!

Yes, he makes rookie mistakes, but at the same time, I see improvement from last year. Well, just hope for the best.

even though i dont like eli very much, he still has a better record in his first 3 years than alot of QB's including his brother i think
