Quote from: Painter on December 17, 2023, 08:54:38 PMIt's known as a lack of talent in 3 of 5 positions at best- and that is when Thomas is healthy- and by no means is it, nor has it been something new where the Giants are concerned. And yet, only now does it seem that more folks may be ready to join the few of us who have been pressing the issue seemingly in vain. And by all means let's be clear, if they don't add the talent needed to significantly improve the Oline's performance, it won't matter who's calling signals at the team's "most important position".

Cheers!

By my profile I have made 5065 posts to BBH--Conservatively perhaps 5000 of those have been about our inept OL--I think we are all preaching to the choir

How the hell can so many fans be so wrong about the team that they root for?

I cant go on any more about the state of our OL

The team we played today is NOT a defensive juggernaught--they were NOT the terror of the league in the sack or pressure dept  but we made them look like the 85 Bears or like some of the Giants premier Defensive teams

I dont even want to put my name to this post

Right now, the New Jersey Giants fans have something to lift their spirits. The team's won three straight. There's a QB who seems to be improving rather than doing the retro cha-cha. The team itself is taking the field with a 'Can do!' attitude. And there's your OP, doom 'n gloomin' it.

C'mon, man. Smile. It may not last, but in sports, nothing's forever.

Go flag free, Big Blue!

If there is ANYTHING that can turn me off quicker than being accused of doom and gloomin it, on BBH, I dont know what it is

I'll just let it go that you have no damn clue what I am taking about-  everyone deserves a second chance

Dan

No Money--no sense in looking in the Dumpster

Too bad because there were and are some possibilities

Dan

Some of us fight to the end

Sorry  I should have been more specific--I think Leek has a typo   I think the Panthers would have to upset Atlanta to have his scenario work out

I get the point though   its amazing that the Giants are NOT mathematically eliminated yet--and damn well do have a chance--Huge game this weekend  but win Sunday and then they would need to win two out of three--a very very very tall order   UNLESS the Eagles play their scrubs last game of the year..  To take it further--If the Giants win vs the Saints and lose to the Rams  it is over--doesnt matter what happens in the last game

Remember Jimmy I had the same math training as you did   LOL!!!!

Why do you think I have a hard time talking about next years draft when this season isnt over yet??   

Dan

I'm not sure that is correct


Dumpster Dan

If Waller gets activated who gets cut or put on IR??

Dumpster Dan

ED and DB

My apologies--I guess I need to read the posts yet again another time

The title of the thread is we are currently picking 5th--and most of the talk was about a QB so I connected the two--I guess I shouldnt have.  Are you telling me DB that there hasnt been talk on here about getting that elite QB or else the Giants are going nowhere?

And ED just an  FYI--I believe that the Giants can split (agree a massive order) with the Eagles and make the playoffs

Dumpster Dan

I have read EVERY post today, some twice and I didnt know which one to reply to  so I picked this one--I have so much respect for all of you and the varied opinions  but I have a favor to ask

I would love to hear how all of you think we are going to get the elite QB you all (at least most of you, including me)want  when we are picking 10-12  because that's  about where we will be picking.

Are we so immune to the word "playoffs" that it is a forbidden word?  Have any of you really spent any amount of time on the remaining four games and how they might play out and determine if the Giants can now be in the playoff talk legitimately?

I am not saying that they are at this stage a playoff team or definitely beyond that but todays NFL is what it is--Do any of you realize how 'MATHEMATICALLY" last nights victory changed the playoff talk?  Cant we spend a little time on that today?  Do any of you understand that we can LOSE next week to the Saints but still be in the hunt and win next week vs the Saints and LOSE to the Rams and it is over?  Then we can IMHO talk about draft position and how we are going to get the elite QB we all pine for

I totally understand that the vast difference in ages between me and many of you makes it that much easier to talk about the future--Many of you will have many many more seasons to hope and die for a elite QB.  I am more focused on the now--and the now for me TODAY is that 7th spot in the seeding.  What would some of you think if I told you that a very wild scenario would put the Giants in the 6th spot? Crazy huh??

So I am seriously asking for you knowledgeable fans to help me in figuring out how do we get that elite QB when we are picking close to middle of the pecking order?

Thanks

Dumpster Dan

The only thing I will add or ask tonight

Did the Giants have any games this year where the opponent had ZERO sacks???


Dumpster Dan

If this isnt concrete proof these kinds of things are totally meaningless I dont know wht more we want

Definitely a shame as this is going to go down as a very forgettable season no matter what. We'll end up drafting some O lineman and running it back with Jones, DeVito, and either Taylor or some other journeyman vet again.

And I can almost guarantee you that one year from today fans will still be complaining about the O line.

Let me remind everyone that EVERY year we say that the "draft is a crapshoot"   Also the Texans screwed themselves last year by winning their final game and dropping out of slot #1 to slot # 2.  They "settled" for CJ Stroud instead of most everyones #1  Bryce Young.  How did that turn out?   The Texans would make that trade every Week

You won't hear the O line complaining stop until we have a new QB who is actually a legit talent.

Dumpster Dan

Its a great trivia question

I'm surprised some of the followers of the 60's Giants don't remember.

Dumpster Dan

I didnt mean to hijack this thread

I dont think it has been answered yet
