I don't know if I can continue being a fan

I couldn't agree more. I'm disgusted. This organization is a complete embarrassment and I don't see it changing.

Drew Lock making like Josh Allen and Marsette taking one to the house are both unlikely to repeat even against Philly back-ups. One of the QB is still in play at 4 but if we win again and drop to 8 or 9 it will be Carson Beck or similar day 2. Only time will tell how it all plays out but I guess there is still some pride in that locker room and maybe even more belief in the HC than I believed. You can never criticise pros for being pros, no matter how it hurts strategically.
If you live your life as a pessimist you never really live your life at all.

Quote from: MightyGiants on December 29, 2024, 04:11:09 PMI am not surprised; the Giants do everything in their power to remain mediocre, including winning meaningless games when almost every fan wanted them to lose  :surrender:

Perhaps, Rich @MightyGiants , but if they stay at #3, they're still going to get a quality player and , possibly, one of the two QBs (NOTE: if you're enamored enough to draft one of them). If the QBs are gone, then Hunter is there, Banks Jr. is there, and really the entire draft board is available for the picking. The only thing they really lose is the potential to gain draft capital for 2026 with the option to move out of the #1.

Personally, I was never in favor of the two QBs in the first place so, if their winning today takes them out of the discussion, then that's fine by me.

Fix the damned offensive line first. Then, go find yourself a quarterback that you can protect.

I'm sure there will be plenty of fretting leading into the Iggles game. I was mistaken about today, and I may be mistaken about next week, but the Iggles will be foolish to blow off next week's game and think they can just turn it on in the post-season like a light switch. What they did to Dallas today is what they should do to the Giants in the first half next week.

Peace!

Quote from: Ed Vette on December 29, 2024, 04:31:35 PMDon't force it. Some times things are meant to be. A lot of first pick busts over the years.



I agree, Ed. People act like it's over. We're still gonna have a very high pic and it looks like we desperately need a shut down corner. We could also use help on the offensive line.

Who's playing QB?

How have those high picks worked out for us in the past?

You can't win in this league without a QB.  If they don't like either of the top 2 QBs, 1st overall gave them a shot at gaining capital for next year.

I'm just so sick of this franchise.

Chris,

Do you honestly think the Giants can't defeat the Eagles' second-stringers?  This team is will drop some more

You need a good qb to benefit from a good line

The first 6 weeks of the season the o-line was more than fine .... But Jones couldn't capitalize

We can't keep "building"

The longer we build we will just keep "building" because we keep drafting players to just replace the f*** previous players we drafted to "build"

This was the most idiotic win ever

Even if they didn't want one of the QB's they could've still had the #1 pick and get who they want with it or trade back and get more pieces ... but I doubt that was the goal

Messiah717

Yes, the offensive line is important but how much longer do you want to be in QB hell?

Painter

So now, it's all cockadoodle to be determined by someone else before we can decide who to blame. Of one thing we can be sure, the Giants won't score enough to win for as long as the Eagles have to play their No.1s to get Barkley the rushing record.

In any case, it was nice to see them throwing deep for at least one game this season. And of course, the NFL from the Draft onward is always more about chance than anything else, so why fret?

Cheers!

Great question. I was pushing for Donald before this season even began. That ship has sailed his values too high. In fact any team that signs them into a contract is probably gonna overpay


We can resign Lock, we could go after Jameis Winston, Andy Dalton, Zach, Wilson, or Justin Fields

The last two would have a chance to resurrect their careers.

This move would enable us to draft at other spots that are greatly needed and we can go after a quarterback in 2026


Another option is drafting Dart or Milroe.... In the late first or early second round.


Let them sit for most of next year and hopefully we strike gold

Patriots are sitting pretty..will look to get a nice package for their pick (the Giants?) :sick: .

I actually love #3 overall; it could alleviate the pressure of taking Sanders or Ward, leaving us with college footballs best player as a consolation prize.  I know, I KNOW...we need a QB and nothing will change until we secure one.  That may have to wait until 2026; I'm also ok with gambling on Milroe, in the appropriate round/pick.

Or they just take Hunter.  They need playmakers...they currently have none.








Jclayton92

I might be the only person here happy, us picking 3rd virtually guarantees we don't reach for an average qb and can take Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, or Will Johnson.
