  • We're expeting server maintenance on March 3rd starting at midnight, there may be downtime during the work.
After 46 years of watching football, I still have no idea what is and what isn’t pass interference. The league confirmed that confusion yet again tonight.
 
I'd bet all my money the Jets not only win next week but blow us out. John Mara should sell this utter cesspool of a franchise. The Giants will lose to the Jets and Miami. Might win one more game if a team has a huge letdown like the Pats did against us, without having the talent of the Pats.

NFL refs have made it abundantly clear they're going to err on the side of not overturning their calls on review. Fundamentally they have every reason not to as every reversal diminishes their credibility.

I don't understand how he can think he's going to get that call overturned there. But if he doesn't think it will be overturned - how is he so casually wasting a timeout in a one possession game with a rookie qb who obviously will benefit from having as many timeouts at his disposal regardless.

This was and so painfully obviously continues to be a lost/rebuilding season for the Giants. But I have seen nothing from Shurmer to make me believe he is the right coach to lead this team out of this nightmare.

LOL, do not be so sure of that at all.

The Jets will come out fired up after embarrassing themselves against Miami and will have a game where magically Darnold becomes #3 overall worthy and will find a bunch of open receivers all over the field. I'm sure Daniel Jones will gift the Jets the ball 3 times. Honestly, this game really changed my mind on Jones. He doesn't get "he's a rookie" pass anymore. His turnovers are beyond the pale for anyone. He's in danger of being guy with lots of talent that couldn't make it in this league.

That challenge is a disgrace to a league that is complete garbage. They make a rule their own refs aren't following. It's just wasting coaches' challenges too. At this point, they should know better, but basically the refs are actively screwing coaches by not following rules and having them waste timeouts. That's not negligence that's corruption.

Yeah I really think the Jets win that game. I just think Darnold is going to light up this defense

I'll be disappointed in Draftkings if they don't have an Over/Under total turnovers between the two quarterbacks next week.

Not sure if it's what you meant, but there's a good chance John Mara is one of, if not, the biggest reason for the current cesspool state of this franchise.

Giants ownership has consistently shown an inability to look anywhere but backwards ever since our last Superbowl title. They were way too cautious and conservative in getting rid of Reese. They were way too cautious and conservative in getting rid of Manning. When it came time for a new GM they went with the guy that sold them on taking the team back to a "classic" era of football that hasn't really existed for 10+ years. And as part of that overhaul, the team flushed every controversial personality from the roster, regardless of skill level.

This team is being run as if it is a completely different era - and certainly not one in which the Giants have become the LAUGHINGSTOCK of the NFC East. They have just been SWEPT BY THE COWBOYS for the 3RD CONSECUTIVE SEASON. And guess what - they're's a real good chance they're going to suck next year, too.

At this point Giants ownership is clearly the biggest problem with the franchise.
