I notice a "fans" praising the Giants

An ownership group that doesn't tolerate mediocrity, what a novel thought

This is a depressingly common example of the "I'd rather see the Panthers lose" phenomenon I discussed in my post yesterday, this idea that:

A: Every organization is better than ours

and

B: The Panthers are mediocre

Let's compare our records over the last five years (including this year):

Panthers: 48-27-1, three division titles, one Super Bowl appearance
Giants: 32-44, no division titles, one playoff appearance

The latter is what true mediocrity looks like.

Ironically, the two successful years the Giants have had in recent memory (2007 and 2011) were in regular seasons where they snuck into the playoffs and managed to win as underdogs. Imagine if Mara had fired their coach in 2011 after their four-game skid that got them to 6-6, or with two weeks left where they were 7-7?

This is exactly what the "fans" that want us to lose would like to see, going into a month that is historically our best and when we are basically set to make the playoffs if we win two or three games.

Our motto is "Keep Pounding", not "give up". Let's Keep Pounding for a strong finish.

The Giants have two superbowls in ten years. We have participation trophies. They are on their way to getting the best GM we ever had

The Giants should have fired their coach in 2011 when they were 6-6 with your logic. Can't tolerate mediocrity!

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
