NY Giants fans talking up the Panthers??

I don't know how many of you go to the other team fan pages, but I try to do it at least once each game week. I have to say it was really surprising to see their comments. Sure they have some fans like we do about how the "Sky is falling" or "Super Bowl Bound". However for the most part the NY fans seem to be more confident about the Panthers than most on this site. They seem to be really worried about the Panthers coming in and beating them. Best part was a comment from one fan

John Fox seems to know how to play Coughlin teams
Maybe it is true maybe not, but they seem to be scared of the Fox.

Just one of the pages if anyone cares:

That was actually a good to read. Of course it seems like most are picking the Giants (as they should as Giant fans) but they don't sound to convinced its going to happen!

I read a few more of their treads and was surprised to see you could actually talk about YOUR opinion of the team and have a civil conversation with no "you fail" pictures posted everywhere...what is that, I don't even :eek:

I wonder why there are no threads here proclaiming the strengths of our opponent, whether it be out of respect, or just objective observations? Oh wait...it's the Giants.

But still, all you will see here are threads doubting our own players before props or respect are given for an opponents' abilities. Oh wait...it's teh huddle!!11!!

We have threads doubting our own players and team....now you expect threads giving props and respect to the other team? WTF

If you want threads about the abilities of other teams, feel free to visit their boards.

I forgot to hit the sarcasm button. I've browsed some other teams boards, and they will spout their own doom and gloom, a lot of it worse than what you see here.

I'm not looking for threads breaking down all the good things about team ABC - let's be clear on that. OP said that the NYG board seemed more confident in our team than we might be. You don't see that here, just my opinion though.

Yeah it's weird.

I know we destroyed them last year but still, it's odd not seeing many trash talk. I've cycled through a couple of their forums, the majority are respectful and have known quite a bit about Panther football.

For the most part, Giants fans are fans of the game itself and their football knowledge extends well beyond their own team. Of course there are always exceptions but for the most part I usually enjoy talking/arguing football with Giants fans.

Me too lately. For the most part, they'll give you an unbiased debate. The exact opposites of most Cowboy fans that just throw out how many rings they've won when they find themselves in a losing argument.

Makes more sense with the sarcasm button.....Now back to what is important....how we will christen NY Stadium with another beatdown.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.

      Not unexpected: Panthers raise season ticket prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
