Final: Panthers 41, Giants 9

Let me say 1st that when I started my day it was ugly hearing "Panthers suck" and that I suck as well all day....I'm glad my dad finally told my mom to shut up anyway I survived the day and now I'm over the game from last night and then I remembered a game from a couple of years ago read below.

We destroyed the Giants 41-9 and look at them now. This is the NFL we will get our ass kicked sometimes, it happens...I didnt see the Giants fire the head coach, bench the QB and sell the team. I'm pissed at what happened but c'mon folks.

For a brief moment Sunday afternoon, it looked as if the Giants had the upper hand in the game against the Carolina Panthers and a promising shot at a playoff spot.

It came in the middle of the first quarter when quarterback Eli Manning found wide receiver Steve Smith in the end zone for what looked like a touchdown on a 26-yard passing play on the Giants’ first drive. But the play was nullified by a holding penalty against fullback Madison Hedgecock.

Three plays later, the drive was nullified when wide receiver Mario Manningham fumbled on the Carolina 14-yard line and it was recovered by the Panthers. And everything unraveled from there in the Giants’ final regular-season home game in their current Giants Stadium.

The Panthers took the ball and drove down field for a field goal and went on to a 41-9 victory that left the Giants on the brink of elimination.

since then the giants have added another lombardi trophy to their case and the panthers have managed to win 10 games out of 36 but yeah, you're right, everything is fine, carry on with business as usual, no need to change anything

no one is saying this.

they're not just freaking out and acting like its all over.

There's a point...and you missed it.

i got the point. you missed mine

I understand what you were trying to say. The point of the OP though, was what the Giants managed to do after such a humiliating loss. Something that you already listed in your response. That isn't to say that we are on the same track, or that the OP expects us to follow in those footsteps, but that one loss doesn't define a team. Sure you can look at what we've done leading up to this point, as 200 threads over the last 24 hours already have, or you can look forward, which was the point of the thread. That doesn't mean that we are expected to carry forward toward success without any changes, just that it's possible and that this loss doesn't mean that we are doomed to suck for years to come.

Yea during that time span, the Giants probably won 2 Super Bowls. That's probably why no coach were fired and fans werent whining .

HAHAHA it would be so fun if you actually watched the game and knew what you were talking about.

Coughlin was one of the most questioned/hot seat coaches the past couple of seasons, even after he won them a superbowl.

The NY fans are some of the harshest, most critical fans in sports.

    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that would could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch him.  If he regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
    • He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
