Never Satisfied

[ESisback]

I’ll be the first one to agree—they started out slow, they DO have areas of concern, and fans are right to be tired of “sweating it out” against teams with less talent, but can we EVER enjoy a win as a fanbase?

We beat a division rival by 19 on the road, and all the pundits are saying is they don’t trust Dallas to win the East and/or we beat the Giants because of a cat.

Hey man, you leave the cat out of this. He is a saint, you hear me?

 

[ESisback]

The cat thing WAS kinda weird. Strange ***** is always impactful.

I wouldn’t call it whining, I call it calling it how it is. We beat one of the worst teams in the league, it’s that simple. The people who get mentally high off these types of wins are the same ones who say the season is over and everyone sucks the first time we lose to a decent team. Trying taking it for what it is, a win over a horrible team that we should have dominated all 4 quarters.

Personally, I was a bit disappointed and although I still believe this team has a lot of potential I want to see it against better teams. Hell, looking at the schedule before the season started almost every single one of us picked the Cowboys over the Giants both times and now it’s supposed to be a big deal, especially when the Giants may end up being worse than last year?

It’s not being negative or whining, it’s being real. That would be like me telling someone not to be excited over beating the Saints or Packers. Beat one of the best teams in the league and I’ll be excited, beat one of the worst teams in the league (we’ve beat 4 of the worst and lost to one) and I’m meh.

You must be a cat hater.

I agree with post #5, but I do think the Eagles are not a crap team and Dallas dominated them. If the Cowboys can get a grip on the offensive penalties, drops, and turnovers, they will be a tough team to beat. But that's easier said than done.

Don't mess with Rally Cat. That dude came in right when needed.

We played the first half and a good portion of the 3rd quarter very much like the Jets game. You know where we lost to the worst team in the nfl?

If not for a phantom PI on DeAndre Hunter the Giants are getting the ball back down 23-18 mid 4th quarter.

Take away the first interception and the resulting 3 points. I knew Booger was jinxing Dak the second he made that comment right before the play.

I agree with your post. This board raises seven kinds of hell unless we not only win, get style points in the win, win big, and of course it must be against a team they view as a top 5 team or it “means nothing”.

I’ll be the first to agree that this was a somewhat ugly win. But everyone is on Green Bay’s jock and the refs have gifted them at least two wins. Those two losses would put them even with the Cowboys.

Been a fan since 1977, I can’t ever remember feeling this down about a 37-18 win. I think it’s the realization the team just isn’t very good but somehow the Giants are way worse . If we play like that versus Vikings, Bills , Patriots we will be crushed.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

I'm always satisfied with a win. That doesn't mean that I'm overjoyed, overly confident or devoid of critique. As far as the pundits are concerned I just can't bring myself to give a damn

 

[Kaiser]

F those fans who whine about everything after a win, and the pundits too.

Release the cat on them.

No one’s saying you have to be excited about beating a terrible team. That’s an overreaction. However, it’s ALSO an overreaction to be embarrassed or sad or scared after beating a division rival by 19 on the road. These are all professional teams that are highly competitive and compensated, playing a game controlled by a long list of variables, and governed by ever changing rules of a speculative and interperative nature. Predictable outcomes, or even controllable trends, are an exercise in futility. Kinda wishful thinking.

This franchise always comes out of a bye a little flat.....That and this team is woefully undisciplined....ahem garret ahem

True, although that game could be played the other way too. If not for a play or two here or there, a bad bounce or atrocious call, we could also have won a game or two we lost.

They're not wrong.

Dallas beats a bad team on the road: "Its just the Giants, Fire Garrett!"

New England beats a bad team on the road: "That's the mark of a champion!!"

Yep! Double standards!
