Twitter: Reports indicate Giants will rest some starters

[john van brocklin]

Bummer.

Ugghhhh

 

[john van brocklin]

Not surprising in the least.

Maybe their backups can beat Philly. LOL.

Relying on the midgets to take care our business that we should have already taken care of.
Gross

And you believed him, Mary?

protect your guys McCarthy...get 'em some 1st half work then shut it down, this is a glorified preseason game.

Thought there was a thread already saying that we playing to win and not resting players.

Yeah I think if the Eagles are up by like 17-3 or something at halftime I would think McCarthy starts pulling guys.

Bummer.

Bet all Eagles players are on full alert.

Some of their backups may bring more inspiring enthusiasm to perform, better than some resting starters.
I dont really expect it, its goo media to play off, Im banking on those paper tigers to make this their SB game.
Would not that be an incredible game, if the Giants BUs brought out some whoop down on this overaerated dead girls' team.

Wait till the owners manipulate the Player’s Union to signing off on 18 games a season in the name of money.

NFL careers are about to be 3-4 years shorter. Micah will probably be done in 5 years.

Obviously not. Didn't you see my "sarcasm" emoji?

I guess this officially makes their HC a liar.

Did he have his fingers cross when he said they weren't resting players?

If you listened to his entire press conference from Monday, he’s not lying. He left to door wide open with regards to benching starters. People here took one small quote and ignored like a dozen other comments he made like when he said he and the GM would sit down later, assess the situation and do what’s best for the team when it came to Week 19.

Here’s what beat reporter Pat Leonard tweeted after that early week press conference:

“Brian Daboll: Giants will do what's best for THEIR team this week vs. Eagles. When asked about Tom Coughlin playing all his guys in 2007 and if that's "right," Daboll says NE was undefeated then and each situation, including 2023, is different. Sounds like he'll rest guys.”

Nah he was being smart. Lie to the fans and the media, so the other team has to prepares for the wrong QB. Because ya know... football speak... and stuff.

Expect the Giants to get steamrolled in the Wild Card game if they play against a team that doesn't rest their starters like cowards.

Mara called him and told him otherwise.
It is just he don't have 50 recording devices in front of him like Jerry does.

Especially when he said.....let's do this to screw over Dallas since I can't give Zeke 6 games suspension for no reason, again....

It probably was not his decision. The front office made the decision to rest players. Everyone thinks the Joneses are the only owners that overrules their coaches. The reality is it happens throughout the NFL. It also would be dumb to play your players if you are the Giants. Their wildcard game is winnable and I would be working on the game plan for Minnesota. Tampa would be stupid to play more then a few series against Atlanta with all their nagging injuries.

This wouldn't matter if Dallas had shown up against GB and Jacksonville.

 

[maryquality]

So, I guess it's looking more and more like the stinking egals are gonna win. That's most unfortunate.

 

[Carson]

Beyond flabbergasted.

If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn into the carpet I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right now.
