Should we even be happy about this win?

now, im just talking, i dont have facts to back me up, and because you responded, i ll caht to you.

Did Daboll lose the team or did the Giants not give him a good team?

I dont know if Daboll was in the meeting thinking it was a great idea to get rid of Barkley, i could be wrong.

I dont know if DJ was Dabolls choice, so many factors go into this.

However, i dont know what they expected Daboll to do. Now, ive heard from posters here hes a good OC, but their O isnt firing because they have very little.

But to me, idk if he lost the team or if he ever had one.

Just trying to be fair about the guy.

Same, and I'm making broad assumptions based on him continuing to lose. After his first year, which was completely unexpected, the Giants have been terrible.

He doesn't have enough talent, but I think it reaches a point where you lose so much it's damn near impossible to get players to continue to buy in.

A win is a win is a win. You can only play the games on your schedule and beat the teams placed out before you. Tanking is all well and good, but anyone rooting for tanking is not looking at this right. It's Jerry that is in charge....he's making the choices, so he'd screw up any tank picks anyway. We're screwed until Jerry is six feet under. That's just the way it is....so enjoy the wins if you can.

the only people who thought tanking was in play are

1 people who dont know football

2 people who listen to other people who have no clue or accept how bad we are.

at no point are the Cowboys tanking
i am guilty of wanting natural tanking....just for high picks next season..only way we make wild card is if we win out and others lose...and once we are there can we make it past one and done which puts us way lower half of picks?....i am not talking about losing on purpose....i dont think we need to worry about going all out....chances of winning 9 in a row
are very low....it could happen and i guess as a cowboy fan i should be rooting for that....but i watch big Mike lead our offense and that is enough to lose...sorry but true...i use
to guzzle all the Kool-aid regardless but each loss it took a few days to recover...so for health reasons i have to be a more realistic fan...we do far better getting UFDA's then
some of our picks...but we have a good team of pickers...i just want a real 1st round pick and they end usually in the teens on the board...but i am still a cowboy fan and i will
root for them to win each game...but can we please replace several coaches????

I’m happy with the win. This is a lot more fun than playing out the season hoping for losses and a high draft pick.
KJJ---until the draft comes...i might think you would like to be higher up on board that day?...but maybe not?...its all good

Every fan would like to be higher on the draft board but the more we win games the better I’ll feel about the team entering the offseason. You play to win not to try and earn a high draft position.

mr KJJ--- i see your reasoning and after thinking more on it....i agree....even if we were 0-16 we should root we win last game

Maybe all that juicy smoked turkey has gone to my head, but can we really be happy about this win? Until we beat another team that's actually worth it than the tired Giants, what's there to be happy about?? Please give your thoughts
It was a bad game with two bad teams. It felt like it was on for six hours.

I'll answer it this way: when you
see the guy on the corner who's holding a cardboard sign, and you toss him 2 bucks, should he feel proud that he just earned 2 bucks?

The Giants just "handed us 2 bucks", en route to accomplishing their primary objective: losing. Next year, we'll have Garbage Time Dak, AGAIN, and they'll have a brand new franchise QB they drafted with a top 5 pick.

We'll blow another 1st round pick on a Running Back. 30 years will turn into 40 years

Aren't you excited, to re-live this season, over, and over, and over again?

Call me crazy but I enjoy winning instead of getting our *** kicked and especially when we haven’t won a home game in ages
