Giants fans,players, and now coaches are whining to no end still. It’s pretty pathetic yet hilarious! You’d think they were a snake bitten 10-6 Miami team. The Giants can f*** right off

 

[Midnight Judges]

The 6-win Gnats feel entitled to a playoff spot.

Judge: Will never 'disrespect the game' like Eagles

"To disrespect the effort that everyone put forward to make this season a success in the National Football League, to disrespect the game by going out there and not competing for 60 minutes and doing everything they can to help those players win, we will never do that as long as I am the head coach of the New York Giants."

Bonus salt packet: Judge was born in Philly

But hey, a guy who coaches a 6-10 team in his only season as an NFL HC can tell everyone else how to run their orgs.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

guys on ESPN just crushing Judge & The Giants....

 

[tenken00]

I feel so dirty now about being happy when the Giants beat us both times. We should have just kicked their asses.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

6-10 speaks for itself...

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Giants were in the driver’s seat from week 12 on....they scored 26 combined the last
3 games.

integrity schmintegrity...

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Of course Max K (Giants fan) and the hostess (Giants fan) are the only two supporting Judge saying anything.

everyone accepting that Pederson was tanking, but most roasting Judge from what I’ve seen all morning.

 

[g00n]

Let's look at common opponents:

PHI: NYG split, WFT swept
DAL: NYG split, WFT swept
ARI: both lost
Steelers: NYG lost, WFT won
Ravens: both lost
Niners: NYG lost, WFT won
Bengals: both won
Rams: both lost
SEA: NYG won, WFT lost
CLE: both lost

Vs common opponents record:

NYG: 4-8
WFT: 7-5

Both were 1-4 vs playoff teams.

H2H: Giants won both games by a total of 4 points. They won 20-19 with Jones vs Allen. They also won 23-20, again with Jones, when Allen dislocated his ankle early in the game and was replaced by Smith who threw 3 INTs in just his 2nd appearance since his leg was snapped in two.

If he was smart he would have come out...”uhhh yeah we were tanking the entire time....it was planned.....”

I don’t think you can come out and say that outright (and stay employed).

This is one of RR's trial balloons. Hiney is going to start or at least play significant minutes and he's getting everyone prepared.

I think it's the opposite. He'll start Alex and if they look toothless he'll get pulled, and it won't be a long leash since we can't afford to let Tom build a big lead.

 

[Bananas]

If Smith plays like last week you have to bench him unless the score is still close. If it’s close you just hope that Smith can win yet another game he starts. At 5-1 perhaps there is an angel over his shoulder.

We are officially in the house money stage so no need to leave any chips on the table. If Smith is shaky and we fall behind crack a Heineken and see what the rest of the night brings.

It’s been a fun year. An upset would be gravy...

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I think you have to give Alex the start given the respect he commands in the room and his mastery of the offense but he should be yanked at the first sign of duress. If he looks as bad as he did last week he shouldn't last the first quarter. Heinicke should get all of almost all of the first team reps in practice and he should prepare to play most or all of the game and the team should prepare as if Heinicke will be the QB. As Bananas mentioned, we are playing with house money and we're firmly the underdogs who have no business being in the playoffs (according to plenty of talking heads) so we have nothing to lose; if we go down let's go down swinging going for the knock-out instead of turtling the whole time hoping to catch Tampa with their chin exposed.

He just had 3 weeks of rest and that didn't help. Seems unlikely that 6 days will.

That said, the WTFs are going to get trounced either way. So you might as well roll with Smith and let him be the hero one last time.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I think you start Smith, but Heiny should get a decent amount of the snaps...

I see this match up as overmatched boxer would lol........our Offense must hold in the clinch at every opportunity and hope the D can land a few haymakers to steal the fight.

 

[g00n]

I think it's the opposite. He'll start Alex and if they look toothless he'll get pulled, and it won't be a long leash since we can't afford to let Tom build a big lead.

That's why I said or at least play significant minutes. RR will WANT to have Smith looking good in practice and come out blazing. But he's probably prepping everyone for either a QB switch or a sub in-game.

It can escalate quickly with RR after one of these warning shots, as we've seen. Could go from "Alex has earned the right to compete" to "Hiney is starting" in a 24 hr period lol

Salt level: HIGH

shockingly angry for a 6-10 teams coach.

 

[EroCaps]

I read this as Smith plays as long as the game is close. If they go down 14 points, TH comes in. That simple.
