so-cal dub Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Keep your heads up. It was a tough game, and a hard loss to swallow, however dont forget what a fun season we had. It's not the end of the world. We were Champions last year, when most teams cant say they were ever. Lets look forward to next season and expect the same hard fought winning battles. It could be worse, we could be Cowboy fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 True. This is tough. All losses are tough, but at least we have a SB Championship and a good season to be proud of. And many more. Just be glad you guys dont have new Cardinal fans popping up everywhere. Everyone of them ready to give me shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Vikes actually had a QB we would have pulled the red feathers off of those lamesters. Of all the teams we had to face it had to be the fucking Eagles. Someone please teach Eli how to throw in Giants Stadium during the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 As of right now, I'm the biggest temporary Cardinals fan ever. I am too. But what I mean is, they dont wish me luck, or understand that I've been rooting for the same team forever, they just refer to themselves as "die hards" and say they hate NY. When we are not in their way, a threat to them any longer, etc. Its ridiculous the way alot of sports fans think down here. Anyone 20 yrs old or older had a different team before the Cards came. And now they dont acknowledge that and just give me crap for not rooting for the home team. Fuck them. I hope the Yankees regain greatness and the DBacks suck so I can have some type of redemption. :brooding: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be worse, we could be Cowboy fans... You know, I wouldn't be so down if we lost in an honorable way. We were so fucking outcoached and everyone saw that WHILE THE GAME was in progress. We're not talking hindsight here. The Eagles didn't beat us. They couldn't generate any offensive if their lives depeneded on it. And what do we do in the last 2 min of the first half? Prevent defense... Gilbride flat out sucks.. and the eagles are who we thought they were. Ashanti Samshit is one fucking clown too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppodlesny Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Giants loss this game...the egirls didn't win it....1st and 5 and he throws 3 fucking times when you have a running back averaging 4+ yards a carry against a defense that 8 in the box.

echochamber Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 This was a tough game to watch, for many reasons. First, the game just sucked. It was boring and sloppy for both teams. Adverse weather conditions be damned. Second, we lost to the fucking eagles. i'm about to go postal down here in philly today. Things to take away from the game/season: 1. We need some LBs. Pierce, ugh, I hope has played his last game as a Giant. He takes a fucking face mask/roughing/ and/or holding penalty every frickin game. He's slow as shit. Yes, I know he QBs the D, but at what point is the guy a liability on D? His talking before games is also getting old. STFU and play "AP"..... I suppose it's not necessary to upgrade the MLB position immediately, but Pierce has got to shut his fucking mouth and stop taking penalties. He's killing us with this shit. 3 penalties yesterday? get the fuck out of here. We have to get a couple OLBs. This theory that Spags D doesn't require good OLBs is bullshit. Give me some LBs that can blitz and cover a TE. we need more speed here. 2. Eli needs to work on his arm strength. Every pass he threw yesterday was a duck, be it with or against the wind. McNabb had no probs throwing the intermediate routes, and the passes were spirals! If Eli can't throw in Giants Stadium in December/January, then really, what's the point? But, that's a gameplan problem which brings me to..... 3. Gilbride. I hate this motherfucker. he proved he can call a game during the aplyoffs last year, but this year he went right back to his usual bullshit. here is the Gilbride gameplan: 1st down: pass (usually ends in an incompletion) 2nd down: usually ends up being 2nd and 10, WE ALWAYS FUCKING RUN THE BALL!!!! goddammit, that pisses me off, the D knows it's coming, and here comes 3rd and 8 or 9. 3rd down: 30 yard incomplete pass down field when we need 8 for a first. Now, I realize the Gilbride apologists will say "But we run 50% of the time! How much more are we suppose to run the ball! We had 2 1000 yard rushers! YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!" FUCK THAT. It has nothing to do with percentages. It has everything to do with WHEN you run. Gilbride has no clue how to set up the pass via the run. Instead it seems he tries to set up the run via the pass which is a formula for failure. You don't win football in January like that!!!! However, Gilbride isn't going anywhere, so I'll hope he can get his act together like he did ini the SB run last year. 4. WR. If Plax is getting 90 days or less, I fully expect him back on the team next year. If not..... I don't know. Boldin doesn't seem like a WR that can stretch the field. TJ Howhatever.... I simply haven't seen enough of him. Whatever happens, I DO NOT want a WR drafted in the first 2 rounds unless it's a total can't miss stud. Anyways..... We get Osi back next year. That's good. Coming off an injury, he'll be in no position to try to renegotiate a deal so that be good. Our DEs were totally spent, and it showed. The team is still very young, and we should be able to make a run for the next fews years. I still think we're one of the top 2 teams in the NFC. The rest of the conference doesn't impress me at all. We'll be champs again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 like i said, they had a least a year of goodwill w/ me after last season. they could do whatever they want and im not goig to take the loss that hard. that was a really really tough game to watch though. they picked a bad day to have their worst game of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echochamber Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 AA: Agreed with the goodwill. But dude, not winning the SB never entered my mind this year.... until we didn't punch it in for a TD on that first drive yesterday! That was the first time all year I was like "Oh shit..... I have doubts and don't think we're gonna get past this game." I'm still in total shock over this loss... very disappointed... but, I know we'll be back next year and hey, we're still champs for 3 more weeks!

echochamber Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Question: would Vilma be an good option at MLB if we cut Pierce? I honestly don't know enough about the guy to make an educated guess. All I know is he is a 4-3 MLB. Anyone have an opinion on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echochamber Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yup, we ran the ball. Just just ran it when we should pass, and pass when we should run. Would it fucking kill Gilbride to call a run on 1st down? No, call a run EVERY SINGLE TIME WE HAVE A 2nd AND 10 INSTEAD!!!!!!!! Holy shit I'm so sick of this crap.

Treehugger Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Oh come on!! They were the better team on the day. My point was that we beat ourselves with poor execution and playcalling on offense. Of course the Eagles were better on the day because we fucking stank. I don't think there's many teams in the NFL that WOULDN'T have beaten that effort.

There were many first down runs that were for minimal gain. It's great to get a 24 yard run but inside the read zone none of the backs or Eli could get the hard yards needed. Gilbride or not the Giants weren't going to win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 we didn't execute very well, but gilbride's playcalling still sucked. the guy didn't give us a chance to win even if they executed better. two straight draws, direct snap to ward, leaving jacobs out for entire series in the first half. giving jacobs/ward almost an even split on carries in the 1st half. that shit is inexcusable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
