nosebleedjints Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 I was at the game, 5,000 Eagles fans at most. No way was there 10,000. Honest guess I would say there was 4,000. BULL...read the BBI posts...I could see them EVERYWHERE. It's a running joke on all the philly boards and across the NFL. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I don't live in CT full time...I'm down in VA. You sure talk tough online...maybe you were picked last in gym. I can give you the link of my profile on my college's website for athletics, would you like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosebleedjints Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Feel free. If you're biggest problem has to do with percentages of fans in the stands and NOT the fact the team lost a playoff game to an arch-rival, then you're not much of a fan to begin with. It's not my biggest problem...but it's certainly one of the more disappointing ones...and it has been an ongoing theme all year. I thought the Giants ruled NFL in New York....it seems to me New York=baseball and Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHAHAHAHA. Ask JR, Bronx, Fishgut, Plow, Blue Jeans, xxi-xxv-xlii (whom I bought a Giants ticket off of), Gateb, Blunatic, VG and a whole host of others and they will tell you. By all means if you want the link, I will gladly PM it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember there used to be 3 teams in New York at one time. New York is a huge market...the fact that DURING football season the team which has been here since 1925 was overshadowed by baseball and the 1960 Jets who didn't make the playoffs...to me...speaks volumes about our base...and lack of passion...and I am very disappointed to be associated with it. You all could learn a thing from Philadelphia's passion...or Boston. We all know baseball rules Boston...yet living there I can tell you football was and is huge in a way at least if wfan and fan attendance shows it is not in New York.

Why are you the only one who is crying about this? Who really cares? Besides you, of course? Why should it matter who roots for whom or who talks about whom on the radio, it's all about you.

nosebleedjints Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Oh and this does matter. Our horrible home fanbase not only is a major eyesoar and embarassment for home games on national tv (it makes new york and the franchise look bad) but is it no wonder the Giants usually suck at home lately? Maybe it is because NOBODY fears the Meadowlands, the crowd, and the hostile environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 he's right to an extent. as ggirl said it's a ton of old fans and traffic absolutely sucks getting out of the meadowlands so people understandably leave early. still, who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jranieli Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Really, I almost decided to delete this thread, it would have been a good idea but I love when people make complete asses out of themselves so I will let it slide. thanks for the laugh!!

Maybe it is because NOBODY fears the Meadowlands, the crowd, and the hostile environment. I've gone to a handful of games by using STH tickets (what fucking ASSHOLES) and for the first time in what I could remember, the crowd was rowdy and it was a ton of fun to go to. I've been to a bunch of Giants games in my lifetime and this was the first time I lost my voice each time I went. I think we (the fans) realize that this Giants team is going to special for a long time to come. Oh and I went to the Cowboys game and yeah there were some Cowboys fans there, maybe 1 thousand Cowboys fans there, that's inevitable especially with the fan the Cowboys have bandwagon fans. I also went to the Carolina game too, and honestly I saw around 20 Panthers fans at the Stadium that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't find it embarassing that the charter franchise of the nfl in the number one market in the US got punked by a lowlife franchise in Philly on national TV and continues to do so yearly? Maybe if I grew up a fan of DC or Atlanta teams I'd not care...but when I was raised to be a fan of New York part of the pride comes in rooting for tradition, pride, and passion that is supposed to coincide with a long standing franchise and city.

nosebleedjints Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Also like to point out the Giants and PSLs were a big deal this offseason. I am so glad we have PSL fees. While they may not help fix the problem, at the very least it's nice to know some of those great loyal sellout fans we have are getting what they deserve.

So because the Giants have been around longer, that doesn't give the Philadelphia Eagles the right to beat the New York Giants? This might be one of the stupidest things I have ever heard, and believe me guys...I hang out with a lot of stupid people. Is it embarrassing? Yeah, but not because of the things you wrote.

While they may not help fix the problem, at the very least it's nice to know some of those great loyal sellout fans we have are getting what they deserve. it's the fans that can afford those PSLs that are generally the flakiest. my best guess is that you'll see more of what you don't like from our fan base thanks to PSLs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 There's one section reserved for road teams, 318 i think which is 3 away for me and they provided for most of the noise that you probably heard from eagles fans. They had loud defense chants and were doing their stupid e-a-g-l-e-s eagles shit all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
