A Few Late Thoughts on Tonight's Game....

Recommended Posts

 

Personally,   I have very low expectations for tonight's game.     This might be one of the most difficult games to play in the six years of Chuck Pagano's tenure.

 

In the best of circumstances,  players HATE the Thursday night game.      They never feel ready to play an NFL game only 4 days after playing a game.

 

Now, we're coming off one of the most demanding games we've had to play in the last six years.    I'm sure that game in Buffalo was brutal to play in,  and taxing on the player's bodies...       and now they have to play four days later?       I don't know how they will do it?    But I'm sure not expecting much. 

 

I'll be thrilled if we find a way to win.....    but not the least bit surprised of even disappointed if we lose.

 

As a few other posters have said.....   I'm ready to be done with this season and move on to next year.

 

Just three games left....     this season can't end soon enough....

Darius Butler is not fast enough to play FS.

Darius Butler is not strong enough to play FS.

Darius Butler is not good enough to play Safety at all.

Darius Butler should be in the first round of cuts this off season.

He was one of the best nickel corners in the league. The minute he wanted to be a safety I would have cut him.

Cheer up, we are closer to solidifying a top 3 pick.

It'd be nice to see the Giants, 49rs and Houston win.    Not too likely though.

I wanted the season to end the second Chris Ballard mentioned Chuck would be returning in 2017

 

We threw the season away the moment we decided that.  Sure if we had a healthy Andrew we would probably be hovering around 8-8 or something, but we all should have known we were not going to win anything under Pagano.  Thankfully this team is not like the Pacers and go on a big winning streak at the end of the year and screw up draft position.

 

Hopefully we lose out and we cement that third pick and find us either a stud pass rusher or lineman with that pick.

The Giants still have games with the Eagles (w/o Wentz), Cardinals and the Redskins left. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope there. However, their top brass might not try too hard to play themselves out of the top two QBs.

 

Eagles Dline is too good. They should shred the so-called Oline of Giants. Redskins have probably too much talent on offense and can score enough points to win the Giants. I think Giants have good shot against the Cards but can't see them beating Eagles and Skins.

    • I can too. And that will tell us everything we need to know about how the view him. It will tell us their feelings on the tight end room, and what direction they pick from there will tell us even more.    but if they take him at 15, we won’t know much about what might have happened, as they will be landing someone they had rated highly and fell to them. 
    • Glad that’s over…    if I wanted to argue about it, I would have responded far more in depth than pointing out how you were attempting to gaslight me. I did not. Meaning I was ending my part of whatever the argument was. You “putting a finality to it” and then listing bullet points tells me it was the argument you wanted all along, which makes sense why you brought Grigson up in the first place. Bait, hook, gaslight. Almost got me buddy. You are a funny guy, Doug 
    • Putting a finality on an argument you want to have.   There is a theory that Ballard won't draft a OL high because ARs injuries were not caused by a poor oline.  I felt it important to note that since Luck's major injuries were also not caused by his oline, Ballard could still want to improve it like he did in 2018 simply because AR is The Franchise. And its important to point that out because there has been a running (false) narrative for about 9 years that Luck's oline was the (main) reason for his injuries that kept him out of games.  The (false) narrative is based upon, IMO, a detest of Grigson, and not reality about the facts (or strong rumors) behind the kidney laceration and snowboarding shoulder. Therefore, mentioning Grigson and the (false) narrative was germain to the point about Ballard possibly drafting Oline high this draft to protect AR. Mentioning Grigson shouldn't trigger a CB vs RG discussion, unless people reading it are gaslighted by their own reading lens.
    • That is a very inaccurate description of what happened.  At this point it’s history and doesn’t need to be revisited but I will say Chloe adds value to this board and should be and is by most encouraged to post, even if people don’t always agree with her.  
    • My response was in regards to another posted suggesting that the Colts need to get the pick right when it comes to picking a WR. I agree with you .
