Giants at the Cardinals gameday thread 9-17-23

[Shane]

Fun fact: It was the first time the Giants overcame a deficit of 20 or more points to win since 1950 against the Baltimore Colts.

Soooo fun….

 

[kerouac9]

That's fine, but they better not act like they were there through the tough times when things get good again. Once a sellout always a sellout.

No one does. If the team doesn’t care about winning, why should the fans?

 

[Outerlimits]

Lots of people bet on the Cards. That’s how the line went from 6 to 4.

Ah. Didn't see it dropped to 4. Last I saw though was couple days ago and was still 5 or 6 I believe but may be wrong. I rarely bet on sports anymore. I feel like I'm gambling too much on certain stocks in the market already. Lol

 

[DVontel]

Losing a game and giving up a 20 pt lead in a half to lose a game are different things.

Is it really?

There’s about as much fun in that little nugget as you’re gonna have next week attending the Dallas game.

 

[PJ1]

Yeah, that is getting some headlines, but overall overcoming a 21 point deficit isn't incredibly uncommon league wide over the years. 28+ is much more rare. Heck didn't the Vikings overcome a 33-0 halftime deficit to the Colts just last year?

Blowing a 21 point lead with 4 minutes left in third quarter doesn’t occur often.

No bandwagon in us at all. We'll be there.

Losing a game and giving up a 20 pt lead in a half to lose a game are different things. The Cardinals look like they are still a donkey franchise and a joke with these types of performances.

In the scheme of things, no it's not.

I'm looking at baby steps this year. Be competitive and don't get blown out. Certainly the second half was a blowout, but they looked better than week one overall.

60 million and 6 top 100 picks is the hope right now.

And your gonna have sooooooo much fun I’m sure lol

They'll be 100 times worse than the Giants fans who walked out of State Farm Stadium today acting like they just won the Super Bowl.

Uggh. Thats terrible

Yeah, I remember seeing that and thought the same thing.

Reminds me of the old Sun Devil Stadium days. 20k Hardcore Cards fans surrounded by a bunch of Bandwagon Cowgirl fans

Blowing a 21 point lead with 4 minutes left in third quarter doesn’t occur often.

True. But even at that point the probability of a Giant win was still hovering around 5%. Given our history though and our current roster it should have probably been higher.

With bathrooms that hadn’t been cleaned all week because of the poor relationship between Bidwill and Arizona State

 

[CardsFan88]

0 points in six quarters for the Giants, we have our foot on their throat, and they score 31 in the next two.

I'm fine with it, given our situation, but objectively it was worse than the MNF collapse. It was a gut punch, even if it has that novocaine sort of feel obscuring most of the actual pain.

We also can't forget that this was the 2nd blown lead this season in as many games, and it was another home loss, which makes us (if we include the Mexico city 'Home' game) 1-14 at home in our last 15, starting with that loss against Green Bay on Oct 28th, 2021.

Doing it with only 4+ minutes left in the third though? That’s a special meltdown.

 

[FB94]

While I dont expect much this year and want to have best possible draft / cap position for 2024, the main thing I am discouraged about is the lack of second half adjustments from both games. We just seem to have no answers to what is thrown at us after halftime.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Okay fan police.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Is it really?

Giving up 31 points in a half to a team that got boatraced last week? Eh . . .

Gannon says the loss is on the coaches. Have to coach better.I feel like I have heard that before.

+1 gotta hand it to them

 

[Chopper0080]

Is it really?

For me, yes. I wanted to see a team that didn’t beat itself even if the roster lacked talent. I don’t feel like I have seen that so far. That is disappointing.
