I woke up this morning still feeling upset and embarrassed from the showing that our New York Giants displayed last night in front of a national audience.  I have been very proud to say that my team is the New York Football Giants and last Thursday was the first time were I actually felt the opposite.  I felt embarrassed for our fans, casual football fans who were subjected to watch that awful display of football and most importantly, our players that care, which there was only one, Saquon Barkley.

We stink.  Plain and simple.  I like to think of himself “a realist”, a person who lives in reality, accepts the situation and who is prepared to deal with it accordingly.”  I saw that people actually believed that the Giants still had a chance to make something out of this season, which we did, until we flushed it down the toilet last night.  It all sounds good to be optimistic, but as a realist, it’s always in the back of my head, “I know this team.  We aren’t coming back.  We aren’t good.  We aren’t winning more than 4 games let alone the division, etc.”

Next, Eli is done, but we all knew that.  It was a great run, he got the franchise two Super Bowl’s, but it’s time to move on.  The countless boos last night has to register within him.  It’s time we cut ties.  You can’t have a quarterback that only can throw checkdowns, who can’t scramble, who sacks himself, who can’t hold onto the football, who throws into the tightest of windows and who can’t find his open receivers.  It’s like watching a slow moving car crash anymore.  Watching your team is suppose to be fun, this is not fun.

Next, the Giants should not be playing Primetime games.  Football fans should not have to watch the Giants, their awful football and player antics.  It’s embarrassing.  Our next two games should be flexed, I’m serious.  We’re a laughing stock.  We are the new Cleveland Browns.  It finally hit home for me and I completely agree with all sports radio hosts and analysts who say the Giants are miserable to watch on Primetime, Ryen Russilo and Barstool’s Pardon My Take to name a few.

I’m literally at a lost for words.  Players are calling out Eli. Walking off the field. Fighting inaminate objects again.  Being Divas.  Season tickets holders are selling their tickets. Embarrassing is the only word to describe this team currently.

Regardless of the previous weeks performance, I always get up and excited for games.  But, after last night, I think that has changed.  I am no longer feel the fire to watch this team for the rest of the season.  Don’t get me wrong, I will be watching solely because of Barkley, because he’s the only player cares.  Anymore, I’ll be just sitting their, quietly, watching the game, not getting to high or low because it’s not worth the pain and mental stress this team puts on an individual to care when the team is itself doesn’t care.

The season is officially over.  Teams don’t tank, but with the piss poor effort the Giants displayed, minus Barkley, against the Eagles that how the fans should respond.  Shumur and his coaching staff lost the locker room already.  However, you can’t blame the defense for the most part of the game, they played well.  My guess is the defense got pissed off at our horrible offense, minus Barkley, because the defense does all the work.  Then, out trots the offense for, most likely, a 3-and-out that lasts less than two minutes.  It’s disgusting and predictable.

I wrote a piece earlier about how Barkley is going to be wasted within this team and it’s became true last night.  Barkley is a beast and without him this team would be completely unwatchable.  They’re kind of unwatchable now, but Barkley brings excitement and hope, sorta.  He idolized Barry Sanders and he might turn into him too, meaning one of the best running backs ever, but had to play on crappy teams.  It’s so sad.  I feel bad for Barkley this season, regardless of stats.

The season is over.  It’s time to move on from Eli.  Lauletta needs to start playing and at this point, fans will welcome the change or sign Kaep or tank for a quarterback.  It’s whatever, I just shrug my shoulders anymore and say, “That’s Giants football.”  We’re a laughing stock.  We’re the new Cleveland Browns.  We’re the worst team in the league.
