NFL Week 6 game thread

The Giants since 2000 has two SB playoff runs and 0 playoff wins otherwise.
Without those, they are the Jets. Maybe even worse, because the Jets actually did have a bunch of runs.
Funny thing is, they are holding on to them like grim death. They are having 10 year anniversary specials on the 2011 team like they were the 2004 Sox.
Edit: Another Jones pick. He's not all there.
Let's be honest, if you were a Giant fan, what would you be yammering about?
The fact that the team is a joke or the fact that the team had 2 SB miracles in the last 13 years?
But at the half they're going to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their SB 46 win, so it's all good.
I wouldn't be yammering about anything because the team in 2021 is a dumpster fire.
What they did in years past means shit.
Like an over the hill 45 year old stripper who works the Tuesday afternoon shift going down memory lane when she was a 21 year old feature dancer smokeshow.
The past means shit?
Seriously? Are you a sports fan?
So you're saying the Pats 6 super bowls mean nothing to you because they are 2-3 this year?
It's kinda similar in the way NY media treats the Giants as NFL royalty while they've basically been the Jets for a decade.
This sounds callous, but I feel like Sean Taylor is among the most overrated players in league history. He was a good safety that for years played below his athletic potential and was never in the ballpark of player like Dawkins, Polamalu and Reed when he played, but people remember him as similar to those guys. I understand the tragedy of his death impacts that perception, but it's so inconsistent with the way he was viewed when he played.
I don't think that is callous. If Taylor didn't get murdered, there is no way his number is retired.
He's the Kurt Cobain of the WFT
Sure, but I'm not even talking about having his number retired, just the way people talk about him as this sure fire HoF talent when he was arguably a Devin McCourty level player without the team success.
Yeah, I'm sure those fans sitting in the stands watching that shitshow on the field are really thinking "Well, I paid out the ass for tickets, parking and a 12 ounce cup of foam and the guy next to me just pissed his pants, but at least we won four Super Bowls in my lifetime."
The Patriots OTOH, have the best coach in the business and a future behind center, 2-3 is what it is.
He got murdered. That increases your stock by at least 50%.
That's just the way it goes when someone dies young.
20 of which were won pre 1965; you know, before there was an MLB draft and teams with the most money could sign all the top talent.
That was a special moment when they retired Eli's number and he and Tyree recreated the helmet catch.
Holding on like grim death sounds about right.
Having lived in the DC area, it has been pretty common for DC sports fans to severely overrate any player with even a modicum of talent. It's why many DC sports fans consider Clinton Portis to be one of the best RBs ever, Chris Cooley to be Gronk before Gronk, and Darrell Green as the GOAT.
Man, Herbert is WAAAAAAAY off with a ton of his passes today.
he's just missing guys, by a lot.
he's just missing guys, by a lot.
Apparently Patricia wasn't the problem.
He was a part of it, but it had more to do with the players on the field.
Funny how that works.
The Theismann Rule. (Career passer rating just tiny fractions above Jay Fiedler and Charlie Batch)
Chargers did the same last week and it won them the game.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Herbert just looks awful today. His passes aren't close.
He looks absolutely terrible. They had that 4th and 1 and he threw it nowhere near the guy.
Yeah, that game was pretty good. Even the close games now are generally pretty ugly.
Adam Gase sips his espresso then inhales a bump. He watches Sam Darnold take a sack while glancing down at the folded up roster from last year’s New York Jets that is attached to his hand. He smiles and thinks, it’s not your fault Adam, it was never your fault, there is not enough cocaine in the world to overcome this.
