Week Twelve: New York Giants (2-9) @ Detroit Lions (6-4)

[GalagaGuy]

Listening to Campbell's post game interview on 97.1, you'd think the Lions won by 30.  Dude really needs to be a bit more honest with his post-game comments.

I didn't get that feeling listening to it at all.

Yeah, I never said "deserve." Just that the stats showed we were outplayed in most stats. But...stats are for losers ..lol j/k

Can you point out the things he said that were critical in any way of the performance of the any unit or player?

Holy crap! 69 yards!

When does any coach do that after a win? 

[IdahoBert]

That 59 yard field goal. It almost looks like an angel nudged it back over the goal post.

Acknowledge the areas where they need to improve?

A blowout win, in dominating fashion. 62-7. No one complained at all today.

The Giants might be a bit better than their record. 

Lost a close one to the Chargers

Beat the Eagles (Trounced them)

Blew a huge late lead to the Broncos, one of the best AFC teams

Lost close games to the first-place Bears and Green Bay

Where the Bears have been great in one-score games, the Giants have been brutal, but they are in almost everything

Just quit worrying and enjoy every win

 

 

The officials on the field of the Jags-Cardinals game just called a safety on a ball that the Cardinals touched first and they didn't know the rule.  That's pathetic.    The head official took the safety away and explained the rule.  

 

I don't think the Bears are a lot better than last year.  Last year they lost a lot of heartbreakers and many of those were set up by brutally bad coaching decisions (like our Thanksgiving game last year).      Having a coach that knows what he's doing is all the difference.   But I do sense it coming to an end for the Bears soon.    They feel more lucky than good.

But they best Philly in NY before they lost their top running back and their starting QB. Imagine the Lions without Goff and Gibbs. <shudder>

It was electric in there when it needed to be. Crowd may have been ill prepared for a thriller but we delivered, in my humble opinion.

Rumor had it that the Lions were losing big, their season was ending, the Super Bowl window had closed. But this board stayed chill and confident and kept the faith and urged the boys to just try the best they can and we would be proud of them no matter what. The positive vibes from our rhythmic applause must have made their way over to Ford Field because the Lions players who clearly don’t care clearly started caring again and won by a full touchdown. Then we lit candles in gratitude. 

Addition: And oh yeah, then Kay Adams blew kisses at us.
