Brandon Jacobs Says Giants' Fans 'Kick You When You're Down'

Brandon Jacobs.  (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)

New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs has no love for Giants fans, and he once again made that clear during an appearance with Boomer & Carton on WFAN Wednesday morning.

"They're great when you're up ... and they kick you when you're down," Jacobs said of Giants fans. "Right now, I don't think we're down. I went them to cheer for us. I want them to be, I want our stadium to be super loud when the offense is out on the field."

Jacobs and the Giants, of course, heard plenty of boos Sunday night during a disturbin 17-10 loss to Philadelphia in which they gained a puny 29 yards rushing on 17 tries. Jacobs had just 21 yards on 12 carries, though a lot of that was not his fault.

Star-divide

"We don't want to hear that," Jacobs told Boomer & Carton. "We don't want to hear anybody as we're trying to work hard and play and overcome adversity as it is already. And they're making it even harder for us to overcome our adversity when they do things like that."

Well, you know what my response to that is? The fans sitting in MetLife Stadium don't WANT to be booing, either. They don't want to be watching bad football. They don't want to continue watching a team considers itself playoff-caliber lose games to teams they should defeat. They don't want to listen to players talk a good game and play a poor one.

The fans WANT to watch good football. They want to cheer. What the Giants need to do is stop talking to radio stations, stop whining about the fans, stop telling people how good they believe they are. They need to actually go out and the field and prove it.

Well after flying from coast to coast to sit there and watch

the steaming pile they laid on the field once again, I think Brandon should just shut up and concentrate on helping his team figure out how they might stop green clad thugs coming in our house and kicking our team and our fans in the nuts year after year. What an embarrassment. Either this team has NO pride, or they really just aren’t that good. No other way to explain how they continually lose to other bad teams.

Bart Scott also opened his mouth about Jets fans. Honestly, you would think players from both teams have bigger problems. The fans who paid good money for their PSL’s (which right now stands for “Please Stop Losing”) have every right to express their displeasure with the product they paid for.

Wait until Brandon finds out there is no market for a 30 year old running back who stopped hitting the hole hard two years ago. He will love playing in front of 40,000 empty seats in Jacksonville. Nobody in the stands to boo him.

Last year

Jacobs was the better back than Bradshaw. He was getting very few carries and still got close to 1000 yards. He had the second best yards per carry in the league. And I still think he is the better pass blocker. He had a bad year in 09 and the whole running game has been awful this year. People who want to clump in last year as a bad season just don’t like the guy.

by Midnight Blue on Nov 23, 2011 1:17 PM EST up reply actions  

Bradshaw

is arguably the best pass-blocking RB in the NFL. Jacobs is nothing special on third down, and has had his share of whiffs and misses back there.

If AB doesnt play this game then i dont know how jacobs could start.

I know Ware got a concussion but lets give scott a chance. With the opportunities he has been given he has looked explosive and runs strong. I dont know how good his hands are but im betting he is a better check down option for Eli than Jacobs. Coughlin has to bench this loser, he is a detriment to our team.

But when the team plays badly, the fans let them know it. And they should.

Hopefully the team will respond with better performance. But the team and its players do not get unconditional love. That, Brandon, comes (hopefully) from your mother or from your dog.

i understand the boos.

Especially when you factor in the cost of PSL’s, the game ticket, etc.

But we have discussed this before and it bothers the hell out of me that spoiled whiny NY fans boo way too early and way to often.

How many times do we have to hear from players that playing at home in Giants Stadium is a detriment? That is a pathetic indictment of the fans, IMO.

I big on the psychological aspect of the game, and knowing that we don’t help our team but hurt them? I don’t get it. You won’t find me booing at a Giant game, not unless I see flat out quitting on the field.

My favorite moment

Was during the Falcons game. We pinned them inside the 5 and the Giants fans were so vocal the players looked shocked. I remember seeing them all looking around and then someone (I believe it might have been Strahan) started raising his hands to pump up the crowd louder. My first Giants game live, it was beautiful.

Ok thanks

As for the home crowd it was louder at the Giants Stadium. This new place is getting many new people who can afford to go but they are not the type of fans who understand the 12th man mentality. All the Giants fans at the home games have to have the 12th man mentality. It is a matter of education them to make noise maybe using screens etc.

They deserved boos Sunday night… after the game was over. Like it or not, having the crowd boo you because you’re not winning by 21 isnt helpful. Doesn’t anybody ever wonder why the Giants consistently play badly at home? Some of that may be coincidence, but there is no way the constantly booing fans are helping matters.

I don't wonder.

I have had this belief for a long time.

the game is played on the field

not in the stands. Fans in all stadiums mostly get loud on 3rd down with the home team on defense. It’s hard to remain loud when you watch your defense give up 6 straight 3rd down conversions.

Another point. Fans in all sport care more about winning than the majority of the players. Watch the sidelines for the losing team late in games. They’re smiling. Joking around. Too many players really don’t care about winning. They care about their paycheck and staying healthy.

Late in 2009 we were getting stomped by Carolina. Two Giants players were on the sideline laughing and having a grand ole time. As a fan watching that debacle I wasn’t having a good time. As fans we need to remember it’s a game. It means absolutely nothing in our lives.

They’ve hated him since 09 and he knows he can actually say what everyone is thinking without more flack than he already gets. He also knows they are going to chase him out of town this year so making angry fans angrier will not affect his Giants career. I guarantee that other players feel the same way because I’ve been saying this same thing for years myself and I’m not on the receiving end on the field.

We are cheering them all game, and standing (for the most part) on every 3rd down, and what is our reward for being the 12th man, coming up short against a team they should have handled a little better than they did. I hate that we’re not “allowed” to boo them when they are underperforming.

If they were giving up 6 consecutive 3rd down conv’s to the Saints/Packers it would be different, but when its happening at the hands of a backup QB and average wf’s, the boo birds should be allowed to rain down on MetLife Stadium.

I've always liked Jacobs

I still do. To my recollection, I was the only person saying to let Bradshaw go in FA, to keep Jacobs, and to draft Murray or another RB.

[Side note: DeMarco Murray is the 3rd player in the last two drafts to be drafted by Dallas whom I wanted for the Giants. Sean Lee and Bruce Carter were the other two.]

Very rarely do I care what he or any athlete says. Quite frankly, I think American fans are way too fragile and shouldn’t be so emotional over what is said. These guys aren’t paid for their eloquence. As long as a player is producing, then he can talk. Heck, he can taunt and be a jerk on the field. DeSean Jackson’s antics have never bothered me. The fact that the Giants rarely tackle him on a punt return is what bothers me.

The problem is that Jacobs isn’t producing and still talking. That’s where I draw the line. The offensive line was putrid on Sunday but Jacobs was stood up by Kurt Coleman on a 3rd and 1 when all Jacobs had to do was fall forward. He was tackled by Asante Samuel in the open field. Samuel is notorious for shying away from contact and he’s taking down a 260-pound man. Unacceptable.

Jacobs needs a reality check. It’s the one that I felt Osi needed when he said that “I’m great against the run.

Similarly, if the Giants coaches and players don’t like McCoy’s “overrated and soft” comment or Jackson’s taunting, then don’t let them destroy you every game.

Good points.....but

he wasn’t stood up by Coleman…he ran into the back of Bass,which got no push…….Him being 260lbs means nothing if he cant get it going….if he is gettn the ball running sideways(shotgun draw),having to make a move 2yds in backfield like McCoy, he is unable to get the momentum going forward…….he hasn’t been able to get going,but he is volume runner……Check Giants record when he has 20+carries………and the other team actually gets paid to tackle also……

Giant fans boo early and often.

If the Giants haven’t been running the ball well for a couple of weeks, as an example, Giant fans will be booing poor running before the end of the first quarter.

Doesn’t matter if it’s this year or any other year.

NY fans are just whiny. NYers in general are whiny. Professional complainers, actually.

I’m sorry, you’re right. Tuck is “soft” even though he has played through what seem like pretty debilitating injuries. He’d be an idiot if he didn’t acknowledge that the injuries were affecting his play.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t find it courageous if a player plays through an injury all year, plays ineffectively which hurts the team, and only admits it after the end of the year.

Players should just keep playing and not let that bother them too much! It is part of being a professional sports player.

by giantsbizzybody1 on Nov 23, 2011 11:56 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

I agree with him

The Giants fans are the opposite of home field advantage and their record at home reflects that. They are as likely to be booing loudly as cheering at any given point in a game. They get a better reception at opposing team stadiums and I’m sure that the players notice that and don’t appreciate it.

Our home crowd is full of old farts. We need someone like Fireman Jerkoff in our stadium when we play. The fans at games are pathetic.

He's got a point, but at the same time he just doesn't get it.

I hate to hear the home crowd boo, and personally I’ve never once booed the Giants. I don’t say that to pat myself on the back, cuz I’ve done plenty of criticizing and yelling when they suck, but I just feel like booing is the ultimate smack in your team’s face.

That being said, Brandon doesn’t even know what he wants, and once again his simple mindedness shines through with his angry, confusing bitching. In one statement he talks about wanting the home crowd to be loud and raucous when the offense is on the field (which makes total sense by the way; drowning out the QB’s cadence and distracting the offense is something every home crowd should strive for). Then he turns around and says he wants total silence from the fans (“We don’t want to hear anybody as we’re trying to work hard…”). BJ’s a well-meaning dude, I really believe that. And there are time where I absolutely hate the Giants Stadium crowd. But he’s picking a fight he can’t win, and frankly he doesn’t really have a leg to stand on.

The same guy that always, and I mean ALWAYS, takes the bait from opposing players trying to goad him into a fight is the same guy who lashes out at a million strangers booing a crap product they paid 150 bucks for. Keep digging Brandon, you’re almost to China.

Lastly, let me just point something out. In my own opinion, Jacobs has brought this stuff on himself. When the crowd booed a few weeks back, and on Sunday against Philly, they were booing the entirety of what they were seeing on the field. The o-line sucks, can’t block, so when a run play is called it’s a total failure. After 7 or 8 or 25 of those abject failures, people boo. Jacobs, being the sensitive and simple minded man he is, automatically took those boos to be directed at him only. I’m sure there were some people booing him, but I’m willing to bet the vast majority of folks were booing the offense as a whole, and KG’s play calls. Jacobs thinks the world is against him, and by lashing out at his own fan base, now it is. Well played Brandon.

by mtcl05 on Nov 23, 2011 11:52 AM EST reply actions  

Absolutely great points here, mtc.

Only thing I would like to add is my agreement that they were booing either the entire offensive product, or the Oline.

That is what I felt was going on. But I can see how 27 would think it is directed at him, because, he is the one running it and he has been booed before.

i didn’t understand why we didn’t take him after he dropped outta the top 4 rounds, and def. didn’t get it when he hit the UDFA status and we still ignored him. plus i’m sure the Titans are kicking themselves slightly too.

Jacobs is a very emotional guy with a below average IQ

But building these new stadiums with super luxury boxes does affect home field advantage. The enthusiasm is sacrificed for corporate types who buy the seats, the ticket prices go up, and the traditional fans expect a better performance from their team. If they dont get it, they become frustrated and boo sooner and louder.

Booing doesnt help the home team play better; the Giants know when they’re stinking up the joint, but it is an expression of frustration, largely b/c of the thought of paying big bucks for tickets and watching a dismal performance, even if the players are trying their best. This is sports in the 21st century. An unfortunate change.

The home teams do not seem to have this problem in New Orleans, Greenbay or Dallas.

We seem to have very fragile fans. One drop by Ballard in the first quarter and all the air is let out of the stadium. I guarantee we will not see that from the Saints and Cowboy fans over the next three weeks. Can/will our fans support the team during what is sure to be a difficult game against Greenbay? I doubt it. I hope I am surprised by both the team and the fans at the “Giants” stadium.

Its really bothers me when players hate on fans for booing

I mean what exactly did they expect after that pathetic attempt to play football? Fans boo, its going to happen whether you like it or not and from my point of view, it has a purpose. When I boo, my thinking is that the players here it and realize they need to wake the hell up and start playing. Its like a motivational tool. Obviously that doesnt work for Miss Jacobs. Do your job or at least put forth an effort and were not gonna boo you. Plus, the crowd cheering loudly on offense is ridiculous since everyone knows to be quiet while the offense has the ball. There have been plenty of times when Eli has tried to quiet the crowd.

The issue of fans supporting the team goes beyond Jacobs. We do seem to be easily discouraged. Although there is a chicken and egg quality to this problem, fan discouragement (booing) does seems to rub off on the team.

The home teams do not seem to have this problem in New Orleans, Greenbay or Dallas. We seem to have very fragile fans. One drop by Ballard in the first quarter and all the air is let out of the stadium. I guarantee we will not see that from the Saints and Cowboy fans over the next three weeks.

The reality of this year is that this team just isn’t that good, and if anything, they’ve still over-achieved.

Seems to me Mac pretty much did his job, but we had 6 guys protecting vs 4 Eags, MM open at 15 yd line and Eli had decent pocket but just took an extra split second to make sure he had open throwing lane, probably to make sure ball didnt get batted at LOS like last week’s game ended.

Enough about Jacobs already

The man is frustrated. He plays hard. The offense isn’t working.

After all the of the hubub this week I couldn’t lurk any longer… so I got me a sign on and this is my first comment…

Ed, isn’t it at possible that the plays just suck? I know you think that ‘sometimes the passing plays are brilliant’ (oh, my, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little), but I just don’t see it.

Looks to me like the defense knows exactly where the ball is going – especially on RUNNING plays. The linebackers fly to the point of attack and stuff the running back. No one is capable of running the ball when the defense knows precisely where the ball is going.

This all reminds me of the Sean Payton years. Remember the year after we went (and lost) the Superbowl? The year Jim Fassel had to yank the reigns from Sean Payton?

It wasn’t the players fault back then; and I don’t think it’s their fault now.

And if Gilbride is so brilliant – why doesn’t he get any offers to coach another team?

But back to my question: Do the plays – as written in the book – just plain suck?

The blocking just plain sucks.

I get frustrated with Gilbride sometimes, ESPECIALLY with some of the running plays, like you mentioned. But it’s hard to fault him when the o-line has gone to complete shit.

But I remind myself that I’d get frustrated with ANY coordinator…. and Gilbride is still a very, very good one. I’m shocked at how well this offense does in the 4th quarter of games, when with this o-line, the other defense already knows we’ve completely abandoned the run. Everyone knows Eli is throwing it down the field, play action doesn’t work at all, and guys are STILL somehow getting open.

I think we’d be making a huge mistake getting rid of him.

Unbelievable

First of all…with the amount of money most fans are doling out just to come see them for one game, yeah, they have every right to boo when the team is playing like garbage. These players seem to think their salaries just fall from the sky….The fans are paying customers, and when they aren’t happy with the product on the field, they have every right to express their displeasure. We don’t have to like everything they do just because we’re “fans.”

And second…if you can’t take the heat, then leave the kitchen. If NY is too tough a market for you to play in, then get the hell out. Psychologically fragile athletes don’t usually last very long in NY. Playing on this stage gives you every opportunity to showcase to the world your supreme talents, and there comes adoration for those that win that is seen or felt in few other markets around the world, if any. Those who win in this city/region are immortalized.

On the flip side of that, there are high standards to be met. The fans are frustrated after the last couple of years, and seeing our most hated division rival come into our house…again…and kick our team’s teeth in is intolerable as a fan. This team is not living up to expectations, and is looking like they’re on their way to yet another second-half collapse. Jacobs doesn’t seem to grasp any of this, and I won’t be losing any sleep over his certain departure after the year.

And for the record

The fans aren’t booing Jacobs individually. He seems to take stuff like this way too personally. Had I been at the game, I’d have booed as well, but if anyone, I’d be booing the o-line. I can’t fault Jacobs for Sunday’s performance. He had virtually nowhere to run. I understand that, and it must be incredibly frustrating for him. But don’t mistake our (or my) booing as a personal shot, Brandon, and you’d be wise to not take out your frustrations on the fans who are playing your multi-million salary.

All True, BUT

Bottom line is if you want Giants to have best chance of winning at home, what gives teams home advantage is LOUD support from fans whose energy transfers to their team and sometimes discombobulates opposition. Example: 3 consecutive sacks in Miami game on last possession. Miami offense was rattled by loud noise from crowd.
Same thing last year vs Jacksonville – 2 huge sacks on last possession. In both these games, D hadnt done much till then. But 80,000 screaming fans CAN make a difference, especially during critical moments.

Ballards’s drop on 2nd play from scrimmage last Sunday took the fans out of the game. It shouldnt have and Giants Offense sagged after that for rest of game. So even if Giants are playing piss poor, screaming home fans can help momentum turn. For some reason, this hasnt been what I’m hearing from new Giants Stadium..Any thoughts, anyone?

I think

That is the part that bothers me and I think that is what bothers Jacobs (and I’m sure the non-vocal players). Ballard drops one pass and people start screaming about how much he sucks, despite how he played the previous nine games. Players have talked for years about how they feed off of the crowd’s energy. Booing as soon as things start looking bad just gives them negative vibes to feed on. We aren’t as bad as the Philly fans yet but we really are starting to get close.

Another thing

I’ve complained about how the crowd isn’t always loud enough when the other team has the ball, but MetLife isn’t the only place like that. Cowboys Stadium, for as many people as it can hold, is about the same or even worse, especially given that the place has a retractable roof and can hold over 100,000 people. Brady has complained about the home crowd at NE more than once. Not every place can be as loud as Qwest Field (or whatever it’s called now).

That place is really really loud…

Like any stadium..it quiets down quick..

When like last year we came back..they shut right up..then Dallas started a bit of a comeback at the end and the place went beserk again…A crowd reacts according to how their team is doing…

Absolutely agree with Brandon.

you see it consistently with NY fans. A guy doesn’t do anything, so right away he sucks, he’s a bust, kill him, exile him, get him away..yadda yadda. Its the loudmouth NY fan stereotype that many love to portray.

Jacobs has been AWFUL this year, as has the entire running game.

The Giants have played terribly at home for the most part this year. If your team plays the first half the Giants did, you deserve to get booed, and the fans, who paid hundreds of dollars to see them play, have every right to boo.

Like I said earlier he can't run..nobody can without blocking..

But keep your mouth shut..Keep it in the locker room and take it to your lousy O-line, not your fans…
Although I must say that based on what I’m hearing, our Giants fans need a wake-up call..

And remember, we were picked to fight with Washington for 3rd place in the division. The schedule was part of this. And that was BEFORE all of the injuries. In some small way thie team has actually over achieved, and 8-8 is just about right

If we lose this week

I am calling it right now. Against Green Bay the booing will start in the first quarter after one of the following occurs:

A 3 and out possession
A run for less than 3 yards, no matter who has the carry (might take two, but I’m guessing 1 and likely will start as soon as Jacobs steps onto the field)
A dropped pass
Green Bay Third Down conversion
Two incomplete passes in the same set of downs
Eli gets sacked on third down

Once one of those happens I will almost bet money you will be able to hear the boos on TV. If two of those happen in the first quarter I guarentee it will happen. I was almost tempted to put “Offense does not score on first possession” but I really hope I would be wrong on that. If the Giants came back home with a 3 game losing streak people will just be itching to start booing.

Damn, this is all very accurate.

I can’t stand the fact that people who supposedly “love” the Giants don’t realize that they can help them by transferring positive energy through their cheers!

No need to boo there. Just cheer. We can do the booing later.

But the new many new ticket holders do not get the concept of 12th man. !2th man needs to be propagated at the Giants home games. Do these people go to watch and support the players and the game or do they go for entertainment. They can go to a video arcade for entertainment or play Madden.

we're passionate fans

people say “other fans don’t boo.” like Miami and tampa? these teams can’t even sell out when they’re playing GOOD. eagles, giants, and teams like that are diehard. we know what being a good team is and what a good team should play like. a lot of us were still there when our teams were terrible….we don’t accept mediocrity.

I’m not bashing the Gmen…but let me say this. Like I sad earlier. The eagles took acheap shot at your franchise qb, mocked your coach, and the fans, and beat the Giants into submission. Had the Giants fought hard, fought back, did their best, etc…. OK, maybe Jacobs had a point…Bu t they stood there bent over and took it.. And fans are paying a LOT of money to see a good game…a good product… Boo-ing is like a way of calling customer service ..cause you know what, even when the eagles suck or the giants suck, their fans (most of em anywya) will still be there.

Well good points Joe..The NFC East has passionate fans..and we always will support

Our teams..these players come and go but the true fans never leave..I’m looking towards NO..but I’ll say this..the Eagles beat the shit out of us..they had to win..they wanted to win and they did it..These players on both sides that think their shit don’t stink need a wake up call..You should keep your mouth shut and just play the game..that is what they are paid to do..No taunting, no complaining..just play ball hard and win..When you have an ass that points to the fans for an excuse..that is unacceptable..We all pay these guys salaries all of us..Every team..Us fans pay for them..I don’t mind seeing my team lose as long as they fight hard..If you do that and wind up losing..I’m okay with that..but when nit-wit players try to blame the fans..I have a problem with that..and Jacobs is a prime example..Go in that locker room and figure this shit out..don’t blame the people that are paying a fortune to watch you lose miserably..

Why?

Why do you all even bother with what this overgrown baby says anymore? He’s been spouting verbal diarrhea since he came into league. Here is a 260 lbs running back whose own coach doesn’t trust him to run into the end zone from the 2 yard line! C’mon people. I blame the radio stations that even give this douche the 3 minutes on air. The only reason they want to talk to him is because they are all but guaranteed for him to say something dumb. He doesn’t get it. Year after year he insults the people who pay his salary – me!
And as for fans booing – I’ve been a season fix holder since my father got a call 10 years ago saying his time was due for season fix on that great big waiting list the team used to have before the new stadium – oh and he put his name on list in 1976!!! So we only waited 25 years to be called. And we sit up in the second to last row in the stadium – that’s the 2nd from TOP!!! of stadium. And we sit there and pay our $2,000 PSL and our $85 per ticket and our $25 to park a car and we see the team come out flat, uninterested, malaise, tallying up a measly 66 yards thru mid 2nd quarter and not even come to the defense of their own quarterback and they DESERVE to be booed right off that field. Every single time. Giants fans have always been EXTREMELY vocal – in stadium, in parking lots tailgating and on the radio. The game the other night against the Eagles was one of the loudest games I’ve hear in YEARS! When that defense had Eagles in a 3rd down play that place was LOUD!! and yet the last TD drive for the Eagles the Giants give up 3rd down after 3rd down after 3rd down, like a human sieve. It was disgusting and worthy of boos. So if Mr. Jacobs can’t seem to take ANY responsibility for his shitty performances week after week then I will only be all to happy to laugh at him when he is running for 30 yards a week in Carolina or Jacksonville or Kansas City where there’s NEVER a sell out… Good riddance you whiny crybaby

Actully I was saying while watching the game in tv that it sure is loud there.

So the team had support. I still think that yes the players were booed but people were also saying Cruuuuuuuuzzzz and players like Jacobs confused everything as boooos (guilty conscious i say)

He's completely right.

New York fans in general are “what have you done for me lately” fans. Having multiple teams in the area makes it easy.

Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.

Really?!

Having the fans boo the home team is tough but really, can you blame them? It’s this constant “playing down” to the other team that is just pathetic. Especially at home. They had the chance to finish off a struggling division rival at home and finally put that collapse last year in the past. Now the coaches are blaming the players, and the players are blaming the fans. Honestly, I think they need to get whooped by NO or GB this way some eyes are opened. I don’t know if I can take any more of this blame game. They need to realize they are the ones in control of how they play, not the fans.

Most fans around the country don’t boo their own team. It just reinforces the stereotype about NY fans being obnoxious, classless and just plain nasty. Grow up people and support your team through good and bad times.

Hey Jacobs stop tippy toeing. Stop trying to be a finess runner and be the big bruiser you are supposed to be. Stop looking stymied on the side line and do something with your sorry ass. I used to like you now I can’t wait until you are gone.

by jstrotha0975 on Nov 24, 2011 10:33 AM EST reply actions  

Jacobs... You're a big bum

You should not be a running back because you don’t get any yardage unless there is a gigantic hole made by the offensive line. Other than that all you do is either fall forward for a yard or two, or you run into the back of the blockers because your ball carrier vision sucks. You are too slow to run east and west, and too stupid to make something out of nothing going north or south. You can’t catch, you talk too much and you are too big to be such a big pussy. You should be a linebacker except for the simple fact that you probably can’t tackle either. Shut up and perform and the fans wouldn’t have anything to boo your pathetic ass for

while paulie knucklez observations on jacobs r spot on

i think there needs to be a massive makeover at metlife stadium, everytime ive been to a giants game they get booed if they go 3 and out on the first drive, eli gets booed if he has consecutive bad weeks, and i constantly hear fans being cynical, and practically hoping that they get a chance to boo.
while the last 2 weeks have driven me crazy, what is the point of booing and not having confidence in our team?? if we dont have confidence in them, then what do they have to play for? no team plays hard to prove their own fans wrong.
yes the giants lost to 3 terrible teams this year. but theyve also beaten some very good ones. when the giants beat the patriots (both times) it was because they believed in themselves, and thats what they need from us when the packers come to town…
