Rightful criticism is of course subjective. I don't consider your response to our 1st preseason game "rightful".
If you want to come on heavy against our team, you better be able to support your strong words with intelligent commentary or be prepared to be pounced on.
Intelligent commentary? Are you telling me you watched that game and can't come to the conclusion they looked terrible in just about every way possible other than the 1st play of the game? What do I need to INTELLIGENTLY comment about that? Trying to tell me it looked anything other than what I'm stating is what sounds unintelligent or no clue what a football team is supposed to perform like. I watched the game and and yes I wasn’t happy with it but I also didn’t treat it like a real game. We have brand new coaches, schemes and a lot of new faces. I’m in no way going to judge them from their first preseason game.

It is just the 1st pre-season game.

preseason games. Imagine if we went right into the regular season without them. .
you mean like College who has no preseason games and is fully up to speed with amateurs?

Colleges hold scrimmages, which are used for the same purpose as preseason games.

Colleges hold scrimmages, which are used for the same purpose as preseason games. and so do NFL teams which have more complex scrimmages against opponents than they show in a preseason game. The preseason games are worthless as I see it. Preseason game 3 is equal to the scrimmages while the first two preseason games are as vanilla as you can get while game 4 is fun practice. meanwhile, many teams are holding joint practices across the league. Jets/Redskins had a brawl which is more emotion all of these week one preseason games. I think these games are a waste and should drop to a max of two if not eliminated altogether.

I feel like I just got bumped back to the old board. No, I guess not. Hasn't reached that level of aggression yet. Of course, a little give and take keeps things interesting.

Typical d-bag homer reply I get it, Ripped. The passion and the disappointment in poor play and a losing season. I was right there where you are long time ago. I've been a Giants fan since 1958 and I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly. I watched the "Miracle at the Meadowlands game at home on a new color tv. Right after the end of that game I destroyed the tv in my fury. I had an epiphany after my wife threatened me with filing divorce papers if I continued that way with the Giants. I realized then that my life did not change one iota whether they won or lost. I can still lose my cool during a bad game (not to that extent, though), but I don't let it ruin my whole week like it used to. When it's over, it's over and on to the next game. I love the Giants, for better or worse and I always will. It is after all entertainment and thats all it is unless you are an inveterate gambler and loose large sums of money. Their poor play or their good play is not a reflection on you. Like me you probably love the team, just don't let it ruin your week if they lose. Wow. That’s wild. In retrospect, that play was the best thing that ever happened to our Giants. It forced them to clean house. Even though it happened on my birthday.
