I commented on the game day thread that I had gotten stuck at a gig, but I did watch the first three drives of the game on my phone. After the Jones INT I turned it off and it never went back on.
I know it was a really disappointing end to the season, but I had said to my friends at work this week that I thought we'd lose by 2-3 scores. Look at each team's rosters and tell me which position group you wouldn't swap for the Eagles' players. Their roster might be the best in the league right now, and we're trotting out street free agents and practice squad players.
Last night before bed my wife said she was sorry about how the game went, but I replied "I'm not. I thought we'd win four games this season; we more than doubled that and beat the #2 seed in the playoffs with practice squad players. What are we going to do once we have NFL caliber players on the team?"
I'm really, REALLY excited to see what we look like when Fabian Moreau isn't a starting corner... when Isiah Hodgins isn't your #1 WR... when Ben Bredeson isn't your best interior lineman. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year and we were playing with house money the entire time.
I haven't been this excited about a Giants team since after Eli's rookie season. Can't wait for next year, and fuck the Eagles with a sawfish bill.
