I believe they should try and win every game! There is no way coaches and players would play to lose on purpose. If players thought coaches were calling games to lose, they would lose the locker room because it’s a business decision for them and the money they make in years to come is gonna depend on how they play the game Whether they win or lose. If they’re set up to lose from the get-go, it would not go over well with anybody including ownership. Plus, it’s so much more fun when they’re playing to win even if they lose if they’re in the game and they’re competitive, it’s a good game. Thanks for the podcast 😎
Hey Coach! I’m always looking for a win, just as Coach Tom Coughlin told fans and media in ‘07 before the last game of the season vs, the Pats? Remember that one and his mantra?”We play to win. We won’t treat this game any different. That’s what we do.” So don’t cave in for a unpredictable draft choice. Winning is a habit, a habit that has to be cultivated and tested time and again. It hopefully infests the culture. As you said, “It’s contagious.” Sadly the Giants seem to have been “cured” of that. Stay well!
...I'm on the side of winning with one exception. The last game of the season could be lost only if loosing would GREATLY move you up to get that Fantastic player.
I enjoy your podcast Coach Gene and I'd like to think I'm on the side of winning instead of tanking. But I do know there also some consequences to winning when it comes to competing with other QB needy teams for the draft. Also are the Giants in line for higher compensatory picks with how well Saquon and Mckinney are playing currently?
Right now, I'm riding the fence. Yes I want the Giants to win, but I have no faith in this GM and headcoach regime and I want them gone. The first season was an aberration, they won games in the 2nd half and they have gotten worse since then.
I need the NYG to win every game. I feel like we're building a solid team. Scheme is everything and I believe that Dabs might be the problem. I believe another solid DT and #1 CB. The defense could be above average. Development is Everything. Giants over any team always
Go for the win. So many players have to learn to play better. Banks catch point and zone, Phillips tackling and coverage, Nubin interceptions and coverage, Ojulari setting edge. Oŕ we could just ask Banks to play lax for rest of year.
I’ve been a fan for over 40 years. I’ll root for them to win but be satisfied when they lose. I think 6 years of Jones has been a curse. If it winds up being 7 that will be it for me. But, of course, I don’t believe in tanking. Players and coaches don’t tank.
I never root for the Giants to lose. There are so few games a season as compared to other sports, I can't imagine wasting a season rooting for a loss. Root for a win. Coach Killer Jones will take care of our draft spot. Agree with getting Paul on!
I agree with the idea that the players need to get used to winning and not losing, but joe schoen has failed to set the team up in the right direction. When we won a playoff game 2 years ago, that should have been the start of our winning culture. But since then, schoen got rid of key LEADERS that got us to win in Love, Mckinney, and Barkley. His drafts have also been pretty poor if you look at them as a whole. I am also still bothered by Winks' departure as it has left a bad look in how our franchise is run. I root for our team to win every week, but its time to get a new qb which is THE key to changing franchises. We cant miss another opportunity to get one and that is why I believe losing would benefit us in the long run. Daboll needs an opportunity to coach his QB. If we wait one more year to draft one, Schoen and Daboll may not be here. That would leave us ultimately taking a step back from where were only 3-4 years ago.
Win now!!! Play to win all the time even after being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. If the GM, coaches, and team leaders start making "business decisions", what does that say to the team? People overlook and deny one of the factors why the 2022 team made the playoffs. Think how many times under Joe Judge the Giants were in games, and competing despite him...until he lost his mind and the locker room. Play to win keep leaders and talent..Find a way to keep Slayton and Ojulary. I think DJ will have his usual descent to good game as he will be away from MetLife and the boo-birds that come out whenever there's a bad play. By the way...Taylor and DeVito do well with the anticipation because they are playing with house money. They never get crushed on over, under, or errant throws. Regarding the draft, always the best player available over needs. Do we take a QB without having all the other pieces in place ??? I say, no! Think DJ and Gino... Question. Do we take the best player available if it is an offensive lineman???? We have a number of young high draft o- linemen riding the pine.
I love Clemens, listen to him daily. But the fact is without Tommy Devitos useless wins our quarterback today would be Drake Maye. That’s the hard reality of winning 5, 6 or 7 games. But we could have even given Bo Nix a shot. Drafting is always a gamble but I’d rather gamble on a QB. As great as Nabers probably will be, we are 2 and 7, a WR alone cannot move the dial.
I want the Giants to win. Let the chips fall where they will in the draft. I want to win every game. I want the coaches to figure out how best to use the players they. Go Giants!
Let's LOSE PLEASE!! I hate saying it, but we need the best possible draft position and losing this game will do that for us for getting our future QB! Love your shows coach, keep them coming!
I don’t consider Malik a luxury pick. The giants needed to be in love with a QB. MCCarthy was an option. However I don’t agree with you on Penix bc he has had multiple injuries and he is left handed when we have a star left tackle. But I do think we need to keep winning. The draft is no guarantee.
Coach… it doesn’t matter what we hope or wish for. We want the Giants to win and to get the first draft pick. How do you think that will work out? The players will play and the outcome will be the outcome. And the consequences have to be lived with. So what does our opinion matter?
It wasn’t t that hard for Washington to go from losers to winners, once they got the best QB with a top pick. Even the Giants used to be Washington. Now they are in top.
I rather the giants lose so that we can be in position to get a QB like for real because we really missed out on this years draft the season is over anyway us sitting at 2-7 hit the reset button 🤦♂️
I’m on the side of trying to win. It not just on the players. It’s also the GM all the coaches. Call some better plays. Give some of the young players a chance. AKA Evan Neal. Draft better. This draft is looking good. The two before that. We still don’t know. Call some better plays. It’s not only on the players.

Let’s go Giants!!!!
Love your enthusiasm! I’m right there with you!
We need to start at the top and straighten this whole organization out!!!!!!!!💙💙💙💙🏈🏈🏈🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great pod! I’m hopeful for a win tomorrow!!!!!
And Daboll wanted Jayden Daniels. I can’t help but think how different our team would be.

Im on the side of winning.. no matter what i want us to win
I’m 57, been a fan as long as I can remember, I want my team to win each. I don’t believe in tanking a season because the rookies can be a crap shoot.

I believe you got your wish coach reports of Neal starting at RT.. I hope it's true I hope he does well

IDK coach, Im not starting DJ on my Fantasy Team lol

What QB is worth losing for? They all seem to have major flaws, making them not worth a top 3 selection.
The team has not given up and they never will. Doesn’t mean they will win. And if they lose , after trying to win, so be it.
Win, and let the chips fall where they may.
I don’t consider Malik a luxury pick. The giants needed to be in love with a QB. MCCarthy was an option. However I don’t agree with you on Penix bc he has had multiple injuries and he is left handed when we have a star left tackle.
But I do think we need to keep winning. The draft is no guarantee.
Yes, but only bc they signed Lock for 5mil guaranteed so if they drafted Penix, DeVito would have to be cut.

Winning hasn’t helped us for 10 years now, I need quality draft picks
I played the game, and I couldn’t imagine playing to lose, but those days are over 😂😂
I rather the giants lose so that we can be in position to get a QB like for real because we really missed out on this years draft the season is over anyway us sitting at 2-7 hit the reset button 🤦♂️
Year 7 of Daniel Jones means Giants go on a winning streak this year - that's a good thing.
