I remember feeling the hood of your car and it was cold. Come to find out there were nights you slept in the office. No one worked harder, no one demanded more and I LOVE YOU for it. I chose this picture for one reason and one reason only. Everyone knows you for your dedication to your team and how intense you are on the football field. But I will remember you for helping me become a man and challenging all of us to be better husbands and fathers and men. You did it the right way Coach.

The question I have is this…is this teams psyche so bad that they needed a team meeting in week two because players are “tip-toeing” around and not “taking the game” to the opposing team?</p> <p>Asking that question doesn’t make me less of fan….it makes me a true fan. I’ve seen some tremendous highs in my 37 years of cheering for this franchise. I’ve seen so tremendous lows as well. Yet, I have never wavered. I have never stop cheering, stopped defending or stopped believing. But I also never lied to myself. Franchises go through these stretches….some of them go through these types of things for years without ever knowing what the ultimate feels like. We are not in the category. We have seen the top of the mountain and the bottom of the barrel.</p> <p>The truth remains, that this team is up against it this weekend. They are facing a solid team all around…a QB that hasn’t thrown a interception this season versus a defense that hasn’t intercepted a single pass. A beast of a man named JJ Watt is going to bring his non-stop motor (JPP should take notes) against a run offense ranked 29th in the league after two games. They will bring a solid defense that makes timely plays against an offense that can’t get out of its own way. And the question remains what have we seen over the last couple of years that gives you hope that this team can turn it around?</p> <p>Have I given up? Never. But I am honest enough to recognize that if the Giants don’t play big today this season can get “Munsoned out here in the middle of nowhere”…</p> <p><iframe class="youtube-player" width="1170" height="659" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8lIFItbwqVA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></p> <p>This is not the Super Bowl team of 2007 or 2011 — this cast of characters is a far cry from those teams. They had fight. They had balls. They weren’t afraid of anyone. Apparently, after the team meeting last Wednesday we can question whether these Giants have any of those things.</p> <p>I pray to my lord Buddha that I am wrong…that this team is ready, willing and able to shock us all and turn this around. That they get mad and show some fight. That they take the game to the Texans in a way we haven’t seen for 3 years now. Let’s face it…since the run in 2011 the play around these parts has been uninspiring to say the least.</p> <p>That can change today or it can be the same old song. The Giants can make something out of this season still….but it won’t be handed to them…they will have to take it themselves. This isn’t about talent. This is about will. The 2007 and 2011 teams were not the most talented rosters in the league, but they made their minds up that they were not going to lose. They made their minds up that no matter what happened during the game or the course of the season that they can overcome. They never stopped fighting. 53 guys with one mind, one focus, one goal.</p> <p>That does not seem to be the feeling we are getting from the Giants this year. They seem unsure, unfocused and the worst part is after reading about the team meeting, they seem mentally fragile.</p> <p>So question my Fanhood all you want….I pride myself on “calling a spade a spade.” &#8211;</p> <p>“If it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck…odds are it’s a fucking duck.” #FlatStomachedBuddha</p> <p>I Bleed Big Blue like all of you and I will to my dying day. You can keep the suit when “I shed this mortal coil.” – I will be buried in my Simms jersey. Saying this team is in trouble doesn’t make me any less of a fan…it just makes me less delusional then some people that obviously “Can’t Handle the Truth!”</p> <p><iframe class="youtube-player" width="1170" height="659" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9FnO3igOkOk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></p> <p>Come this Sunday it is up to you Big Blue! We are #AllIn with you. Always have been and always will be. But if you stumble again, if you look clueless again, if you shoot yourselves in the foot again, just know that I love you to much to lie to you and I will be calling you out again.</p> <p>“Three things cannot be long hidden: a real fan, a blind fan, and the truth.” #FlatStomachedBuddha</p> <p>GAME PREDICTION:</p> <p>Despite the grim outlook surrounding this team, I think they show up today. They know this game is huge and that it is getting late early. They have to know that in 4 days they can be 2-2 or 0-4 and the difference between the two. One provides hope…the latter will get people fired by seasons end.</p> <p>Giants 21 Texans 17</p> <p>See you next week peeps – as always BLEED BIG BLUE!</p> </div><p>The post <a href="https://bleedbigblue.com/big-blue-truth-like-it-or-not/">Big Blue Truth Like It Or Not</a> first appeared on <a href="https://bleedbigblue.com">Bleedbigblue.com</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> 					 					<wfw:commentrss>https://bleedbigblue.com/big-blue-truth-like-it-or-not/feed/</wfw:commentrss> 			<slash:comments>0</slash:comments> 		 		 		<post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">3111</post-id>	</item> 	</channel> </rss>
