MetsJets1962 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 According to Bowles. What's your take on this? I mean I suppose it's a bit like when the Mets play the Yankees, albeit the games are more frequent. I mean as much as I hate the Yankees and love beating them I couldn't really call them a rival.

jetscrazey Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Mets and Yankees play games that count every year. Jets and Giants play just once every 4 years when it counts, and they've never met in a Super Bowl. Totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsJets1962 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yeah I know it's different. Still wouldn't call the Yankees a rival even though we play them regular. That was my point Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet9 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 The only legit 'in town' rivalry in NY sports is Rangers/Islanders/Devils. Said it in another thread, if the Nets and Knicks were ever good at the same time that would be one too. Mets, Yankees, Giants, and Jets fans who hate on each other are wasting time. There's a few franchises in Boston and Philly, among a few others, that deserve some more attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmouth Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Jets /Giants in not a rivalry for the teams its a rivalry for the fans .I'm sure it has some effect on the players for NY bragging rights but there is no true rivalry there at all.

jack48 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think there is some "let's show the fans of NY who the best NY team is", but not the personal animosity that is gelt inter divisionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I agree. I never had a problem with the Giants. I've rooted for them during their last 2 trips to the SB against the Pats. One of my fav QB's in the league is Eli Manning. ODB (though overhyped by the NFL for no reason) is just great to watch. I always liked Tiki Barber and the 2007 version of Brandon Jacobs. I never had a bad or rivalry-type feeling towards the Giants. I just thought that Jets games, and fans were much more exciting. I've been to a Giants game and the crowd sucks and the their play, although efficient just didnt excite me. I always respected the Giants though.

Bugg Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 For this week, it's a game both teams need to win because the loser is probably done for any chance at the playoffs. To the players and coaches that really is all that matters. One of Ryan's greatest failings was the Christmas Eve game where he ran his mouth. To about winning football games, the rest of it is details. Bowles is taking the right approach. Whether that helps a gimpy Revis on Beckham...

Persiussa Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It's not for me. Most of the giants fans I know will talk legitimate football with me and don't get involved in much trash talk.

BowlesMovement Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I hate the general Giants fan. I have family and friends who are Giants fans, and know some that are good, but there are so many that are obnoxious a holes about the Giants. I also hate how the Giants organization likes to take quiet digs and swipes at the Jets and their fans. The Giants organization and their fans like to act like they are all class, but they are not at all. And while I respect Coughlin as a coach, I hate watching him bitch and whine at the officials every damn play. At the same time, I will say its effective, becuase it gets them calls. They get away with murder and other teams almost always get the shaft from the refs when playing them, and I really think Coughlins bitching at them non stop is why, much like Brady and the Pats.

jbt Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 i can't stand another loss to them which propels them to another super bowl win. we have not beat them since '93 i think. we are due. need to knock Eli around all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Rivalry for the fans more than the players. Bowles sticks to his low key approach Pretty much the case with every opponent. Tons of opposing players hugging/laughing/joking around pre-game, during commercials and post-game. Its their job...fans get way more worked up than the players do on a weekly basis.

johnnyjet Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Heres what pisses me off... The Giant fan acts as if they have been an elite team since 1925 when in reality they SUCKED from thr 60s until Parcells came to town. Keep in mind the Jets won the Superbowl 17 years before the Giants. They have one of the biggest drug users and convicted rapist as their "guy" . But they talk sh*t like these things never happened. So the giants are 1 of 32 teams, 31 I hate , some more than others. But Giants fans are all around so I despise some of the delusional ones.

flgreen Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'll hate the Giants this week, but I have lived in Florida a long time, and my dislike for the Giants, and their fans, has mellowed over the years. Both Giants fans, and Jet fans share a dislike for the Fish, and Pats in the area I live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villain The Foe Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Why? He was exciting, especially when he stopped fumbling the ball. Remember, this is back in the day when pretty much the only other games you could watch in NY on a weekly basis was the Giants and Cowboys, though I never really cared for the Cowboys.

Kleckineau Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 My 88 year old father is a Giants fan and has been since he was a teen. I am grateful they gave my old man that and of course happy they have the Pats* number when it comes to the Superbowl. How awful would it be if they beat the Giants twice? Having said that I hope the Jets crush them and their playoff hopes this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 This is not a rivalry but I'm sure each teams ownership really wants to win the game, especially when you both play in the same stadium. I wish this was more of a rivalry but unfortunately our side hasn't produced over the years. Just seeing Giant fans with their jerseys on and they have so many different players that they can wear on their backs. We are so limited with who we can wear on our backs. It's a must game for both teams so there is additional yapping for the fan base as the loser is going to be in a very bad position for a playoff spot.

The old farts wear Bavaro. Thats pretty much it. They're hardly a storied franchise like the steelers or something, a lot of their success was fairly recent.
