Are you happy the Giants lost?

[OilfieldJet]

Not anti-Giants, but their success might embarrass Woody, act as an incentive to spend more.

[BigRy56]

I don’t know a lot of Giant fans so I don’t hear too much about them outside of the radio. In that regard, I am glad that we can move on from their mini-run and get back to Jets off-season talk, but I don’t actually care too much about their successes or failures as a franchise

[Biggs]

I didn't really care that they lost.  I was looking foward to an enjoyable game with some drama.  It was a game that showed that even in a league where mediocrity is rewarded, mediocre can't compete.

The Giants had a great year because they over achieved in a league that rewards mediocre with playoff berths.  The Eagles are one of the small group of elite teams in this league.  Healthy the Giants simply didn't match up.  

Hurst was the 53rd pick in the 2020 draft.  Kudos to Philadelphia for not just making the playoffs in year 3 of their rebuild but actually building an elite NFL team.

[ScarletKnight89]

I'm glad they not only lost, but got embarrassed.

While I love the Head Coach, I always thought that team wasn't really that good and was getting overrated by their fans and the media. The team got off to a great start but only won 2 regular season games from week 10 on. They beat a soft Vikings team in the 1st round. Obviously you have to give them credit for the season they had but i'm glad it ended with a bitter rival dominating them from start to finish.

You’re surrounded by Giants fans down there in DC?

Nope.

Surrounded by Commanders Fan, Steelers Fans, Cowboys Fans, Eagles Fans, etc., amongst others. 

DC region has a bit of everyone.

No real Jets fan rooted for the Patriots that day.

Exactly..  

I’m sure a very small % of people/kids claiming to be Jets fans rooted for Belichik/Brady and the Pats ..but not “real” Jets fans..as you say.  
 

The post is just intended to be a shot at Jets fans.  That was a difficult game to experience last night for Giants fans.  Emotional fallout needs to be managed.  Jet fans become a target for some.

They lost? I didn't even know

I became a Jets fan back in the early 70's because of Namath, and because the Jets were a brash kind of counter-culture rebel team among the hoary old franchises like the Colts, Giants, Browns, etc. They were a breath of fresh air in a way. To me the Giants and the Yankees were alway too much the big castle on the hill teams -- like rooting for the athletic equivalent of Amazon or Microsoft. There was and remains a sense of entitlement and smugness that rub me the wrong way. And it infects the fan base as well, just as it does with Patriot fans. If you've lived in NYC for a while and you're a Jets fan, I can't imagine you haven't experienced what I'm talking about. So while I respect the records on the field, I honestly don't much like either the image or the fans who actually believe that their sports teams winning makes them winners. So I'll enjoy the Giants' loss, if only to quiet the crowing rabble.

The answer to this question for each individual Jets fan will be completely determined by the dooshyness level of the Giants fans in their lives.  
 

For me, I was ecstatic the Giants got boot stomped

[UntouchableCrew]

Of course, I hate the Giants.

I was right there with ya, right up until the last 4 words.  Although this season, it is kind of hard to argue against their suckage.  But at least for old time sake, Lets Go Islanders!!!

Its not that I am happy that the Giants lost.  I am just happy that this guy will not likely show up on my timeline for at least another 8 months.

I never did get the Giants hate. The Jets used to always beat them in the early 80’s. I attribute it to the bitter Mets fan mentality.

I’ll never forget, I was in a bar watching the 2007 Super Bowl and I saw several Jers fans rooting for the patriots to win and get their undefeated season. I couldn’t believe it. The patriots they were rooting for over the Giants. Insane

Eh it’s simple. Jet fans have friends that are Giants fans and live in NY. They have to deal with it being rubbed in their faces that the other NY is better. 

We don’t see Pats fans. We don’t live in Boston. So who cares?

Part of it is @BP what happens around here when the giants make the playoffs.

media, retail all you see and hear us giants and what a great org they are.

you simply don’t get the same every 20 years when the jets make it

fir example I am in the food store yesterday and as soon as I walk I in giants ballon’s, cakes,banners and cupcakes.

when was the last time I saw jets cupcakes?

I want jets cupcakes dammit!

Yes, similar to how I feel when the Yankees lose as a Mets fan. I’m a jealous and broken fan.

The GIANTS and their coaching staff were rediculously overconfident vs the Birds.

This set the Giants up for an EPIC FAIL.

It’s a weird situation for me.

My dad is 93, and he and my daughter are both Giants fans. They love watching the games together every week. I love that they share that and want to see them both happy.

If I’m up on Long Island visiting I always get a kick out of watching it with them, so to be honest, I wanted to see the Giants win. (Especially for my dad)

 

How the heck did you become a Jets fan? What went wrong, Green Ghost? lol

[Flea Flicking Frank]

I despise the Giants mostly because I grew up around the most obnoxious Giants fans and during the 80's they were awful, like they climbed mount everest and bestowed Giants fandom as a result

[Larz]

No. I know a lot of giants fans and how much it hurts. There’s nothing that can happen externally to change how bad it is for the jets.

I didn’t want to root for the same team all the grownups in my family did.
The Jets were a new team, playing in a new stadium, and Joe Namath was cool as f**k to a 10 yo kid.

[GuitarJet]

I am a Jet Yankee Ranger fan. Could care less about the two NBA teams. But in the end I am a native New Yorker, who will root for a NY team when mine are eliminated from contention. This Giants team feels like 1984. Outclassed by a better opponent (Chicago), but with a good youngish coaching staff and QB and a decent nucleus to build around. Fully expected them to get blown out. The Jets, well they continue to be the Jets.

I still have clear memories of 09-10 when the tables were briefly turned. Jets were the talk of the town and the giants were an afterthought, complete nobodies. That’s when the patronizing “I hope the jets do well” turned into pure vitriol and spite from them. Many, many celebrating obnoxiously after the loss in Pittsburgh. Yes I hate them.

Me either but as a bitter and frustrated Jets fan I literally find joy in watching any team lose.

EXACTLY how I feel!!!  If the Jets and Mets won more Superbowls and World Series, then I can be magnanimous and wish good things for the Giants and Yankees.  But that's not reality, is it?

I am a jealous and broken fan; you put it exactly right!!  And the Giants getting smoked last night made me happy, although just any loss by even 1 point would have been good enough.

[jmat321]

Very it’s the Giant fans more than anything.  

[Barry McCockinner]

couldn't care less. just happy the Eagles didn't really go for 2 when they were up 27-0 because I had square for 8-0.

[NIGHT STALKER]

I use to be a Giants fan...yep, sure was.  Myself and four friends got tired of the Giants and their coach, Allie Sherman back in the 60's.  The Jets drafted JWN and we decided to bolt...mixed emotions on that.  I don't root for them to win or lose.  

[johnnyjet]

I happpier they got blown out. They were non competitive and I loved it.  We play them next season.  Let’s hope that’s not our Super Bowl and we actually make one. 

[carlito1171]

Don't really care. My hatred for the GMen has dwindled over the past few years........even find myself becoming indifferent towards what happens with Miami and Buffalo if it isn't directly related to the Jets 

Only team that gets a reaction out of me when they lose is the Pats.....No way I'm not celebrating a Pats loss lol

A lot of the hate comes from the media.  The headlines always used to read "GIANTS LOSE, jets win".  They call the  Giants BIG BLUE!! while the Jets are called Gang Green, in homage to a flesh killing bacteria.  

The only 2 times I have ever rooted for the Giants was against the Pats in the SB.  Other than that, Fock 'em.
