Fair enough. I'm game to watch it play out.

You're good at what you do, D. It brings up good debates.

If GB lost, there wouldve been a legit chance that all 3 of our teams made the playoffs this year.

Now with GB winning, I think its not going to happen. 2 teams will make it though, with 1 missing out.

Its going to be an interesting end to the season. Our division is always the toughest in the league. If our teams didn't beat each other to death every season, just imagine how much more dominant this division would be.

I think we need Dallas to totally collapse. Losses to SD, NO, Philly would be very helpful.

Realistically, its the best chance for the Giants to make the playoffs. I don't see us making the playoffs if the Cowboys don't choke December. We're the odd team out right now, so unless something gives, we're screwed.

I still think the packers will choke, starting this week with a loss to the bears.

If we win out, we go to the playoffs. We'll have tie breakers over Philly if we win on Sunday (div record)

Do the Giants have any kind of feelings of revenge after getting humiliated by the Eagles the first time around? Or are they sorta just waiting for another whipping?

Giantsfan1080 · 12-08-2009, 03:15 PM

I'm sure they're not at Giants Stadium waiting for a whipping. They probabaly want revenge but they're not going to come out and say anything publically.

D-Unit · 12-08-2009, 04:59 PM

Just sayin'... cause I think Washington really wants revenge on us and we really want revenge on Philly at the end of the year.

I think you overestimate "revenge". Not that either team can't beat the ones that beat them before, but they're not going to try any harder because they lost the last one.

The Giants need some (more) momentum. Seriously. Hopefully someone on the Eagles will say something dumb and outlandish. I used to be confident because Runyan would run his mouth and Strahan would pwn him. Who knows? Is Winston starting? Maybe that'll get Osi back on track

All we heard about before the first game was how mad the Giants were that McNabb picked up the phone on the sideline last year. Didn't really do much, did it? The Giants will win, but it won't be because they get mad at anything someone said.

Justice will be starting, but neither Umenyiora nor Tuck did anything worth a **** last time.

They may not think they're trying any less harder, but the want is more. That want can be used as powerful motivation. Good coaches use any kind of motivation possible. I'm a believer that players play better when motivated.

bigbluedefense · 12-09-2009, 09:29 AM

Us Giants fans need to let the whole Winston Justice thing go. He's been a great RT since that debacle against Osi.

He's starting to become the Tackle we all thought he'd be coming out.

I really hope the Giants keep the passing game short and intermediate. Eli can't throw the deep ball right now. Let's not be dumb and go Air Coryell on em when our qb can't throw it deep.

I just don't see us beating the Eagles though. To be fair, I have lost pretty much most of my confidence in the Giants. They are just not playing the way they should, and I just don't think of this current team in their current situation to be a very good team.

So I expect any good team we go against to beat us.

Can we agree this is done just on the basis that you completely swung and missed on the Cowboys portion of this prediction?

Right now the Cowboys are again failing in December, 0-2 this season in December something is fundamentally wrong with the Dallas team if this is always happening. I think it is a mental thing now, before it was just a few unlucky Decembers but now it is a head game where once the Calender switches to December the team feels extra pressure.

And not only did the prediction miss in terms of Dallas but it has the potential to swing and miss on both the Giants and the Eagles, and I don't think potential is the right word because it probably will miss.

Props on the bold prediction and making the call last season but this one isn't on target.

/end beating a dead horse

Recover? Wrong word.

Besides, Cowboys will still make the Cowboys, oh ye of little faith.

FreshBoy! · 12-13-2009, 08:09 PM

surely there's some jest in the wording.

I have tons of faith! Probably the most optimistic boys fan here... I also know once the seeds of doubt are planted it becomes much harder to overcome. I was hoping the boys could win 3/5. Not looking that way heading into NO.

Actions speak louder than words. You're up and down depending on how well they're playing.
