NY Giants!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brettski]

You heard it here first, the Giants will make the playoffs....

 

[Mapnut]

I don't consider making the playoffs much of an accomplishment. Lots of mediocre (sorry ) teams make the playoffs and lose in the first round. Like last year. The Giants aren't playing well enough to win in the playoffs.

 

[SkiDork]

so are those "lose in the first round" teams any better than those that don't make it?

 

[Brettski]

wouldn'tyou say in is better than not in?

That actually applies to other things as well ;-)

Well, we will see in any case...it all starts with this Sunday

 

[JimG.]

Football...weird game.

So the Giants finally win a game and the cowgirls go out and get their butts kicked by the Saints. Go figure.

Giants are going to kick themselves for losing the second game to Dallas. The Saints made Romo look like what he really is...an inexperienced QB.

Like the St. Louis Cards?

In any case Plax and shockey actually caught balls yesterday...amazing...

Did you see Plax whiing like a spoiled child when he was wide open in the end zone in the 1st and didn't get the ball...he needs to grow up

Now how can you figure out the Jets?

Amazing

And the Pats and Indy lost

 

[ski_resort_observer]

I am curious what do you think Jacob's problem was yesterday? So ironic that I saw Peyton on the tube after their loss and he sounded just like Eli, a few weeks ago. Anyway, great game if your a Giants fan.

I'll pretend to not get your joke. Certainly in baseball, wildcard teams have often gotten hot and won the whole thing. But in football, the Suberbowl winner is more often the biggest winner during the season. I haven't checked the stats on this, correct me if I'm wrong. I forget, which Cards were those?

The season is wierd and might be the trend for the forseeable future. It might be about how a team matchups every week; whether they have the players and schemes to beat that particular opponent. The only team who has played consistently well is SD.

Not always. Last year the Stillers were 7-5 before running the table to a 6 seed Wild card to SB winner.
The '01 Pats were a Wild Card team, as were the '02 Bucs. I'm going to check the stats, but there are a few Cinderella stories out there....

Biggest wild card Cinderella story is the 1982(?) Raiders...they played the heavily favored Redskins and kicked their asses. Marcus Allen ran wild.

Pats 01 and buc 02 were not wild card teams, they had byes. Raven 00 and steelers 05 were wild cards and won the sb. IIRC last year, the steelers was playing great football from dec to the playoffs. That has been the usual trend, sb teams are the ones that are clicking on all aspect of their game around late nov to dec.

Sorry if I offended you

In any case, the Chargers look like the team to beat

Anyway, the Giants have too much talent to have had such a mediocre season....thy very well might get hot

The Jets are just a mystery to me

It looks like it.... here's the yah but, its marty-ball. When he was HC of the KC, they would dominate the regular season and just fizzle out in the playoffs. For his sake, I hope history does not repeat

"cowgirls go out and get their butts kicked by the Saints"

It'll be interesting to see how the Giants do against the Saints in a couple weeks

Andy...stick that fork somewhere else will ya....:wink: Every game now is critical. They need to win at Philly, then worry about the Saints.

 

[thetrailboss]

Giants win. Still in it.....

Some nice interceptions. Felt good to see the G-men making those plays.

Believe me, I'm as big a Giant fan as any of you. But let's face facts, they're not gonna win the big one this year. Unless something changes, this is the last year for Tiki. He's a big part of the team's success. My feeling is that they should be working on his replacement.
