Yeah, but expecting us to go 7-0 is ok because that is what we have typically done in the final 7 games? Lol
Fact is if we and the Giants do what we have typically done in the last 7 games from here on out, the Giants will make the playoffs and we won't
Like I said, please let the craziness stop
The Giants have typically gone 3-3 with 2007 and 2011 being aberrations. So if they make the playoffs, it will likely be at 8-8 or 9-7. Last year, Dallas went 6-1 in its final seven games.
You're living in a farther away past than those who believe there's a better chance of Dallas achieving 7-0 with Romo than the Giants going on a run.
Now, I'm realistic enough to know how difficult it will be for Dallas to go 7-0, so while I want that, I won't be surprised if it happens. I'm also realistic enough that the Giants haven't had a lot of success down the stretch in the past few years.
The only real craziness around here is believing that the Giants will go on some kind of playoff run while the Cowboys have no chance. It doesn't fit what they've most recently been. Both have made several changes this year, though, so who really knows how they'll play over the next few weeks.
We've got to see how much of a difference Romo can make and the Giants have to see if they can put together enough support for their passing game.
Just to clarify what the Giants typically have done in the last six games (since that's what they have left), here are their records in those games since 2007:
2007 4-2
2008 3-3
2009 2-4
2010 4-2
2011 3-3
2012 3-3
2013 3-3
2014 3-3
So typically, even in those Super Bowl seasons, they are average or barely above average. It makes me wonder why people even bring up those seasons since this one isn't like those where the Giants started out 7-3 (before going 3-3) and 6-2 (before going 3-5).
