Don't Count on a Giants win Sunday

[DallasInDC]

The Giants have placed running back Brandon Jacobs and defensive back Aaron Ross on injured reserve. Why put starters on IR for the last game of the season unless they are giving up.

Bradshaw > Jacobs, and Ross has been invisible.

 

[NeonNinja]

Losing Jacobs doesn't hurt their chances, it increases them.

Because they are hurt and can't play.

 

[TheSport78]

Bradshaw didn't practice today either. He's pretty questionable from what I've read.

 

[Ren]

Has Ross even played this season?

jacobs not playing? lol yeah that will hurt their chances :laugh2:

 

[Tom [Giants fan]]

Bradshaw may see 5 snaps if that. Gartrell Johnson I believe it is will carry the load. This injury report does not look like a team that is going to give a good effort.

Maybe so you can sign two more players and hold their rights over the offseason and get a look at them in camp.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Who cares... Minnesota would have beat them regardless. Dallas just needs to focus on beating the Eagirls.

 

[arglebargle]

This allows them to bring a couple of guys up from the practice squad that they would really rather keep for next year. It gets them signed to a regular contract before the end of the season.

Here's the Vikings injury report:

Frampton, Eric S Ankle LP LP FP probable
Hutchinson, Steve G Shoulder LP LP LP probable
Kennedy, Jimmy DT Thumb DNP DNP DNP doubtful
Shiancoe, Visanthe TE Thigh DNP LP LP questionable
Sullivan, John C Knee LP LP FP probable
Williams, Pat DT Elbow LP LP LP questionable
Winfield, Antoine CB Foot LP LP LP probable

Jacobs had 6 carries for 1 yd against Carolina.

 

[links18]

The Giants have quit. Even if they hadn't, they weren't going to beat the Vikings in the dome with the Vikings having a bye on the line. Not gonna happen. Then again, I didn't think the Bears had a chance to beat them either. : :

I don't think the Giants are going to go all out to win a game on the last week of the season a week after being eliminated - and one that would help the Cowboys.

Face it, if the Vikings win, then a win by the Cowboys and we face the Eagles again next week. Not good.

because if they cant play and its the last game, they may as well fill the roster spots

I'm kind of thinking Minny wants to win to "right the ship" before the playoffs and secure that #2 seed so they do win regardless also.

key factors......the Giants were humiliated at home finale....they got Coaches on hot seat........they got pride on the line........the players dont have the mindset of throwing games to screw over other teams......some of the players on the Giants are friends with players from rivals its not as personal between them as it is with fans.....I think they will play to win

 

[Cowboy Brian]

I believe the Giants will lose.

I am so sick of people saying this. Why is it not good? So are you saying we have no chance of beating them again. Do you not have any confidence at all. Why are people so scared of playing the Eagles back to back. I am not and haven't been.

Sorry, but it will be tough to beat a team three times in a year and twice it two weeks. It doesn't matter if it's the Eagles, Packers, Cardinals, Vikings or any other playoff caliber team.

And it also doesn't matter if you or me are or aren't afraid, since we'll have no impact in the outcome.
