Giants & Jets thread

[realtick]

Coaches punt the ball in that situation because they are supposed to, not because it makes sense. I've watched and played a lot of football over the last 20 years and in all that time have seen a QB sneak fail with that little to gain only once, and it was on a fumbled snap. The odds of getting the first down there are statistically better than punting and stopping the other team.

Provide the stats.

I'm rooting for the Giants. Because I'm a coward and just want the Eagles out of it.

I think that the Jets winning and our team having the chance to knock the Eagles out of it while winning the East is better

The Giants winning does not help us in any way

It helps a Cowboys fan living in Philly.

Nearly an INT.....argh!

Hmm so you don't want the Cowboys to have a chance to win the East today

Giants have more weapons on offense that the Jets.

 

[Hoofbite]

Nicks is so good.

He is very good but has been dropping a few lately.

Cruz > Nicks

I disagree.

 

[SDCowboy]

Eli is still the luckiest QB in the league. He should have been picked off three or four times already.

 

[Sarge]

Cruz > Nicks

No way.

Overrated Jets secondary

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Giants about to Tie it up

 

[Jimz31]

ANOTHER dropped pass....Isn't that like 3 right now? But both teams are struggling in the passing game going that way due to the sun.

Provide the stats.

Numerous studies by renowned mathematicians and football experts over the years have shown that the statistics ALWAYS favor going for it on fourth and less than one from anywhere on the field and usually going for it on fourth and ten or less.

For example...

This is one from 2009. The common theme is always that coaches fear losses more than they anticipate gains, so they make the illogical decision to punt on fourth down many times.

You'd only post this if you didn't understand the playoff situation.


If the Jets win and the Cowboys beat Philly, we win the division tonight.



If the Giants win, it will be a winner-take-all game at the Meadowlands in Week 17 even if we beat Philly. You'd seriously prefer that!??

 

[Doomsday]

Jets have two strong coverage corners, rush 3 and still have no one in the middle of the field on third down.

Cruz < Nicks
