Reason to root for the Giants

[pugilist]

If i thought there wouldn't be some BS game changing call against us I'd agree..I'd just assume not to play them

i really think the cold adversely effected the offense in the last matchup

cut out the penalties, play in a comfortable climate, and now that the defense is coming on... I really like our chances in a 3rd match up

the refs are always gonna ref though, it's inevitable.. just have to hope and pray in regards to getting screwed

We need to secure HFA and them losing helps that goal.

Dungy says we have no HFA.

 

[Bowdown27]

Naw, I'm still going to root against them.

Can't root for them ever. Not even if there's a fire.

Or with a Giants loss to the Eagles Thursday. I don't think it's a given the Giants beat the Eagles in Philly. Eagles win, and we're No. 1 seed and the Lions and Eagles games become meaningless for us in terms of playoff seeding.

I feel good about the Giants losing at least one of the last two although I think we handle business vs Detroit. At Commanders will be a tough game. The skins seem to have their number.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Dungy says we have no HFA.

6-1

 

[DallasEast]

Rooting is good for the mind and spirit. It has no real world application.

The Dallas Cowboys are my team. Rooting for the Cowboys fuels my soul.

To be honest, I do root for all non-Cowboys games end in ties. Does that count?

Dungy says we have no HFA.

Tell dungy we have had a pretty good advantage for 6 straight games

 

[WillieBeamen]

We need them to lose this week. If they lose:

1. We clinch the division and HFA before even playing Monday

2. They would have something to play for week 17 @ Washington. That could be an elimination game for both teams

3. Dont want eagles to get higher picks


If Giants lose out AND Commanders and Buccs win out, Giants miss the playoffs...

 

[BlueStar22]

I want the Giants...we can beat them.

 

[Denim Chicken]

If the season ended today... I'll take Falcons over Skins and Detroit over NYG in Wildcard round.

Divisional round:
Cowboys vs Lions
Seattle vs ATL

I'll TAKE that scenerio anyday of the week... Dallas vs Seattle NFC Championship game @ AT&T for all the marbles!

Why is 7-5-1 better than 8-6?

 

[JBS]

3 would play 6; 4 would play 5. If 3 wins, and Giants win, we play Giants 2nd round.

not if 6 beats 3

 

[guag]

NEVER root for a rival unless they are eliminated and can help us in some way.

Exactly. Case in point: Philly this week

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Nope for me the Giants need to lose.

 

[vicjagger]

Why is 7-5-1 better than 8-6?

It isn't. 0.538 vs. 0.571

 

[Titleist]

If the season ended today... I'll take Falcons over Skins and Detroit over NYG in Wildcard round.

Divisional round:
Cowboys vs Lions
Seattle vs ATL

I'll TAKE that scenerio anyday of the week... Dallas vs Seattle NFC Championship game @ AT&T for all the marbles!

I don't see any way the Lions make the playoffs. They finish the season against us and GB.

GB is gonna take the North

 

[lostar2009]

Nope bring on the Giants. I want them in the 2nd round then jump off their back to a sb championship.

 

[Risen Star]

Naw, I'm still going to root against them.

Good because the OP is incorrect. If the Giants and Commanders both get wild card spots and they don't both lose that game the Cowboys will play one of those teams.

 

[Cowboy89]

The Giants would be going to Green Bay or Detroit...Washington to Atlanta. Giants look like 5 seed...the only way they are sixth is to finish behind Washington, which ain't happening. Best chances are for Giants/Packers/Detroit divisional opponent, unless Commanders upset Atlanta at home...then you get another go at Cousins and company.

Giants are a threat regardless. They've beaten the Packers twice in GB and I'd favor them against Detroit.

 

[lukin2006]

It doesn't matter who we play in the playoffs as long as we secure HFA, Dak and this offence is better at home, and the defence is playing some really good ball, "not the bend but don't break variety"...

 

[Shuff]

The Giants will not beat us 3 straight, will not happen.
