How would the New York Giants have done if wide receiver Plaxico Burress didn't Cheddar Bob himself?

That question has been debated over and over again, picked apart from every angle and has seen opinions come in from all over the country. No one has been immune to pondering it at least once, including soon-to-be free agent running back Brandon Jacobs.

"If we have Plax on our team, we go 15-1 and we win the Super Bowl," Jacobs said yesterday. "I'm not afraid to say that and I'll say it to anybody on any team."

I'm not sure the Giants would have gone 15-1, but I am rather confident that they would have repeated as Super Bowl champions. After all, they did beat both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals earlier this season, as well as the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles.

Unfortunately, the bottom line is that they didn't go 15-1 and won't win the Super Bowl. They were unable to adapt without their star wideout, and younger players were unable to step up. Their offense became simple and easy to gameplan for, while the stress of being without No.1 17 just wore them down.

So how will the Giants fare if he's not with the team next year? Well, most fans and nearly all of the players are not interested in finding out.

"No question, if I'm there I need 17 back on that roster," Jacobs added.

Regardless of who's in blue next year, they're all going to need 17 back. If not, this potential dynasty could turn into nothing more than an extremely entertaining hiccup that ended abruptly with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Not so fun when the shoe's on the other foot, is it, Giants?

The same applies here whether the haters choose to believe it or not. Take away TO without adding equal or greater value and this is a 5-11 team next year.

15-1 Even though i'm a die hard cowboys fan I can see that happening














maybe in the cfl hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah :laugh2:

Giants can still talk since they've recently won something and we've not won crap this decade.

So Jacobs is essentially admitting that Plax's criminal behavior cost them the SB. Ok, fair enough, but how come that was LESS news worthy than Garrett and the WRs having a meeting? Both happened around the same time.

Yeah that sounds like he's making an excuse to me and he doesn't realize it.:laugh2:

 

[Marktui]

LOL, well if we would have beaten the Cardinals, Steelers or the Ravens we would have been in the playoffs and playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Now look who is running his mouth. Jacobs better not get too cocky and try and break the bank, cause even though he is a good back, he will never be considered a Great Running back. Sure he can run people over, but at 260 lbs, he should be running people over. But big backs like him don't last too long cause of the punishment they take, Earl Campbell, Eddie George, (cant remember his name) The Nigerian Nightmare....

 

[Future]

Hard to argue with him...Plax makes everyone on that offense better, including Jacobs. It will be interesting to see the response when the Gints bring him back next year.

I would bet money on it we would do better than 5-11.

We barely used not only TO but any of our WR's this year and managed to go 9-7.

TO is a heck of a player but if he was this valuable we'd already have some hardware.

Romo is the only guy we can't afford to lose that would effect us in a major way in the W/L column.

Hey. Injuries are a real possibility for every athlete at any given time. Maybe it'll happen to Owens before the season begins or during week one. Perhaps we will see if your assumption does come true.

and if Romo & Owens were anywhere near 100% last yr, they'd have got their arses kicked out of the playoffs and never won that super bowl, let alone have gotten there
