Who to Root for? NYG/PHI

[Clarkson]

So, it probably benefits us most immediately if the Eagles win. However, I believe two things:
1. They are legitimately the better team. They'll be a bigger competitor down the line than the Giants
2. Getting the Giants off a win is better than getting them on a must-win game off a loss.

If the Giants lose, they drop to 2-4. If they lose to us, 2-5. The game against us becomes 100% must-win. How much of a difference does it make? I don't know, but it's something to consider.

 

[Garrettop]

I think Philly is the better and healthier team, so go Giants.

 

[jwitten82]

Rather the Giants lose, Dallas takes care of business then we re back to first place

 

[mickswag]

A tie.

 

[John813]

Tie. Hard to think of ever rooting for either team

The Giants are currently 3-2. So, if the lose they would be 3-3.
I will be rooting for a bunch of pulled hammies for both teams.

 

[Philmonroe]

Same team as last time this thread came around lol. The Eagles simple and plain.

 

[gmoney112]

That's a hard choice.

I'll probably go for the Eagles just because us beating the Giants will put us in first place. I also think the Eagles have some trouble looming on their schedule.

The only thing i'll be "rooting" for is a giant sinkhole in the middle of the field, although it's doubtful even that could fit Chip Kelly's inflated ego.

 

[Reality]

We have beaten both teams, so the best team to root for is the one with the worse record of the two, and that would be the Eagles.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

I am rooting for Philly because their record is worse, they are 0-2 in the Division and Dallas still plays them in Dallas.

I think the Eagles are on the verge of imploding. Giants fear me the most, minus Romo they have the QB in the East.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Simple: Eagles. If the Giants win they are gonna have control of the division at 4-2.
I'd like an Eagles win with Odell pulling a hammy ( out for 2-3 weeks) and Bradford gets a high ankle sprain from a sack out (4-6) weeks. That would be ideal. The injuries are not too serious.

Oh and FYI I know it's not politically correct to route/ wish for injuries on the opposing team, but I got to be honest. Everytime our Dline sacks a QB I yell " hurt that m*****fker" at the top of my lungs and pump my fist violently like 4-5 times while sitting by myself in front of the TV.

Giants fear you the most? Hopefully you will be playing next week.

This is a tough one. Eagles seems to have a bit easier schedule coming up than do the Giants. I will probably still go with the Eagles, as is keeps them both at 3-3, and we will need to beat them both and keep control of the division in a some form. Giants at 4-2, if they win and Eagles at 2-4, or both 3-3, but none of it matters much if we don't beat them both. though that won't keep us out of the race, but sure won't help much.

No matter what, I hope they get banged upped a lot, as I don't care anymore about the karma not wanting players injured. well, at least let them be hurting for the next 3 to 5 weeks. Screw them otherwise.

Yeah, I kept waiting for Hardy to knock Brady into the next county last Sunday. If he left the game, I was not going to have any sympathy either. Nor will I if Eli or Bradford leave in their game this week.

Yeah, I haven't seen any of those "I want to play them at full strength" quotes this year.

Root for both teams to destroy each other, and the Eagles win.

Rooting for lots of injuries that will be fully recovered from after the season is over. I prefer the iggles to win in a very ugly game that they can not be proud of.

In this game, if each team needs 9 body bags...it was a great game...
