November 14, 200619 yr We shall see. I just don't see any way this team makes it to the NFC title game, let alone the Super Bowl. For what its worth that handoff hit Tiki in the numbers, he grabbed at it and dropped it. Even the announcers commented that it seemed as though his hand was affecting his game. If they were wrong then it could only be his nerve--and I don't believe that. Of course that is about the only time Eli hit anyone with a Giants jersey in the numbers! :laugh: So funny of you to take shots at Eli. He made a few nice passes last night...yes he had a bad game...but happens, to every QB.
November 14, 200619 yr Just being blinded by those G-Men glasses. The Giants and Brandon Jacobs are okay, nothing more, nothing less. Please tell me who the Giants have lost to. Nevermind, I'll tell you. Undefeated Indianapolis 6-3 Seattle (at Seattle, with Hasslebeck and Alexander) 7-1 Chicago They have won games @ Philly @ Dallas vs Tampa vs Houston vs Washington They have the league's TOUGHEST schedule, and they have a ton of injuries. Please tell me what other team would be 6-3 in the Giants situation right now? They're OKAY? :lol: They're a good team, and a NFC championship contender...whether you like it or not.
November 14, 200619 yr What's more surprising? This quote: Or the one that follows: A great running back that only gets the ball 10 times a game? Must you take everything so literal? Maybe I should have said...he has GREAT POTENTIAL. That clear things up?

Since in the NFL you get no credit for losses, it stacks up like this. The Giants have beaten 3 teams with a winning record, all of them 5-4. The cumulative record of teams that they have beaten is 23-31. This is an average team. Anyone can play the elite teams and LOSE which is all the G-Men have done. Until they beat someone that matters they are a pretender in my book. When is their team coming back from injury? If it is in time then maybe I'll change my mind, right now they're only an average team--give me one number that proves otherwise.

So 3-0 in the division with 2 wins coming @ philly, and @ Dallas mean nothing. League's leading rusher means nothing. 6-3, and they're average? I would consider a .500 record average...not 6-3 and 1st place in their division. I feel like the Giants are as good or better than any team in the NFC east, the NFC south, the NFC west and the NFC north. Please show me one team that the Giants have no chance at beating...you can't do it. The Giants could play with any team in the league, and beat any team in the league on any given sunday.
November 14, 200619 yr Just for fun, here's the Giants team rankings compared to other teams: Total Offense - 7th (NFC), 10th (NFL) Scoring Offense - 4th (NFC) 9th (NFL) Total Defense - 4th (NFC) 10th (NFL) Scoring Defense - 6th (NFC) 15th (NFL) They have compiled the league's 10th best offense going up against the #1, #3, #12, #16, #17, #19, #26, and #27th ranked defenses. The defense has gone up against the #1, #2, #6, #9, #17, #23, #24, and the #30th ranked offenses.
November 14, 200619 yr So 3-0 in the division with 2 wins coming @ philly, and @ Dallas mean nothing. League's leading rusher means nothing. 6-3, and they're average?

Please show me one team that the Giants have no chance at beating...you can't do it. The Giants could play with any team in the league, and beat any team in the league on any given sunday. We can go back and forth about this all night. They are 3-0 in a mediocre division in the JV conference this year. They have beaten 3 teams with a winning record and ALL of those teams were only decent themselves with a 5-4 record. The Seahawks have the same record without Shaun Alexander and Hasselbeck. The Bears just took the Giants down by 18 at Giants Stadium. The Bears proved on the field they are better than the Giants and harp on injuries all you want but the Giants will not get 2 better players back than Hasselbeck and Alexander. I tell you what, I'm done with this for tonight but when the Giants make the NFC title game call me out--I'll be sure to do it to you if they don't. I'm sure I'll be starting a thread here in about 8 weeks, I know you love your G-Men, they just aren't that good this year.

I'm sure I'll be starting a thread here in about 8 weeks, I know you love your G-Men, they just aren't that good this year. Seattle has been without Alexander and Hasslebeck...for what, the last 2 or 3 games? They are 2-1 in that span with one win coming VS OAKLAND! :lol: Bad argument. If you think injuries havn't hurt the giants, and didnt hurt them last night...you obviously dont know much about football. Id like to see any other team play well missing 2 starting OLB's, the #1 backup OLB, 2 starting DE's , the #1 backup DE, the #1 corner, the #2 WR and the starting LT.
November 14, 200619 yr You are going to call me out if the Giants dont make the NFC title game? Did I gurantee that they would? No, I said they have the talent to, and they are good enough to. BTW, I'd like to think the NFC East is a little better than "mediocre". There are only 3 divisions in the NFL right now with more than 2 teams over .500. The NFC East, the AFC West, and the NFC South.
November 14, 200619 yr I'm sure I'll be starting a thread here in about 8 weeks, I know you love your G-Men, they just aren't that good this year. :laugh: I'm starting to think you havn't watched a single game the Giants have played, aside from maybe the Bears game last night. I hope you aren't basing your opinion of the Giants on that. :lol: I've seen every game, and every play thus far this season. I'll take my chances, and say they'll make the playoffs. Considering the majority of the teams in the NFL don't make the playoffs...that must mean they are....good? :scared:

Actually Alexander, the single season touchdown leader which trumps anyone the Giants might be missing, has missed 6 games. Hasselbeck has missed 3 1/2 games. Your on record saying that your team is missing 7 starters on both sides of the ball. Would you care to trade your LB's DE's etc with the Seahawks and have to miss that many games with Barber and Manning and compare records. I didn't think so, sit Barber and Manning out the next few games and see how many you win. Neither player is as good as Alexander or Hasselbeck.
