I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

That about sums up the past two games for me. We've been on the wrong side of too many winnable games. Last night was basically a repeat of last years game vs. the Cowboys when they were tanking and the Giants just slept walked through the game and lost. (Right down to the back up QB starting for the opposing team, the Giants having won the previous game @ the other team and losing on their own home turf).

The injuries are starting to rear its head and it is showing.....without Bradshaw the run game is non existent.

Totally agree. Bradshaw was able to turn something into nothing and with this years poor run blocking that was so critical. At this point all Jacobs can do is gain the yardage thats blocked for him.

What I dont understand is why they refuse to give Da'Rell Scott at least a chance. I thought maybe when Ware got knocked out they'd give him a few carries but no. Its not like he's got to get 20-25 carries but is 5-7 really to hard to do? Our run blockings is shit, wouldn't you want to use the RB with the most explosiveness? And even if he doesnt do anything its not like it be any different than what they are already getting.

That Steve Smith touchdown had me SMH, it was the same play Vernon Davis scored on us the week before.

I'm not mad at all, realistically the Giants have overachieved all season long......we're 6-4 with a team full of backups, practice squad/role players who have been thrust into starting roles they have no business being in.....if you told me over the summer with all the injuries we had and all the players we lost via FA that we'd be 6-4 and tied with Dallas for the division lead with us still controlling our destiny after week 11.....I would've said sign me thee fuck up

Feel like barring an amazing undefeated run, they need to finish with 10 wins to give them the best and most realistic shot at making the playoffs.

Cowboys 7-4 (@ ARI, vs. NYG, @ TB, vs. PHI, @ NYG)
-They should be able to take the non division games pretty simply. Figure they are 9-4 pending the division match-ups.

Eagles 4-6 (vs. NE, @ SEA, @ MIA, vs. NYJ, @ DAL, vs. WAS)
-The only given loss has to be NE and they should be able to beat SEA and MIA although who the fuck knows. The Jets will be tough and they finish with a pair of division games. At best, I have them going 8-8 but 9 wins is not out of the question if they can beat Dallas.

Bears 7-3 (without Cutler) (@ OAK, vs. KC, @ DEN, vs. SEA, @ GB, @ MIN)
-Wildcard now that they're starting Caleb Hanie, even though Matt Forte is their offense. They should be able to win the games with KC and SEA, the other four being toss-ups (except the GB game). Unfortunately for the Giants, that means they are 9-4 with 3 games pending which means they have a leg up on one of the wild card spots.

Lions 7-4 (@ NO, vs. MIN, @ OAK, vs. SD, @ GB)
-They have struggled of late against top NFC teams and will Suh's absence really fuck up their defense? Figure they lose to NO and GB for arguments sake. They are 7-6 with the MIN, OAK and SD games in play. Realistically, the best option for them is sweeping those and winning 10, more realistic is finishing with 9 wins.

Saints 7-3 (vs. NYG, vs. DET, @ TEN, @ MIN, vs. ATL, vs. CAR)
-Playing for a division, may come down to week 16. They should easily carve up some opponents and figure they beat NYG, DET, TEN, MIN and CAR, maybe losing one. The toss-up is the ATL game. So lets give them 2 losses the rest of the way on the safe side, they will finish 11-5, give or take a win.

Falcons 6-4 (vs. MIN, @ HOU, @ CAR, vs. JAX, @ NO, vs. TB)
-Since October, they have only lost to GB and NO, beating up on subpar teams plus Detroit. They rematch Carolina, NO and will look to avenge an earlier loss to Tampa. Houston is the wildcard pending Leinart's play. Figure they beat MIN, CAR, JAX and Tampa with the Saints game as a toss-up. They should be able to finish 11-5 or 10-6 at worst.

I have the wild card picture looking like:

Dallas at worst are 9-7 and at best 10-6
Philly 8-8
Bears 10-6 at worst, 11-5 is realistic
Lions 9-7 possibly as high as 10-6
Saints as good as 12-4, as low as 10-6-----in play for south division
Falcons 10-6 or 11-5 ------in play for south division




The Giants are 6-4 with games @ NO, vs. GB, @ DAL, vs. WAS, @ NYJ, vs. DAL.

Unless they can upset either the Saints or Packers, they MUST sweep Dallas. Doing so would likely create a 10-6 tie and the division winner may be the only one that makes it based on tiebreakers.

If they split with Dallas and cannot upset NO or GB, the best they can finish is 9-7 and it won't be good enough.

I'm rooting for you guys. A Giants win gives us the #3 seed for the week.

[EmpireWF]

Saw a stat last night where Brees is undefeated against the Giants with something like 7 TDs and 0 picks.

They need to sell out and blitz the fuck out of him. Plus, the corners have to be physical with their receivers.

Deon Grant is likely to be shadowing Jimmy Graham...but great TEs fuck the Giants up.

Extremely excited for tonight's game. Really see us coming out tough and ready to play ESPECIALLY offensively after last week's dud. The only thing that worries me is just how amped those Saints can get on primetime in that Dome, but maybe being on the road is good for us. Battle between two inconsistent teams with us being more inconsistent. But, if we play up to our potential we can definitely get a W down there.

[EmpireWF]

Chad Jones will run onto the field with the team tonight.

Jones with Mara...

[jeffx]

Giants will be 6-6 going into the Cowboy game.

[EmpireWF]

Damn, Manningham is inactive.

Why the hell was Jacobs celebrating after scoring? Look at the score asshole it still said Saints 21, Giants 10

Eli Manning deserves better than this

This happened right next to me at the stadium. There was a fan that threw a beer onto the field near the giants and talking shit to Jacobs on the first row. (He got kicked out)
