Just a little something to remember. It is conceivable that we could get a similar result this Sunday!

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Reuters) - The Carolina Panthers used a crushing defense and a rugged running game to rout the New York Giants 23-0 in a NFC wild card game on Sunday.

Dominating both sides of the ball, Carolina controlled the clock for nearly 43 minutes and got a pair of touchdowns from receiver Steve Smith.

I remember those days well. Leading up to that game I frequented one of the Giants' message boards and they were cocky as hell. They gave us ZERO respect before that game (the fans). Fast forward to today and that same Giants message board aren't being nearly as dismissive of our team as they were then.

i have little reason to believe we can't come out with the same results.

they have a better team than they had then but we are much better than then as well.

our team is hungry and has an insatiable appetite. their team is hungry because it is starving to death. survival of the fittest. it doesn't matter how desperate a starving animal is if they are in a life or death struggle with a much healthier carnivore who is just as hungry. the stronger one will prevail.

We should be as humble right now.

Agreed.

I worked with a humble Giants fan. I remember going up to him after last year's Superbowl and telling him how proud and excited I was of the Giants for beating the unbeaten Patriots*** in the Superbowl.

He works for another company now and I ran into him Tuesday. He said this was the first time he was every pulling for the Giants to lose. He wants the NFC game in Charlotte in hopes he can get tickets and watch the Giants come here and win it.

He said he has a lot of friends that would come down from NY to try to get tickets for the game.

And he said it would be hard for many teams to beat the Giants twice, once in a late regular season game, and then beat them again in the playoffs.

I agreed.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
