anyone see any confirmation that he is playing? other than him telling the media that he is. Observer lists him as questionable - probably a game time decision. If that is the case, and he is questionable on Friday/Saturday, then you gotta wonder IF he can make the cuts on his sore knee and just how effective he will be.

Go PANTHERS!

Him playing makes them a better team, (obviously) but I think we can handle him just like we have other elite running backs this year. With him in there, even if he's not 100% helps little Eli out immensely. He's kinda like Jake in the fact he needs the play action to be most effective.

Torn PCL?

quote from Dec 13th prior to Cowboys game from Giants.com

''Both Jacobs and coach Tom Coughlin have been vague on exactly what the problem is, Multiple sources yesterday said that Jacobs has a very lightly damaged posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. It is not expected that he will require offseason surgery; however, the Giants are doing everything possible to make sure the injury doesn't get worse. Thus, the cautious approach for Dallas Week.''

A person close to Jacobs said, "The knee is sore but the injury is not that serious, and Jacobs should be fine when they need him this season."

I think if Jacobs plays it will be mainly for emotional reasons. If he is there it will be an emotional lift for the Giants. I believe he could get 10 carries but probably less. Cause the Giants are not dumb, they know they can go on the road and win the Super Bowl.

Put it this way, if they risk hurting Jacobs for the playoffs they would be stupid. They have a better chance of winning the Super Bowl with a healthy Brandon Jacobs on the road, then they do with a hurt Jacobs at home.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.

      Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
