In an article naming the good/bad for the Giants...here's what popped up to me....

3. Panthers-Giants, Part II: It already seems like we'll have a rematch of this contest in the NFC Championship Game. Despite all the gaudy numbers compiled by the Giants' running attack in this victory, the Panthers still could have won the game if John Kasay hadn't missed a 50-yard field goal at the end of regulation. That's something the Giants shouldn't forget in celebrating this victory. The Panthers basically play the same brand of football as the Giants -- a strong run game, play-action passing, tough defense and solid special teams -- and they won't be daunted by a return to Giants Stadium for a shot at the Super Bowl. If anything, they'll relish the chance to play the same underdog role that helped the Giants land the Lombardi Trophy last year.

If these two meet again, the Panthers win.

I think we all need a :grouphug:

...hey we could be like the Bucs or Jets and loss to shitty teams in crucial times...so....we're still 11-4....GO PANTHERS!!!

Thats the key right there. We still could have won that game at the end even giving up as many rushing yards as we did. We had an average rushing game (for us), an average passing game, and a bad defensive game without Kemo (and for a while Damione Lewis). I really hope we get another shot at those guys because next time I think we win. We still haven't seen the playoff caliber Steve Smith or the playcalling to get it in his hands as much as we need to. I'm not worried about going back to the meadowlands.

That game against Minnesota was a series of turnovers in Atlanta's favor (assuming you're judging the best in the south by the latest performances). Fortunately, Williams doesn't fumble.

i'm starting to see a favre like quality in AP. how many turnovers did he have? i lost count.

      Alejandro Avila: Are We Really About To Hand Offensive Rookie Of The Year To An 'Okay' Receiver?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down.

      We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.

      Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
