Could we maybe just maybe be the 2011 Giants?

So I was looking at the 2011 Giants season when they went 9-7 and won it all, I know I know, every single year there is one below average team who thinks they can be the 2011 Giants, but hear me out.

2011 Giants- Beat only one, yes just one team with a winning record all season, the Patriots.

2019 Panthers- Beat one, just one winning team so far, the Texans.

2011 Giants- 8 of their remaining wins came against bad teams that all had a losing record that year.

2019 Panthers- so far all the rest of Panther wins this year have been against bad teams with a losing record so far.

2011 Giants- Have one game where they get blown out and lose 49-24 against the Saints.

2019 Panthers- Had a blowout loss against the 49ers.

oh and FWIW Giants lose to the 15-1 Packers that year during the regular season only to come back and beat them in the playoffs that year. 

Bottom line is this, do NOT count us out yet. If Kyle Allen’s light switch goes on at just the perfect time and we get hot at just the right time, just like the Giants did, then watch out.

11-5 might not get us in with tie breakers. There’s several teams ahead of us.

if we won out at 12-4 then we would get in, mostly because we would probably tie the Saints and be the division winner.

This isn’t a 12-4 team.

maybe 8-8 or 9-7 team.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
