to beat them in the playoffs. It's like they're forgetting how much people doubted them last year.

Honestly, it's like they don't think any teams out there can beat them when you read some of their threads.

Giants fan here (Dont hurt me)...

I think the general concensus from Giants country is that our two teams are pretty evenly matched and play the same type of game. I dont really think there are that many giants fans except for the extreme few who think we are unbeatable...

Anybody who thinks the Giants are unbeatable needs to realize that without a run game you are nothing, and that has been exposed in the past couple weeks.

Giants won in overtime only because mother nature decided that she wanted to watch the game longer. We had you guys almost beat in the last mins of the game. If we didnt have the it factor it would never have been a game. GiantDefense thank you for having some sense

You could say the same for every other team in the NFL in terms of running the football. There are not many teams that are going to win games in January without running the football successfully...

As far as a few of you saying we think we are unbeatable that simply is not true. There are a few giants fans (like in all fan bases) that say we are unbeatable and are going to win every game from now until the superbowl by 2 touchdowns or more but that simply is not true for the fan base as a whole. I do however think we are the team to beat heading into the playoffs.

On the same note, I gave Casey's kick 50/50 based on what Ive seen at the Meodowlands over the years and lucky for us we came up on the good end of it this time around. Two yards more to the right and I think the Panthers are the team to beat going into the playoffs.

Hopefully we get to play one more game and see who really is the better team when the "it" factor comes into play.

I have been talking to Giants fans now ever since I was on my way home from watching the game at a friends, until last night.

All I get from them is "Panthers fans gotta get over it, you can't beat the Gmen"

Tho, one said he was afraid, and doesn't wanna rematch, the rest of them are just very strong is state'n they don't think the Panthers are good enough to even get to a rematch.

I give the Giants credit. They did what they did... and luck on all sides played a factor... bouncing muffed punts, Rookie's knock'n down INT's at the Giants 30, the Kick that went wide with 4 seconds to go.

The Panthers got lucky with a few missed INT's the Giants D could have had, knock'n the ball out at the 1 yard line.

Tuck was Sick, Maake was out... we can get that list going too...

Bottom line is, it came down to who got lucky enough to get "the break", and the Giants got it.

I currently am hope'n for a rematch... but we need to get there first. but... so do they!

a win on Sunday gives the Panthers #2, and then whyo knows... the Giants could lose in their first game and the NFCCG could still be here (if I recall)

But, either way... That game itself (if/when it happens) could very well be better than the superbowl itself.

We'll just have to way an see, and see who does "it".

We can't just blame it on bad luck my friend. The Giants won in OT because we let them stick around by only scoring 7 points in the second half of the game.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
