Some Giants fans saying we don't have the "it" factor

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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
