Was it a Positive that we lost to the Giants?

Looking back at it, I really think losing to the Giants helped us out. First, we won't have to play Philadelphia, who I believe is world's better and more dangerous than Arizona. it also makes Philly play New York in a matchup that will take alot out of both teams. Also, since we did lose, we will have more motivation going in if the Giants were to win their game than before. Oh, and we already know what happens when we lose to a team in the regular season and then face them again in the playoffs. So I guess what i'm asking is, now that you have seen the consequences of losing, which side would you pick right now?

Losing- (Playing the Cards, and if the Giants win, going into New York)

Winning- (Playing the Eagles, and if we win, we keep homefield)

with all considered, i'm gonna have to pick losing

Of course, we would have rather won against New York. For starters, we are a much MUCH better team at home than on the road. I would take Philly here this week, in a heartbeat, because even if we beat Arizona on Saturday we still have to play the championship game outside of Charlotte which isn't in our best interest. I'd rather go in, knowing that we have every game in Charlotte, even if the matchups, on paper, don't favor us because I have more confidence in us at home, than I do on the road --- even playing less than stellar teams (let alone a good team).

I don't believe there is any such thing as a good loss. But, with all things considered, I am very happy playing the cards this weekend.

Most of you should also know that beating a team twice in only a few weeks is a very hard thing to do in the NFL. Once we take care of business slapping the cards around this weekend, I don't have any problem going back to the Meadowlands for a rematch. I know the team believes they let a win get away with a missed field goal and that will definitely be added motivation.

So, a good loss? No. But a situation to complain about? Not at all.

I agree with the Philly comment. That's the one team I didn't want to play. It's all about getting hot going into the playoffs, and that's what they are. We, on the other hand, had a bye and barely pulled one out against the Saints. Just sayin.

'Barely' pulled one out against the #1 rated offense without our 2 starting defensive tackles....just sayin':cool:

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
