Was it a Positive that we lost to the Giants?

[SteveSmithOwns]

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

I drove 13 hours in a blizzard to sit at that game and be pelted with iceballs, I would love to know there is a "positive" there somehow. Those fans were buttholes.

If we win and the Giants lose, we'll have our answer.

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).

Home games.......no matter who you play. JMO....I don't believe in the good loss thing.

I've been doing my voodoo curse on the Giants ever since that game... They're goin down, and then, McNabb and co. can come here and get biatch slapped. (Just my personal future prediction:D)

[photoguync]

Oh, so I guess that would mean losing was..er..not fatal:puke:

[Darth Biscuit]

I don't know that it was a positive, but it didn't really hurt us, especially since we beat (barely) NO in that last game. I think it did show us that we can compete with them even at their place.

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.

[cardsfanmd]

I say yes. Playing them again I think your guys would feel like they have more to prove, while the Giants may be a bit complacent.

[pantherclaw]

The game was a positive, in the fact that we took them into overtime with only half a defensive line.

[Kyle82]

I think so even I didn't at the time...the Giants got the #1 seed and now have to play a division rival whom are familiar foes....let them bang each other up again

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:
