Screw clinching, I want the Giants to lose. Yeah, it sounds stupid, but I do think we can get that homefield advantage.

Not stupid. Stupid is wanting the Giants and Bucs to win, and wanting a dangerous Saints game to actually matter.

Clinching a playoff birth would be nice, but we want home field because ultimately we want the only thing that really matters, the Lombardi Trophy. Having home field increases the chances TREMENDOUSLY of reaching the real goal, and is worth putting off clinching a playoff birth for another week.

7-0 at home, man. It's not by accident.

Thing is that we can clinch homefield advantage even if the Giants win.

A Dallas loss and Denver win at least clinches a playoff spot...first step.

We can then take care of the Giants next week for homefield advantage...second step.

Bucs are going down to Atlanta, so they will both be 2 games back.

It doesn't really matter if the giants win this weekend or not. If we lose to them they will hold the tie breaker at an even record. We still have to beat them unless they lose 2 out of the next 3.

If we lose this weekend the giants need to lose as well however.

If the Giants win this weekend, even if we beat them next weekend we will NOT clinch home field. We would also have to beat the Saints OR have the Giants lose to the Vikings. Sooo...Go Cowboys, until the Ravens and/or Eagles put you out of your misery after that.

Why would people not want a game to matter? I expect the last game or the season to mean something, and it will.

And I'll be there to see it! lol

By that analogy, then why even try and win every game then? Let's make it as suspenseful as possible. Maybe that's why we tanked our 3 losses this year. Let's not even try to put a team away and let them hang around until 2 minutes left in the game, as much drama as possible.

GET FREAKIN REAL! We want the Lombardi here and THAT'S all that matters, not your satisfaction at the Saints game. If we do have to win it, then be loud, but hopefully we do not, so try to enjoy the game anyway.

Why want to be forced to win a tough, dangerous game in the Superdome AFTER beating the Packers, Bucs, Broncos, and Giants? You've got to be kidding me dude. :out: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Here is the best of scenarios:

1. New Orleans loses....love to have the Taints eliminated once again.....CHECK

2. Atlanta beats TB....both are 2 games back and Carolina clinches at least a WC Spot

3. Dallas beats NY Giants....both us and Giants have 3 losses

4. We beat NY Giants next week...we lock up the #1 seed

If this plays out, Week 17 against the Saints is an absolutely meaningless game. Even if we lose and both the Giants and TB win in Week 17, we still win division by 1 game....and Carolina and NY both end up 12-4 with Carolina owning the tiebreaker.

      REPORT: RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) may not be ready for the start of training camp.

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      Insanity is doing the same thing over and over the same way expecting different results. So just because all of the previous GMs and coaches were fired instantaneously, Morgan and Canales shouldn't try to build for the future? That is about as asinine a thought as a fan would have. Is it not your hope that Tepper will let this GM build a team and not lose his mind during the long needed rebuild? We all hope this team can compete this year, but do you expect a deep playoff run? We still have Sanders and Chuba, so drafting a back who will be better than both of them and sitting him is fine. Lastly,  not only is reading fundamental, so is comprehension. I was talking about the dichotomus devaluing of the running back position by the masses while also knowing they are still very valuable in building a potent offense. Nobody was comparing him to the RB gawd CMC! Still a little funny he is continuing to get paid handsomely when other RBs are being devalued, but that's neither here nor there. I'm just glad all of those injury issues he had here have seemingly cleared up almost completely.

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      From the national perspective it appears that way.  Feel free to disagree but the from the unbiased view points this year probably will be ugly again.  From the Athletic: Carolina Panthers Under 5.5 (-105) Everybody loves guards. Who knew? The Panthers spent $150 million on guards Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis, and people are pounding the over, betting this number up from 4.5. While Bryce Young will take less than the 62 sacks he was hit with last season, and Diontae Johnson should prove to be a reliable target, I don’t know if I see three more wins than last season. I didn’t love the draft haul, there will be some growing pains for new coach Dave Canales, and Brian Burns was a big loss on defense.
