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.

      Give Legette another season?

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.

      Nah we just talking about giving a platform and normalizing predators (who both beat women) opinions and celebrating it if it fits your narrative.  If that's fun I'm fine being a miserable fug by not supporting P.O.S like that. N b4 you call me a libtard or some other dumb ish know I'm an Anarchist/Libertarian and believe both these dudes should get a complete ass whooping (at min) or something worse for what they have done to women in this world.
