think about it..

if they win/lose .. if we win/lose ... this sunday .. it doesnt matter to them.. they already have clinched their division ..

the game 12/21 vs Carolina is the game of the year for them..!

they need to win regardless of what happens this week in order to get homefield advantage...

that's why i don't see jacobs playing this week... they're going to rest him so he will be fresh playing us...

not saying the game vs dallas is irrelevent.. but i can definitely see them focusing on carolina more....

all they have to do is beat carolina and the rest of the games remaining mean nothing... it will guarantee them a first round bye and home-field advantage throughout... even if they lose the other 2...

too bad we're going to kick their a**!

1) they want to have homefield advantage

and the bigger one....

2) they don't want carolina to have homefield advantage.

they have to win out to keep that from happening.

exactly... but the point of the thread is that..

no matter if they win or lose the remaining games scheduled... all they have to do is beat carolina next week and they get that....

Not necessarily true. That assumes that we win as well. If they win and we don't this week, then next weeks game is irrelevant and they win homefield even if we beat them as long as they win their last game.

On the other hand if we lose one, the Giants lose 2 and Tampa wins out, with the various tiebreakers Tampa could still win.

So each team needs to win to assure homefield advantage although the Giants have the inside track.

i was looking at the playoff scenario generator and i think you are right.

everything hinges on the game next week. crazy. they could lose 2 games and win against us and no matter how we do those other two weeks they will be playing in NY the rest of the playoffs.

crazy.

They're playing an arch rival. If you don't think they'll be up for that, turn in your Fan Card.
i do think they won't be blowing it off. they need a win after last week and they sure don't want to lose to the cowboys.

other than to the morale of the team, though, this game doesn't carry a lot of weight.....not as far as the playoffs are concerned.

we, on the other hand, can not afford to take any game lightly. keep the games at home. that's what it's all about.

If we win two and they win one, we'll both be 12-4. Won't we have the tie breaker if we beat them hesd to head?

To break a tie within a division — two clubs:

  1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied precentage in games between the clubs).

Or they could win two, we lose two beating them and they finish 13-3, us 11-5. We beating them means nothing.

Dallas is a huge game for them.

I disagree. The Giants would love to keep momentum up going to the playoffs as well as trying to keep the spot ahead of us. To think the Giants will be sitting players or not playing hard is absurd. They went balls to the wall in the last game vs Patriots last year when the playoff position was already set. Tom Coughlin is not that type of coach.

About the first part, even if they win and we lose this week, it would still be possible to get the #1 seed, both finishing 12-4 and we holding the H2H tiebreaker, right?

Good point about TB, not sure why everyone is forgetting them, if they can win in Atl this week, its a 3 team race for the #1 seed. They could easily finish 12-4 as well. It blows my mind that people can seriously think the #1 seeded team in the conference can be playing a meaningless game with 3 weeks to go and two teams 2 or less games behind them.

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I dont think people realize how hard it is to find a consistent starting QB in the NFL. Byrce will not heart us to a SB but I do think he can manage to get us one or close..go all in on defense and change the Offensive passing game and play calls. I really think our biggest problem is our HC.  Take New Orleans QB for example, switch him and Bryce and I promise you it'll look similar or worse. New Orleans OC is levels ahead of Canales. And as far as the draft goes, in this division with as much rb talent as we face ..the answer...this guy:    Pick up a couple edge rushers in FA along with a corner and plug this guy in Rozeboom's spot. Defense solved. But only if we get a top tier rusher on that dline....jus saying

      World cup ticket prices

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      I think I'm going to the game in Los Angeles vs Paraguay, and the England / Croatia game here in Dallas since my mom is British.  For decent seats anywhere in the building(s) it looks like it will be upwards of $7k for the two games.  Insane. Just for perspective, you could buy field level EPL tickets for any one of the top sides in the league, and it would be 10% of the price you'll pay for crappy seats at the World Cup.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      By GoobyPls · Posted

      Meh… I knew this thread would turn into a Bryce/Tua comparison, when they couldn’t be further apart situations.   Dolphins catered there whole offense toward Tua, they brought in a coach that would run a Tua friendly offense, the went in got the best most explosive WR in the NFL and paired him the fastest WR in that years draft. Panthers have done the opposite, they went and got a Pete Carroll disciple who likes to run the ball under center, they drafted big slow WR who got little separation in college. Literally the polar opposite of Bryce’s scouting report coming out of Alabama.   Tua was a decent QB 2 years ago, but the concussions, lack of movement have caught up to him. He never had a great arm to begin with but now since he doesn’t want to get hit he’s taking the whole offense down with him.
