Fight for Homefield

[CE56]

Giants fan here. I don't talk crap and will not get involved in 1-ups. I do enjoy talking about the game and getting insight from the other side.

My take on the game:

Home field will give the Giants the edge, as Vegas is saying with the home 3 handed out thus far. pay attention to the weather report because that will give both teams a better idea how the game will be played. Wind in Giants stadium can be treacherous.

Our injuries are plentiful. We desperately need a bye week going into the playoffs. There is an outside shot, the Giants end up with a 3 seed.

Robbins - he currently is banged up. 2 broken hands that have not been an issue but his shoulder has kept him out or limited. He a defensive captain and a beast int he run game although often overshadowed by Tuck.

Tuck is nicked up, but I am not concerned. He is a pro-bowler this year who is a force at end, but can drop low. A fans player.

Jacobs is our key. if he is in, the game is different. I think Ward's success came on Jacobs' coattails. To be honest, when he comes out, I think teams are just happy to trya nd tackle somebody else.

Eli has played well for the most part all season. His interceptions are down, QBR and Comp % are up. Against Dallas he was being sacked all day.

WR: A bunch of possession guys with potential. Losing Plax was a kick in the balls to the team. He was the tall guy who teams had to account for. We miss his presence, although some fans refuse to admit it.

OL: I think they are wearing down.

DBs: Surprisingly pretty good.

LBs: suspect. Good against the run but SLOW in the pass.

Feagles (punter) is great. Carney (kicker) good at FGs, bad at kickoffs.

How do Giants win?

Cause 3rd and more then 3 and force Delhomme to make mistakes in the air (via DL pressure).

How does Carolina Win?

Force LBs into coverage, pick up blitz / pass rush. Stop the run without your safety.

Nice first post... welcome to the Huddle...

This matchup has the potential to be THE game of the regular season.

How does Carolina Win?

Steve Smith, early and often. That will open the running game up and controlling the clock. Pretty much what we did against Denver against a much better D

[GMEN #1 SEED]

gallonc, sorry did i just read that right? DENVER a much better D then the giants?

[Darth Biscuit]

Not to speak for him but I think he meant that we would try to do what we did against Denver but against a much better Giants defense...

[GMEN #1 SEED]

Oh yeah i misread that.

what he said:D

[tarheelpride]

this won't be a fight by any stretch of the imagination

it will be a war

[GMEN #1 SEED]

a war is right. how do you guys play in the cold? and do not refer back to the panthers playoff win against the giants. im talking about this year cold weather games?

[tarheelpride]

we beat the pack in the cold and snow and it was cold i think for the bucs game

[Darth Biscuit]

We played OK in Green Bay in the cold and it was cool but not freezing against TB on MNF two weeks ago and we played great. I don't think the weather will affect either team... unless it's raining or snowing hard.

[Guenhwyvar]

Its going to be an easy blow out win for the panthers. Any other prediction for this game would be stupid.

[omgwtf]

Blow out? Both teams will be clawing and fighting! How could you see a blow out?

Close game, gotta win the turnover battle.

Keep Jake out of 3rd and long.

Its going to be an easy blow out win for the panthers. Any other prediction for this game would be stupid.

I love how people think we're the best team ever, dude we're 11-3...and so are the Giants (not to mention Super Bowl Champs) and the game is in NEW JERSEY...so get real and stop w/ the nonsense predictions...

...on that note...

Panthers-51

Giants-6

...it'll be a :boxing_smiley:
