2011 New York Giants were 6-6 at the same point...and won the Super Bowl.

Well if they were so great why were they 6-6?

Well they won the superbowl so that argument is irrelevant. They had a good defense, they just committed turnovers. This Panthers team is like Swiss cheese vs the run. Not the same deal there.

So the fact that they were 6-6 with a good defense, and we're 8-4 with a good defense is irrelevant?  Why?  We've got a good defense even despite of today's outcome, but you guys are so short sighted that you can't accept that team's have bad days.  Like our team is the only team that has days like this.  I'm just trying to point out that even though we didn't play great today doesn't mean we won't during the playoffs...which we'll make btw.  You guys can go ahead and pack it in, but not me, and I doubt the team will either.

Sorry to be Danny Downer, but this team is not winning the Super Bowl this year.  I'd give my left testicle for that to be so, but it ain't happening.

This is two weeks in a row they've given up 100+ yards rushing. That's not good Defense, you can sugar coat it any way you want. Last week Josh Mccown did whatever he wanted and this week Drew Brees didn't have to do too much but still did what he wanted. Next up ? Case Keenum who's playing as good as any QB

When was our last good defensive performance of the Year man? I'll answer that... The lowly Dolphins. One missed Julio Jones wide ass open catch away from oh snap another loss. C'mon man, open your eyes. It's not a good D this year.

shoulda went with the 07 Giants, they were 8-4 at this point in their season

[Palmetto]

last year this time the season was over so 8-4 is looking pretty good have to win more games with ATL Seattle and Dallas on our backs

I understand the sentiment OP. I really do. But you're making a rather dubious comparison here.

I'm not really trying to make any comparisons.  Just trying to talk people off of the ledge.

The only thing I think would happen would be they would rehire John Fox.  I seriously think that will happen.

I really won’t be surprised if we did that

That giants team had a real defense, and they caused turnovers. We have one of those defenses that looks good in the stat sheet i.e we don’t give up a lot of yards ... but if we can’t tackle and we cannot stop the run ... Our offense has to rely on college type gadget plays to move the ball ... That Giants team will whoop our butt.

So we don't have a good defense or offense...and you're surprised that we lost today?  Why?

The giants didn't have two offensive powerhouses in their division competing at a high level.

I hope this week is the toughest on coaches and everyone getting them prepared because it seemed like they were very unprepared or prepared for the wrong thing. We are banged up in an already depth lacking team but today I blame the scheme and play calling we went in with. One day we are gonna learn we can't play safe going against Atlanta and New Orleans. 

I just looked at 2011 New York roster to say they had more talent but looking at it no.. not really. They had guys playing at high levels like JPP Justin Tuck and Victor Cruz but you could say we are more talented for sure. They started spreading their offense out in New York more while keeping a power ground game with Jacbos.. had a great pass rush and good coverage. 

We lack safeties in open space and coverage. NFL WRs are better, the ones we play this year. We have to cover Julio, Mike Evans, Micheal Thomas, Alshon Jeffery, Jordy Nelson, Davonte Adams, Randall Cobb, Sanu, not to mention all the RBs that can do it all.
