Was it a Positive that we lost to the Giants?

Looking back at it, I really think losing to the Giants helped us out. First, we won't have to play Philadelphia, who I believe is world's better and more dangerous than Arizona. it also makes Philly play New York in a matchup that will take alot out of both teams. Also, since we did lose, we will have more motivation going in if the Giants were to win their game than before. Oh, and we already know what happens when we lose to a team in the regular season and then face them again in the playoffs. So I guess what i'm asking is, now that you have seen the consequences of losing, which side would you pick right now?

Losing- (Playing the Cards, and if the Giants win, going into New York)

Winning- (Playing the Eagles, and if we win, we keep homefield)

with all considered, i'm gonna have to pick losing

Of course, we would have rather won against New York. For starters, we are a much MUCH better team at home than on the road. I would take Philly here this week, in a heartbeat, because even if we beat Arizona on Saturday we still have to play the championship game outside of Charlotte which isn't in our best interest. I'd rather go in, knowing that we have every game in Charlotte, even if the matchups, on paper, don't favor us because I have more confidence in us at home, than I do on the road --- even playing less than stellar teams (let alone a good team).

I don't believe there is any such thing as a good loss. But, with all things considered, I am very happy playing the cards this weekend.

Most of you should also know that beating a team twice in only a few weeks is a very hard thing to do in the NFL. Once we take care of business slapping the cards around this weekend, I don't have any problem going back to the Meadowlands for a rematch. I know the team believes they let a win get away with a missed field goal and that will definitely be added motivation.

So, a good loss? No. But a situation to complain about? Not at all.

I agree with the Philly comment. That's the one team I didn't want to play. It's all about getting hot going into the playoffs, and that's what they are. We, on the other hand, had a bye and barely pulled one out against the Saints. Just sayin.

'Barely' pulled one out against the #1 rated offense without our 2 starting defensive tackles....just sayin':cool:

    • Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true. 
    • Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.   
    • I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
