Giants have nothing to play for this week..

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Yep, even if you put aside any discussion about what you think about him as a player or how good he'll be, the one thing that is a 100% certainty is that he's going to make some plays that just drop your jaw and question how he did what we just saw. This is interesting as it was something I'd never even thought/heard of until he was walking on stage after we took him.  One of the analysts on NFL Network brought it up saying something like, "I don't agree with this idea, but I know a lot of college coaches tell the star WRs to purposefully take plays off when they know it's not coming to them" It was interesting because the way he said it, almost sounded like he's heard that it was something the Arizona coaches would tell T-Mac to do.  Which on a team like ours last year, actually makes a ton of sense, because we had NOBODY else who the defense had to worry about.  So instead of taking him off the field to give him a breather, just throw him out there on the far side of the field as a dummy to keep the defense's attention and then run a play in the other direction. You're right, he isn't "as quick" as Evans, because he's quicker.  Sure, Evans does use his body better than T-Mac does, but T-Mac is a better athlete with more wiggle to his game and better at making a defender miss whereas Evans is just more likely to run through you. And your edit here is basically just an add on to my above comment, as personally, I've used the AJ Green comp for him ever since his first game for us at Arizona, it was always who I saw in his game.  He has that fluidity that Green had to him, and at their size it stands out. Actually saw another comp last night that I hadn't seen before, and while I'll admit it's been YEARS since I've seen any film of him, my immediate reaction was, "oh wow, that might be a real solid comp for style of play" And that was of Plaxico Burress. I'd like to see T-Mac have a better overall career than Plax had (especially off the field), but from what I remember about his game, the comp for body/style of play actually seems pretty solid
    • Dan signed up shortly before he opened the pizza place, kind of did a little promotion on here to get panther fans to stop by. Several huddlers reported back to say they met Dan at the restaurant, and that he would hang out and talk football and that the food was good. (I thought it was average and kinda overpriced, he wasn’t there when I went). Since his interactions were going positively, he would post from time to time on topics and give a bit of his insight. Problem is it that was around 2009, the year after Jake melted down with the 6 TO game in the playoffs, and basically started the season with similar performances. Everyone was livid that Jake got an extension that offseason and the consensus of the fans was that it was time to see what Matt Moore had. Dan in one of the threads (and in an Interview on 610) said that what he had heard from the team is that Moore was struggling with the playbook and that why he wasn’t starting. People got mad about that and started saying things like oh that’s your concussions talking…and unsurprisingly he left (but without any sort of announcement, he just stopped posting). He probably wasn’t here for more than a month or two tops, the restaurant closed that following offseason.   Dragging the pizza joint didn’t really happen to my recollection until it was announced that he was the new GM and a few of the crazies (OP of this thread among them) equated his restaurant not succeeding to not being fit to be in charge of football operations. You know, typical huddle stuff.
