Giants need to win at Eagles to really be considered

joe48 : 10/13/2015 3:29 pm
It was nice to see Eli engineer a 4th quarter comeback. The three wins in a row means the arrow is pointing up. In order for this team to make significant stride we need to beat the Eagles and the Romoless Cowboys. I know we have a lot of injuries but I have felt all along that this team is still a year away from competing with the talented teams. Beating our rivals this year will lay the groundwork for next year.
If we win the next two games

I'm going to start having hope they can make noise this year
Fuck that, if we beat the Eagles and Cowboys

we ready to roll this year.
It would be "nice". It is not "needed"

It isn't at that point of the season yet.
If they win the next 2

85% chance they win the division. Saint, dolphins, and bucs are a joke.
They need to hold serve at home

winning at Philly wouldn't hurt, for sure.

I thought the Bills game proved

we're competitive.

Beating the Eagles and Cowboys in consecutive weeks won't be easy. But if we do it, we're in the driver's seat for the NFC East.
Losing to Philly  
Dave in PA : 10/13/2015 5:10 pm : link
would be a big blow. Obviously it depends how they lose, but I seriously doubt NYG makes the playoffs unless we start to put it to the division. This is a huge game no matter how you slice it. The Ginats were lucky to survive that 49ers debacle of a second half. Need to play better ball this week (yes, I know there are key injuries).
We need all hands on deck to beat the Eagles and Boys

Our dinged guys need to make it back this week and play well Monday night and beyond. That simple for me.

Our OL is coming together and when we get Beatty back in a few weeks I believe we'll have better OL depth for OT.

Assuming Beason, Beckham, Randle, Pugh, Kennard and Ayers make it back to practice on Thursday or Friday at worst we should be solid heading into the Monday night game.

We are lucky to have a short trip for a Monday night game followed by Dallas. Go Giants!
I find it ironic that exactly this time last year

the giants pull themselves out of a 0-2 hole and then win 3 straight heading into philly. Philly and dallas games were back-to-back last year at this time too.

Hoping for a better outcome this year. Injuries are concern now heading into these games as well.
The Giants are building in the right direction

Washington doesn't stink and Buffalo is actually good. Against San Fran the team was decimated by injury, it was a huge prime time game, San Fran played well and they won.

The Eagles are more haphazard right now. They have had a lot of transition, and their OL is not very strong.

The Eagles will win this game if there defense dominates the line of scrimmage and controls the game.

The Giants will win this game if there offensive line handles the Eagles defense and Manning can do what he wants.

Or at least that's what I think.

As fans that's what we want - All hands on deck. But the training staff is not going to say guys are ready to go who are not.

Will at least a player or two come back on defense? I'm pretty sure Casillas and Beason will be back and I'm optimistic about Kenard. That would change the complexion of the LB completely.

On DL I hope, but I see no reason for optimism yet, that either Selvie or Ayers returns.

@ WR - I expect Beckum will play, not so sure about Randle.

Pugh is playing. Bank on it.
Seems to me that the Eagles game is a little less important ...  
DonQuixote : 10/13/2015 7:53 pm : link
... than the Cowboys ...
I could care less how they are considered  
JOrthman : 10/13/2015 8:26 pm : link
Just keep winning. The next two games are huge because they are division games.
I agree with joe48.

If they cant beat the Eagles this year they are not going to the playoffs.

If they cant beat Dallas without Romo & Dez at home, it says everything about the Giants.

They really have a good chance to get to 5-2 and 3-1 in the division & 4-2 in the NFC. There is also a chance that Dallas is then 2-4 and Philly, at best is 3-4

You attack Philly the same way they did Buffalo - Buffalo has better players at each level of the defense
I just don't want to see the nosedive we saw last year.

The Giants don't NEED to win this week but it sure would be nice. If they don't win this week, they will need to string some wins together quickly.
If we are healthy, there is all the motivation  
giantgiantfan : 10/14/2015 12:02 am : link
in the world to move to 4-2 and drop Philly to 2-4. Problem, is Philly has all the motivation in the world to tie things up at 3-3 a piece.
