Predictions on how the Giants season will play out?

Eric from BBI : Admin : 11/26/2016 9:21 am
I'm probably being naive but I think we still have an outside shot at catching the Cowboys. I think we'll beat them in the Meadowlands. I hope that first Redskins game doesn't come back to haunt us.

But if the Giants make it as a Wild Card, who do you prefer we play in the first round?

... preferred opponent in first round, between Vikes, Skins and Lions, I'd take the Vikings, Lions and Skins in that order. Skins have played well lately. Lions too. Vikes don't look as good as earlier in the season.

in as the 5th or 6th WC. Who would we want in the first round however? I think that's a toss up and I don't think we'd match up well with either Atlanta or Detroit in their respective stadiums.

With that said, our offense needs to start exerting itself and start to make bigger plays. It's time to start ramping up to the playoffs.
We sneak into playoffs with the last seed...  
M.S. : 11/26/2016 10:45 am : link

...at 9-7.

@Cleveland - W
@Pittsburgh - L
Dallas - L
Detroit - W
@Philly - L
@Washington - L

Who we meet in the playoffs doesn't matter one iota. The fact that the 2016 Giants team even got into the playoffs with an inferior offensive front is plenty good.

2017 will be our year with a serious push to the Super Bowl!

We have been fortunate that our defense has played as well as it has, with the guys we are trotting out there at LB and FS.....our DL just does not have the rotation depth to keep our starters fresh....

Disagree at every level...We haven't been fortunate, we have extreme talent on the Defensive side and Will get better.
And no depth? What are you looking for all pros on the bench.? Wynn, Bromely, Odi (who is coming on now) and the kid from Notre Dame. I don't think anyone in the game can come close to that front 8.
I count six all pro types on the defense . And at the positions of extreme importance in today's passing game we have four all pro types. Vernon (who is over the hand and getting better), JPP, Cromartie and Janoris.
Kennard and Robinson give us more athleticism at LB'er than we've had since LT and crew retired.
Collins is emerging as a candidate for defensive player of the year.
Guys look at this cornucopia of riches and cry "poverty". " We're lucky to get this far, now we're sure to wear out,"
Nuts!

PatersonPlank : 10:43 am : link : reply

To say we haven't played well since 2012 is not true, unless your standard is winning every game by 25 points.

I said they haven't played well, since the second half of the 2012 season, 3-5...2013, 7-9....2014, 6-10......2015, 6-10.....so since the midpoint of 2012, the Giants are, 22-34, with a majority of those wins against bottom feeders....so they have not played well, until this season.....


Based on your comment, I bet you didn't think we played well in either Super Bowl year either.

How in the world, do you come off on a tangent like that?

I see stuff, written, that we are going to run the table the rest of the season.....that we are going to catch the Cowboys.....is it possible? yes....realistic? no....

I tend to look at the Giants more realistically, than most do.....of course, Christmas is coming, and if you want to send me a pair of the Blue Tints you wear, I'll give it a shot....
I hate saying this but....  
Blue Angel : 11/26/2016 11:08 am : link
The team that worries me are the Eagles.......I could see them winning five of their next six and easily beating Dallas if Dallas plays their third stringers if Seattle and the Giants pose no threat to catch them. We better beat Cleveland tomorrow or I could see us going in a nose dive!
BBI is great  
BigBlueShock : 11/26/2016 11:09 am : link
The only place on earth where being negative = being "realistic". You'd swear that was the dictionary meaning.

I think the OL has been showing improvement but the injuries have killed them. But these guys will be coming back, so that should solidify things a bit. The Giants also have far and away the best defense in the division. Winning the division will be tough, considering the schedules for us and Dallas, but it's still what we should be striving for. That's why I was hoping for a Dallas loss on Thanksgiving. It's an uphill climb, but let's enjoy the ride
Part of what makes this a tough prediction IMO  
jogo1 : 11/26/2016 11:21 am : link
is that the Giants are 1-2 on the road (London was a pro-Giants crowd) with 4 still remaining.
Watching the opposition,  
oldog : 11/26/2016 11:39 am : link
is the best key to the coming weeks. Cleveland are as much of a threat as anyone, because they have been close several times, and will be loosely seeking to get into the win column. Realistically, however, their record suggests a Giant win. Certainly the knowledgeable oddsmakers don't see the Giants losing that one. So, 8-3, Pittsburg next. The Steelers have looked vulnerable against stronger teams, and the power ratings almost all have the Giants moderately to significantly stronger, than they are. At home, they will be tough, but can be handled. 9-3? Could be. Then, as a probable 9-3 team we will face our divisional group, Dallas, Washington and Philly. 2 out of three. They, notwithstanding Dallas's record, all look flawed. Dallas, with its 4th round rookie QB and its weak secondary. So, 11-4, the other game might be winnable too, so surely a wild card, and there is always the possibility of a Dallas collapse. They appear to have had an extraordinary run of luck, but such things have a way of evening out. Defense, in December and January, has a way of proving more reliable than Offense. If we lose one of the divisional games, it would be best to lose the Dallas game, because we will in likelihood have to beat them in the playoffs, and like NE in 07-08, its much better to win the last one. Outside, there is no team that the Giants can't beat, and this year's team has been one that improves, and gets stronger as the season goes on. This year's Giants have shown that they want to win, and can execute. This season will remain interesting and entertaining until the end. Once there, I anticipate that Eli and JPP will know what to do. Collins and ODB too, would appear to be ready to provide the sort of leadership that winning teams need.
Agree, Giant defense is playing at a higher level than rest of NFCE  
Jimmy Googs : 11/26/2016 11:46 am : link
and offense should be good enough to get us into playoffs as wildcard.

Think we have a great chance to beat Cowboys in NJ, but we will need them to slip elsewhere too as we aren't going to run the table.

In the playoffs, hopefully we have the O-line back healthy and Vereen and can make some noise against anyone other than traveling to Seattle...
10-6  
AcidTest : 11/26/2016 11:51 am : link
and a WC. The banged up OL prevents a better record. We can't run, and have little downfield passing game. Eli and the defense will have to carry this team. We haven't beaten anybody by more than seven points, and have only scored four points more than our opponents. The good news is we are winning instead of losing close games, unlike last year.

I like the way the Giants are playing football -- they've been playing tough and gritty, and especially the defense seems to bite the bullet and ratchet things up in the second half of every game they play - I am loving the Defense!!!!

If they keep this up the Giants will make some noise and they certainly will be relevant through the rest of the season. If somehow the offense wakes up -- look out!!!

Relevant football - Yeah Baby - Go Giants!!!

AnnapolisMike : 11/26/2016 1:17 pm : link
to get to 10 or 11 wins. It will not be enough to take the division unless the Cowboys implode. I will say they will beat Detroit, Cleveland and the Cowboys and perhaps the Eagles. The Washington game will not matter.

The goal is to make the playoffs...as tempting as it might be to see the Vikings beat the Cowboys next week. I think we are better off with a Vikings loss to improve the chances of the wildcard berth.
It's gonna be tough to win out  
JohnVB : 11/26/2016 1:43 pm : link
But it's possible and I like the Giants the rest of the way if healthy.

Realistically, I see the Giants at 11-5 and a 5 seed. I'd prefer to play ATL or DET as I think we match up well with both. Road playoff games in a dome would help the offense.

The only team I don't want to see is Seattle. In Seattle would be tough and the defenses are similar. Their offense is playing better and they have a lot of playoff experience on their roster.
Eric, I Agree About Not Giving Up On The Division  
Trainmaster : 11/26/2016 1:57 pm : link
Obviously the Giants need to beat Dallas head to head, and pick up a game on them somewhere:

Quote:
Dallas' remaining schedule:
@ Minnesota - L?
@ New York Giants - L
Tampa Bay - W
Detroit - W
@ Philadelphia - L?


Likely need Dallas to lose at the Giants and 2 more losses to end up 12-4

Quote:
@Cleveland - W
@Pittsburgh - L?
Dallas - W
Detroit - W
@Philly - W?
@Washington - W?


Giants would need to beat Dallas and only lose 1 more to end up 12-4. Winning the division seems very unlikely.

11-5 and Wildcard seed 1 (5th overall), playing at Detroit is my guess / most reasonable hope.

9-7 will mean missing the playoffs. 10-6 is about a 50/50 shot; most likely the #6 seed and tougher division opponent.
13-3 baby, count on it!!

Probably win in the WC round and then the ride ends in the Divisional round. As a Giants fan, of course I'd like to think we can win it all any time we get into the dance.. and we can. But realistically, this is basically what my gut says will happen the rest of the way.

Just going to enjoy the ride. Been a while since we've been able to even have a discussion like this after Thanksgiving.

9-7. Been fooling around with The NY Times playoff thing. There is a very real chance the NYG are the only team in the East to not qualify for the post season. That Redskin game will be a "win and in" contest for both. I have DC winning. The Eagles go to Detroit as the 5 seed and the Redskins go to Atlanta as the 6. Flame away.

And this is the other thing I've said since UDFA: the OL will hold this team back. So far, it's pretty obvious in our inability to run and beat the 2 deep safety looks just about every team employs vs the NYG. Unfortunately, when it's all said and done, The_Boss will look like a prophet once again.

It IS Reese's fault tho if Richburg proves to be the poor player at C he is now long term and if Flowers doesn't become an elite LT because he picked them. And yes, at 9 Flowers has to become an elite level LT in my eyes, especially with Todd Gurley still on the board. Sy'56 doesn't believe in Richburg long term and many outside talent evaluators think Flowers is ideally suited for RT. The only premium pick which has worked out, for the most part, is Pugh at LG.
Todd Gurley  
Mike in NY : 11/26/2016 6:30 pm : link
Has looked like crap this year for Los Angeles. No guarantee he would do better behind our OL. Had we had Vereen healthy all year our O I think would be better because Jennings would be used less in the passing game. He needs to hold onto the ball better though.

While true, Barry Sanders would look like shit behind the NYG line the last 2 years, I would still rather have Gurley and whatever subsequent series of events along the OL Reese would have added since the 9th pick of 2015.

USAF NYG Fan : 11/26/2016 7:04 pm : link
Redskins game yet beat the Cowboys. The Cowboys are a much better team then when the Giants faced them week 1. The Redskins have improved as well BUT I don't think it's as much as the Giants have improved.

In the Redskins game the Giants gave up 11 penalties for 118 yards. Eli threw two interceptions (Could/Should have been 4) and had 2 fumbles. Vereen also had a fumble (for a turnover). The Skins had a crazy special teams run back and faked a punt successfully. Desean burned them on a very deep pass as well.

The Giants were undisciplined and all around sloppy which was clearly shown with turnovers and penalties. Did you know the Giants are now one of the least penalized teams in the league? Although still not great the Giants have broken even over the last 3 games on turnovers which is far better than the stats are currently showing over the course of the season. They were -2 after the Skins game. I think it's unlikely they turn it over as often as they did the last game.

Point being that I don't see the Giants making all those mistakes again against the Skins. I also think that some pressure from refs just shifted from Beckham to Norman. I even see some teams turning the tables on Norman and start getting under his skin instead. We will likely have Vereen back AND he should even be back up to speed by then (is my math wrong here?).

As for the Cowboys, I think the Giants match up well against them. However, the Boys are still playing strong, great, sound football right now. If the Giants can contain Elliot AND keep Dak in the pocket (don't leave him a hole to run through), I like the Giants for the win.

I don't think our OL can hold up for the rest of the season.....I think it will be 9-7, 10-6......

Our defense will be gassed by the end of the season......our offense just can't put teams away and this will come back and bite us in the ass......

This is not being negative, it's just a fact.....

We have been fortunate that our defense has played as well as it has, with the guys we are trotting out there at LB and FS.....our DL just does not have the rotation depth to keep our starters fresh....

Our offense, is still basically, OBj and Eli....take either out of the game and the offense sputters.....SS has played as expected.....he's a rookie, that is a little inconsistent....but his playing time this year will pay dividends next year.....Cruz is Cruz.....he is one step away from losing playing time....he also is not the VC we remember.....after these guys you have hit and miss receivers, including the TE's.....a TE and 3rd WR are needed next year....

Our running game shows signs of life, sometimes....but there is basically no speed.....the loss of Wilson, is so apparent, when you see Jennings rip off a run for 20 yards that Wilson would have taken to the house.....but when you absolutely need, a first down on 3rd and short, it's a coin toss....Eli has played well, for the most part, but we have seen how he reacts in games where there is real pressure.....and the way this OL is being shuffled around, he will be seeing more.....the OL has to be fixed in the off season....it's almost a number one priority, like the defense was last year, next year....

I think injuries are starting to become a factor on this team.....

We have a good chance at making the playoffs.....but how far we go, depends on how healthy we remain.....


I don't understand your comment a of the Giants defense 'being gassed'. If anything they are as healthy as we have seen them in years. Maybe you are referring to pressure, but I don't see what the defense has done thus far that has been a Herculean effort.
I have felt real good about this Giant team for weeks  
steve in ky : 11/26/2016 7:09 pm : link
I see no reason why they can't win the division. They just need to pick up one game on the Cowboys and then win their home field game against them.

Will it happen, who knows but I feel good about their chances and like where they are sitting right now.

They are coming together as a team for a first year coach and look to be building towards peaking at just the right time.

it's very hard to make a counterpoint to someone who thinks his own opinions are facts - but sure I will respond:

Yes, I disagree with most everything you said about the outlook of the team. This whole "injuries rearing their ugly head" narrative is not only complete bullshit but also a pretty lazy analysis. What major contributor on the team (a good starter who we expected contributions from) is hurt other than Pugh? I'll give you Thompson, but Adams has stepped up really well in his absence and there hasn't been much of a liability from that position. So...no - injuries are not a problem with this team. We are extremely healthy.

You also said our offense is still pretty much all Eli and OBJ. Not true. We've won games this season without major contributions from Beckham. You say Shepard has been an "inconsistent rookie" - yet we've won multiple games this season because he has played extremely well and had more targets than any other receiver. He makes clutch catch after clutch catch that helps this team win games. That doesn't make him a factor in your eyes though. Not sure what you're watching.

You basically say that since we haven't beaten teams by a lot or haven't played consistently enough on offense that we somehow aren't a good team. With that theory - are the Seahawks not a good team? They lost to the Rams, barely beat the Dolphins at home, should have lost to the Bills at home, and at large have looked inconsistent throughout the year. The only problem? They win. They end up winning those games no matter how you slice it. You probably think that the Eagles are better than us or they have more talent or because they've beaten us a bunch of times lately that somehow they are a better team. Well guess what, right now they aren't.

The problem I have with fans like you is you have this perfect vision of what every aspect of the Giants roster should look like, or how every player or every offense, defense, and ST should play every single Sunday and if it doesn't live up to your standard even though let's say, they fucking win the game, you're disappointed. So you're basically forever a pessimistic fan and that really sucks mostly for you, but also for the rest of us who have to put up with your negative opinion analysis every week. That being said - I hope you are proven wrong about this team and you're man enough to come out and say hey ya know what - this team just MIGHT be good - if they continue to win games. The end.
It's just a matter of time before our offense really clicks...  
Shockwave : 11/26/2016 10:37 pm : link
Not sure wtf is going on with it but we are not doing half as well as we could be on offense. Never mind the running game, that's a lost cause IMO and Jennings is horrible. Vareen is not a true 3 down back but if he comes back and plays like he was he first few games it could be a huge boost and turning points. Basically Jennings always turns nothing into nothing ...Vareen would always seem to scamper for 2-3 yards no matter what.

Defense is getting better but and hopefully it's not a fluke. It's really surprising that yes we could actually be the #1 seed, realistically it's in our hands if we want it.
Well, I will try to explain......

All I have stated are concerns that just about everyone has stated.....but because Doomster dared to say it, it's the name that gets attacked, not the content.....I have read stuff that Eric and others have written, not favorable to the Giants, and most of BBI agrees or just accepts it.....and I know if I wrote the EXACT same thing, guys like you would have taken me over the coals for it....this team still has a way to go.....

As for those that don't think this DL is not getting gassed, look at time of possession and the number of snaps JPP and Vernon have on the field......because of lack of rotational depth, they have stayed out on the field too much......anyone that doesn't think there is a drop off when the likes of Bromley, Wynn, OO, and company come in, are crazy.....The same thing happened in 2008, when Strahan retired and Osi was hurt....guys like Tuck stayed out on the field too much, and by the end of the season, were gassed....not to mention the fact that, as I said before, Vernon and JPP are not 100%....

No one really has a clue.

They are 7-3....so you would think they will go 3-3 at the least. There are no Seattles or New Englands on the schedule that you can circle as a loss. But outside of today...any games you can circle as a win.

I'd be surprised if they do not get to 10-6 which should be enough for a wildcard. Losses to Minny and Washington could well come back to haunt them unfortunately.

And this is the other thing I've said since UDFA: the OL will hold this team back. So far, it's pretty obvious in our inability to run and beat the 2 deep safety looks just about every team employs vs the NYG. Unfortunately, when it's all said and done, The_Boss will look like a prophet once again.

Ive never seen someone brag about being wrong almost every single time, and call himself a prophet, lol. How did your love affair with the Eagles turn out last year? Remember? They were a guarantee to win the division, cause Vegas said so! You rode their jocks all season, facts and results on the field, be damned. Nice prophecy. Now, you say the Eagles will end up as the 5 seed? Nope, you're not an Eagles fan...
Giants get hot - Offense comes together.

End up making it to the NFC title game and losing to the the seadawgs -

Giants do not win the east but get to the title game the hard way - wildcard.
Some thoughts

I don't think it is unreasonable to think the Giants might be able to catch Dallas. I think their rookies will hit a wall and once they face a couple of losses, who knows how they will react. No doubt Dallas will still go to the playoffs but I don't think they win out and I don't think they go deep into the playoffs.

I would not be surprised if Washington starts dealing with some internal strife if they continue to have games like the one they just played at Dallas where they generate yards but are undone by poor coaching mistakes such as icing your own kicker and poor clock management. The blame game may rear its head and they could falter as a result.

The Giants defense has been amazing and a large part of why the Giants are where they are. Hopefully, they continue to play well and keep the injuries to a minimum. While the Oline continues to be problematic, we know that the offense isn't even close to reaching its potential. Maybe they kick it into high gear to finish out the season which would definitely make the Giants a contender for the division if Dallas loses a few. I am hoping Vareen'ss return will help with the runnung game. In any case, I see they Giants getting into the playoffs. Of the remaining games, Detroit worries me the most. They are scrappy. I'd rather play Dallas in the first round.

I remain cautiously optimistic.
Giants WILL win the Super Bowl
