McAdoo: Giants will make run to playoffs

Sunday’s 24-14 loss to the Steelers did little to dissuade Ben McAdoo from his conviction that the Giants will make the playoffs and contend for a Super Bowl in the next two months.

“Right now, we believe we have the players and the scheme to make a run at this thing,” McAdoo said on a conference call Monday.

Sort of miss leading ...didn't exclaim "We will"

Here's full context of it:

Quote:


Q: I think you said last night, ‘we are who we are right now.’ At this point, is this offense you have a playoff offense?

A: Right now we believe we have the players and the scheme to make a run at this thing. We know we need to get back to work, we need to get some pads on this week if that’s the smart thing and the right thing to do based on the injury report and player health, we’ll do that. We need to play good football on Sunday.


Not necessarily a Jim fassel..chips deal
I prefer he says

run IN playoffs.
Doesn't quite have the same zest as "I''m raising the stakes right now  
Ben in Tampa : 12/5/2016 8:47 pm : link
But I hope the result is mostly the same
I was hoping for something a little more Fassel-esque here.

If you're sitting at 8-4  
Mike in Long Beach : 12/5/2016 8:57 pm : link
with 2 games against teams you're competing with for a playoff spot (3 if you still count Dallas) and you don't think you have the guys to "make a run at it," I don't want you as my team's football coach.
Just another awful

You can't just say Fassel and not link the video, c'mon!

Yeah not quite as brazen as Jim's poker analogy

Fassel's proclamation was big time and so out of left field.

And the Giants will do it their way  
Vanzetti : 12/6/2016 1:05 am : link
Run every first down and then when that doesn't work throw 50 straight times

You want the same result? A Super Bowl loss, not me.
Honestly and I hate to say it  
JFIB : 12/6/2016 7:32 am : link
But i think there is a very good chance we finish 8-8. The team is way too flawed. I'm not sure where we find another win. Maybe we can beat the Skins but this offense is so bad and so very beatable that any team with a decent defense will not struggle to shut it down.
We all fear this season will end badly  
Ivan15 : 12/6/2016 7:34 am : link
Like too many in the last 10 years.

Based on history, 8-8 is a real possibility. 10-6 is hopeful.

11-5 is dreaming the impossible dream.
Is Miss Leading as hot as

Good, he should be focused on nothing less....

They are in position and I hope they get there.
They are NOT  
NYBEN1963 : 12/6/2016 10:18 am : link
Losing 5 straight games..the defense is too good.They beat Dallas if JPP plays the Beat the Lions and they Beat Philly
FYI  
NYBEN1963 : 12/6/2016 10:20 am : link
Philly is done ...they suck ass.The shine is off the pumpkin and the Wentz wagon has lost all 4 wheels
I don't think  
jpennyva : 12/6/2016 11:37 am : link
it's McAdoo's style to make a Fassel-like statement. He said it in his own way and it is pointless to make promises. Saying "they believe" is probably true. They certainly can make it into the playoffs. Here's hoping...
