The purpose of this post IS NOT to debate whether or not we have the right coach for our future.
The purpose of this post IS NOT to debate whether or not we actually have a chance to do anything in the playoffs even if we do make it.
The purpose of this post IS to give some energy to the fans that enjoy ups and downs of a football season and love the buzz that comes with keeping hope for making the playoffs.
If we win 2 in a row, no mater what happens, we are only a half game behind the cowboys. The Eagles play the bills and the bears over the next two weeks. If they win them both, we are one game behind them. If they split, we are tied. If they lose them both, we are a game ahead.
In summary, if we can win two in a row, here are the standings WORST CASE SCENARIO:
EAGLES 5-4
COWBOYS 4-4
GIANTS 4-5
After these two weeks Eagles next 2 games:
Seahawks
Patriots
After these two games Cowboys next 7 games
Vikings
Lions
Patriots
Bills
Bears
Rams
Eagles
SO, let's get excited about another chance to win this Sunday. Because if we do, we have a BIG TIME game against the cowboys on Monday Night football to save our season.
Really?
If we win two in a row, I guarantee you everyone here gets excited again. Is 2 wins in a row, while not probable, really that outrageous to hope for?
Seems like that should have been accompanied by your old handle, don't you think?
More of a regular lurker than poster. My first post was when I was 12 years old and fatman in Charlotte ripped me apart, lol.
Met BigBlue56' at a Cardinal game. Met up with LIP at the 2011 SF NFC Championship game Have donated 4-or 5 years.
Our O-Tackles played like garbage. I believe Remmers and Soldier are prideful guys, they are going to bring it next week.
Barkley had a mini regression game. His focus was on the ankle and forgot what he had learned in year 1: pass pro and not losing yards on a dead play. He will get it right next week.
EE is having a great year. He was drop free through 6 games, He will snap back to that form next week. one bad game.
Defense has shown improvement. Back to a standard offense to show they are getting better, last week was a gimmicky team and got the best of them.
Lions starting RB is out.
Tate has show great leadership qualities in a loss, I expect him to helo the offense to decrease the bad plays with a strong presence in practice this week.
Our special teams are awesome as long a sRosas is making his field goals, lets get back to 100% this week.
What else?
I don’t think we have the right coach but I am not going to root for loses. I can also know going into a lot of the games that we will probably lose but I will still watch it like they will win.
Famous Bill Parcells quote (I'm paraphrasing): Keep doing the things that give you the best chance to win until you are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
We are a long way from mathematically eliminated. I saw a lot of spirit from our defense in the 4th quarter last week. The players haven't given up. There is a chance.
they are giving 6.5 in the betting line
and the Giants just got toasted by a team that is nowhere near the quality of the Lions.
Why do you think the Giants will win even ONE of the next two games?
What s a winnable game? Were the Cardinals one. When you use the term, “winnable game” there is the implication that any game not in that category is an un-winnable game.
What kind of game were the Cowboys for the Jets two weeks ago.
All games are winnable in the NFL and watching the next two games rooting for the Giants to get back in this thing is legitimate and exactly what I intend to do.
Houston was 0-4 last season after losing at home to the Giants. How many “winnable games” were left on their schedule. As it turned out, enough for them to make the play offs
This
Right. Nowhere near in quality. Except for the fact that they played each other this season and ended in a tie. Nowhere near.
Taken together, that means we have a 7% chance to win both.
NFL predictions - ( New Window )
If we can win the next 2 we will be back in the we have a chance bucket.
sure, there are several other NFL teams that have had it as bad or worse than us over the last decade or so. We're sick of being part of that group and desire a return to the upper echelon of game day performances and victories.
Should we win the next 2 games, there really is no question that we have a demonstrably favorable remaining schedule as compared to the eagles and cowboys.

Reasonable take (there are a few on BBI)
