The pressure is off

UpstateGF9 : 1/19/2023 1:04 am
Giants fans. The Eagles have everything to lose in this game and the Giants have nothing. It's the home stadium, #1 seed, almost MVP candidate QB team that beat the Giants twice this season (once in a blowout) with the arguably deepest roster in the league Vs. The rebuilding, rookie head coach, QB can't cut it team. Not to mention the fact that we haven't won a game in Philly in 10 years. Go out there, play loose, everything's on the table, leave everything on the field. Beat those birds.
The pressure is never off

Playing the Eagles.

I agree there would be no, or less, pressure if the Giants were playing the 49'ers or some other out of division team, but against the NFC East record and expectations go out of the window and losing is never an option.
We are playing with house money....but then again

We never know when we will be back here again.

The Giants are playing their best football.

Last we saw, the Eagles weren't.....let's hope that continues.

Enjoy game
the pressure is on not off

If this team thinks it can win this game - then they have to prove that they can step up in class. It's time to put the big boy pants on.
It’s the playoffs

The pressure mounts with each game no matter who you are.

Let’s see who can handle it best.
Even though a loss doesn't diminish

what was accomplished this season, They're two wins away from the Super Bowl.

I heard on the radio yesterday that since 1990 the Giants have faced the 1 seed 6 times in the playoffs and they're 6-0.

Why not a little more magic and make that 7-0.
I disagree.

No more house money comments. We are in the divisional round of the playoffs. 2 wins and we are in the Super Bowl. Both teams have everything to lose. Imo.
Hopefully the team

That is as much a certainty as you can get about this game.

These guys didn’t make it to the NFL because they think they are playing with house money. 30+% of this roster will turnover next season, if a player plays like it s house money, pretty good chance he will be included in that group.

Keeping your job is not House money.
Eff the Eagles and their inbred fanbase

This is the warm up game for them. I bet Daboll does not see it that way. Get an early lead, run Barkley and Jones, and get after Jalen Hurts. Much more pressure on Philly. Hope they choke on it .
WOuldnt Say The Pressure Is "Off"

Its the playoffs. Pressure is defintely on, however there is defintely more pressure on the Eagles. They are the #1 seed. Everyone expects them to win this game so there is more oressure in them. I still beleive that Hurts's shoulder is still an issue. Plus, he will be facing a Giants defense that is as confident as ever, and will have all their starters in there which has not been the case in either of the first 2 meetings
If we are good enough to get this far, we are

good enough to keep going.
It wont diminish what was done this season and the step forward...

that DJ took. Certainly if he's what hes show the past month, it gives the Giants a big leg up in an otherwise qb weak NFC. However, there are no guarantees in this league (as evidenced by the past decade of Giants football) and many of these players may never see the divisional round again. So yes, they are playing with house money, but there is most certainly pressure to advance. What I would hope is that the circumstances lead this team to playing looser while they Eagles are tight.
Winks got to do something

with two big long limbed monster DTs against a oompa loompa crippled QB.
