For the optimists (staying alive)

I just want to have a moment of some joy. Some hope. Win next week. Go from there.

I’m glad they haven’t quit and seem to have figured out how to get off the mat. Tough times don’t last forever, as they say….

but I still prefer wins to losses.

We know this team isn't going anywhere this year but it would be good to see the team play better and to see a few bricks in the foundation for the future get set into place. Hyatt for example. Banks. JMS. Kayvon.

Not saying’. Just sayin’

They play @DAL, @SF, PHI in their next 3. If the Giants find a way to win their next two, they should definitely be in the hunt. But it's still a big stretch to win both of the next two and they still would have to play the Eagles twice in their last 3.

The Giants should have pretty favorable tiebreakers since they went 1-4 vs AFC, so their conference record will be stronger than any NFC team that has two or more wins vs AFC. 8-9 could be enough to get in if SEA falls apart down the stretch and the Giants would be in decent position to make at 8-9 with a favorable conference record.

Even if SEA finishes 8-9, the Giants would just need a third team with an inferior conference record to get in a multi-way tie with NYG and SEA to negate SEA's head-to-head tiebreaker over NYG.

Exactly! We can beat the Packers.
