88Comrade2000 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Honestly, who is going to stop the Giants from making the superbowl. Right now, they have to be favorites to repeat as champs. Maybe Dallas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Nothing is guaranteed in the NFL, but I like my chances with home field throughout pretty much assured now, coming into cold and windy Giants stadium in the middle of January, with 2 weeks to prepare for our first opponent. Oh yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah! Let's relax there man. Nothing is guaranteed. We are 2 up on Tampa and Carolina. The good thing is, one of them has to lose because they play one another next week. The weird thing is, we are guaranteed a bye IF we win the division. How weird is it that you clinch a first round bye before clinching the division. And we wouldn't know who the opponent is until the week before the game so there isn't two weeks to prepare for an opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Joe Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The Giants haven't done **** yet. And with Plax out they don't have a WR who demands a double team on every play. That makes running the ball harder as we saw today. It's a long road to the Superbowl; I'm not getting my hopes up anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 New York by far ...Then Tampa, Dallas BIG BIG BIG BIG IF'S. Only say that because both teams seem to be hot right now And to think Dallas actually beat Tampa with the one and only Brad Johnson. Someone, anyone from the NFC is just going to have to catch them on a bad game. The NFC will have two shots to do so. It's a reach, but possible.

The Giants only need to go 2-2 the next 4 weeks to guarantee it, and I think they are more than capable. As for preparing two weeks in advance. Coaches have been preparing two game plans for as long as I can remember, you can also prepare for who you think will likely make it to the next round. Either way, you do have 2 weeks to prepare.

barens2 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Dallas for all intents and purposes...with their starting QB back, and Terrence Newman, are a big threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysSaintsFan Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Honestly, who is going to stop the Giants from making the superbowl. Right now, they have to be favorites to repeat as champs. Maybe Dallas? Panthers look pretty darn good too-they're back to playing Jon Fox-style of football, and Jake Delhomme is healthy too. While Tampa may be overrated, this is one tough SOB team. As for my team(Dallas)-I'm not holding my breath-I wouldn't be surprise if I wake up 3 weeks from now, and yet another Dec meltdown goes in the books.

Heidenreich Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think Carolina is the only team with a shot. Arizona wont beat them at Giants stadium. Minny, Chicago, Green Bay (whichever ****bag team wins the north) wont beat them Neither wild card team will win either. Be that Tampa, Dallas, Atlanta, Washington, whoever.

THEHEREAFTER Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The 5th and 6th seeds have won the last two SB's respectively. It's quite possible that a team besides the Giants represents the NFC. The Giants are very deep and very impressive but not unbeatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite possible that a team besides the Giants represents the NFC. The Giants are very deep and very impressive but not unbeatable. To be frank, we were a couple of plays from being swept in the reg season by the Giants last year. Otherwise-we would have limped into Tampa sans Owens, Gurode, and possibly Newman/Ratliffe, and would have gotten killed there, while Eli and Strahan would have baked under the sun with Lindsey Lohan in the Cayman Islands during the bye. As for the Steelers-I still stick to my gut feeling that XL was fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Panthers are hugely underrated. They're skilled all across the board. I would say Tampa, but they're not a great road team. Dallas? Well, we all know about Dallas' recent playoff struggles. Yep, I'm going with the Panthers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giants are very deep and very impressive but not unbeatable. IIRC, the Colts were the 4th seed when they won 2 years ago. You are probably thinking of the Steelers 3 years ago.

dcnativenerd Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The only teams in the NFC I can see beating the Giants are Tampa Bay and Carolina. In the AFC, Tennessee and Pittsburgh. Apart from that, it's gonna be easy pickin's for the Giants, if they keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Villi Phanatic Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Any team can obviously lose on a given day but I think the giants have separated themselves quite a bit from the rest of the pack, barring what happens with this plax/pierce situation or other injuries. I'm skeptical of Carolina as they've been stomped a couple times (granted everyone in the NFC south loses divisional road games), and they struggled a fair share against oakland and detroit. Delhomme's been a bit iffy as well although he historically has excelled in the post-season. Assuming the giants can contain the carolina running game, which I'd expect them to do for the most part, I think they'll put up too many points for the panthers to match. As for Pitt and Tennessee, I don't see either team as all that strong contenders to take down the giants. Pittsburgh obviously has a superb defense, but their offense struggles big-time against a defense that can get pressure on the QB. As for the Titans, their defense isn't as stout against the run as may be perceived, and I don't see chris johnson and kerry collins being able to put up enough points to keep up with the g-men. But as was mentioned, the Pats were clearly the class of the league last year and the giants may see a reverse in their fortunes from the other side of the coin this year.
